Wait - the guy who writes books is good at writing assignments? Who could have predicted this plot twist?
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm actually terrible at writing assignments (Iâm about a 70-75 average student), but this was a video assignment so even worse.

On the train last night some guy kept sneezing next to me without covering his mouth and now Iâm sick.
I went to the office and let my manager know and she said to go home. Which was really nice.
Teams meetings all day tomorrow anyway, just didnât want to be away from work. The difference between sectors is dramatic.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I got up and walked away from someone on the ferry who kept coughing wetly. I can only hope she was recovering from something, but I was not taking the risk.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm still piiiiiiiiised about when my expensive trip to Mildura was ruined by some lady who was coughing all weekend. I think I ended up with a combination of food poisoning and the cold while stranded hundreds of KMs from home in almost the middle of nowhere.
sick
Throwing up into a rubbish bag on a bus is not good. Fucking horrendous experience.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I still see far too much of this in public, and it makes me mad, especially as someone who hasnât been able to work for the past week from covid. Some people either learnt nothing from the last few years or simply donât give a damn and it shows.
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Fkn ferals! Crawling all over the trains and trams, coughing and snuffling, wiping their faces with their hands and smearing it everywhere like angry monkeys throwing their shit.
Why donât the Geneva Conventions on Biological warfare extend to the common disease-ridden citizen?
Donât even get me started on buses.

Iâll grab this đ¤§đĽ sneezed on baguette in a go bag đ just in case I need a sick day myself soon.

For you Chef.

the perfect combination of nutrients! thank you
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Hope you feel better soon. Hereâs some brandy which will help if itâs an upset tum (or so my mum used to say). It will at least distract you for a bit if nothing else đĽđ
bacon@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thank you. I hope my staff behave while I am distracted.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oh noe! Chef, here is some herbal tea, soup and pills to help you feel better. đđđđđ¸đľ

Is the general experience today feeling tired?
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
More like bleeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh/bored.
But I am also tired.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I slept in until the middle of the day and I still feel a little underbaked
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Your prescription is to go out and enjoy some sun tomorrow.
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I hope itâs only because I had a bad sleep.
Hope I havenât caught covid or something.

Rejected for a job because I was basically too good (?), but theyâve invited me to apply for a more senior role coming up next month. Not really sure what to do with this information.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
at which point theyâll tell you that you donât have enough experience for the senior role. Why? Cause theyâre fuckers.
Least thats my experience.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
The more senior role is very similar to my last job, but yep, every chance thereâll be another amazing candidate so Iâm certainly not holding my breath.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs great they offered to put you forward for another position. Iâve had that excuse and no one knows what to do, like âso you donât want to employ competent people?â
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Hullo from Auckland!! Spent the day trying surprisingly mediocre wine with a group of fun people from right across the globe! I am surprisingly exhausted!
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I care so little for US politics and I am already tired of hearing about that train wreck, despite actively avoiding it. I figured it must be close to the election so I googled it.
We got another 3 months of this.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I was absolutely here prior to âthe changeâ and now Iâm all here for it. It went from âgood guys gonna get smashedâ to âHoly shit good guys are gonna win and bad guys gonna get their asses kickedâ. Love a come from behind story.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I loved the Olympics even more because of this. 2 weeks of barely hearing about it was bliss.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I wish Americans would stop this whole superiority complex thing they have, and acting like everybody needs to know about it
Chief. Your country is falling apart, basically a 3rd world country with rich white people, and you literally had Trump as president. Nobody else gives a fuck about who wins your shitty little race race. Your country is beyond repair either way. Also, US politics arenât the default politics, and the US isnât the default country đ¤ˇââď¸

Today is dragging like crazy.
How is it not even 11 am? (Posting this at 10:50)
Office is less busy than usual toi
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâve had 2 meetings that have dragged like you wouldnt believe which really isnt helping! âOk if there isnt any more questionsâŚ?â âOh, Iâve got one!â Bro how about you sit down and shut the f up. You dont need 15 of us in this meeting to ask this question.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
We also have someone who does that in meetings, and itâs just
STOP. TALKING. NOW!!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I have one of those this afternoon⌠already dreading it
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I know right? Itâs really going slowly and I feel like crap today.
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yup, woke up super early and now Iâm drained af. Might take a nap and then do my writing for my prac assessments.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Miniest testing negative for covid đŞđź my test still very faintly positive. Mr Pâs test still strongly positive and he is spewinâ about it. The first to get it and spread it to us is still positive, he really thought heâd be in the clear by now. But heâs the oldest and a smoker, which I think must be a factor in his slow recovery? Ran out of tests so will have to test Elder when the ones I ordered arrive this arvo.
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
There was some silly article years ago about how being a smoker (tobacco or weed) could help against covid.
I called bullshit and Iâm pretty sure itâs been disproven too lol. Guarantee you his smoking is prolly why itâs harder for him to get over it (as a flip-flopping quitter)
AJSadauskas@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Given Mr Peeler kept walking through the living room for a ciggie, in this case it sounds like it wasnât the smoker who got sicker â it was everyone else!
Anyways, fantastic news that youâre all starting to recover đ

