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 ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It might be worth having a little air or foam mattress to sleep in a cooler room when itโ€™s 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.

[โ€“] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I can empathise,Iโ€™ve 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 shouldnโ€™t say accident. I should say negligence. People lose their fucking minds during that time.

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 ๐Ÿค— 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.

Maybe that is the solution...

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.

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 ๐Ÿ‘

I wonder if aussie.zone will fall under the proof of age law now.

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I hope it doesnโ€™t. Itโ€™s very likely that Iโ€™ll 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.

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.

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:

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.

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

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! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Anyone getting anything interesting with these BF sales?

I always find itโ€™s never stuff I want or what I want is sold out or doesnโ€™t have that great a discount.

Edit: FML, bye bye $400+ for my flat rear bike tyre.
