    Oh that poor moggy! How dare you pamper them so hard! 😂 Might explain why 'it's a dog's life' but ' the cat's pyjamas'.
    And you take that satisfaction and giggle away to your heart's content.

    LI data is generally wrong - that's the number of people who click through to look at the link. We generally find that a high percentage of those don't actually apply! Given you said they had to add to the JD based on what you actually did, the chances are most people aren't prepared to take on what you were doing. So maybe a. give yourself credit for being so capable, and b. think carefully about the scope of the next job. 
    Oh really …. How interesting. I wouldn’t be surprised if the JD didn’t put people off. It’s a big and wide ranging scope.

    Maybe because it is no longer a one person job, and when it is written down, everyone can see that. 
    When DH left one of his jobs (after 10 years) they had to hire three people to replace him.

    Yes, cue the maniacal laughter @KajiKita.  Word may also have got out about the company's toxic culture.   Loving the cat and curtains.   Cats were worshipped in ancient Egypt and they've never really got over it.  You are, as ever, fab love Humdinger xx
