I heard what I can only assume was an ibis warbling, sort of like a magpie, coming out of the cemetery lake colony this morning.

Breaking News
The Surprise Pizza, formerly known as The Mystery Pizza, has landed. The most anticipated pizza all day. Enjoy lucky Winner. Enjoy.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 6 months ago
The banana is hiding underneath.
Duenan@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Yuck! Banana should never be within 5km of a pizza!
🤮
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Well, the crust looks pretty nice.
Duenan@aussie.zone 6 months ago
All in all it was pretty nice.
I was happy with it all things considered.

Earlier I was going to go out to buy some coffee on half price.
Walked out the door dressed up and gave up and went back in.
Having of those days today.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Nearly called it a mental health day from the shower this morning. It’s deffo going around!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Cried for like the first 1.5 hours of my work day. Awesome.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Oh no. 😔
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Sending you a nice warm hug 🫂
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Thank you <3
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 6 months ago
😞 is calling it a day and going home viable?
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Sadly would have made the situation worse. Gah.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
so many gentle hugs
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Thank you <3
just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 months ago
How are you doing now? I hope the day managed to be a bit kinder to you after this morning. Please feel free to vent in here if you think it might help.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Thanks. It’s tough because I know that I really just need to get a new job. I’m not cut out for this one and that’s okay, but I keep fighting it which is just detrimental to myself.
StudChud@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Staying up laaaaate because fuck it, why not? I’m and adult, I’m allowed to relax with no commitments tomorrow!
In fact… I’m going to have chocolate ice cream.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
It’s my birthday in a month.
It’s rare that I’m excited for it, but for the moment, Im looking forward to it.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I dug (another) hole!
This one will be dedicated to potat and only potat. Should be twice as big hopefully by the end.
Was also about to start the chillo patch on the left there (which looks awful for now). Not stressed have a month to sort that. Disconnected the water but apparently I left it on and it went off just as my head was right near the drip line was aimed at my face.
I sounded like thisTaleya@aussie.zone 6 months ago
What kind potat?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 months ago
So I’m reading up on varieties atm…
Desiree will be in there.
Guess I’m hoping for 3 types. 1. Good for mash 2. good for salad and 3. good deep frying. hrmm.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’m trying to update my bank account details on my work’s payroll software and it’s not letting me do it. So I sent an email to payroll, and almost signed it off with “Retards” instead of “Regards”. Just one of those days.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I planned on a nice relaxing day today but the man is here and it’s hard to relax with the energizer bunny hopping around asking if there’s anything I’d like him to do. Yes, go outside and don’t come back for a really long time. I know that’s mean and I know I’m lucky but he’s been bopping around since 8 am and I’m tired watching him now.
Eagle@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I completely understand. ‘What can I do to help?’… sit there and pretend you’re not here because I’ve got stuff to do.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Yessss! That’s pretty much what happens. I say to him “I love you and I love having you here but I’m gonna pretend you’re not here because you’re messing up my system”. 😂
Taleya@aussie.zone 6 months ago
send him over here, we got lawns that need mowin’ and our resident ADHD is off taking his referral diagnosis to a gp to refer him a psychologist who can approve his referral and refer him back to a GP to prescribe meds
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Teach him to use the vacuum cleaner … he’ll find something to do real quick.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 months ago
He already went to do that and I said no. He’s currently outside cleaning the fan.
Duenan@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Make him do the cooking and clean up.

Linux sysadmin horror story
I did the thing…the
rm -rf *thing in the wrong directory 😱 Did not take out the server but did take out one of those legacy Cron jobs that’s been running for years but was not being backed up (that was a fun additional realisation) and kinda sorta really important. Eek. Just spent the last few hours surgically reinstating the code from and out of date backup. Fingers crossed.LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Laneway Festival ticket acquired. Friend and her friends got some too! So now we are going together as a big group 😀 Will be a better Valentine’s Day than this year’s, that’s for sure!
indisin@aussie.zone 6 months ago
They must’ve sold a fuckton of tickets in that presale, there were 13k people in front of me in the queue when I joined at 10am when it opened.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I reckon they did. 35k in front of me. Bananas.
Hope you get tickets (if you want to go)! :)

When Mickey is dozing on my chair he is always in the mood for kisses. He starts purring like a tractor when I kiss his belly, and he starts rolling over more to make sure I kiss it all. It’s the only time I can touch his tummy without losing an appendage; hands and arms are absolutely no go, only face!
Pic of him rolled over after I kissed his whoooole tummy, I stop when he stops purring 👀 I’m not gonna push him with my eyes so close to his claws lol
fluffy belly boi
Eagle@aussie.zone 6 months ago
The best stress relief is found by burying your face in cat belly and breathing in deep.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 months ago
If that is not an option, I find cat flank to be reasonably effective as well. Especially if said cat is purring

New manager at work has a macaw! She showed me lots of bird pics. <3
Taleya@aussie.zone 6 months ago
beautiful birds but soooo fucking obnoxious

Did you know one third of the risk of developing GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) is genetic? Yet another reason for me to not reproduce.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 6 months ago
But, 0% chance of passing on any disorders to a cat. And fluffy friends definitely make the world better.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Brilliant observation!
wscholermann@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Grappling with extreme anxiety attacks lately. Just taking it day by day and trying to arrest the doom spiralling and catastrophizing.
Great way to lose weight though.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 months ago
A dude just got on the train with a 6 pack of beer and a huge pizza. Tempted to offer a trade for an iPhone 13, the smell is incredible!!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Second big thing done for the week, finishing up at one job. While I know it was the best choice for everyone there is certainly a feeling of sadness/loss. I’m going to try walk some of it off and let it flow through.
After uni tomorrow my next biggest things for the week are (a) ramping up the rental search, (b) massive cleaning on weekend
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Train issues. Catch an uber. Driver gets out at every traffic light to stretch.
Interesting.

Wanted to import the discussion about this address from the other place.
…com.au/property-house-vic-toorak-146320444
It’s super nice but no way it’s worth $50M+ right? It’s not even in the part of the Yarra where you could go for a swim.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Ok I’m tracking now. It’s like the minutes of last meeting in the title. The mystery pizza.
There must be at least couple common ingredients that they always have leftover, but then it depends on the pizza joint as well and the longevity of the ingredients. Hmm tricky.
Although anchovies probably aren’t regularly requested, they do keep well so I’m guessing they won’t be a topping.
I can’t think of any pizza I would turn my nose up at though.
Catfish@aussie.zone 6 months ago
No, you may not draw a dick on your council ballot paper…
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
New glasses ordered and paid for. Fuck they weren’t cheap :(
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’m counting down until we find out what the pizza is
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Oh that reminds me. The pigeon babies left the nest. both seemed to survive ok. But before I could trim the damn hedges another pigeon moved in and laid some eggs. Damn things are like tribbles.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I can’t wait to move back to the inner city. It’s so isolating here. Like, I’m the only person here in a weird way.
I don’t see anyone often except for the train in the morning. Or the supermarket.
So lifeless.
I have to wait if/until I pass probation.
