Bot needs more coffee to stay awake long enough to post a thread. ☕
I miss living in Melbourne. And there is so much more options for my little one. If (and when) I finish my education degree I'm going to seriously consider moving back. At least working in school I might avoid the ridiculous travel times like I had when I had to work in the city.
Haha, were in opposites here. My MIL is DESPERATE for us to sell and move to Launceston. And TBH, if I could find work it'd be a tempting proposition. I don't know why I life in Melbourne any more. Its great till you have to deal with the people. Heck even Drouin/Warragul is more tempting at this point.
@danwritesbooks @Thornburywitch where are you? I moved to La Trobe Valley a year ago and love it (though I still am back in the city every second week for work) and hope the local school stays open (heard rumours it might close) though once child is high school age will consider moving back for 5 years.
Every fibre of my being wishes today was Saturday...
E: also, holy COW the Medicare safety net is amazing. 475 psychiatrist appt, would've been ~265 out of pocket with the normal rebate. Today the full safety net rebate came through - I've paid $46 out of pocket for a 90 minute consult. That's less than 10% of the total fee. Awesome.
The burgers are better at my house.
Image: A beef patty with special sauce, 2 slices of cheese, Asian slaw, kimchi, on a brioche bun with a side of onion rings and chips. Beer not pictured. It was delicious.
Cheers everybody 🍻
You have the basket things. Fancy.
Hahaha. Yeah I had to have them when I saw them for 2 bucks each at Coles one day :)
Nom!
This has inspired me....
Beautiful.
We need a Rate My Plate community.
Show me a piece of toast and I'll still give it 5/5
Just a small note. You are all ball-breakers. I will do both onion rings and chips. Happy now.
hot dog 🌭
You are 24 hours too late. Had them yesterday.
Pics or it didn't happen? 🤣
Enjoy!
Oh it's happening alright. Will provide pics.
Yes.
I didn’t think you’d cave to peer pressure!
Both is good though. Enjoy!!
I don't normally. I put it to the vote because I knew in my heart I should do both but didn't really want to.
I have just spent way too long comparing electricity plans now that my Lumo contract is about to run out. Looks like I'll be moving from Lumo to Sumo for power, and to Alinta for gas. I hate that we have to contantly be doing this to get a decent price, and it sucks that the people who can't have to pay more. Why do we allow people who can't constantly stay on top of this sort of thing to be taken advantage of? It might be popular to call it a "lazy tax" but it is really an extra cost burden on the vulnerable.
Im currently jumping NBN provider every 6 months to get the best deal. its crazy, when you call them at the end of the 6 month deal they go "Oh we cant possibly match the price we've already been giving you!", ok well, someone else will so like, byeeeeee.
I'll be doing the same. But even Sumos daily access charges are ouch. Nearly 40 cents more a day than the Lumo plan.
yep, $475 a year just to have the electricity connected. The impact of time of use pricing is interesting too - I save a few hundred dollars a year by having time of use instead of a flat rate. One with demand pricing - time of use, plus more expensive over summer - was also a close one. I might revisit the idea after summer, it could be worth changing to it for winter but if we have a hot summer and I use more air conditioning it would be expensive.
Are you me? I got the email from Lumo last week saying my current rates will go up in August.. spent the morning trying to compare different ones and signed up to AGL as they offer the cheapest 😳
I think a lot of people changed to them just before the last major increase. They were cheaper and they locked the price until August - although at the time I was more concerned about the gas increasing.
My dumbass old neighbour decided to mow his lawn...the wind knocked him over cause he's old...I actually went out to help him up (felt bad for a minute)...he started cursing the greens for convincing people climate change is real.
Stay well old mate. Stay well.
Lol... old mate uses a two-stroke no doubt. That is so damn close to the meme where the dude on the bike shoves a stick into his spokes and sends himself flying only to blame someone is.
It's about 20 years old and louder than fucking tractor. He'll also keep it running while he walks away from it (the warm start is absolutely cooked on it). I'm tempted to sneak out and turn it off when he does it, so he spends 30 minutes swearing while it cools down.
Tonight I watched A Man Called Otto and even though I read the book and knew what it was about, I still cried through the movie. And. I. Never. Cry. At. Movies. Ever. It's not even a true story for goodness sakes. Pull yourself together old girl.
