My phone stopped recording data from my watch. So I played around with the both of them and now it’s working. I did technology and I’m very proud of myself because I didn’t get angry or throw anything.

I need to give mine a few minutes to find each other and catch-up once I open the app on the phone.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
This is the usual for me too but somehow they unpaired.
Electronic_Owl@aussie.zone 1 month ago
After years on pre-paid, I got a new phone on a plan yesterday. The initial setup went smoothly, settings and security all good , but I’ve spent the whole morning (and most of last night actually) having to re-login and setup most of my apps again. Thank dog for password managers, I would have been stuffed if I had to try and remember them all or rely on various scribbled post-it notes. What watch do you have?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Garmin venu. They had stopped syncing which is weird because I certainly didn’t touch anything.

COVID finally got me. Here ends a good run.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 1 month ago
First time? I thought I was immune too…
melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
yup, first time. was starting to feel like the last woman standing.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Plenty of water, and rest. Don’t be afraid to get the over-the-counter codral/codeine if you need to.
It sucks, I’m sorry you caught it.
melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
thanks - partner has gone for pharmacy supplies, I am set up in the spare room ready for any eventuality (lots of sickness, sleep and scrappy streaming tv/movies, or not so much sickness and isolated productivity). time will tell!

@melbourne_wanderer @Seagoon_ That's awful 😞
Hope you have a full and speedy recovery.
melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
thanks - my first time, hoping it’s not too bad!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Crawled out of bed to make dinner, and heading straight back. Of all the days to get a migraine…
I told the interviewer an incident had occured at work blah blah but they didn’t care.
Ah well.

Gibson deserves all the treats! 😸
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I can touch my toes for the first time in my life. All the pilates is doing some good.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Missed the interview due to migraine. They weren’t happy. Fucking sucks as it’s a 9 out of 10 for pain.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Oh man, that really sucks - of all days!! Please don’t beat yourself up though, as hard as it feels to think right now that there’s always other jobs, you only have one body. You did the right thing to look after yourself, who knows it could’ve been a worse outcome if you tried doing the interview while in great pain. I hope these guys understand and give you a chance or that something else comes up.

Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Thanks heaps I really appreciate it 🙂 I try not to subscribe to magical thinking but who knows, maybe it was for the best.
It was 1hr 25mins travel each direction.
Diffuser5593@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I mean if they’re reacting poorly to a genuine reason for cancelling, then maybe it’s for the best. Seems they’re showing you what it would be like to work there. Remember that you’re also interviewing them.

@Seagoon_ I just stopped by the shops quickly, and while I was there, picked up a freshly-made cinnamon donut.
Nom Nom Nom.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
cinnamon donuts are under rated 😋
ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Yes! Especially while they’re fresh and warm 😋

We have little snow? peas growing !! Not sure how to tell when they are ready to eat. Still waiting for onion, garlic and spinach to sprout. Cauli, radish and carrot are all growing nicely.
It’s my therapeutic veggie garden.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Snow peas are ready to eat whole when you can juuuusssst see/feel the tiny little peas inside the pod. And can be eaten at any time after that until the pods dry up and go crispy, but you have to shell them at that end of the season. Jelly. Mine don’t grow over winter dammit.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Mine should grow over winter, but have so many critters eager to eat them that the plants often don’t get established. I planted some seeds a while ago, I need to go out and see if I have any that managed to sprout. I’m definitely a long way from actual pods even if they have survived.
Ntcc661@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Does anyone here have a recommendation a psychologist in the Monash Council area?
GP is happy to give me a referral but needs a name.
I need help with stress, anxiety & depression. Trying to avoid meds if possible. Need to get on top of this.
Thanks for anything & everything.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Have a look at the APS find a psych page. psychology.org.au/find-a-psychologist
You can filter to specific issues, and some psychologists have a secure messaging feature, otherwise you can call to ask questions

