I was supposed to go to a funeral today but when I got up this morning I just didn’t have it in me to go. Mr P was going so I said he could represent our family. I seem to be reaching some kind of depressing events threshold. They were all going out drinking afterwards at one of the shittier local hotels 😬 definitely count me out, would rather stay home than deal with drunken people today. Especially people who had already started squabbling about money barely a day after she died. I felt a bit guilty though, especially seeing as I’d taken the day off work to go, so I had a go at repairing the dishwasher and succeeded! Am kind of enjoying having a day off that’s not a public holiday.

You do whatever you need to do in your own way to get through it.
Everyone has different ways of handling and getting through things, you just do what best works for you.
That’s what’s most important.

Thanks Duenan, I appreciate your understanding words 🥹

Do you guys think this a good idea or bad idea? I sprinkle bird seed and then she sits and watches them through the door.

I made the mistake of putting Cat TV on last week. One of the cats is now so transfixed that the child cannot play roblox without his character being attacked. It’s funny, but I am slightly concerned that she might harm the TV… your method seems safer and involves less screen time which is bad for our younguns.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I think she be a fine tiger loaf
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 months ago
It says here that it’s enrichment for cats so I think it’s a good idea. www.thevetshed.com.au/blog/…/4266

I think it’s lovely, it’s like Cat TV. 😸📺

Cat TV! A staple of this household. Even without birdie nom noms

I couldn’t sleep last night, so instead of sleeping, I decided to register a domain name. Any guesses what I fucked up while doing so? 🫠
Lesson learnt: don’t do fucking anything that costs money when tired. Ever.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 5 months ago
But on the plus side, I mean hey now you own buka.com.au!
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Or did he register baka.xyz?
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Haha bingo! Although this is less cool - stick became sick

But why…? What’s the benefit of having a wifi connected washer? So you can put the load through again from bed when you realise you forgot to hang it out?.. Wouldn’t you still have to add detergent…I don’t understand
Nath@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Load it in the morning. Start it an hour before you get home so it’s ready to hang when you arrive? That way, it isn’t going mankey all day.
That’s all I got.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 months ago
The only reasons I can come up with are if the laundry is on a different floor it might be handy to check if it has finished before you go downstairs to unload it. It might also remind you if you don’t unload it which could definitely be handy. Or it could give you a bit more control over programming if it has a decent app - it’s easier/cheaper to build in more variables into an app than it is to have hard buttons. My rice cooker has an app which gives you access to a lot more detailed programming than you can do on the panel, like setting the exact finish time for the times, adjusting default times to your preferences, programs for yoghurt etc. Plus it allows multilingual settings - the cooker has chinese on all the buttons but the app is in English.

Me: True.

So have my internal job interview next week. I’ve put my expected salary as 10% greater than I currently have, but about 9 months ago they made the role that I’m going for no longer an automatic pay jump. I know they will say my pay will remain the same and I don’t know how to respond to that. They are desperate for people right now, but so is the team id be leaving. I am definitely worth a raise but my company is cheap. The company also loves to bluff - like you ask for a raise, they will tell you no chance UNTIL you have another job offer and say you’re leaving. It’s a tricky one. Any thoughts?
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Advice I’ve seen on lemmee.World is if they offer you a promotion without a payrise you put that on your resume and immediately look for another job elsewhere paying the money you were looking for
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I think if you get another offer for more money, I wouldn’t stay at the same company because they view you as a flight risk.

I found the corkscrew! I cunningly placed it on top of my box of wine. Where I had already looked, but obviously not very well as it was just pushed to the back a bit (under a shelf, so not very visible).
Having used the first bottle of wine in the beef stew I have opened another bottle to drink, and have been able to use the un-screwed cork that I had to push into the bottle as a seal for the newly opened one, which means I have been able to use the wine stopper in the bottle of soy sauce that for some reason had a non re-sealable bottle top and has been sitting with a bit of foil squished onto it as its lid.
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’m impressed you found affordable wine with actual cork.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I made it myself 😁
I did a package at Shiraz Republic in Heathcote and made a few boxes of Shiraz.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Beef stew (with lots of wine) has been cooked and is currently in jars in the pressure canner. Seven serves, so one tonight and six for later.

