Dear Diary, movies, woofer, sleep

• Given the number of shops open on the 26th ‘public holiday’ I find myself wondering if it’s actually a white collar public holiday.
• Mamma Mia was fun the second time around, Brosnan still the low point  - although very pretty (I assume singing is not his thing).
• Woofer doesn’t like doggy toothpaste, sad face is too sad so brushing accomplished without toothpaste with post brushing squeaky ball reward. Will see how he adapts to this in the long term, it’s only been a couple of days and he already approaches me when I‘m holding toothpaste as if he’s going into mourning. Aww
• Have finally bought a doorstop/wedge thingie as the combination of woofer breaking in at 5am to sleep on my floor (thump!) and maharetr hitting snooze (alarum!) is making waking up a sort of multi-stage thing that happens well before my own alarm is due. While trying to find one most stores looked at me blankly but craft store offered me one I can also decorate when inspired. Yay!

The introduction was very comforting, I have been trying to have no expectations because most of the (many) CPAs I have worked with haven't had much personality overlap. I was concerned this would be a really challenging course to get into. The assessment is broad and has a test, team and peer assessment component as well as an exam (I like this model).

My trail went boingboing -> predictably irrational -> Autocomplete Me and the topic was Google's predictive powers based on frequent searches. The 'how can I get my girlfriend to...' prediction from top to bottom reads a lot like the summary of a bad romance novel - which implies men read them more than I think...

More importantly, the question people ask the most about their cat revealed below!
