Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I got given the news that I am receiving a pay rise and I am absolutely stoked, it made me feel exponentially more valued.
Does that mean you'll be getting (salary)^2^?
Not quite squared but it is still a big(ish) raise for my industry haha
Trying to decide what to wear for work tomorrow, it's not like overly crucial but my brain is empty lol is jeans, and a jumper with a Dickey collar or is it jeans and long shirt with a cardigan or is it my sweater dress with a collar? Halp
I am absolutely the least qualified person to answer this, but I'd go with the shirt and cardi combo. It's going to be another warm-ish day and the cardi is easiest to de-layer.
alright wtf wtaf

Has anyone ever purchased from Catch? If yes, thoughts?
Many many many times. There's two parts - catch themselves, and marketplace. Catch ships insanely fast, and they will rip into any marketplace seller that tries to dodge you.
What how can you tell which is which?
It tells you. Also tells you if the seller is overseas. You can even filter your search results to Catch sold items only.
Yeah what I initially saw was from google search then when I went on the official site I saw what she meant. Unfortunately the item I want is marketed
Still good, i get marketplace stuff all the time. Catch still protects you, they will go after any seller that tries to rip you and forcibly refund no worries.
time to play "are things actually hectic" or "is my brain just trying to make things this way?". I get the sense life is only as hard as you make it, trouble with my anxiety is it LIKES things hard. twists things into problems, forces me to take positions on things. I grew up where everything is a fight, so it tries to make everything a fight. And every now and then I need to stop breath and try untwist the knot my brain has tied itself into,
It's hard, eh? I envy the hell out of people who just seem to go with the flow. That whole "just roll with the punches" kind of person. My brain is constantly trying to play 4D chess in a world that, really, should just be checkers and nothing more. Everything needs a "solution", even if there isn't necessarily a real problem presenting itself in the first place.
It's fucking tiring, man.
Exactly! I feel base line me is actually pretty happy and chill, but me with all the problems is Deffo not.
I'm exhausted from avoiding punches .
My Snag Tights have arrived, super keen to wear one of them tomorrow!
I bought some a few months ago. It is lovely to have them fit in the groin area! And no need for superman style 2nd undies to keep them in place. And they're very soft.
Love love love Snag tights! I always bought tights from Kmart and it's just wild that they're like "if you weigh more... then you must be 200cm tall!".
Ok another post. The birds for cats video is allowing me a lot more typing and gaming time without the need to constantly twirl a pencil or move them gently to somewhere away from the screen and keyboard.
ah yes, cat tv. Squirrels are good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eP8Rr4T3oo&ab_channel=MovieSquirrels
The personal stories where people open up to me at work are amazing. (And the level of trust they put in me when they share it)
Had a man in his 60s talking about how he's working on his mental health for the first time in his life after his divorce and death of a parent.
It's still really raw for him and he still trusted me with his story. I love that I can work in this blue collar environment and have interactions like this.
You come across as a very genuine and caring person, so I’m not surprised that people trust you with their stories.
My boss jokes that I like to rescue all the lost puppies at work.
He might be on the money with that one
