Put my phone in the washing machine and it died. Forgot my password here so new account it is. Shitshow start to the week with work laptop 2FA issues and having to re-download and log into everything. Also lost all my contact numbers. Yayyy
Today I went to Bunnings to buy something and I asked the cashier lady how she was.
She was genuinely surprised that I asked and told me barely anyone ever asks how she is.
That made me very sad to hear that, I also wished her a good day too for good measure but to that was how people engage with her at her job makes me sad.
Also I ran after an empty shopping bag that blew out of someone trolley as they were crossing the a road strip with waiting traffic.
Just got a call from my cousin who I'd be spending xmas with, xmas is now significantly scaled down as most of her in laws have made other plans - secretly super relieved it's gone from a 11-person thing to 5, and they're all people I know. Far out I feel like a weight has lifted...
Miss Meow is being very restless this afternoon, which I think means a storm could be on the way. Or maybe she just wants dinner early, it's hard to tell.
I'm so middle age that you know that feeling after you do "the deed" on a hot summers night and you've got that warm physical exhaustion but your feeling pretty stoked that it was a job well done? Yeah, I just got that feeling from mowing the lawn on my lunch break.
What a bunch of fucking weirdos. This has turned from a buffet breakfast to now they want you to perform magic. I don't want anything except for you to have a great day bacon.
Tuesday's just hit like that sometimes. The happy glow of the weekend has worn off and you are staring down the long dark tunnel of the rest of the week without being able to see any light at the end. Once we hit hump day and we can start to see a glimmer of aproaching light people's mental health will start to improve and we should start to see some more normal breakfast orders again.
Flour of England, fruit of Spain
Met together in a shower of rain,
Put in a bag, tied round with string.
If you tell me this riddle I’ll give you a ring.
And some coffee please to wash it down.
after ~2 weeks of sleeping through the night this sudden return to several wake ups a night is BRUTAL. I know he is just teething and it wont last forever, but man I am tired.
Dialling back my insane sleep schedule starting tonight. No more going to bed at 5am... Starting at 2am and working backwards to 9pm.
Also, have been going out the last 3 weeks with friends on the weekend. I'm emboldened to go out by myself this Saturday. I wonder how it'll go. Worth a shot anyway. Like my mate says "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
I have now served the two month waiting period for my new Health Insurance fund, with still no sign of the Clearance Certificate from my old health fund - which they are legally required to provide within two weeks.
I decided in honour of the occasion to send a letter to a few MPs, given that the whole fund seems to be having a meltdown and be unable to actually provide all of its members with the cover they are paying for. The government partially funds and props up the whole system they really should at least try to make sure that the funds are fulfiling their obligations.
I made my special airplane drink (Bailey's & vodka on ice) with the Mint Chocolate Bailey's and it was lovely. It doesn't seem to be very minty or chocolatey though.. very similar to regular Bailey's.
This is almost certain. I also reckon that the best dishes from any cuisine you care to mention are the ones that use up leftovers. eg pizza, shepherds pie
the acting was shit. the characters werent great (Beyond Supergirl). The plot was shit. Disappointing doesn't even begin to cut it. They tackled too tougher story with a character that was unlikeable and hadn't been given anywhere near enough screen time.
Tennis + gym used to occupy so much of my day and now that I can't do both I have so much time. Feels like shit again having so much time and nothing to do. Might as well just keep working I guess 💁♂️
Today will be the third day StarTrack try and "redeliver" my parcel. I've left the front door open, put the downstairs TV on, and turned the porch light on, leaving them no excuse to say I wasn't home. Taking bets on how fruitful I'll be.
No package again, I'm going to fkn scream. I only ordered it online because it wasn't available in-store. I called stupid Startrack and got hung up twice before they told me it'll "probably" come tomorrow. Then the lady said she had lodged another complaint for me and proceeded to give me my previous complaint number insisting that both complaints will be under that one number, double bullshit.
Tempted to be extra annoying and call the company and see if they have anything to say.
I'm in the same boat - only mine is even funnier. Amazon sent me a message yesterday that they couldn't access their own locker and they'd "try again". Not sure when they'll try again, but as of 5pm today it still hasn't been delivered.
Oh God, my housemate just had an issue with them sending a teenie tiny plastic chair instead of the actual thing she ordered. They won't refund the item until the teenie tiny plastic chair has been return either.
You don't really get "locked in", but it can be dark and possibly cramped and noisy especially if you are with a big group. They're not really designed for spectators.
