Shout out to the legend trying to intimidate me in his new Audi this morning. Bruh Iâm in a shitbox hatchback missing more paint than I have emotional issues, you really think Iâm scared of you hitting my car? Its 6am, windy AF and Iâm doing the limit. The threat of you scratching your +100k car against my 7k (If that!) car aint the threat you think it is.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Hey now, you donât how stressful his high powered and important life is. Do you know how expensive Audis are and how much bullshit one hast to put up with to afford one??
Next time, get out of his (yeah thatâs rightâŚHIS) lane and carry on with your lowly non-Audi-owning life.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Bro is game even driving it around my suburb. I mean its not fankston, but weâve got more commodores with exhausts cut off than we do BMWs. Dunno whos worse, the teens fanging it or the soccer mums in huge SUVs they never quite mastered.

Must have been the same one riding my backside on the way home. Ugh.

Good Lord, this headache is so painful. Paracetamol doesnât touch it, waiting for my partner to come back with some ibuprofen.
Stupid motherfucking teeth grinding. My whole head is throbbing đ
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
you can get ibuprofen + paracetamol tablets now, and paracetamol + caffeine.
guessing the migraine havers are in power now lol
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago

Paracetamol doesnât really affect me, after I tried to off myself with it. I take one, if I have nothing else, but itâs mostly for the placebo affect and I tend to avoid it anyway.
Ibuprofen has helped though!
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Ugh Iâm so guilty of this too. I had a filling that hurt a little bit, and for some reason, whenever thereâs any pain in my teeth, my immediate subconscious instinct is to bite down on the teeth that are hurting
Hugs and hope the ibuprofen helps, and your head feels better soon. I ran out of Nurofen, and swallowable paracetamol, so Iâve been using the aldi âhedanolâ recently, which starts dissolving as soon as it touches the sweat and oils in my hand đ
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
If you can get to a chemist, try something called âmaxigesicâ. Take 2, lay down and put your thumbs gently behind your neck
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Two tennis balls in a sock actually hit the spots on the average neck juuust right
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
heat back can help. Can also hurt but if its throbbing maybe worth a try?

My neighbour is watering and swearing his head off cause the water is going everywhere but his lawn.
I should note, the lawns are still damp from the rainfall last night.

Just took Sammi for her ultrasound - poor love hadnât been herself all yesterday to the point where I phoned the vet again - they suggested admitted her overnight but there wouldnât have been anyone there so I decided to keep her home. Wise choice - the wind woke us both up at 3 and she was straight off with the snuggles and purrs and this morning she was demanding breakfast - unfortunately I couldnât give her it since itâs a fasting procedure.
Now having a coffee and cake in Mentone while I wait for the school traffic to clear.Eagle@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago

I was convinced I was gonna walk out to find the pergola gone. It was built by an idiot before we brought the dump so its not exactly structurally sound.

Well⌠itâs in. The assignment is in - but I feel so thoroughly muted about it because it turns out my supervisor had to go through what Iâd written with a lot of red ~ink~ pixels and rewrite a chunk of it. He wasnât at all trying to put me down, if anything just help me so Iâd get this across the line, but I feel like I have such a long, long, long way to go and I might have bitten off more than I can chew. I really feel quite low about how limited my brain capacity is compared to 5 years ago. Would love to have some kind of win this week to feel better about myself :(
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
As counter-intuitive as it sounds having a supervisor being that interested in laying down a lot of red⌠is a win :)
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I agree, itâs a win.
two things are worse than having someone help edit
someone who gives praise and does nothing when it really does need help
someone who puts down for no reason when the work is perfectly fine
but i get it, itâs a bit of an ego bruise
hugs
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
For sure, I have been very lucky to have a supportive mentor, I just feel like Iâve failed him (and myself) a bit - but better not to dwell on it, onward we go, even if the end result isnât really ground breaking or entirely my idea, Iâll have learned something from it I hope.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
so many hugs, sounds like you need a holiday
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I really was hoping to go visit my aunt at the end of the month for a break + TLC but it seems like she might have other plans (lots going on in her life as well). I might head to my hidey hole in NSW if she isnât available. I really would like to unplug for a bit
oztrin@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Outcome of the ultrasound with Sammi - no obvious tumours or obstruction. Enlarged lymph nodes in her stomach, so they want to proceed with the other ultrasound and take some samples. Meanwhile sheâs home alert and hungry.
In other news there was a three vehicle stack in the middle of Main Street Mordialloc on the way home. Hopefully itâs cleared by nowâŚSeagoon_@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
so many hugs, hope she gets better soon

A person with the surname âHandsâ logged a ticket today saying âCould you please assist me with [blahblahblah]â and I feel like that is todays greatest missed opportunity.

