Today's weather forecast (Melbourne CBD, 3000): min - 16ยฐC, max - 22ยฐC. 25% chance of at least 1mm of rain

Emoji inspiration: I call this part of the year (the time between Boxing Day and New Year's Day) the "never-never times" because some things are open, others are closed, some people are working, a lot not, so fuck all gets done, and if you need anything besides food or groceries, you're basically SOL

Happy International Day of Epidemic Preparedness!

Robo vacc is out for delivery! They also haven't put it on extra sale for boxing day (same price as when I bought it on the 23rd), so I don't have to feel the nasty buyer's remorse! But I'm checking the tracking constantly like it's a bloody Santa tracker. Partly because Amazon never knock and I don't want it to be stolen (there's nowhere it can be left out of sight from the street), and also partly because last delivery they onboarded at 7:30 and it was delivered at 8:45. This one was onboarded at 7:06 and still isn't here. Not a whinge, just an observation

Finally got through to the somebody about the smell. She doesn't actually know what to do or who to send. She said she'd try to find out what "the solution" is. I'm fairly sure she's about to tell me light up a candle and fucking up into the roof, or just ignore it and hope it fixed itself in a month or however long it takes ๐Ÿ™ƒ

E: they said they'll send pest control at some unspecified time in the future ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

E2: the unspecified time in the future will, in fact, not be today, because: "It will cost us a fortune". As soon as parcel man comes, I'll hop on the bus and go buy some Glen 20, a portable exorcism kit, and anything else Woolies sells that promises odour removal

Yeah. Most pest control companies can probably do it with a prior heads up. They've already figured that part out though