Is that the one about the guy who drives the school bus in Springfield?
His name it Otto, he likes to get blotto.
Heartbreaking story?
Hey lovely peoples. I'm just lying on the couch, waiting for a nap to come along while scrolling through job listings. My brain is mush and I've dealt with my fair share of nonsense this week. Just thought I'd say tgif - from my couch to your couch.
hey
heyhey
From my couch to your couch rest up now cos you deserve it.
I have made it as far as the train. To work I go
Hi-ho, hi-ho.
Decided to go in to work today so I can give myself an early finish to go shopping. Someone had just freshly hit massive deer, easily a 400kg male (the deer not the person who hit it) poor thing.
I always thought that hitting a deer or moose is something only seen in Canada. TIL.
On another note, I've never seen a deer in my 8 years in Melbourne. But I've seen deer in Indonesia.
They are a big issue up in the hills! We also see a lot of other hit wildlife, sadly a lot of wombats too.
They’re an invasive species, added by people who wanted to hunt them and surprise surprise we now have an issue.
Good job Thornburywitch!
You can always count on a Witch to save the day when the Bot has been tricked by the mischievous Cat again...
Giant froggo with lemon for size. Sorry no banana. Sorry not sorry this is dinner.
Met up a friend for a mutual birthday lunch (between hers and mine) after missing the last three years - first two lockdowns happened just after hers, last year I didn't feel like going out and celebrating anything.
The cross stitch pressie was a success. \0/Poor Botbot didn't make it tonight
No thread automated at midnight
A few witnesses to its plight
Its code Raven will have to fight
Check it out, make it tightSomething something something I'm tired the end
Poor Botbot tried hard,
It fought the good fight,
But something went wrong,
The code wasn't rightThe culprit was json,
He ran Botbot ragged,
With the constant refrain,
"Response is invalid"
Rate my dinner
Presentation: 8/10 (the contrasting angle of the bench, board and pizza work well, but the spacing of the beer glass is wrong)
Toppings: 8/10 (I can't give you 10 as I can't identify all of the toppings)
Roundness: 7/10 (I estimate 70% roundness)Total score: 23/10 looks great, I hope you enjoyed it!
T'was indeed good
Here we go. Looks like artichoke, tomato, cheese mushrooms and Spanish black olives. (Uneven spray of olives, base looks a little rough, minus anchovies. I'll have to deduct a point) 4/5 yum yums. Well done. 👍
I give that pizza 10/10 , or, if there were pizzas in the Shire and served at the Green Dragon 5 out of 5 hobbits. It looks like a perfect blend of toppings and the crust is perfect right to the centre of the pizza.
I thank yee
Guess who asked the bar guy to be her silly goose?
:)
Username not gonna check out for much longer.
Oh I hope that's the case!!
Things are starting to get a bit serious with you two. When are you going to bring him 'round and introduce him?
That's scary but soon I hope, if it continues to go well.
Was it me?

HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING
yesssssssssssssss ooooo this makes me so excited for you!! ahhhh!
Eeeeeeee
What a week. Spent the first half barely being able to walk because of a painful small toe. After many footbaths and pedis , after much research on why I have found the shoes that were the culprit, a pair of sandals with a ridge next to the toe and also socks that were too tight. It's not the high heels! Also a sore boob. I had a bra disaster when I ran for a tram. Was badly bruised from a pinch and tore my underboob. Had to use savlon and dressings for a week. Hay fever can go in the bin. Bill Cat decides he hates his new cat litter and starts having accidents. Culminates in defiantly spraying!! He has his fave litter now but I'm still in trouble and he has made himself sore. Now I have to use the carpet cleaner machine, which Bill Cat hates. 🤷♀️
PSA: People with split systems in their house/apartment, get it cleaned! I didn’t for 5 years or so and it was running badly and randomly had black dusty bits blow out. Yeah, those bits were mould! I paid a place $129 and they cleaned the whole thing out and now it’s working perfectly. This is what came out of it after a chemical spray and then a pressure water wash. That bottle is 2 foot high and they even emptied it and did another quarter of a bottle drainage:
I’m surprised I’m not dead or really sick from all that shit in there.
Ew. That could pass as Coca-Cola, bong water or even Guinness
Yep, it’s disgusting. I’m happy to pay that amount every year since my working from home desk it directly below it. Also, totally claiming it on tax as a work expense.