Got to my early morning grocery delivery before the birds this morning. It was out there for 15 minutes so they must have been busy
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I got one of those mealy box things denigrated in the 12am-8am about. It was 11:30 and still hadnât been put on their truck, so I figured it was gonna be more of a 5/6am delivery and went to sleep. Then at 7 I woke up, and saw a text from 12:23 telling me it had been delivered đ
Luckily the ice block kept out cool enough I wasnât too worried, but Iâm never making that mistake again!
tombruzzo@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
The gel stuff they use in those deliveries stays cold for a really long time. Theyâre all enclosed as well so youâll get no birds in there

really long safety+organisation+life+mental health uodates
Todayâs the 50th day since I returned and found all the damage and theft of my belongings. Theyâve just about all been replaced now, thereâs a couple of cables Iâve noticed missing, and one of the replacement things didnât include a cable, but thatâs about it. They installed that gate thingy, but forgot to get the parts they need to make it actually work. Itâs on un-detachable gears and pulleys, so itâs basically stuck open and doesnât do anything. They measured all the door frames (most of them are cracked from where he fucked around with the locks), but apparently the tradie man forgot how to measure properly, so he came to redo it today. ALLEGEDLY someone will be out to install new door frames and such tomorrow, but thereâs probably no guarantees on that. They seem confused about if thatâs actually happening or not. Apparently theyâre installing proper security cameras tomorrow, and apparently on Friday the locksmith will come past to fix the shed lock. AFAIK the deadbolt for the front door was knocked back, but itâs not that bad I suppose as the screen door essentially functions as an external deadbolt. I always lock that, so itâs fine. Iâm worried that once that change the doors and door frames though, theyâll also change the locks to shitty ones that locksmith referred to as ânight locksâ. Theyâre easily opened by shimmering a butter knife down the side, or honestly even giving it a firm shoulder (it doesnât even damages the lock, because it barely sits in there!). Donât know what in house safety thatâll leave me, except to hope and prey they donât move another drop kick in. The program manager has been on âunplanned personal leaveâ for 2 or 3 weeks at this point. Not sure whatâs happened, she was just here one day and then hasnât come back since. The âcase management practitioner supervisorâ has been talking at me a lot. She gives kind of assistant manager vibes. Doesnât have a whole lot of say in anything, so compensates by having little ego and power trips. The bloke above her, the regional manager, doesnât seem that bad kind of, heâs so far maintained a professional demeanor with me, but heâs not too keen on doing very much and acts a lot more like a penny pinching CEO than anything else. The org case manager took an âunplanned half dayâ on Monday, and no showed to a meeting we had scheduled. I, along with the 11 other people attending the meeting, just had to chill in the teams waiting room (which I super wish allowed cross-attendee conversations), and after about 15 minutes I ended up being the one to tell everyone the meeting had been cancelled and telling them they could leave. Even though I wasnât running the damn thing. On the DL, it seems that most of my care team and workers are all pretty pissed about the way things are running. Apparently they cancelled another meeting a week prior with 15 minutes notice. I took to calling the âcase management practitioner supervisorâ (who seems to do more than supervise, and is temporarily program managing too), every single day about the security gate and other arrangements. Iâm super pissed about it, it feels like theyâve kind of relegated my safety to concern number #45. Thereâs still no active protection keeping me safe, and Iâm still here on my own. It also feels horrific that the other dude seems to get off on intimidation more than anything else, and nothingâs actually been done to stop that. The cops havenât followed up about him tearing up the lawn, or the theft and damage, the gate is still non functional, the gate still doesnât have a lock (besides my unapproved padlocks). I still freak out and spiral into a panic everytime I hear a particularly loud motorcycle, and I check my cameras at every noise. I still have a constant fear that heâs somehow inside the house, and I still wake up at 2 or 3am in a sweat with a looming sense of terror that somebody is standing over me. In the last couple of weeks, I seem to have a lot of repressed rage that sometimes bubbles up. Iâm usually able to keep it repressed, but every couple of days, something minor seeming will happen and ploop Iâm in a blind rage. That was the main reason for taking my Lemmy break, I donât want to run the risk of that happening on some unsuspecting soul here. Iâm seeing a psych weekly (her suggestion + child protection is paying the gap, and will pick up the rest of the costs for 6 months until I turn 18). Itâs helping, but the primary focus has been on other things, with this as secondary. Tafe has been a useful distraction. Being completely dumbfounded about how their LMS works, and how different it is from high school has been a useful distraction from everything else. Besides that, Iâve been trying to throw myself into my projects, but some of them just annoyed me too much so I temporarily gave up.

Cat rambles
Melbcat got her antibiotics yesterday! Now I have to wrestle her (gently) to ensure she swallows the weird banana flavoured liquid. I am deeply unpopular for a few minutes afterwards (until itâs time to cuddle again). If the infection reoccurs after this she may be referred to a specialist to check for underlying causes.
Iâve got a smaller sketchbook and am using just a normal pencil sharpened in a standard way, and am using it to scribble for art exercises. Iâm also doing multiple tiny drawings on one page just so it doesnât take forever to get an idea down or finish.
I really donât have a lot of spare energy to create so trying to lose the perfectionism and do structured doodles is probably the only way I would get anything done.

Update - there was a miscommunication and Sammi was booked for next Wednesday for her ultrasound. Fortunately they do have an in-house machine and one of the vets is very proficient in its use, so just waiting to hear the outcome of that.
Meanwhile took Zooks in later to see the senior vet as her ears have been rashy and he suggested (with Sammi) that it may have been gastro, and since she does like raw chicken⌠itâs possible. Meanwhile I have to give Zooks eardrops for a week. Wish me luckâŚTinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
