Patiently waiting for you to unbox it so she can fill it with TP

Iâm making her a castle lol

A CATalyst amp box is perfect for Gibson
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Just grabbed a 2nd amp so I can have a stereo guitar setup!
I promise, this is very exciting lol
mysticgreg@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I think one of your Gibsons may be a little⌠unhappy?.. if you tried to connect them to an amp :D

Sneaky resident magpie stealing my chip just before.
The resident mudlark rocked up but this magpie just goes to town on it. Tonight mags did exactly that but still holding the chip in its beak. So lucky that bird and I are on very good terms. So highly aggressive but just not to me. Dogs, cats, other birds, people she doesnât recognise it just goes flat out at them. I like her. Sheâs the protector. She earned that chip.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Magpies are the mob, that chip is the protection money you paid her

I went to Coles deli today and because I donât go by weight I usually just say âa big handful of that thanks mateâ. He was a dude with giant hands and I came out with 434gms of chorizo salami. Itâs really good chorizo though. No complaints.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
As a person with big hands, I have the opposite issue⌠Just a bit more thanks
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I think he took it as a personal challenge because he laughed and Iâve never seen him even smile before.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I got my hair cut and beard trimmed today so I look normal. My dad was always telling me to get it cut and thereâs too much at stake, so I donât want anything being a potential obstacle to another job.
And I think I might look alright? Iâve lost some hair and pretty much always had it tied back, so Iâm not sure if Iâd grow it out again when shit gets stable
dumblederp@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I recently got the âyes boss, Iâm a functional adult you can hire.â haircut.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
No one buys the excuse, âI look like shit because Iâm so busy workingâ
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Love me guys with long hair in ponytails tbh. Defo grow it back out when youâre stable!!
tombruzzo@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I liked the idea of long hair but was never completely happy with mine. I felt like it was curly in the wrong way and just felt like a lot of work to maintain for someone that didnât want to put the effort in.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I love that martial artist man bun/ponytail thing some men do.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Iâm sure youâre looking fresh! I always feel great after a haircut, and walk around more confident for a couple days đ
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I just want to shout out to the teenagers emerging from the bushes after a bit of âFunâ at the park yesterday. Iâm pretty sure Iâm the only one who clicked what was going on, dont worry. I didnât see anything NSFW, but dude you cant stagger out like your 10 tons lighter and have your girl emerge 5 seconds later adjusting her dress. Man teenagers are idiots hey.
Pilk@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Ah to be young again
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
You know, I ALMOST miss hanging out at maccas till 3am in bayswater and having fun in the back seat of a commodore or falcon.
Almost. not quite.
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
booo. Woke up with my heart pumping and feeling anxious. I guess I need to start actively incorporating relaxation techniques again.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Hugs.
Iâm sorry youâre going through alot of shit right now.
One thing I like to do to de-stress is to write things down. Lists upon list. Mark things off. Add things. It helps to declutter my mind while actively getting things done.
I hope you find solutions to your troubles âĽ
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Iâve been there, ugh. Gentle hugs. I used to wake up around 1:30-2am for some reason with my heart pounding. For some reason it helped me to ask myself, âwhat exactly am I anxious about and can I do anything about it right now?â Itâs an awful feeling for sure.
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Added fun if youâre afab: if you have no stressors youâre aware of, go see a doctor. Feelings of dread and heart racing can be indicative of cardio problems, we present differently to amabs
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Big news. The deep sinkhole around the Telstra pit next door is finally getting fixed - three years after the plastic board was bolted to the ground. Nice bloke doing the fixing said that Telstra has QUADRUPLED the number of contractors hired to fix problems, and increased the managers that allocate/organise fixes from 7 to 26!!! Apparently if you SnapSendSolve a problem itâll be done within a week - faster if someone has tripped or fallen. I will be very interested to see if this outbreak of efficiency lasts.
FunkyClown@lemmy.world â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Hopefully somebody eventually fixes all the âtemporaryâ yellow plastic board coverings on High St. they have been there since before Covid from memory.

I sent my biggest new client proposal today (in terms of dollar value) since starting this little insignificant business of mine. I thought it would take years before Iâd be pitching to someone like this, but a few things lined up to get this opportunity. Spent hours thinking over the pricing to quote, resisting the urge to quote cheap just to get in the work. Iâm not about being the very cheapest, because I take pride in what I do and doing to well. But also Iâm a one-man show so I need to be realistic on what people are going to pay for me vs bigger businesses. They probably come to me expecting cheaper. Pricing for work sucks.
Fingers crossed they go ahead! It will keep me busy for a bit.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
This pollen, be evil.
Nath@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Indeed. I was a (minor) victim of Pollenpocalypse in Melbourne. I was still having breathing issues a month later. I miss some things about Melbourne, but the pollen and associated breathing issues are not among them.
tone212_@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Iâm trying not to pop a hayfever tablet every day because they still work for me.