Thanks! that's in the diary for tomorrow's clean up day
PSA re the Vic energy comparison website:
Make sure you tick the boxes to include all plans, not just the single tarrif plans. The time of use plans might be cheaper for you, but you won't see them with the settings it defaults to.
The settings are in the sidebar
Good tip! Although Sumo still came out on top!
They are known for putting their hardship customers on their wall of shame..
"Hi, here's more info please sign up with us"
"I can't be bothered, please just call me"
WHY DO PEOPLE PREFER CALLS? Like I get that it's easier to explain and understand people via phone calls, but as someone who is hard of hearing and has anxiety I hate it.
Like the information is there, why do you need me to call you? I don't want to. Bugger off.
Bye Bye Phillip Lowe. Dont let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. To be clear, I dont blame him for the economic problems, I blame him for being not particularly bright around messaging and not even slightly PR savvy.
Looks like we got Michele Bullock. Is that much of an improvement or going to make a difference?
If we got the other Bullock maybe we'd have a situation where they can't let inflation go above 5% or the country would explode.
One or both of the cats chewed my keyboard cable through. I semi fixed it but just went and bought a cheap bluetooth keyboard. I was out for many hours and they were bored. They are not fooled by the birds youtubes anymore. This mean I'm finally going to have to put all cables in under rugs and gaff others plus put the mouse away when I go out. The kitten got himself locked in the closet for a little while and mumma was scratching at the door. She's so protective and knows how to communicate with me through her movements. It's pretty special. Two months with the little darlings and I'm loving them very much at this stage. Crazy cat lady I'm becoming. New work is better than expected and I can leave it at work.
Still haven't heard confirmation from my old manager which is par for the course. Just terrible at communication, but always a fucking know it all. I'll escalate it to his group manager on Monday, if not. He'll have had all weekend by then. Stupid cunt. Most spineless piece of shit I've ever had the displeasure of working with. Sleazy, lazy and badly trained. Nuff said. I've decided I will got through with some further action against them as well but I'm not sure exactly what, work safe wil be called first anyway. Artists don't have a very good union but I have no desire to let them get away with the bullshit they get away and the constant sexual harrassment of staff is just fucking disgusting and I've always spoken out about it but no one else has. Everyone sat in my car talking about how bad it was, then did the same thing when it suited them or they were intox on booze and whatever other drugs they could find on the floor. Resentful it turns out I still am.
The only decision I have to make tonight is whether to wear my cute new little denim skirt over my leggings to the aa meeting or not. Tough call.
This place is soothing though and putting it down in writing is therapy indeed.
Again, thanks to all you good humans for endless words of support over the last year. Its been a challenging and rewarding year and I'm so glad I've had people I don't know all that well to journal with. You all rock and I wish we could all be in a room together right now so I could cry and tell you how much I've grown to love you all in person individually.
Congratulations on your sobriety :) May I ask you something? How has AA been for you? I've gone to NA meetings and they are a complete shit show. Just really, really toxic people and I don't want to be around them. I'm not interested in being a crab pulled into a bucket.
Was thinking of going to an AA meeting and just sitting and listening.AA from my experience has been super friendly and accepting. YMMV. Try a couple of local meetings. No judgements or dogmatic approaches. Listening to others is a great way to learn about it.
So actors are on strike. Fran Drescher had a really passionate speech that had me in tears.
Hard to feel sorry for Actors in this cost of living crisis. I know its more about the writers, and TBH larger issues in general. but this is capitalism. Its a system BUILT to exploit workers. They all profited so well for so long and NOW they care about the little guy? NOW they say this system isnt fair? Late is better than never, but again... come crying to me when you have a mortgage go up by 700 bucks in 12 months. EDIT: I will say she is VERY well spoken on the issue.
The SAG is more than just the big-name celebs that come to mind when we think of "actors/actresses". It also covers all the extras and up-and-coming talent who aren't powerful enough to have negotiating power. One of the causes behind the strike are the parasites wanting to pay extras a day's work ($187) to come in and get a full body scan done so they can continue to use their likeness in perpetuity.
So they're organising boycotts and funding more union movements too right?
