  Hey guys

  I just wanted to let you know I will no longer be making the new thread at midnight. If I’m awake at that time I’ll do it otherwise I’ll be asleep like a normal person.

  I have enjoyed steering this ship the last few months and I hope you laughed at least once at my stupidity. I guess this is my resignation letter. I look forward to going back to my regular bedtime.

  Many thanks @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ♥

    I wondered when you would.

    The rest was very welcome, thank you.

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I did it because I’m a team player and I honestly got a kick out of sharing what popped into my head at midnight.

      I was starting to get unexplained headaches and I’ve put it down to staying up way past my bedtime. I appreciate your thank you. ♥

    Thank you! I would offer to take over but no force under the sun (or moon) sees me up at midnight unless things have gone very wrong. We’ll figure something out. Maybe I can suss out a bot one day if I ever get time and space

  Depression is driving me crazy 😭

  I think being bed bound for 2 months did not help.

  Shout out to the homeless bloke screaming at me on my way to the station this morning. Just a great way to start the morning. Also love that after having a go at me for what ever imagined sin he calls out “help me” after I’ve walked off and ignored him. Yeaaaaah, not gonna do that dude. My empathy extends as far as not taking your crutch off you and belting you over the head with it.

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    This is so sad. It’s like he had a moment of clarity .

    He’s angry at society ( and he has cause to be )

    but he can only take it out on individuals, but then realises individuals are the only people who can help him .

    Doesn’t mean you should put up with it tho, he needs professional help.

    source

    • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I reckon more likely trying to manipulate me cause I’m pretty sure he insulted me for not helping him.

  I’ve figured out my next audiobook now that I’ve finished World War Z.

  I’m going to try and work my way through Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books. There’s like 41 of them though and figuring out a reading order is pretty complicated. Peoples “guides” online are more suggestions than guides. One thing everyone agrees on though, even apparently Mr. Pratchett himself, is not to start at the beginning.

  I’ve started with book #4, Mort. Which is the first in the “Death” sub-series. Like I said, it’s complicated.

  • Zane@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I hope you love them all. The Witches series was my favourite, my toddler is starting small, with “Where’s my Cow?”, but it’s just as good as the rest of them.

    Aldi have individual ones in the freezer. They are divine.

    My homemade ones consist of beef mince with flavours and mash potato on top. No base. Just slapped in a pie dish and baked.

    source

    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      HEATHEN! A shepherd’s pie is made from lamb. Beef makes cottage pie. Identical in almost every respect, but for the beast of origin. Mince is allowable nowadays, but for both sorts really should be (and in MY household still is) made with slices of leftover sunday roast and leftover roasted veg, all moistened with leftover gravy and the leftover roasted spuds roughly crushed to make the top. There is no dish better than that. Try it. I dare you.

  Another work person wanting something early this morning disturbing my personal time.

  I’m a little irritated by it today and eating into my coffee time early in the moment.

  I need to learn to deflect and defer them for later and to be able to tell them that in person.

    Coffee is much more important that other people deferring their responsibilities onto you unceremoniously and early.

  I was digging through my photos from Adelaide and found more angry warning signs. So continuing on from my Adelaide complaint thread a few weeks ago:

  Being at a train station without intending to board a train is a $1,250 expiration notice, just like not buying your bike a ticket (their version of Myki is on the train, so the station isn’t a ticketed area)

  Standing too close to the driver door is a $750 expiration notice

  Walking through carriages while the train is moving isn’t just politely discouraged, it’s also a $750 expiration notice

  Notably though, they seem to have replaced all the cops with ambulance drivers and Wilton security lol. Only saw 1 cop car there, but about 100 Wilson security and about 1000 ambulances (that must be where all ours vanished to)

  I went to this party the other day. There was this lady there that kept staring at me the whole time. I’m going to be in a group of people and she’ll be there as well on the weekend.

  Do you think it’s worth trying to ask her out?

  I know how this sounds but I missed a lot of this stuff growing up due to bad decisions.

  I feel like a teenager with this stuff.

  source

  • 00Steve@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yeh this weekend sounds like a good chance to actually get to chat to her a bit and get a bit of a feel of things. Then if it feels good absolutely ask her out :)

    maybe just chat at the party for a while and see how it goes , then ask her out 😊🤞

    • Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Does the staring thing mean she wants me to talk to her? I know it’s a dumb question but I honestly don’t know 😔

  Package arrived! And turned out to be only one of two items I ordered (and the half that is only useful if I have the other half). ☹️ I found another tracking number for the other item, it is at least also in the country. It looks like they split up so this one could spend some more time in Chicago for some reason.

  I was feeling adventurous today so I purchased a flat white instead of my usual cappuccino and I’m disappointed. I’m not sure if coffee even went in there.

  So my question is: Is a flat white just another name for a deflated latte because I’m struggling to taste any coffee in there?
