So I think it went ok. I almost accidentally said my non Aussie name lol
But otherwise I did the best I could. It was with 3 people. The tech side wasn’t as intense as I thought. They were happy with what I knew how to do in AD.
Still going to continue studying AD and then Azure just to get my skills up regardless.
Ahhhhhh that’s great!! Yorie doing awesome!
Fingers crossed for you!
That’s cool. 😊
It’s hard work being adorable.
They’re so smooth and cool about it, so high up on the pedestal we monkeys worship them upon 😍
Just a had a hookup steal from me on his way out the door.
It was just a sample size moisturiser that was near my bathroom sink (and I have a full-size bottle of it in the bathroom cabinet…) but, still, what is wrong with people? 🙄
What is the world coming to?
I feel like there’s a joke about hotels somewhere here, but I can’t quite think it
Guess I better check my dressing gowns and bath towels are still here too
What a travesty of a human. 😭
So i just posted a story. it didn’t seem appropriate for the DT so I just put it to Melbourne. If you go camping at all, I urge you to read it. Learn from my mistakes. Cause as of last week i would of told you what happened was impossible and I was in no way dumb enough to fuck up THAT badly.
You lived, you won.
Yeah alls well that ends well. Didn’t root the car either. got a well deserved talking to from the Mrs though.
That’s some story, glad you made it out of that situation in the end.
Very true about relying on your gps when you’re going way out and don’t know an area as well.
I came back from a wedding out in the country and was 100% trusting the gps in the middle of the night.
If it had sent me off-road I would have done it before knowing something was wrong.
I really do feel that society sells people a lie when it comes to relationships. The first one is that every person is eventually going to find one. The second is that the “right one” is all sunshine and lollipops.
I think people would have a lot less angst over them if they are told quite truthfully that many us won’t find a great love, and even those that do it may find it quite fleeting.
Relationships are fleeting, that’s precisely why so many will pine for a chance of one. Regardless of the standards we pretend we have.
I refuse to settle. It’s unfair to myself and especially the other person. I’d rather be single than thinking “I guess this is good enough”.
bloody hell, I’ve been resting in bed to heal my back, minute I get up Ted jumps on my pillow and snuggles in. 😡🤣
I get that when I get up to pee in the middle of the night. It’s not a polite discussion at that stage of night.
I always get so nervous when having my MC appointment, but it’s never bad. In fact, it’s always a positive experience. My clinic are just amazing, kind people.
Perhaps it’s because it stills feels illegal, even though I’m TGA approved.
It helps so damn much with my CPTSD symptoms, especially reducing the frequency of night terrors/nightmares. I feel lucky that it works for me. I still have bad days, but chalk that up to the brain damage CPTSD does, but overall, much better than when I wasn’t on this medication.
I put in a consult online on Wednesday which I’m a bit anxious about. I doubt they’ll allow me because I haven’t tried prescription anything though. Still waiting for them to get back to me “Your consult is complete. We’re currently reviewing your responses. You will receive an email once your treatment plan has been created.”
You should mention this anxiety to your GP or psych so you can get even more MC
In the movie “As good as it gets”, Melvin pays for a doctor for Carols kid. I’d like to be rich enough to pay for a doctor who listens to me about my health problems and helps find actual solutions.
The “sorry can’t help, ” stuff from lazy doctors who don’t care is just bullshit. (Private and bulk bill). Worse is the “never seen that before” don’t know from specialists.
I just want some sleep without my nose blocking up and leaving me with headaches, constant exhaustion etc. let alone the other disabling, life fucking up stuff. But I look fine on the outside.
Tell me about it. It’s taken years to find someone that will listen
Was wide awake until almost 4am and completely forgot an electrician was coming to fix my flickering downlights at 8:30am. He arrived 3 minutes early (my alarm goes off at 8:30am) and it scared the shit out of me. My door buzzer thing (it’s more of a ringing than a buzz) very rarely goes off these days so I spent a good 20 seconds wondering what the hell the sound was.
All sorted now though. No more strobe party lights in my kitchen.
A tradie turned up early? Yeah sure.
Yeah definitely doesn’t sound right… maybe it was a dream, and the lights are still flickering and you’re sleep-posting @bull? =)
I think a tradie came to do something or another earlier this morning. I say I think because I didn’t answer the door. Sounds like a bit of a dick move, but I’m not allowed to let tradies in without the program leader being present, and I can’t sign off or agree to their work. They know that they have to call her first (it’s in the contract they have with the company and always put in the job notes) or they don’t come in, but they never do. And they’re usually, well… Tradies, so I don’t bother anymore
Getting a bit sick of going over to the p’s place and half the conversation is about them feeling cold. Tonight was 6 times. Their place is at 23c.
I’ve tried to explain layering with light clothes, doing some light activity a few times a day when they feel it, thermals…
I understand it becomes hard to regulate temp. at that age which is why layering is a good one. Gets a bit hot, take one off… not doing it for you put it back on rinse and repeat.
They’ve been on so many trips to cold places over the years and they’re swimming in warm clothing, but they just… don’t.
It’s like complaining about being rained on when you’re holding an expensive unopened umbrella.
Frustrating.
It’s likely to be circulation issues more than actual cold, in which case extra clothing does not help as much. More activity would be helpful as that stimulates circulation, but an electric heated blanket might be a good option for them.
this, they need to move about more too
Went to the farm in Bundoora Park yesterday. It’s a great little spot. The boys loved seeing the donkeys and sheep.
We got rained out because we weren’t prepared but it was probably enough for the boys anyway.
And tell you what, you can tell the place is run by the council because the food is so cheap. I’d go there for lunch all the time if I lived nearby.
I also thought people were bringing happy meals from the McDonald’s down the road, but their kids meals have their own little cardboard box.
Update: the Mercedes parked in the 5-minute zone was gone this morning. It was still there yesterday afternoon. I don’t know whether they finally returned or whether it was eventually towed.
I guess some things will just forever be a mystery.
I appreciate you linking to the comment so people can keep fully across the developments
I nearly commented yesterday to say it was still there. And muse at what it takes to actually have your car towed. I’m pretty sure a car parked in front of a city loop station in Melbourne would have been towed on the first day. In fact, a friend had her car towed from Flinders St about 4:05pm after it became a clearway at 4 one time. That was an expensive coffee!
Just loaded up my phone with a bunch of new audiobooks which I obtained completely legally and would never dream of getting from torrents. Looking forward to getting stuck into a new story.
I too would never dream of getting books off torrents, especially not after spending $15 for a book audible are now going to cancel in a week.
Let’s us know if you find any favourites! Always looking for recommendations
I really don’t care for all this AI crap that the likes of Google and Instagram are trying to push. Lime seriously fuck off with it. It’s annoying.
The big problem is that they are taking the same sort of approach that Microsoft did with it’s stupid paperclip that everyone hated. People want useful tools, not a system which actually blocks you from doing what you want and instead constantly tries to override what you want to do and know.
There’s no escape from the hubris of capitalism and morons who think AI is the next big thing. It’s not even true AI!
It saddens me how “AI” is hurting creatives. Deeply saddens me. But that’s a whole other rant.
Good night every one. 😽
Gotta love people on social media who are told by multiple people that they are basically wrong in what they are saying and just double down and start insulting everyone. Not a great character trait.
I have written 70 words of a 2000 word assignment. It’s due tonight. I am planning to submit it Wednesday by the latest.
It’s such a struggle. It’s hard to read and understand stuff. I feel super incapable but I wanna get it done so I can prove to myself that I could do it.
I used to always fill out my reference list first so there wasn’t a blank page taunting me
That’s a great idea! Researching before doing the writing of the assignment pretty much?
I’ve returned to study this year after (ahem) more than 20 years. When I’m stuck, I use chatgpt just for a prompt. Gets me over that first hurdle. Just a prompt though… I’ll be up late tonight finishing 2 parts of mine before midnight. Good luck!
Ugh I just want to strangle Microsoft sometimes. I’m constantly getting annoying notifications for shit I don’t care about, but the one time I get an important email they decide to just not bother sending the notification 😐
I thought that perhaps I was not paying attention and dismissed the notification, but my phone logs 24 hours of notifications and they really never did. Apparently at 8:52am they sent me a notification to say they were optimising the database, so that’s nice. As long as I know what background tasks it’s doing that’s all that matters I suppose 🤦♂️
I always write a big shopping list but when I actually go, I get in there, grab the bare essentials and get the fuck out in record time.
I’ve decided to finally see if I can plug a leak in my car on the totally wrong day.
Why do I get these weird bursts of inspirations on the worst of days
Movie review. Plague Goat, aka Get the Goat. A Brazilian parody of Beverley Hills Cop.
It’s weird in a glorious way.
Worth it just to hear The Heat Is On in choro beats

