This humidity is killing me and can fuck right off!
Agreed. I thought it was just me. I feel bad saying this, but I'm glad it's not.
not just you, the clouds have made it oppressive
You hate humidity!Why yes, yes I do!
Starting my new job tomorrow!
But they still haven’t informed me of when exactly I’m meant to start my shit. Will have to call in and chase that up after lunch me thinks.
Oh and I started my own community for anyone interested, learning about, or working in early childhood.
Your stomach will know when you need to start shitting.
Haha oops, I must be out of f’s.
That's so cool you've started a new community. You should make a post from [email protected] explaining what it's about (I know pretty self explaining really but you know) and it'll land on the homepage. If it's just Melbourne based then post it in [email protected]. It'll still end up on the home page.
Good luck with your new job tomorrow!
Something's not quite right because your community is not showing up in the list of Aussie.zone communities. I'm an idiot when it comes to tech but maybe @[email protected] can sort it out because he's a champion at this.
The community is showing up fine for me. There may have been a little bit of a delay if this is the first time aussie.zone users have looked at Quokk.au communities. First-time federation can take a couple of minutes.
Anyway, it's fine, now. I didn't do anything.
Subscribed. My girlfriend is studying to become an ECT and we have almost a year and a half old twins at home
I'm putting a bunch of stuff on a stick and burning it then going for a swim.
This is the most profound thing I'm doing today.
Wish I had a box with a blanket to chill in...
In this weather? No.
got nearly 8 hours of sleep. OH my GOSH its so nice after nearly a week without. I feel amazing!
Oh, please let this be me tonight.
Back from my first day and oh my god I'm SO tired making an 8am start. Despite hitting the snooze button several times and leaving considerably later than I thought. And everyone else starts at 7 😵💫 with plenty of people having longer commutes than me. I'll get used to it.
I was a bit too out of it today take in everything with it all happening so fast, but it was a good first day. Being at a depot does mean it's still very testosterone heavy but not my immediate manager which makes a huge difference. My team is really friendly and welcoming and open with each other which is awesome.
I am super glad this is just part time though, I so wouldn't have the energy for full time hours in such a high contact role. And I'd feel suffocated for sure, no matter how good the workplace was
E: also, hectic wind and humidity out there but... where's the rain??? 😭 I think that's adding to the lethargy
Why is my neighbor out using his leaf blower on a day like this? He's losing the fight.
Maybe he is feeling angry and this is the outlet ? I’ll mow lawns angrily or whipper snip
Same reason mine is trying to water his trees.
Nothing else to do.
Adelaide tomorrow! Exciting, but it involves planes 🫤
Why is it still warm?
If we get a 30 degree day in April I might not bother making additional super contributions
Interesting. I went into my bathroom and smelt smoke, so I opened up the front door and there's quite a smokey smell. Nothing on VicEmergency, and I'm not sure who's got a fire on at the end of a 30° day while it's still in the 20s
Edit: well I got paranoid so I went for a walk and made sure nothing's on fire. Am I just smelling the bushfire out near Beaufort? I actually didn't know that was still going tbh, but I haven't actually smelt it before
Planned burns
The ones in macedon/wandong? Feels a bit far to smell the smoke
Yeh I woke up at 3am and had to close all my windows because of it. Checking now, my particulate matter sensor went crazy then
I saw someone mention somewhere that there was a bunch of planned burns going on
I swear this like the 3rd or 4th year in a row when planned burns occur on the windiest day imaginable. I know that these are scheduled some time in advance, but surely there is some contingency.
I was smelling it a night or two ago and heard sirens so maybe something happened
The garage has been carpet bombed with mouse traps.
Is your dog a mouse hunter? Mine is not, she makes friends with them and even shares her food. When I explain the purpose of the JRT breed to her she wags her tail and gives me a head tilt.
My old dog used to chase them and catch them outside but if they ever came in she would watch them and look at us as if to say 'this one is your problem'
Hahaha. Nah. I don't think he's ever seen one. They're mainly in the garage.
I found squished kraft processed cheese with bacon bits to be irresistible to mice. Check the traps everyday. I once caught dozens of the buggers in my neighbour's aviary with this method
Its bin day in my estate and not a single one is left standing. Fortunately they were already emptied.
