  I don’t think I’ve seen a more blatant example of main character syndrome than seeing real estate agents putting themselves into videos showing the house they’re selling.

  And I don’t mean talking about the house. They’re in the video sitting on the couch or opening the door to enter with all this dramatic music playing, or staring out from the balcony all reflective and stuff.

  Good lord.

    They know they add no actual value to the house, so they need validate themselves by adding perceived value.

      I’ll have to see if I can find it but I remember seeing one near my place where the person (not sure if agent or owner) was sitting in the bath tub, topless on the bed (facing away). Absolutely bizarre behaviour

      Thanks :) Honestly the whole thing really took off when I put the watering system in (wasn’t even expensive). I am now a true believer that regular watering on a timer does wonders.

  GP check up and blood test results said plenty of sunshine, a nice fat piece of steak, and steroid cream

  Probably having my final assessment for my new role today, to see if they’ll set me loose on the general public. Has been three weeks training so far. I am exhausted. I’ve been up since 2.30 tossing and turning stressing about it, picturing scenarios in my head etc. I’ll get other chances if I don’t pass but would be nice to rip the band aid off

  Tonight’s mood booster is some peri peri mock-chicken strips bought on a whim yesterday. I shall throw a zucchini in there for helth, and half an onion, and… idk. Eat it with rice… cooked in broth! With cloves and cardamom! (I highly recommend the latter for really elevating even the simplest rice dish.)

  Also just remembered I stress-bought frozen dumplings last night. I’m set for lunch tomorrow, woohoo!

    cardamom

    Any time people go heavy on cardamom I is always a fan.

      I use it in pasta dishes too. so good.

  Haven’t had the heart to tell my supervisor at this job that I’m seriously mentally struggling atm. I’m off for a week from Friday night so I feel like I should see how I go with that before I go any further. I think I’m going to have to leave one of my jobs and cut down my overall hours to make this work, but it’s really bad timing in terms of workload…

      They are. I try to keep a clean garden. :)

      One thing that has happened tho is since I stopped feeding birds there has been an explosion of aphids, I stopped because my neighbour didn’t like the mess.

      I’m going to feed them again.

    How’s the little one doing?

    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      He’s fine. Spent most of the day gaming and chilling. Doses of panadol and nurofen kept the fever down. Coughs a bit, but okay.

      And little is kind of misleading…he’s nearly 15 and 6 ft tall 😂

  Spent a few hours last night on the couch in cosy pyjamas, under a soft blanket, ignoring the world and watching a new (to me) K Drama. Followed by one of the most solid sleeps I’ve had in a long, long time. Not feeling any better about being at work today, but at least it was a nice evening.

      Uh yeah, the theme this year is “Dark Matter” so had to get a fake tree this time because I need black. A 7 foot black Bavarian. Disco balls, laser light and so on will be involved. It’s a massive day for me.

  One more assignment to do and that’s another 2 units down. I wanted to get it done this week but I have to wait for the results of my previous assignment which release on Monday to do it because I need to use the feedback I received.

  It gives me one week to get it done. It’s only 800 words but I like having assignments done with time to spare…just in case so one week is giving me the twitches.

  Our hard rubbish has been collected this morning. Other suburbs in the same municipality get a rubbish week where everyone puts theirs out for collection, but for some reason in our suburb we have to book twice a year. I hate it, would much prefer a week where everyone does it. Last year someone came and dumped extra stuff on our pile, so the council tried to tell us that because it was over 2 cubic metres (or something) that counted as two collections 🙄😒
