Just do your best.
Iâm putting a bunch of stuff on a stick and burning it then going for a swim.
This is the most profound thing Iâm doing today.

Starting my new job tomorrow!
But they still havenât informed me of when exactly Iâm meant to start my shit. Will have to call in and chase that up after lunch me thinks.
Cendana@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Your stomach will know when you need to start shitting.
Marsupial@quokk.au âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Haha oops, I must be out of fâs.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thatâs so cool youâve started a new community. You should make a post from !earlychildhood@quokk.au explaining what itâs about (I know pretty self explaining really but you know) and itâll land on the homepage. If itâs just Melbourne based then post it in !melbourne@aussie.zone. Itâll still end up on the home page.
Good luck with your new job tomorrow!
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I think they are running their own instance.
Nath@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
The community is showing up fine for me. There may have been a little bit of a delay if this is the first time aussie.zone users have looked at Quokk.au communities. First-time federation can take a couple of minutes.
Anyway, itâs fine, now. I didnât do anything.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Subscribed. My girlfriend is studying to become an ECT and we have almost a year and a half old twins at home

In this weather? No.

Back from my first day and oh my god Iâm SO tired making an 8am start. Despite hitting the snooze button several times and leaving considerably later than I thought. And everyone else starts at 7 đ”âđ« with plenty of people having longer commutes than me. Iâll get used to it.
I was a bit too out of it today take in everything with it all happening so fast, but it was a good first day. Being at a depot does mean itâs still very testosterone heavy but my team is really friendly and welcoming and open with each other which is awesome.
I am super glad this is just part time though, I so wouldnât have the energy for full time hours in such a high contact role. And Iâd feel suffocated for sure, no matter how good the workplace was
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
got nearly 8 hours of sleep. OH my GOSH its so nice after nearly a week without. I feel amazing!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Oh, please let this be me tonight.
Grackle@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Why is my neighbor out using his leaf blower on a day like this? Heâs losing the fight.
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Maybe he is feeling angry and this is the outlet ? Iâll mow lawns angrily or whipper snip
mysticgreg@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
HA nothing helps me vent like firing up the 2-stroke hedge trimmer and going to town on the front yard.
And THIS IS NOT A EUPHEMISM you perverts đ€Ł
Grackle@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I feel like it would just make me angrier, itâs so windy so thereâs no satisfying clean yard and pile of leaves at the end đ
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Same reason mine is trying to water his trees.
Nothing else to do.
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Adelaide tomorrow! Exciting, but it involves planes đ«€
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
The garage has been carpet bombed with mouse traps.
Eagle@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Is your dog a mouse hunter? Mine is not, she makes friends with them and even shares her food. When I explain the purpose of the JRT breed to her she wags her tail and gives me a head tilt.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
My old dog used to chase them and catch them outside but if they ever came in she would watch them and look at us as if to say âthis one is your problemâ
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Hahaha. Nah. I donât think heâs ever seen one. Theyâre mainly in the garage.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I found squished kraft processed cheese with bacon bits to be irresistible to mice. Check the traps everyday. I once caught dozens of the buggers in my neighbourâs aviary with this method
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Not my jurisdiction. What I can tell you is the traps get washed with soap and loaded up with their own peanut butter. They get checked every day but not by me.
Catfish@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
How would you counteract that combo being irresistible to certain humans?
neurospice@lemmy.dbzer0.com âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Absolutely no rain hereâŠ
Starting to lose hope in it
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Glad I watered all the plants last night. Got 40 seconds of rain today.
Which means ongoing watering, so back to the watering routine
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Yeah, I wish Iâd watered my plants because I came back to a wilted sad mess and a couple of potted chillies blown over by the wind
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I have not seen any rain at all for days
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
tandoori chicken in oven, rice with almonds and sultanas in the cooker. It smells good. :)
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
non nom, it is delicious
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Its bin day in my estate and not a single one is left standing. Fortunately they are all were already emptied.
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Interesting. I went into my bathroom and smelt smoke, so I opened up the front door and thereâs quite a smokey smell. Nothing on VicEmergency, and Iâm not sure whoâs got a fire on at the end of a 30° day while itâs still in the 20s
00Steve@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I saw someone mention somewhere that there was a bunch of planned burns going on
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I swear this like the 3rd or 4th year in a row when planned burns occur on the windiest day imaginable. I know that these are scheduled some time in advance, but surely there is some contingency.