[Anakin Skywalker face]
In all seriousness, basically the strike stops actors from promoting their work as well as just not working. So They can't be in press junkets, they can't even go to San Diego Comic Con next week, and they can't promote whatever thing they're in on their social media account.
Mr Woof has a dog bed on one of the armchairs, and he really enjoys scratching around, getting under it, then tossing it onto the floor. Tonight he is having the best of both worlds. He pushed it half off, and is snoozing on the edge of the bit left on the chair. He is looking a touch cozy.
cozy Mr Woof
Image: small fluffy white dog with brown spots curled up sleeping on the edge of a dog bed which is half pushed off an armchair. The weirdo.
Everytime I see a picture of Mr Woof, he just looks increasingly tribble-like lol I love him 😍
5 bottles of tomato sauce made, 16 home made chicken sausage rolls in the oven , vacuuming done, spot cleaning of carpet done, kitchen floor clean, one load dishes done, one load washing done and put away, cat litter room clean, chili plants watered, tail sewn back on Bill's toy mouse, Still have some sorting of clothes to do and hope to get in an hour of calligraphy after I clean the kitchen 😵
Home made sausage rolls are the best and I'll fight anyone over it.
they are made of good ingredients and taste yum :)
Wow. Someone’s been productive today.
While here’s me sitting in bed after a shower.
Didn't end up going out, because we couldn't be bothered braving the cold to go to Footscray haha. Stayed in, about to crack another bottle of wine, and listening to my everthing playlist. The cat is warm and lovely, very pleased we stayed home. He's so chatty, yelled at me to pick him up and just hold him.
I don't mind showing my face, (image description: tabby/white cat lying on my face - dont mind my kitchen behind me)
spoiler
Aww what a cute cat.
I really miss having cats around to cuddle up to. They are the best thing ever and so soothing.
I just hard-core danced to Personal Jesus oooo I'm gonna be sore tomorrow.
Your cat is so snuggely wugglely. My dog is just hanging around for food.
As he has aged, he's gotten more snuggley. I try to play with him, his toys, etc, but he just wants to be held, and for me to shut up. If I'm talking while he's on me, he gets pissy lol.
Such a great song!! It's such a banger!!
I've been yelling along to Heart it Races lol - I wish they were still together making music, one of my fav aussie bands
I'm making hamburgers tonight. Do I do chips or onion rings?
Ok let me clarify. It will be an Asian inspired burger with Asian slaw and kimchi and of course cheese a bit like this.
hamburger.
Yes
This is the only answer.
Oh and make sure there's Bacon.
Why not both? :D
Too much stuffing around with both in the airfryer.
Onions on burger chips next to it. I hope there will be beetroot and pineapple.
I hope there will be beetroot and pineapple.
This is the way.
Onion rings!
Both chips & onion rings
Oh, in that case powdered kaffir lime on chippies
Everyone is cooking such lovely things.. my foot is still knackered, I've had about 4 hours sleep, and I've decided I'm just not cooking. Today is a rest day in my program, and thank goodness too. I made some beautiful lasagna sheets for the factory yesterday which I've converted into a very tasty lasagna today. Then I peeled 30kg of potatoes which I was asked for during the afternoon (! Normally we sort out everyone's production schedule for the day in the morning so we know where we're at and what we're doing; it helps each individual apportion their efforts accordingly). It's Fat Arse/Fast Food Friday here and the children have chosen McDonald's. May the lord have mercy on my soul. And my arse. I still intend to do my tummy exercises. I really do.
Not everyone is cooking. Friday night pizza for me. Bit of a ritual now.
If it helps you feel any get better on the cooking front, I made homemade chevaps that have unfortunately turned like looking like logs of poo.
I’m onboard with that idea of not cooking.
It’s ok every once in awhile and pretty lucky the kids are going with it too!
You must be sick of potatoes now though, 30kg worth an insane amount!
Sesame beef stir fry for dinner
The styling and balance of colours is awesome. Also, I think I have the same stable table as you .
I think the stable tables are fairly standard. This one is my lucky table - I was on the way home from an unsucessful shopping trip to buy one when I stopped in at the op shop and found this one for $5.
your dinners are so photogenic 😍
Simply Marvellous.
This looks incredible. Baby corns too!
A pantry staple. You never know when you are going to need some extra yellow in a dish, so it's best to always have a spare tin of baby corn in the cupboard.