Been so tired this week, went to bed at 9.30pm last night and I’m still so tired. I blame COVID from last week; not positive anymore but I must have a sleep debt or something.
Mickey woke me up by pouncing on my head and taking some of my hair with him. Love that asshole.
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Sleep debt is so hard to fix… take care
Aradina@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
So so tired. Zzzzz.

nasty nightmare about nazis 😧
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I had a bad dream about people dying. Not so much a nightmare, more just a random, out of the blue, sad dream about someone dying 🫤
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I had a dream that I bought a house which was perfect, except for the fact that it was in USA and the front yard was decorated in red, white and blue with multiple American flags. I was worrying the neighbours would be upset when I removed them. Then for some reason I was in a cemetery across the road from the house, which was very busy with multiple funerals and some sort of market/day of the dead festival event happening.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
What a terrible shock, I did not win Powerball. At least I am not alone, no one else won either. Sorry pets, unfortunately you shall have to remain treatless ☹️
ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Outrageous. Time to demand a refund on that defective ticket 😂
Nath@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I didn’t win, either. Perhaps my odds of winning will improve slightly if I actually buy a ticket. But only very slightly.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I usually figure the chance of someone randomly giving me a winning ticket are not that different to the chance of winning by buying one, so I choose to save my money instead. But occassionally I feel I should buy a ticket, just in case all the laws of physics and mathematics are just for show and we are living in some Matrix like simulation or in a fake world created by some sort of deity, who has decided due to my absolute wonderfulness that I should be rewarded with riches the next time I buy a ticket. Every time I discover nope, the statistics were right.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That’s ok. Gibson needs to start earning her room and board anyway lol

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
After today’s little win for me it got me curious to know what everyone’s strongest and weakest link in life is?
Weakest link - technology and its lingo
Strongest link - I can read and follow instructions well.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Weakest - I think I know everything
Strongest - I know everything…
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
You must know Mr Seagoon 😹
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Weakest link : getting sick (no one to help me really)
Strongest link: will and determination (cheesy I know but it’s true)
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Strongest : peopling. Also other species-ing. Mostly due to lots of practice. When I realised that tech was operated by people, a lot of things that were in the skills black hole suddenly became understandable and therefore doable. Weakest : I am the world’s WORST procrastinator. Particularly when it comes to my personal lifestyle. I really do have to prioritise life admin, and quite a lots of things are a lot further down the list compared to almost everyone else I know. Also not a film/movie/tv person - just the wrong format for me. When forced to watch a ‘show’, I have a strong temptation to heave half a brick through the screen. No matter what the show is. Haven’t actually done that yet, but give me time.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Team Procrastination reporting for duty…
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Strongest: I am creative, format near irrelevant I can and do make pretty stuff.
Weak: peopling, and pretending to be polite about it. Sometimes I just can’t.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I have managed to find myself one of the few jobs that allow you to deal with people and not be polite - in fact sometimes being abrupt and rude can be an advantage! Being able to cut people off and focus single mindedly on getting the information you need is an asset in emergency situations.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Weakest- ignorance of too many life skills and too much life knowledge
Strongest - I learn well
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Strongest link - organisational skills & the ability to create systems
Weakest link - social skills, including all abilities that allow me to be in positions where my strengths can be usefully employed ☹️
ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Weakest points:
There’s many.
I’m atrocious at sports and physical activities. I’m not handy at all. There’s a lot of stuff, particularly in more advanced math and science, that I don’t know much about. I don’t watch much TV or many movies compared to most people, and end up with little to say when the topic comes up. I know nothing about cars.
Strongest points:
I’m modest enough not to mention them 😂
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Is this a mirror?
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Oof…
Weakest: Self-application (failure to capitalise on endless opportunities). Strongest: All-rounder (not sure if I would say quick study, but I do learn fast on the job).
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Weakest link: difficulty with verbal instructions, people.
Strongest link: independent, honest, loyal.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Anyone got a goat I can rent? These yard Triffids are getting out of hand.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
When I first moved in, I thought the housemate was a little stuck up and a bit out of touch, but when we started speaking more I realised that we’ve actually had quite similar lives and we get along really really well. He didn’t grow up in the system, but he still got to “enjoy” a lot of the same things I did. Moving around a lot, changing schools more than yearly, etc etc. And knowing that he’s managed to get through it actually helped a lot with some of my deep seated fears about the future.
These days we pretty much just talk shit about the system and people in the department, but it’s always nice talking to him. It’s a massive shame he’s moving out so soon, but he’s been here for longer than I was at the last place, so I can’t fault him for wanting to move on. If I was in his shoes I would too. I hope the next LT/mentor they’ve lined up is as easy to talk to and get along with

