Melbourne

Alright off to the interview. My gut feeling is I probably don't have enough technical skill for the role, despite it being a management role with very little technical work assigned.

But it has got me into the habit of studying daily.

But, the practice is always worth it!

So I think it went ok. I almost accidentally said my non Aussie name lol

But otherwise I did the best I could. It was with 3 people. The tech side wasn't as intense as I thought. They were happy with what I knew how to do in AD.

Still going to continue studying AD and then Azure just to get my skills up regardless.

Hmm

^___^

Just a had a hookup steal from me on his way out the door.

It was just a sample size moisturiser that was near my bathroom sink (and I have a full-size bottle of it in the bathroom cabinet...) but, still, what is wrong with people? 🙄

So i just posted a story. it didn't seem appropriate for the DT so I just put it to Melbourne. If you go camping at all, I urge you to read it. Learn from my mistakes. Cause as of last week i would of told you what happened was impossible and I was in no way dumb enough to fuck up THAT badly.

bloody hell, I've been resting in bed to heal my back, minute I get up Ted jumps on my pillow and snuggles in. 😡🤣

I always get so nervous when having my MC appointment, but it's never bad. In fact, it's always a positive experience. My clinic are just amazing, kind people.

Perhaps it's because it stills feels illegal, even though I'm TGA approved.

It helps so damn much with my CPTSD symptoms, especially reducing the frequency of night terrors/nightmares. I feel lucky that it works for me. I still have bad days, but chalk that up to the brain damage CPTSD does, but overall, much better than when I wasn't on this medication.

In the movie “As good as it gets”, Melvin pays for a doctor for Carols kid. I’d like to be rich enough to pay for a doctor who listens to me about my health problems and helps find actual solutions.

The “sorry can’t help, ” stuff from lazy doctors who don’t care is just bullshit. (Private and bulk bill). Worse is the “never seen that before” don’t know from specialists.

I just want some sleep without my nose blocking up and leaving me with headaches, constant exhaustion etc. let alone the other disabling, life fucking up stuff. But I look fine on the outside.

Was wide awake until almost 4am and completely forgot an electrician was coming to fix my flickering downlights at 8:30am. He arrived 3 minutes early (my alarm goes off at 8:30am) and it scared the shit out of me. My door buzzer thing (it's more of a ringing than a buzz) very rarely goes off these days so I spent a good 20 seconds wondering what the hell the sound was.

All sorted now though. No more strobe party lights in my kitchen.

Went to the farm in Bundoora Park yesterday. It's a great little spot. The boys loved seeing the donkeys and sheep.

We got rained out because we weren't prepared but it was probably enough for the boys anyway.

And tell you what, you can tell the place is run by the council because the food is so cheap. I'd go there for lunch all the time if I lived nearby.

I also thought people were bringing happy meals from the McDonald's down the road, but their kids meals have their own little cardboard box.

Update: the Mercedes parked in the 5-minute zone was gone this morning. It was still there yesterday afternoon. I don't know whether they finally returned or whether it was eventually towed.

I guess some things will just forever be a mystery.

Just loaded up my phone with a bunch of new audiobooks which I obtained completely legally and would never dream of getting from torrents. Looking forward to getting stuck into a new story.

Getting a bit sick of going over to the p's place and half the conversation is about them feeling cold. Tonight was 6 times. Their place is at 23c.

I've tried to explain layering with light clothes, doing some light activity a few times a day when they feel it, thermals...

I understand it becomes hard to regulate temp. at that age which is why layering is a good one. Gets a bit hot, take one off.. not doing it for you put it back on rinse and repeat.

They've been on so many trips to cold places over the years and they're swimming in warm clothing, but they just.. don't.

It's like complaining about being rained on when you're holding an expensive unopened umbrella.

Frustrating.

Good night every one. 😽

I have written 70 words of a 2000 word assignment. It's due tonight. I am planning to submit it Wednesday by the latest.

It's such a struggle. It's hard to read and understand stuff. I feel super incapable but I wanna get it done so I can prove to myself that I could do it.

Gotta love people on social media who are told by multiple people that they are basically wrong in what they are saying and just double down and start insulting everyone. Not a great character trait.

Ugh I just want to strangle Microsoft sometimes. I'm constantly getting annoying notifications for shit I don't care about, but the one time I get an important email they decide to just not bother sending the notification 😐

I thought that perhaps I was not paying attention and dismissed the notification, but my phone logs 24 hours of notifications and they really never did. Apparently at 8:52am they sent me a notification to say they were optimising the database, so that's nice. As long as I know what background tasks it's doing that's all that matters I suppose 🤦‍♂️

I've decided to finally see if I can plug a leak in my car on the totally wrong day.

Why do I get these weird bursts of inspirations on the worst of days

I always write a big shopping list but when I actually go, I get in there, grab the bare essentials and get the fuck out in record time.

Got a real horrible suspicion Israel has just fired off a shot in the next middle eastern conflict. No evidence, completely wild speculation on my behalf. But after the whole Stuxnet business you'd be crazy to underestimate 'em.

Edit: really hope I'm wrong here! just want to say it so that if it turns out this way I can point back to it and go "See! i told you I wasn't crazy!"

Movie review. Plague Goat, aka Get the Goat. A Brazilian parody of Beverley Hills Cop.

It's weird in a glorious way.

Worth it just to hear The Heat Is On in choro beats

I hate the amount of wax that apples are coated in these days. I used to love biting into an apple, now I prefer to peel them, but then the flavour is not the same, so usually just choose other fruits instead. Can we start a campaign to Unwax the Apple.