I left the cat on his own overnight because I had to go away for work, and I've come back to a pathetic little limping paw. I suspect he's suffering from you-left-me-to-starve-itis. Poor baby.
Join the bad owners club. I too am in trouble. Apparently I screwed up big time by changing the kind of cat litter and for not giving fresh chicken and steak on demand. Bill Cat yells meows , ( translation ) "I've got a lot of problems with you people."
Veeeerrrrrryyyy slow day at work today. On the plus side, I'm getting pretty good at snake.io.
I wish the end of the day came, only 2 hours to go!
Edit.. seems the name of the game automatically gets changed to a link. Ididnotmeanthat.io
I was having a beautiful sleep until Mr Peeler woke me up stuffing around in the kitchen. He was trying to be quiet, unsuccessfully as it turns out. Now I've been awake for 2 hours. Fuck I hate living in a small place. Also I wake up easily. I'll tell myself, at least you're resting, that'll have to do.
Earplugs. My house has the master bedroom sharing a wall with the kitchen. Dumbest plan ever.
Mr. Omoikiri and I are heading away on a mini break for his 30th this Sunday and are back on the Monday. The intention was to get the exegesis portion of my PhD sorted and finished by tomorrow night. The plan was to get the intro, chapters 1, 2 and 3 done tonight and do chapters 4 and the conclusion tomorrow. I have been working since 7am and just started on chapter 2. I am already half way to losing my mind. I reckon I’ve got another 5 hours of work tonight, alone.
Do you think some gin will help or hinder me right now? 🤔
A walk might work better.
Many many years ago my first genuine full time job application took 24hr and a bottle of vodka to write. Yes, I got it. Extrapolate at will.
The way I see it, only good can come from this
I find that under similar circumstances one or two drinks kinda helps, but more than that means I have to redo the work next day
Yes, I’m having 1-2 with dinner and dessert and then I’m gonna out my hair up in a study bun and get this shit done
Ah yes, the Ballmer Peak
I guess the one benefit of venturing off the mountain and into work is Haigh's. I have purchased the bf a gift that I shall help myself to. Hello super frog.
Could you grab me some of the milk chocolate peppermint frogs, while you’re at it?
They are so good, of course. Today is just the milk chocolate froggo for me but the peppermint frogs are on par.
Anyone noticed that the texture of potato chips have gone funny? I feel like they are now thicker and it's like they aren't just potato slices being fried but had something else mixed in?
P.s. I'm still on the couch.
How long have you been on the couch?
According to the timestamp about an hour or so
Which brand of potato chips?
I’ve heard some talk of kettle chips being super expensive and if lower quality these days.
It's the 'Thins' ones
I think today needs a to do list so I can make the most of it. If I get everything essential done today I can have a free day tomorrow before I go back to work on Sunday, well worth planning for.
Roast coffee 3/3 ✔️✔️✔️
Study - Housing, spreadsheets & documents
Vacuum/tidy house
Lift heavy things ✔️
Plantwater some seedlings. Weather's awful, I ain't planting anything today! ✔️
Make a banana cake (optional extra if I have time!!!I feel like there is something else I have forgotten in there, maybe I should add "remember forgotten task" to the list.
Not sure if many people are still into it but it's a big night in the crypto world. Haven't had a night like this for a long time.. without going into the nuts and bolts, there has been a lengthy court case going on and the summary judgement is finally in, and it's good news for XRP 🚀
Haven’t had a night like this for a long time
You're right. Must be a nice change from all the arrests, legal action, liquidation, theft, scams, waste, bankruptcies, loss, fraud and hypocrisy that defines the crypto world for the other 364 days a year.
Yep, unlike every other open market on the planet where none of that stuff happens
Since we are posting dinners, here is mine. It’s takeaway veg choila. I have no idea what that is (apart from being soy-based veggo), but thought I’d take a walk on the wild side and order something different for a change. It’s yum, nice and spicy, and I’ve worked out the granular bits are rice flakes.
Photo of small dumplings, rice flakes and vegLooks bomb
Anything with dumplings in it is a winner!