Glad I watered all the plants last night. Got 40 seconds of rain today.
Which means ongoing watering, so back to the watering routine
Yeah, I wish I'd watered my plants because I came back to a wilted sad mess and a couple of potted chillies blown over by the wind
I have not seen any rain at all for days
Absolutely no rain here...
Starting to lose hope in it
tandoori chicken in oven, rice with almonds and sultanas in the cooker. It smells good. :)
non nom, it is delicious
Post art on different platform, nobody's really that interested. Plus it'd just get scraped by AI. :(
(I know I should be making it for myself but when you're depressed and everything's difficult it's nice to get a little extra motivation or a bit of a boost from others' enjoyment.)
its only 8.30 and im so sleepy. i want to take a nap but that will fuck with my sleep at night ugh
I'm going to bed asap. I'm trying to fight it but I'm losing.
What are the best hot cross buns that money can buy? I'm enjoying this brioche choc chip variety from Woolies but thinking there must be better.
Probably Bakers Delight because they're baked fresh that morning.
I second these. And third.. and fourth and fifth. And I’d really better stop because my pants are getting tight
A few days ago, I made a sandwich out of hot cross bun and rotisserie chicken.
Cannibal Creek Bakehouse in Garfield. Just a short Vline trip for the Melbournites. Wood fired brioche buns are to die for.
I’ve had some damn nice ones at gourmet bakeries, but there’s none near me and also expensive for regular consumption. If it’s between Coles, Woolies and Bakers delight, Bakers is the best for sure.
I like the standard fruit and also choc chip. I’m not a puritan and occasionally try the other flavours. If you are feeling exceptionally brave I saw pizza shapes flavoured buns at the supermarket. It’s gone too far. Why. Just why.
So tonight I ran into 'Abbey', a randomly lost presumably senile border collie on the dog beach path. I went for a swim and it was still there on the way back devoid of an owner.
She was happily reunited with her human thanks to a lovely lady who had her phone with her called the number on the tag.
There are good people out there.
That's good to hear.
How hard is it to hook up an RSS feed to Lemmy? I was thinking we could do with the deal feed from Ozbargin on here
I don't know, but if you figure it out, I'd be interested in seeing if I could get a product recall one setup
It might be a fun little project to figure out when I have a moment. An actual public service bot doing product recalls would be useful
should probably take the bins soon
Just finished listening to World war Z audio book, really enjoyed it. It’s nothing like the movie. Each chapter is told as an interview with someone who survived the zombie war and what part they played in it. Different voice actors throughout really added to it.
I print read it, but agree there was little resemblance to the film. Not that there is in a vast majority of cases
Have listened to it a couple times, definitely enjoyed, but yeh nothing like the movie. Movie was basically just like.. leveraging the books success to sell better, nothing else
I've got a bunch of books to listen to and am trying to get them on my phone so I can listen on the tram and bus.
damn, old phone so old it won't install apps time for new phone
the mozzies are out :scritch: :scritch:
I have the most refreshing cross-breeze coming through my place right now. Getting rid of all of that stagnant inside heat.
It's got a little bite to it that breeze
Why do companies always go too-fancy when catering for corporate things? I'm not impressed by your ridiculous food which I'd never order.
I FLIPPIN hate this! Give me a party pie or a sausageroll ffs.
Us worker drones can sometimes get the high-class leftovers at least...
I'm watching a cute small movie with Kelsey Grammer, Like Father. It's a nice movie. :)
But he'll always be Blinky to me. 🥹

I thank my efforts for the cloudy and windy day
Have washed only some of my windows - so the rain will come later today.
Currently planning my fortnight shopping and what I'd like to eat. I think I might go chicken wings seasoned with something for a few days. Going to buy at least 3kg-4kg so I hope it lasts me for awhile.
Just the thought of crispy air fried wings is making me hungry.
When I buy wings, I separate the tips, wingettes and drumettes and freeze them in portions. The tips can be made into stock for when I have some nearly expired vegies.
back was twinging a little so I'm just resting today