neurospice@lemmy.dbzer0.com âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Yeh I woke up at 3am and had to close all my windows because of it. Checking now, my particulate matter sensor went crazy then
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Planned burns
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
The ones in macedon/wandong? Feels a bit far to smell the smoke
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I was smelling it a night or two ago and heard sirens so maybe something happened
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Post art on different platform, nobodyâs really that interested. Plus itâd just get scraped by AI. :(
(I know I should be making it for myself but when youâre depressed and everythingâs difficult itâs nice to get a little extra motivation or a bit of a boost from othersâ enjoyment.)
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Why is it still warm?
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
If we get a 30 degree day in April I might not bother making additional super contributions
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So tonight I ran into âAbbeyâ, a randomly lost presumably senile border collie on the dog beach path. I went for a swim and it was still there on the way back devoid of an owner.
She was happily reunited with her human thanks to a lovely lady who had her phone with her called the number on the tag.
There are good people out there.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thatâs good to hear.
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Just finished listening to World war Z audio book, really enjoyed it. Itâs nothing like the movie. Each chapter is told as an interview with someone who survived the zombie war and what part they played in it. Different voice actors throughout really added to it.
Catfish@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I print read it, but agree there was little resemblance to the film. Not that there is in a vast majority of cases
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Have listened to it a couple times, definitely enjoyed, but yeh nothing like the movie
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâve got a bunch of books to listen to and am trying to get them on my phone so I can listen on the tram and bus.
fullkitwanker@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
its only 8.30 and im so sleepy. i want to take a nap but that will fuck with my sleep at night ugh
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm going to bed asap. Iâm trying to fight it but Iâm losing.
tone212_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
What are the best hot cross buns that money can buy? Iâm enjoying this brioche choc chip variety from Woolies but thinking there must be better.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Probably Bakers Delight because theyâre baked fresh that morning.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I second these
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
A few days ago, I made a sandwich out of hot cross bun and rotisserie chicken.
Eagle@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Cannibal Creek Bakehouse in Garfield. Just a short Vline trip for the Melbournites. Wood fired brioche buns are to die for.
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâve had some damn nice ones at gourmet bakeries, but thereâs none near me and also expensive for regular consumption. If itâs between Coles, Woolies and Bakers delight, Bakers is the best for sure.
I like the standard fruit and also choc chip. Iâm not a puritan and occasionally try the other flavours. If you are feeling exceptionally brave I saw pizza shapes flavoured buns at the supermarket. Itâs gone too far. Why. Just why.
bacon@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
should probably take the bins soon
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
How hard is it to hook up an RSS feed to Lemmy? I was thinking we could do with the deal feed from Ozbargin on here
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I donât know, but if you figure it out, Iâd be interested in seeing if I could get a product recall one setup
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
It might be a fun little project to figure out when I have a moment. An actual public service bot doing product recalls would be useful
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
the mozzies are out :scritch: :scritch:
tone212_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I have the most refreshing cross-breeze coming through my place right now. Getting rid of all of that stagnant inside heat.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Itâs got a little bite to it that breeze
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
damn, old phone so old it wonât install apps time for new phone
bull@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Why do companies always go too-fancy when catering for corporate things? Iâm not impressed by your ridiculous food which Iâd never order.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I FLIPPIN hate this! Give me a party pie or a sausageroll ffs.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm watching a cute small movie with Kelsey Grammar, Like Father. Itâs a nice movie. :)
But heâll always be Blinky to me. đ„č
Duenan@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Currently planning my fortnight shopping and what Iâd like to eat. I think I might go chicken wings seasoned with something for a few days. Going to buy at least 3kg-4kg so I hope it lasts me for awhile.
Just the thought of crispy air fried wings is making me hungry.
bacon@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I thank my efforts for the cloudy and windy day
wscholermann@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
This humidity is killing me and can fuck right off!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Agreed. I thought it was just me. I feel bad saying this, but Iâm glad itâs not.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
not just you, the clouds have made it oppressive
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
You hate humidity!wscholermann@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Why yes, yes I do!