Afternoon spent at a clink for mein liebe, the issue we got sorted out. Feeling tired now, but apparently there is a birthday party tonight in the inner-west that we were last minute invited to (ex-coworkers surprise party, with their gf organising but she's never met us). Been so social I'm running out of energy lol
Cbf cooking tonight. So it's the last of the pumpkin & fetta bread (Piedmonte's) lavishly spread with butter and soft blue cheese, a roquette and tomato salad on the side and a glass of wine. No pics as I ate it all before I remembered to take any. Looked nice though. Does anyone else find spelling rocket as roquette impossibly twee?
Sounds amazing!
Am exhausted and have crawled into bed.
The cats are puzzled as I've been later most of this week, between the cross stitch and Zooks parking herself on me about this time of night for a snuggle and snooze.Seagoon's Friday night movie review. The First Man. Biography of Neil Armstrong.
I love this movie for the way it has rewritten the narrative of the first man to walk on the moon. For the first time in a movie it shows an astronaut as being an experienced intelligent, active pilot of a space vehicle, not just some person who relies on the engineers and mission control to get him there and back. Not just a warm body that could be replaced by a monkey.
And brave, so brave, even under terrifying and deadly situations he keeps his cool, uses his experience and intelligence and keeps trying.
4.5 hobbits
The First Man is one of my fav films, have it on bluray. I just love the characterisation, and the effects! That first sequence had my heart pumping and it just never really stopped. Im glad you enjoyed it!!
That first scene where he figures out that to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere he had to use a wing as a blade , to present as small a surface area as possible, that showed Armstrong's deep understanding of his task and his brilliance. I loved that so much. And him using those small jets to orient the plane was echoed in the Gemini spin, and the way he never gave up trying to stop the spin, incredible fortitude. I haven't looked it up yet, was he flying an X2 in the first scene? It was an X-15 :) https://airandspace.si.edu/stories/editorial/neil-armstrong-and-x-15. It's a rocket with wings, not a jet.
( I'm a bit a space fan, not a huge one but a deep enough interest to have flown to Florida from Europe just to visit Cape Canaveral. :) )

I sadly might have to put the Herring on hold, just had to pay for my partner's expected medical expense today so I might have to rethink any extras I was planning to purchase for awhile :(
Oh no! I hope they're okay 😟 herring will be waiting for you whenever you're ready
The Herring will await your convenience. Dunno about the halibut though.

i thought gods can fly
Nah. I occasionally waft about though.
Finally finished Arkham Origins after god knows how many years of owning the game. I adore the Arkham series and have 100% (or 120%) every other game multiple times but I could just never get into Origins enough to play it through. Done now though! Still have the collectables and DLC content to go through but that can be another day.
Now I don't know what to do with the rest of my weekend... hmm
Hmm any other unfinished games?
I was thinking of Detriot Become Human.
Oh yeah I have a bunch of others I've started. I need to get away from my computer chair though I think. Might think about going for an adventure.
I actually bought and finished Detroit Become Human back when it came out. Pretty rare that I'd do that, especially back then because I didn't play many games then. Only really started playing more when I upgraded my GPU on my PC to edit drone footage.
There's something I haven't done for a while.. taken the drone out. Not sure how wimdy it'll be across the state this weekend though.
Arkham Knight annoyed me the most because of all the driving. Origins was fine, but Asylum was great and City was the best by far.
Hey can someone help me out with this cunt. I don't even know what this is about.
an absolute fuck knuckle
that's weird I haven't had spam here yet but the spam and bots on reddit is getting bad
I can’t figure it out. Looks like a random outburst to me.
Can you block said person?
Same fuck knuckle sent a cunty all caps reply to one of my comments too. Some idiot troll I suppose. Or maybe they are not mentally well. Either way, good reminder that even though DT people are nice in, you never know who is silently reading it all. Stay safe and never reveal anything that could ID you in real life.
I'd love to go this cunt. I'm good cheers mate. Thanks for letting me now.
I just got here and saw this.. I got tagged in something? Interesting. I don't have any notifications!
Yeah I don't know what the cunts problem is.

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit
One more time 🎶Waiting on a work call from London before I can sign off for the week. I said 6pm Mel / 9am London. A Friday night work call is bad enough, now they're late. They've got until 6:15pm, then my working week is over. Too bad.
Damn Europe and their time zones. I prefer meeting with my US east coast colleagues vs Europe as it’s 7am but i got up at 6am today and just fired up the laptop before a shower and finished at 2pm today!
