Mr P finally tested negative this morning. I’m off back to work, broke as a joke! Wish they hadn’t taken away sick pay for casuals, would’ve really helped. I know you get paid a little extra and you’re meant to tuck it away in case you get sick, but in a single income family that ain’t happening.

“Eat my fuck” is a delicious phrase that I don’t hear enough of.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I love telling people to ‘eat my fuck’ and watch get offended and confused.

😝 The Daily Chair. I gave the chair a rub down using the finest sandpaper and then applied the 3rd coat with long strokes being careful for drips.
It’s look so glossy and awesome. Can’t wait to use it on a daily basis. 🙂

I may have got 92 on my last assignment, but I could raygun this current one. NFI what I am doing.

That’s me usually. Chat gpt is good for prompts so you can get your bum in the right direction.

Great Ted Cat update.
Ted asked to have his face brushed and the rest of him brushed too. He likes it and I think he sees the need for it. Sadly he isn’t a low maintenance Neeb he’s a high maintenance Blue Himalayan, which explains his very cute face.
He has knots that we are working on. 😿

Hooray that’s the last happy bubble for the retaining wall. Fuck me I need another radox bath I’m not built for that.
I thought I was okay fit but that thing broke me.
Taleya@aussie.zone 8 months ago
but then after you’ve had a cuppa and a sit you wander out to look at it and its’ a rippa.
Did you need to agi behind it?

Very thankfully no :) Dodged a bullet there.

• Movie was good
• I did not understand the nerdy plot
• I do not understand the rules of the multiverse.
• My brain hurts
• Good jokesMeanElevator@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Deadpool and Wolverine?
It helps if you’ve been following the Marvel universe, but the movie did a good job with exposition I think.
Very entertaining flick.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Yeah Deadpool and Wolverine. I went in a virgin and came out none the wiser. I did laugh lots though.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 8 months ago
• I do not understand the rules of the multiverse.
Thats kind of the point. I think they might’ve even mentioned that in the film haha
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Hahaha. Whoosho on my part then.

Learning modules through work are always a terrible experience. Why are they so clunky and difficult to use? They could just be forms with embedded images and videos
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
State government ones are pretty bad as well, so much time wasting and they require you to click everything on the page to even be allowed to proceed to the next slide.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I did accessibility testing on some when I worked at the DET. They were so bad. All I had to do is be able to use a screen reader and TAB through all the options, so many failed at that.
Apparently accessibility needs to be scoped into these things from the start, they don’t build them with those features in mind

Contact MSO with your concerns. You’re not even a regular poster here.

Oh shit sorry mate, I didn’t know this was the “regulars” club!
Muppet.
neurospice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
You’re not even a regular poster here.
I didn’t think this community was this quick to gatekeep. I’ve seen them comment here before, but gatekeeping someone’s opinion based on how much they post here is absurd.
but when a new poster pops by with a vague pro-palestine message I assume you’re not interested in this community and simply looking to spread your message.
And what would that message be? Genocide bad? I’m not a new poster here and if I comment a pro-palestine message would you assume the same? It’s disheartening to see this thread have so many downvotes and this argument, almost so much as the MSO’s statement the other day.

I presume there is something that happened recently I have missed, or is this just a random expression of general orchestral hatred?

Despite mrs b’s lack of enthusiasm, and a little bit more lenience from her than I would like I’ve gotta say the bedtime routine seems to be working a lot better with the kid. That’s night 2 he’s gone down after 2 stories without it being a shit fight. And we’re only 3 days into the routine.

Got my lighter doona out tonight, guess I’m going to play the doona swap game for the rest of spring.
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I’m way ahead of you.
I was playing doona swap last night and the night before.
Didn’t sleep till 2am :(
wscholermann@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I woke up at about 2 am overheated. Did fall back to sleep, somewhat…
Dark circles under my eyes today though.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Throw a blanket over the doona. Easier to take that on or off as required.
Baku@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I realised I haven’t had Vegemite in a long time. I’m ashamed to admit it, but it’s been about 1-2 years since I last had it. I remedied that with some Vegemite toast. I dont usually eat breakfast, but sometimes you just need that nice kick to start the day. And it’s useful because it’s actually got some food value, especially with wholemeal or high fibre bread. Unlike most cereals which are essentially just flavoured sugar
Baku ♥️ vegemite
Eagle@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I have vegemite every day! It’s the breakfast of champions, although mine is on a home made spelt sourdough.
Baku@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Sourdough 🤤🤤🤤🤤
I only have sourdough on a fancy day when I get eggs Benny from a nice cafe. There’s one near be that does a bleeding Jane one or something like that. Basically just eggs Benedict, but they put sriracha in the eggs and over the top. Pretty good with a tall OJ!
Nath@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I love Vegemite on a crumpet. Perfect 10pm snack.

