Everyone's having a good time ๐
Finally back home now
Well I'm off to sleep for 16 hours, see you all!
Changing my Facebook profile photo to me playing a gig was a great idea for getting into a new band.
Back in Vic now. Was briefly here for a few hours this morning (driving from Pinnaroo, SA, to Balranald, NSW
Energy and patience levels very very low. Only just left Echuca, so still a few hours from home. Probably gonna get back about 9:30. Sure hope past me tidied up before leaving (genuinely don't remember)
Anywho, I sorted out my shop yesterday. Will be delivered tomorrow evening, so I can have a sleep in. Gonna smash some KFC tonight, and might order some lunch in tomorrow. Who wants to cook
Edit: KFC has been smashes. Also remembered that I ordered an ABBA vinyl from Kmart (which they apparently sell for black Thursday or whatever the stupid sale thing is called). I don't have a vinyl player but oh well, I'm a top 0.05% ABBA fan according to Spotify
Whatever I save on rent and gas connection fees at this place I'll definitely be making up for in air-conditioning - despite having the extractor fan on and blinds and windows firmly closed the place is a furnace. I can feel the fire from behind the blinds in this west facing bedroom. It's hotter than it is outside.
Off to have dinner with a friend shortly but I think I'll need to have the AC on timer while I'm out so that I can sleep in this damn place tonight ๐ฎโ๐จ
It might be worth having a little air or foam mattress to sleep in a cooler room when itโs bad. I also would put tinfoil on the sunny side windows.
West facing bedrooms are the worst
FFS someone backed into my car when doing school pick up. Thankfully not much damage and to their credit they hung around to give me their details, but jesus I do not need the headache.
I can empathise,Iโve been hit twice in the past year in the school scrum and one of those accidents took my car out for 6 weeks.
Actually I shouldnโt say accident. I should say negligence. People lose their fucking minds during that time.
Had some beers, had some whiskey, had some weed.
All of you are looking extra good tonight ๐
Just saw some lightning. Had a look on windy.com and there's a big storm heading due south. Has nearly reached Whittlesea.
Morning everyoneeeee ๐ค TGIF.
The weeks are zooming by so fast for me at the moment. I feel like I blink and it's Thursday and then the weekend. Not sure if this is good because I'm not feeling like work is dragging on so long all week, or bad because life is just slipping by quickly
So the solution to being overworked from the general manager is:
Wait for it:
FUCKING TIME MANAGEMENT!!!
because of course im sitting around jerking off all day and not busting my ass the whole time.
I'm out as soon as I have a new offer. I don't want them to match it.
Now they get what they pay for. The pace slows to match the salary.
because of course im sitting around jerking off all day
Maybe that is the solution...
Is there anything more dramatic than a cat whose food bowl is only 95% full?
Boyo just tried to get in the shower with his coffee mug. This does not bode well for incoming meeting with mortgage banker.
Its something in the air. I sat here reading emails thinking "man, teams is quiet today". And it was, because I hadnt even opened it yet.
Title
Missed today's 2pm class. I hate myself.
Thank you for the support these past few weeks, I can catch up via the recording of the class I missed today.
sorry for posting so much, I'll pull back and let others have space to vent
How good is it when you go to a coffee shop and your favourite barista is there so you know you're gonna get a good cuppa. That's a little win today ๐
I'm a bit concerned about following these instructions.
earth and world are the same character/word in Mandarin ๐คทโโ๏ธ
( in the old mandarin I learnt )
Noah, get the boat.
I wonder if aussie.zone will fall under the proof of age law now.
I hope it doesnโt. Itโs very likely that Iโll choose to leave any platform requiring it rather than comply and I like it here
What an utter disappointment this government has been. Absolute reactive, populist nonsense.
No wonder they are rarely in power. Not that the Liberals are any better mind you.
Lawn has been mowed. Meetings ended. Shower and lunch had. Time to tidy up one more thing workwise and the weekend is here.
Also - new Kendrick album slaps
That's enough work for today. Sign off. Going to have a bit of retail therapy before heading home, but I won't last long if it's super crowded at the shops like I think it'll be.
First cicadas of the year are shouting in my front yard. They're bloody loud.
Looks like telstra / bigpond mail is borked since 7am-ish (for outlook at least) for a lot of people.
One of those times when you can throw your hands up and say:
All flights are booked for the end of the year trip. Three flights and I suspect theyโre all going to be very different experiences!
Hehe on top of bigpond / outlook borked now a 4G outage in kew estimated restoration date 6th Dec.
That's me done for today lol.
Can't win them all.
Got back late after work to buy some essentials to last the next fortnight.
Bought some honey ham on special and I found one of those massive meat rolls I ate while ago on clearance for 5 bucks as well.
Debating if I should have it tonight or tomorrow.
Exhausted now and hoping to chill for the rest of three night with some gaming and background movies or shows.
Happy Friday everyone.
A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer and the best cold beer is the one that's been waiting for you in the fridge. Cheers ๐บ
New person coming to meetโฆ house of course is a tip. Iโm still feeling like shite
I know my issues cannot compare to yours, but my abode is also a tip! Partner with untreated ADHD (we're working on the untreated part lol) and me with CPTSD = no executive functions present here ๐
Try not to stress about the state of your home, friend, you are doing your best and that's perfect! We do what we can, when we can, please don't beat yourself up! ๐๐๐๐
Didn't take lunch because I was waiting for something to come through then had a meeting. So I took it now for an early trip home. A nice way to end a Friday
Hey mate you should have a beer about it ๐ป๐บ
Anyone getting anything interesting with these BF sales?
I always find itโs never stuff I want or what I want is sold out or doesnโt have that great a discount.
Edit: FML, bye bye $400+ for my flat rear bike tyre.
ow, just cut the tip of my finger with the new knife, it has set my teeth on edge, just a tiny scrape but ๐ฌ
