Mickey is wearing a fur coat - lucky little thing.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Exactly! I tabby cape on a white cat haha
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 5 months ago
What a handsome little prawn, all snug and warm.
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Ooh Mickey your toes are so warm…
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago

I get unreasonably irritated by the pop-up chats when online shopping. They obscure the screen in the worst positions to get your attention, and pop up within 5 seconds of landing on the site. No, I do not want to chat to ‘Hailey’. I just got here, put away your chat bot and let me browse please. And then it whines when trying to close the chat window, are you sure you want to close chat? Look mate, if I wanted to be harassed by aggressive sales staff I can do that in person, I don’t need the service extended to online shopping.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 months ago
It’s not unreasonable. They shit me too.
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I hate this too. I hate it even more on news websites. I sometimes read drive.com.au for their wild stories about a P player doing 130km/h above the speed limit or whatever, but they also sell cars too. Every time I try to read from mobile, some randos face pops up in the bottom of my screen and starts flickering at me asking if I need help. No I don’t fucking need help, I just want to read the article. Seriously.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Or worse - frequent popups of ‘SomeBozo in Buttsville bought such-and-such!’
Cool. Even if the popups don’t fully block what I’m looking at the flickering of those messages is still breaking my concentration and causing visual stress
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Yes! I online shop to avoid people, especially forced up sell litanies at the register.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Couriers Please is a garbage organization. I get a message saying I wasn’t home. I was literally staring out the window waiting…
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
They do the opposite for me. No matter how many check boxes I tick or notes I make saying to get a signature and not to leave things, they don’t even fucking knock. They throw it sideways at my front door, snap a photo, and walk off.
Also funny you bring this up, because I ordered a heater at the end of last month from Kmart, and they’re still saying they haven’t received it. I message them and they’re like “sorry we haven’t received it, it muster still be with the sender”, I message Kmart and they’re like “well we have it to the courier I don’t know what more you want from us”
Until now I’ve never actually had couriers please lose a package, or just knock it conveniently off a conveyor belt where it’ll probably sit for 4 years. They’ve always delivered, just poorly

