Just got Sammi home - it’s like she’s back to normal. She actually scarfed Zooki’s roo mince which she wasn’t supposed to have, inhaled the Hills vet food that she was, used the tray and is walking around reacquainting herself with the place.
If you saw her Wednesday and then today, the only difference in her is the shaved spot where they took the bloods. Oh and no purrs - I might be on her shit list for awhile.
Anyway ultrasound Wednesday, they’re going to let me know what time.

Went to check out a school with/for the eldest minipeeler. It seems like such a great fit for him. So hard to get a school that can help him with his anxiety, school refusal and need for re-engagement. It’s a tiny school though and they have such limited places. I’m not the praying kind but I’m praying for him to get accepted. We will formally begin the application process tomorrow for next year 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Any improvement Sammi had was minimal, so I phoned the vet and they’ve admitted her for observation and further tests (including hopefully an abdominal ultrasound).
Cross fingers for us.RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago

I’m having an unbelievably hard time of life. I’m just not getting a break.
Melbcat is feeling more comfortable with adequate pain relief though, ate some wet food and is cuddling. I’m waiting for Tuesday and counting down to receiving the antibiotics

This TAFE course seems pretty fun. The wifi signal down this end of the house is abysmal though, and because the repeater I had laying around needs LoS to the router, it doesn’t actually help at all.
I was meant to do a janky under house ethernet setup today but the person I had convinced to crawl into the spiders lair (aka under the house) is sick. As soon as I do I swear I’m setting up a janky mesh network
Anyway the course seems nice. I like the diversity. There’s more people around my age than I thought there’d be, as well as a few older people. The trainer gives off nice but stern aunty vibes too, but seems sweet
Also also, every time I have to meet new people, I’m always astounded by how close my mental pictures are. Just through 1-2 emails and their name and role, I can usually figure out what they’ll look like before I ever actually meet them. It’s like a party trick at this point

Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
LOL that’s hilarious. There is actually that stray cat that everyone thinks is a massive chonker, but is actually just really floofy. It seems happy to go wherever if there’s a bit of ham involved, maybe that’s a solid idea!
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I just finished. It was nice. I still don’t really know wtaf I’m doing, and feel rather out of place, but there’s a bit of an uncontrollable smile on my face at the moment

Payday today!! I’m trying to get the enthusiasm levels up like all you Wednesday pay people from last week, but when you have a strict budget it’s all divided up and spent before you get it anyway.
It is nice seeing the car money creeping higher though - I’ve gone from “could buy another car the same as mine if I crash it” level to being able to get something that’s a bit nicer. Slowly moving towards the point I can buy a car I would actually choose to buy without being forced by the death of my current one.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Monday pay people represent! The boss does our payslip in the morning but our pays sometime during the afternoon, so it’s a small “yay” when I get the email and a bigger more relieved “YAY” when the bread is in the bag.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago
We used to get the pay slip available on the pay system some random time during the day, but there is no email or any notification so you just have to keep checking if it is there. Recently they started doing it earlier so it is there over the weekend which is much better. We have a stupidly complicated pay structure with varying penalty rates so we always have to go through and double check everything for errors (although not everyone’s math skills are up to the task, so they probably get away with a lot of mistakes).
My bank now notifies me when the actual money goes into the bank, so that is always nice to see.

This week’s shit weather is brought to you by my annual leave. Not. Happy. Jan.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago
8.5 hours straight with no lunch break (by my own choice because I didn’t want to spend even longer outside). Ugh, I had hoped it would be a short day today - it was easy at least, mostly support for someone else and driving - but just a lot of time standing around not working on my assignment, while my brain and guts are in stress overdrive again. I’m glad that my work now ends when I leave, but whose bright idea was it to reintroduce ongoing stress with uni!!!
I’m going to just eat and lie down for a bit before I attempt to do any uni stuff. I’m 70% of the way there. Just need to skim through enough articles to cite them appropriately…
oztrin@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Vet just called - as before, nothing detected in the external examination and nothing in the blood tests. They’re going to x-ray her and if nothing shows up on that, organise an ultrasound. Also they’ll give her fluids and an anti nausea injection since she has been vomiting on and off since Thursday.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 year ago
works gone to complete and utter shit. We’re being forced into this project that we all know is gonna end in a complete dumpster fire, but we (as in everyone in my department, managers included) cant do anything to stop it. Gonna chat to my boss and just say “look I cant reconcile this shit, you want it done? Fine, but I dont want to talk about it for a second more than we have to”. The greater department has this habit of turning their meetings into therapy/bitching sessions and I’m just not here for it.
Till this Project Doom is completed we’re sticking to facts any talking about it as little as possible.
thats fair enough isnt it? Honestly sat in the meeting where it was announced on seek, and I dont reckon I was alone in that.

This whole CFMEU saga is equally entertaining and concerning.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Geez this stranded astronaut thing is a schmozzle. They are doing a lot of ‘everything is fine’ PR, but it must be stressful to be stuck up there, and I’m sure there are some very tense discussions being had.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 year ago
It’s the last week of the month. If you want to change jobs now is a great time to apply for roles coming up to 14 days old

Despite being directly the in projected storm path, we were spared the brunt of it.
Wind and rain for about 15 minutes and then some small hail.
Overall, not the worst we’ve had.

One thing I’m really quite good at is packing to go on a trip really quickly. I’ve got like 3 laptops, an ipad, a 27" monitor, a media streamer, PS5 controller and all manner of cables, my clothes and my CPAP machine all fitting snuggly into my trusty suitcase. Then I have my backpack of stuff and a tote with foodstuffs and my blender. All took maybe 30-40 minutes and there was a shower in there too.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I want to know why my very top lemon, at least 2.something metres up was eaten by something (guessing a rat) and they ignored the many lower ones. Is it sport? showing off? Big respect but that would not have been easy.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 year ago
NASA has decided to get the astronauts who went up on a crippled Boeing star liner to return on a space X next year. in short: they dont trust the spacecraft for human flight. You cant write fiction funnier than this.

I was surprised by the Wattle Festival and just the sheer size of it yesterday. We only did part of the main street of Hurstbridge and we hardly got to the whole thing.

I don’t have a dog, and don’t have decent photos of the last dog I did have, but I have many photos of Toby. Toby was a dog that one of the workers at my last place used to bring in most weeks. I haven’t seen him in over a year though, but he’s a good boy.
He always looked angry, but never really acted angry. He barely even barked. Still looked like he was having some violent intrusive thoughts though
Image
Sadly I don’t think I have any photos of happy Toby, because as soon as he saw the camera, he’d turn away or put on a frown. He was a tired little guy though, and by the end of the night he’d conk out on the couch and adopt the belly rub position before going back to sleep

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
He’s very cute and also the same name of my dog.
Dogs bring smiles to people faces. ☺

I haven6got a dog but there are 3 dogs important to me. One is this guy and the other was this guy. Both dogs helped my son get over his fear of dogs. And then there was Rook, the 2ish year old jet black great Dane, who is a great big baby who lived down the road from me. Unfortunately his owners were evicted so the landlord could do extensive renovations and I don’t see him anymore 😢