s2g if they wanted to fix the state deficit, put fucking ticket cops on chesterville road. The number of defects and speeding fines would buy us a whole new rail system.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I did a 5 year stint in st Albans, and it was always funny seeing how many people would run the red light, or speed, along Taylorâs Rd, particularly at the Arthur Street intersection. Never really saw cops around much either. I liked to tell people whoâd never been to st Albans before that it was because the last time cops tried to park up and fine people, the kids in the area through rocks at their windows, and then we all teamed up and tipped their cop car over. I think the more depressing reality is that there were probably only 5 cops at Keilor Downs police station, and most of them were preoccupied with domestic violence calls, and the resulting paperwork. Ironically Taylorâs Rd is the nicer end of town, too
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâve caught the today-is-dragging-itis bug. Far out Iâm soooo done for the day. Bleurgh. I have to do a stupid employee goals thing too. urrrghghvbggvbfgj
Also really sleepy as I was up late helping a mate with their job application. It was actually my dream job, but Iâm not in a position to have such a big change right now⌠and I think this person is a better candidate anyway. Certainly makes me think of where I could be in the future though
mysticgreg@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oh man, employee goals crap is the worst. I used to take them seriously, but after a decade at my current employer theyâve proven that theyâre not worth a damn. NOBODY here takes them seriously any more, even my manager acknowledges itâs all worthless and any goals or aspirations or training plans or targets will be ignored by the powers that be anyway. Itâs just a box ticking exercise here.
Also, what a great friend you are to have that kind of attitude and put that effort in helping someone get YOUR dream job! I just hope you donât sell yourself short, make sure you shoot for something similar when the timing IS right!
Now I believe itâs time to will this clock into turning faster so that I can go homeâŚ
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Lol, turns out even my supervisor has no idea there were these employee goal things so it really is a total box ticking exerciseâŚ
Aw thanks, thatâs really nice of you re: job. Itâs just been bad timing that this job was advertised when it was. I absolutely canât sacrifice my last shot at finishing this degree (would need to start redoing subjects otherwise) and I know I simply canât handle the chaos of transitioning jobs moving forward. I like that my existing jobs are somewhat braindead which leaves me more space to work with uni, life, etc. Whereas Iâd be burning the candle at both ends wanting to put in 110% at the job while also finishing uni. I also needed some down time professionally after my last job.
Iâll definitely be putting in for jobs like that once I wrap up uni mid next year!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago

Shout out to my goodest girl: the Staffy X Kelpie. Iâm trying a new walking technique to reduce the pulling cause its all gotten a bit shit since kiddo joined us. She was always the better of the 2 dogs but with the new technique she had it dialed in within like 5 minutes. She was a nightmare on a lead when we got her so to see the progress she has made was just been awesome.
The other dog we wont be talking about here.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I donât know much about dogs. But I saw a harness where the leash attached at the front of the dogâs chest, presumably to awkwardly turn them back around each time they pulled.
Is that a thing?
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
At the reception for my CT and there is no one here lol.
Least I went private so I got an appt real quick, but itâs like a ghost town in here đą
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I dropped my phone in a public toilet this morning. I wonât share the gory details. I just thought you fine people should know.
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I struggled to get home this afternoon. I kept wanting to fall asleep as I was driving home.
Made it home through had a wash then flopped on my bed and fell asleep until now.
I think my blanket last night was too warm for me so Iâm going to change it out for a few days as itâs been warmer.
Anyway making some garlic bread now.
Hungry!

So tired today so I took the day off. Allergies I think, my terrace is covered in pollen dust and my nose tickles as soon as I go out there.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I have a sore throat and a headache. Fun times. Plus side I guess is that I donât have anything on till this Arvo, so I can do a sleep in. But I got absorbed into a the YouTube âdocumentaryâ about YouTube drama. Oddly fascinating. Like watching a train wreck
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
My headache resolved itself with a sleep. My sore throat regrettably didnât. I did too much raised voicing yesterday

To balance last weeks good luck getting third in line at the food market, today I got third last. I ended up with three parsnips so will have to do lots of roast vegie dishes. Also a leek and some potatoes, which would be much better news if it was still soup weather.

Thereâs just something that hits different doing Duolingo with music in the background, the music dims when the Duolingo audio comes on and then when the audio stops, the music returns to full volume.

I⌠Did not realise they got Eli Roth to direct the Borderlands film⌠And they made it⌠PG13???
Iâm sorry, the guy who directed, produced, and wrote: Cabin Fever, Hostel I and II, and The Green Inferno, did a PG13 adaption of motherfucking BORDERLANDSâ˝