A weird side effect of going through winter carless is the mental health boost from the enforced walk when I have to go into work. Definitely doing better than normal so far. Who would have thought that exercise and a little natural light would do wonders.
Narrator: everyone…literally first or second on every mental health suggestion list…
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Lol I feel the same. I say I hate going out, but really I hate the at-home-before-going-out part. Once I’m out, I feel great and so much better
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I have a doctor I have to see every 2 weeks. She’s an almost 4 hour round trip on public transport.
It fucking sucks, but she’s amazing. First paycheck of new job, I’m getting a car.
beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Bike?
Nath@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Even an escooter that you can take on the train. Depends of course on where home and doctor are.
It can be two hours to go a 20 minute drive from suburb to suburb if PT insists on taking you via the city. A 20 minute drive is around the end of a comfortable escooter range.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Good idea actually. Will look into it.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I bought a lottery ticket. I would love to win my money back lol
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
went out for a walk yesterday, ached just a little afterward but today I am 100% better
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Oh I did the same thing this evening! I was feeling down still so went for a walk and it was nice. I don’t quite feel 100% better, but I feel happier. The cold air also seemed to unblock my nose a bit
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Yay!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I think I’ve lost a lot of fitness the past 8 months 😞
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Awesome!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Here’s an odd one.
Random dude probably 20yo rocks up this morning, starts whipper-snippering the front lawn. I go out ask him wtf are you doing, he says sorry I got the wrong address jumps in his car and drives off…
I’m still scratching my head.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Same thing happened to us once. The dude did both nature strips. Beautiful job he did AND it happened to be my husband’s birthday. He came back the following week to do across the road.
Husband thought I’d done it as a surprise. Nope.
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Shouldn’t have told him! “Oh yeah I forgot I booked him. Happy bday hubby!”
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Could be the scam where they do work then over bill you for it unauthorised?
oztrin@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Just retested. Still positive. Like TinyBreak, the line showed up before the liquid got to the top of the window.
Not surprised, as I’m still definitely symptomatic and the cats are being very cuddly. I just wish Sammi wouldn’t kick litter all over…TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 months ago
TinyCat is all about the cuddles too. Its funny, I’m fine one minute then brain dead the next. Food deffo helps!
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
:/ you poor people. COVID sucks. Hope you’re feeling better soon
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
oh no, take care youse all
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Braved the chilly air and got my partner his anti-sads from the pharmacy. I love using the local pharmacy instead of the chain; they know me now and it’s so lovely having a little chat with the pharmacist and the cashiers. A little jaunt around the block and back home with a warm coffee.
All is well.
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
If I’m feeling better by the weekend, I think I want to go and get out and do something. I’m feeling a bit trapped and unhappy with what’s happening here, so maybe going and doing… Something is a good idea.
I used to do things and go places, then I just sort of stopped. I mean, I still go places and do things, just not really solo anymore. But maybe a nice meal somewhere and a movie is what I need.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I think that’s a great idea. Maybe check out Meetup and see if there’s something interesting there?
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’m not sure about that. I think I kind of want to escape into a social setting, but without the socialising (like going to a cinema, or having dinner somewhere)
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Wanna go for lunch?
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Aww, that’s sweet, thanks FM! I’ll probably have a late friday night and probably won’t be up til lunch time, plus I’m planning on just spacing out with my headphones for most of the day. But thanks for the offer
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Went for a drive at lunch. On the way there I saw this… figure. Face totally covered, just sitting by the side of the road. Still there when I came back. Hadnt moved in 10 minutes so I figured I’d call the police non-emergency who directed me to 000. I’m really hoping it was just someone throwing out a sex doll or something. Now I’m worried it was just someone having a mental breakdown or something and I’ve made it worse by getting police/ambulance involved.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 months ago
You may have saved someone’s life. Don’t over think things. They’re in the right hands now.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 months ago
yeah I hope so. Or at least the cops have a laugh at the sex doll being thrown away. Without seeing a face its impossible to know.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I wish I could fit on a cat tree in front of the heater and be cute. Maybe in the next life.
Eagle@aussie.zone 5 months ago
She is so beautiful!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
It’s how she gets away with all the shit she puts me through lol
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Beautiful Gibson, how could one not want to be you? 💜🙌💜
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 months ago
There’s a few coppers outside my place and because I cant see because of my fence I opened the gate and asked what’s going on. The one copper says “yeah ah just someone tryna get away. Don’t worry we got him”. I said “no worries” shut the gate.
Mind you I went out in my cat pjs and what I describe as a native American woollen blanket with sleeves. It’s an interesting little number.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 months ago
well suddenly the feeling sick makes sense, that was the fastest positive line I’ve ever seen on a rat test. It wasn’t even a minute!
Aradina@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Today is payday, I’m starting at an overdraft of $50. Gonna suck, can’t get the new shoes I’ve been needing a while(my current ones have holes, which is fine when it isn’t cold.) But I think I’ll be fine. Lots of cheap ramen in my future.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Didn’t really warm up today after a bungled site visit meant an hour in the cold without enough layers on. Total brain fog at work like I could barely remember my name let alone do my job. The sads are definitely hitting. I watched the last episode of Tales From The Loop which is sad enough itself, but somehow the thing that made me most emotional was seeing Cole walking the sunny meadows, flowers and grass waving in the breeze… I wanted to touch the sun…
Thinking back to the last few winters from 2020 on, they were all significant low points of the year - aside from getting my PR a bit over exactly a year ago. That was glorious until shtf in July at work.
Anyway, I know my risk factors, so I’ve arranged social things for all 3 of the next days, I’ll try taking my meds again now that my sleep schedule has reset, and I’ll prolly have a coffee at work tomorrow (green tea is not cutting it). I need external motivation to exercise, that’s probably the biggest thing missing. If I get a decent tax return in July I think I’ll look into a personal trainer for even a month, even though I’m very cagey/picky about such things.
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Semi hoarder parent is being forced into Care. I’m to write a list of things I want retrieved. Very difficult since I’ve not been to this particular house and everything I can think of wanting is super susceptible to rats so probably doesn’t exist anymore.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Good very early morning. It’s BRRRR.
bull@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Still stuffy and gross. Worked up a sweat just loading the dishwasher and taking the garbage to the chute! I’m working today though for the first time this week at least.

It’s so cold I don’t want to do anything 😔
Supposed to go to the gym but it’s freezing outside!
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’m still feeling crook :/
At this point it’s mostly a gnarly cough and my nose turning red from all the tissues, but I was hoping I’d be better by now. Not COVID though, so that’s a plus I suppose
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Nooo. I put my tin of charcoal pencils on my bed to do a quick stick vac and then they fell off. Snapped the leads off two of them. And it was tin with plastic grooves for them to sit in too, intended to protect them from breakage during transport. But they were sharpened shorter so there was room at the top to rattle, plus I guess it fell at kind of a vertical angle so they landed wrong.
I’ll sharpen them again.
If I had the energy I’d get a small shallow wooden box with a closure, cut a piece of foam to wedge inside, and then make slashes in the foam to hold the sharpened charcoals gently in place. Perhaps hollow out the foam to allow space around the tips so it doesn’t put any pressure on the most delicate part.

Anyone got any office chair recommendations? Time for an upgrade with EOFY sales. Not looking to spend crazy money, say up to $300-$350 dollars. My current chair is a cheapie from Officeworks which has served me well during the COVID years, but starting to get worn and uncomfortable.

Could I run a HDMI cable through my walls for less than the price of a cheap gaming PC?
It’s one of those things that could theoretically be a dig job. But I don’t have the tools or experience or the desire to get under the house
wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 months ago
For those that use reverse a/c for heating, what do you set the temperature to? For me it’s 21 degrees right now.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Thanks for the support yesterday everyone. I had a decent night sleep and am feeling better.
bacon@aussie.zone 5 months ago
You will find a job at another company, get a raise, and wave that stack of extra cash in their faces
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 months ago
You got this. You are actually in a stronger position now, as the comfortable lies are now off the table. Time to look for a better place.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’m glad you’re feeling better! It’s difficult to weather but you’re doing great! You will find something that pays better anyway, you got the skills that pays those bills bro. 💜