I got some bad news from the TAFE company. Apparently they’ve run out of funded places for the course I wanted to take, but I was able to get a place before they did. Unfortunately apparently without as many free TAFE people, and the absence of many paying people, they don’t have enough people to start the course anymore. Is this a normal thing in the TAFE world? It sounds odd
They offered me a few other options. There’s a few courses I could switch to, notably a dual cert IV in community services + AOD. I was planning on taking a dual IV in AOD + Mental health next year, so I’m open to the option, but I’m not confident I have the skills and capacity to do that. It’s still 1 night a week, but 3 hours instead of 2, and for 15 months.
The other 3 options are essentially all variations for cancelling in some capacity. I can either go take an induction to community services course, which doesn’t really give me anything, although I can then do a credit transfer in a cert III/IV, or I can cancel and find a different provider (I have not sentimentalities for these ones, they were just the first one suggested to me and seemed decent enough), or I can cancel and go on a waitlist for their next cert III, probably next year
StudChud@aussie.zone 8 months ago
That’s nuts. I’m sorry Baku. Idk what the right solution is, but if it were me, I’d just cancel and find a different institution.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Is this a bigger place (like Box Hill, holmsglen, Swinburne etc) If so ask them about advice on alternate courses and could they help you enrol at another institution, seeing as they cancelled the course. No guarantee they will say yes, but hopefully they may be able to help. No harm in asking. But from your previous comments though, sounds like there was lots of stuffing around anyway, so I’m wondering if it was a smaller organisation or private college? If so, probably for the best. You might have dodged a bullet on having a bad experience, they sound very disorganised. Use your motentum to find an enrolment elsewhere. You got this! It’s just a blip, don’t let it get in the way of your goals.
Eagle@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Is there another training organisation in your area offering the course you want? Because I say go for it, you’re ready to do it so get it happening.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Apparently I need multifocals now? Rip my bank account
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Welcome to the multi club! An infinate array of focus options, none of which will ever seem to be quite right. Plus, as a bonus, you have an increased likelihood of peering down your nose at random items you hold out at arms length whilst still failing to see them clearly.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 8 months ago
That is the thing! I feel like the focus won’t be right.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 8 months ago

If you have health insurance with some extras it might help slightly with reducing the cost.

F yeah found a final breakfast burrito pack in the freezer. Lunch just went from “meh” to exciting.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Muscle memory is a heck of a thing hey. I got a coffee at the drive through, used my right hand to put it in the cup holder so used my left foot to go for the break, my brain recoiled cause I guess it was expecting a clutch to go all the way to the floor. Looked down at the gear selector and there was a 3 second delay (though it felt like an eternity) where my brain goes “P? D?! the fuck is this, what do I do?” before it finally clicks and go “oh. Select D you idiot”.
2 years we’ve had some form of auto car now, and for 10 months its been my primary daily driver.
Eagle@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I’ve been in an auto for 10 years. Some days I still push the clutch in at the roundabout near home.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 8 months ago
There has been night roadworks near me, and my sister was complaining of a high pitched noise coming from drilling. I didn’t hear it until she pointed it out. Even though her room is close to mine and we share a wall, I can hear it louder in there.

After waking up in a 10-13 degree room for the last week or few, it’s been nice to wake up and it’s still 18-19. I’ve even been able to put the electric blanket down to low again!
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I kept changing my blankets over last night because it was so warm, finally got some decent sleep at around 2am.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I am sold on BG3, thanks people. Unfortunately though, I went to buy the game and the payment was not going through. So I’ve decided to wait a while and then hopefully next time it will work. Delayed gratification for the win :)
StudChud@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It’ll be worth it!
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I hope to get BG3 sometime later this year. Hopefully at a discount.

You know how hungry + angry = hangry? Is there a version for hungry + sad? Like I have just felt low key sad all afternoon because I didn’t eat enough for brunch. Deprived. Living off digestives until I could get home and eat dinner.
tone212_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
The warm sun streak ends tomorrow. Sigh, it was nice to feel like I was in a warm exotic location, being able to wear shorts without being cold, no heating required, did wonders for my mood.

@Seagoon_
I am a newbie to the fediverse and a mastodon user, so I can't see the original lemmy topic. just chiming in to say I am fascinated by the restraint of the combatants over legitimacy on the turf. I am not quite sure how one participates in the fediverse without comments. I can see how this would be considered interjections by some, not always welcome.bacon@aussie.zone 8 months ago

The delicious scented jasmine seduced me on my walk yesterday.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 8 months ago
The one plant I have vetoed for our garden, to my wife’s dismay.
It’s a choice between me being able to breathe and see, or the jasmine.
Of course, it took her wayyy too long to come to a decision about how to proceed though… 😆
Catfish@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Jasmine looks pretty, but I can’t disassociate the smell with urinal cakes