Itâs been an absolute shit of a day except for getting the amp.
Thank fuck for music to de-stress.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Whatâs your rig look like now?
Pilk@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Popped into the new QV Five Guys. First of all, I canât believe Americans eat like this. There were enough fries in their smallest serving to comfortably feed a family of four, with leftovers for the next day. It looks expensive compared to other burger places but itâs probably fairly equivalent if you price it by weight. The fries and Cajun seasoning on them were so good. The burgers come with two patties; it took all my strength to push through the meat sweats to finish the last 20% of mine.
Overall, the fries were definitely a winner. Iâd choose Huxtaburger over this if I was really craving a burg, even if the serving size there is smaller for the same price. I might be tempted to return for a milkshake or hotdog but maybe after a week or two recovery period. In the mean time think I need a shower. đŽâđ¨
Zansuvobr@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I put on a lot of weight after living in the US for the first few years. They have such a great selection of junk food outlets. I made a commitment to eat at least once at each one. Then it took me five years to get my weight back down again.

Holy shit! Please tell me they are jelly shots?

If you could pass a few of those jelly cups throw the crack of the door I would appreciate that.

A friend gave me 1 kilo of mud cake. Iâve had 2 slices. Approx 950 grams to go.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Very not looking forward to this week of work. Doing the latest possible shift, 1230 to 8.30. then week after that back to 8am to 4pm, much better.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Good Night everyone. đ Sweet dreams.
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Been awhile but it looks like Iâve got lunch with my dad on Thursday.
Maybe I didnât plan it out so well since I had planned to do my grocery shop that morning.
Itâll be good to catch up with him. Havenât seen him in months.
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
One out of three stressful things done - training and exam (that I didnât study for at all, but I use the stuff frequently at work and excel at multiple choice exams so Iâm confident Iâll pass).
Also finally got my licence photo taken after procrastinating till the last minute. Donât want to acknowledge how much older and more stressed out I look after ten years 𼲠my old photo is one of the best ID photos Iâve ever had.
Next up: last day at lesser job tomorrow with lots if tidying up and handovers. And on Wednesday, big uni meeting for which I have not prepared at all and am more anxious about than todayâs exam, but I simply have no energy to look at today. I will not overpush myself. Iâm going to go for a walk now with my journal and find some grass to lie on while itâs still bright, although lomgcat is absolutely lovinâ on me right now and mashing her face into my jaw.
Praying for some restful sleep tonight.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
You can do the things! đŞ
My somehow my last licence renewal used the old photo which is awesome. I am so young in it now! I donât want to give it up either.
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
My last licence renewal did too, but itâs now been over ten years so itâs photo change time.
Iâve just walked myself to a park with heaps of gum trees and although I can hear the freeway in the background, itâs still been so good to kick my shoes off and lie on the grass, feet touching the earth, looking at the leaves in the sky and hearing the commotion of garrulous lorikeets and kookaburras. I love the weather on days like this. I think I should organise a day up in the hills on the weekend with the other day set aside for a massive house clean

Came across the phrase âinclusion navigatorâ at work - what/who is that? What do they do? Does anyone know? Context was occupation.

Never watched the Sopranos until now. Great show, but as someone who grew up with Italian grandparents, calling pasta sauce âgravyâ makes my eye twitch.

Have to remember to pick it up and I hope itâs got stuff I like on it!

Working on clearing the shed this arvo, and a factory or something industrial has a siren that sounds very much like our doorbell. Every time it goes off Iâm like, doorbell?!

its probably a good thing that voting in mandatory. I already put 10x more effort into putting the stupid slip in the envelope than I would normally be prepared to do. Ended up giving up and holding it to stuff it in. Am I allowed? Dont care. Jobs done.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Assignment due today that I havenât made much progress on. Two more next week with extensions, but I want to get them done end of this week so I have time to study for exams. The extensions cut into the exam study period.
Praying I can get everything done in time. Iâm not going to let anything stop me today.

I donât watch any reality type of shows unless theyâre about finding gold or opals but this new Sin City Tow show on Discovery is my new little treat. Iâm sure a chunk of it is staged but I donât care.

This guy is five today! He is getting a batch of biscuits when my sister is done with work. I think they have cheese and peanut butter in them. Will attempt to get the recipe from her.