Got a real horrible suspicion Israel has just fired off a shot in the next middle eastern conflict. No evidence, completely wild speculation on my behalf. But after the whole Stuxnet business you’d be crazy to underestimate 'em.
Got a slight headache today.
Thinking about a haircut after I finish work then a trip to Bunnings for a sealant.
Just hope the weather holds out and the headache doesn’t get much worse.
I hate the amount of wax that apples are coated in these days. I used to love biting into an apple, now I prefer to peel them, but then the flavour is not the same, so usually just choose other fruits instead. Can we start a campaign to Unwax the Apple.

Thankfully my headache eased up, maybe with the help of some Panadol.
Got my haircut, did some light snack shopping and got the sealant.
Sadly too dark to really do anything or any patching up.
I’m not sure if this was a smart decision but I used some blu tak to seal down some spots in the meanwhile until I can properly deal with it but even then I’m not sure if that’s the source of my leakage problems.
TV Review. Netflix. Suspects. Brazil. This show is exhausting, it’s like every character is played by Niecy Nash. 2.5 hobbits
mmm anyone run Kodi or know a good forum off-reddit? Trying to intertwine with Enigma and I refuse to bow to the machine’s naming conventions.
What ever happened to listicles?

Alright off to the interview. My gut feeling is I probably don’t have enough technical skill for the role, despite it being a management role with very little technical work assigned.
But, the practice is always worth it!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 11 months ago
My guy feel is your gonna smash it bro!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 11 months ago
Thanks man! I hope all the AD stuff I did over the weekend will pay off. Either way though, the more interview experience the better.

How’d you go, GFB?
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 11 months ago
I think it went ok. I answered everything they asked as well as I could, didn’t stammer or get stuck. But who knows what will happen now. Fingers crossed!!!