There's a YouTuber/writer I really like, I subscribed to her Patreon for a bit when we were getting the 1k a fortnight from Centrelink. She had like a monthly live discussion thing. Sometimes it was to talk about stuff, or it's coworking on things etc. However she lives in like England or Ireland and it was always at like their nighttime so thus it'd be like 5am - 7am and yeah no I'm not doing that. I had to end my support just because I wasn't using the benefits of what I was paying.

Lordy today has been a long, intense, mad day. I'm just about ready to delete my brain. So many fires to put out. Oh and somehow the confidential chat I had with my senior colleague somehow turned out to be not so confidential and there's a long waffly email from my boss sent at 5pm on the dot that I'm not even going to bother looking at until Monday.
Only got back 20 minutes ago after yet more driving - thankfully much easier at night and with a full belly and a box of leftovers after serendipitously visiting a not particularly close auntie (I will never be too old to appreciate being sent home with a food packet like I'm still a broke uni student). And I got almost all my errands done.
And because I've been so behind on everything and these site visits were much more complicated than I thought, I need to work on Sunday AGAIN to get urgent deliverables across on Monday. Stg I'm going to be liberal with my timesheet so I can take next Friday off
Been one of those weeks hey!
Eep. I hope it’s not too much longer that you have to put up with that crap at work. Having trust broken is probably one the last straws when it gets back to the boss, assuming that’s what the email is about.
Sounds like you’ve had a very long day if you’ve only just gotten back home now but getting leftovers from dinner is always a treat!
Do what you need to do and if you can get away with the liberty that you’ve mentioned to free yourself up on Friday then do it! You really need deserve some time off from work.
Sounds gross...definitely get some time off and self care soon!
*gives you virtual hugs*
Amazing!!!
I don’t know what I want for dinner
the chocolate frog looks good

After some encouragement I proudly present to you Kippers!
2 different tins of Kippers!

Could we have kippers for breakfast mummy dear mummy dear
They gotta have 'em in Texas cos everyone's a millionaire 🎶if smeggie were here she would be punning "smoke me a kipper" everywhere
You can have them dear daughter dear daughter.
You can have them for breakfast, lunch or tea. 🎶
Omg enjoy!!
Go the Brunswicks. Very nice indeed. For kippers.
Okay as much as I love the infrastructure upgrades to Melbourne, some small things have been ticking me off about it.
-
Multiple occasions where the the west gate bridge says two lanes have been blocked and to go 40km/h only to find out at the end that no work was being done at the bridge at that time (zero signs of any relevant vehicles)
-
Yesterday Williamstown rd inbound was blocked, google maps said it wasn't. Tiny detour sign to say take Grieve parade to come around. Millers rd (before Grieve parade) was actually open as a detour but no mention. Also zero detour signs before you hit Grieve parade exit. I suspect an uncountable number of drivers would have made a mistake there
-
Planning is unclear on PTV app with all the bus replacements, showing you train data on lines that aren't running. Google maps isn't any better either, giving you false information on what trains lines/stops actually available
This on top of an exhausting day was the cherry on top
How about paying 5 bucks for PT ina cost of living crisis?

I'm still full from dinner but somehow I've got cheese and olives on my mind. Mmmm
If the question is cheese, the answer is always yes.
I take no responsibility for the olives
Should I tag the cunt? Or leave it?
I say leave it.
Don’t fall for their tricks of baiting and provoking you and be antagonised by them any further.
Ok I'll leave it. Promise and I rarely make promises.
There are 5000 people in Letterkenny. These are their problems.
DUN DUN
You're 10 ply bud!!
Straight up I watch it with subtitle and relate to most of it.
Cheap smokes from natives is a very blue collar Canadian thing.
First nations people don't pay tax, so you can buy smokes and booze at reserves for like 25% of normal cost. Locally procured gear only.
If you're part of a tribe it's even cheaper.
Some tribes require blood proof. Other tribes require $20 per year for a membership.
I may or not have been a first Nation member for a few nations despite being a honkey cracker
Pad see ewwwww
Lunch has been a modest success
Hey @[email protected] surely it's cheaper to break a bedroom door down than calling a locksmith. PC (poor cunt) on r/Melbourne has locked himself in his room.
Will bot #001 make it tonight. Place your bets people..