So people are camped out at Melbourne Uni because they don’t like their relationship with Lockheed Martin.
From what I’ve read the relationship amounts to 1 million in research funding to Melbourne Uni for non military related purposes. i.e. powerline management and first responder technology.
Even if Melbourne Uni cut ties and rejected funding it would make 0 difference to the conflict.
So either there’s something I don’t know, or the protesters aren’t very smart and/or mentally ill.

gees, door bell rings when I’m in the shower 😬
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I really feel there needs to be an audit of all these folks with the kings awnings hanging off the roofracks, and ESPECIALLY the rooftop tent folks. How often are you camping where you NEED your tent with you at all times? I totally need some roofracks to get one myself!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s such a beautiful day. Really would like to go out but should rest my back, maybe do a little around the house.

Chat gpt 4o is a bit scary imho. We can’t trust video or voice any more due to deepfakes, now we have AI interacting with voice and video.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I have an assignment due at midnight. It’s quarter past 11. Fml.
I already got an extension on it and is bound to be overdue. I need a certain average to keep the option of getting into honours open but I’ve already fucked up and let the shit I’ve gone through fuck me up. There’s always the option of pursuing research later down the line if that’s what I want to do.
Maybe it would be better if I went to sleep and got up early to work on it, taking the 10%.
I have another assignment due on Monday. I have had so much time to do them but I’ve spent all this time wallowing in self-pity. I am so mad at how I’ve let this stuff affect me. Another failed uni semester!

Mentioned in passing to wifey that I’m thinking about getting a buzzcut when the weather gets warmer.
She’s urging me to do it, and is offering to shave my head…

I know this is an odd thing to complain about, but I don’t like how Amazon doesn’t charge instantly when I order stuff. It feels like the non credit version of a credit card. They don’t seem to take their money until 12:30am on the day of delivery, and I really don’t like that they do that. It feels like they’re encouraging me to spend money I don’t have/shouldn’t spend. I don’t have overdraft so I guess it’s not that bad, but still. If they took their money instantly, I’d know okay, I have exactly $x left

Put on the train trip from Souther Cross to Tocumwal on for the kids:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPuTwG4Ghcc
The last leg from Shepperton to Tocumwal is usually freight only. I’d love to hop on at Donnybrook and take the train to Tocumwal.
Same with Mildura. That line is freight only as well. How many tourism dollars would a vline to Mildura rake in? I don’t know why it’s still closed to the public.

TV and Movie review.
Locke and Key, Netflix. Billed as the next Narnia, it was not even close. Not really a kid’s show, not really an adult’s show either. Might have been a lot better if it was all done from the kid’s perspective. 2 hobbits.
The Long Trench, Netflix. Life under Franco’s fascism. So many lives wasted.
Please think hard who you vote for at the next election.
4 hobbits

Had to battle the ring road at peak hour this afternoon. Haven’t had to do it in a long time and can report it’s as stuffed as ever. Glad its not a daily commute. Dinner saved the day, lamb cutlets, mash and veg followed by an apple crumble.

No one happens to have a resin 3d printer? I can’t get replies from any of the facebook ads for it. I’m looking to print a DnD mini, pro places seem to want $50+ for it, I can get it posted from hero forge for that, and I don’t want to spend that much.