It’s new washing machine day! My landlord has finally arranged a replacement. I hope it’s a nice one!
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’ve never lived in a place where the washing machine was part of the lease! That’s good that they’re replacing yours!!
I’ve been lugging my refurbished one around for almost 10 years. It was refurbished when I bought it, a long with the dryer and the fridge, by Kids off the Kerb. And while I ended up giving the dryer back to them when we moved (no room for the dryer), the washing machine and the fridge are still going strong. No issues with either of them!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Washer AND dryer combo? Bro, they did NOT cheap out.
bull@aussie.zone 5 months ago
They’re about $1k-ish from what I can see. It does apparently have an app though which is interesting and exciting!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
woolen wash cycles are so good 🤞
I love washing machines because washing by hand is such hard work
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’m young and well off enough to never have needed to hand wash (+ until recently I’ve only worn things that are washer and dryer friendly), but last year the washing machine at the last place broke and I was out of clean clothes so I had to hand wash and Jesus Christ I didn’t realise wet clothes were that fucking heavy when waterlogged. I actually fucked my back up for a few weeks thinking that I could be superman and grab a whole bunch of them and lift them with 1 hand without a warm up.
Also spilled a drink while I was in bed and had to wash my electric blanket which sucked so much. I was trying to wash it carefully because I didn’t want to snap the elements and get electrocuted the next time I plugged it in so I couldn’t wring it very much and had to carry it draped over my shoulder dripping on me and everything else. I’ve decided that next time I wash it, I’m taking it outside and hosing it down over the clothes line because I was NOT prepared for that
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Check how much it is on The Good Guys website once it arrives. See if its not the cheapest listed on there
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
The wind is so loud I can’t sleep 😔
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I went outside and it’s actually really nice. I can’t sleep either though (I was so tired I went to sleep at 6 then woke up at midnight and couldn’t get back to sleep 😒)
There’s something about the quietness of nighttime on a slightly chilly and fairly windy night. Peaceful. If I wasn’t scared of things that fly and/or have 8 legs I’d sit outside

RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 months ago
does anyone know where I put the corkscrew?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Second drawer down.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 months ago
not in any of the drawers. I checked each one about 4 times.
bull@aussie.zone 5 months ago
It’s stuck with its magnet half way down the garbage chute

Dad: Into the wine bottle… got a swiss army knife in a drawer somewhere?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Cork was pushed into the bottle. Alas I have no swiss army knife. I have a suspicion I may have overzealously decluttered it thinking it was a spare.

The BoMs are saying that rains due around 4 in my area. I hope it’s not lying because I lost my umbrella and don’t want to buy a new one

TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Trying to get the mrs to understand that servicing a modern diesel engine, plus tyres and breaks on a big SUV are gonna be a lot more expensive (and given its “my” car cost ME) meanwhile I can replace her whole engine for 20 bucks and run the thing off the smell of an oily rag. Meanwhile the SUV has copped 10k km and shitbox hasn’t hit 2k km.
I shouldnt call it a shitbox, its such a fun little car to drive I love that thing to death.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago

Totally forgot I have those wifi multicoloured light globes.
Soft orange light is perfect to make music to.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I like going to musicals but haven’t been for some time because the current offerings are so boring. It’s just the same shows being recycled. I feel like theatre has followed the same trend as pop movies, just reboots and reruns because they are safe. Original creativity is seen as too high risk. It’s a bit sad when the art has left the arts.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Went to Aldi and saw some of those extreme thermo boots.
I almost bit the bullet but I wasn’t quite sure if those boots were going to be comfy enough or too warm for me to wear as I normally wear work boots to work and they’re starting to go.
Still thinking if I should have gotten them or not.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Looks like it’s going to feel relatively warm tonight so I suggest changing to a lighter doona.

Movies are being watched. First up, rewatching Judgement at Nuremberg for the 10th time.
It’s just as powerful as the first time I watched it.
Every argument and defence that evil uses to justify their actions you can still hear today.
The best way to counter evil is to use your conscience in every aspect of your own life.

Go into the office, come home with the sniffles.
Stupid dirty infected denizens.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Been coughing for 3 weeks. keept getting dirty looks from daycare. Was thinking I should wear a sign that says “dont worry, its just daycare germs. So long as I dont lick your eyeballs you wont catch it”.

After my xmas bout of whatever-the-fuck-virus I had a lingering cough for like 6 weeks. Went into work and had to keep explaining that I’m not sick, and not contagious. I understand the trepidation though. Still too many nuffies that think going into work while actively sick is some sort of show of strength.
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 5 months ago
So many people out sick at the moment. I woke up with a sore throat and I’ve hardly been out and wear a mask.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
There’s a bout of covid going through my office for the past few weeks. Mine isn’t covid (tested 3 times already) and probably not the flu (had my shot a couple of months back). Most likely just some head cold virus thingy that is more annoying than anything.
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’ve been fake taking extra shots from my puffer because of filthy looks on the bus. Really not sick people, this cough is my normal.
