It can bring back goon… BUT CAN IT BRING BACK SEAGOON?
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
We gotta get @Duenan onto this - he’s good at finding treasure.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m so fucking jealous of that bell.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
This is great, who says you need a car

Flu bad. Why come I remove gunk from my nose and then there’s more gunk right away? I don’t like it. Why come body go ouchie even though I’m giving it a rest today? Unfair.
Also tissue and lozenge delivery should be on Medicare
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I also remain bewildered and mortified by my body’s ability to generate seemingly endless amounts of mucus out of nowhere. Flu sucks though. I hope you get well very soon…

New glasses!!!
I knew mine were scratched, but holy shit I can finally see clearly

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I can’t believe how I’ve been dealing with scratched glasses for so long.

Doing my best not to feel anxious about today’s inspection and any forthcoming emails from the landlord. Very grateful for psych session later today though the emails will probably come tomorrow or later in the week. Hoping I can book in a session for next week too.
Think I’m going to treat myself to pizza tonight. Salmon pizza

Absolutely zero point in stressing out before anything happens. sets you up for arguments you may not need to have and locks you into a position you may not want to hold. feel what you gotta feel but ride the wave of it all if you can.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yeah look tbh that’s exactly why I’m not going to be present during the inspection, I’d rather have some distance from it all this time and I don’t want any antagonism to leak out while they’re there. Only written communication going forward
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Try and remain calm. See if you can document things as they happen on your phone if you’re able to incase you need it for evidence at VCAT while it’s still fresh in your memory.
A treat for yourself sounds well deserved.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I did take some general photos of the joint (and of the defect on the balcony) before leaving for work this morning because I won’t be around for the inspection itself. That’s all I can do really, and hope for the best
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
How did it go?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
So far no emails or notes left around, nothing seems to have been disturbed. LL has a habit of dropping bombs on Friday afternoons so we’ll see what transpires through the week.
Unit I viewed today was way too small. Only large enough for a bar fridge, and a communal laundry. Below my budget but not worth the savings
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You’ve got this! Hope the psych session goes well.
Salmon sounds good for a kitten!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yasss, pizza. ✨
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I wish I had friends who were free on a Tuesday evening to just shoot the shit and share a pizza with. I remember long conversations in cars with uni friends after class, those halcyon days when we didn’t have so many Commitments and Schedules…
It’s cooling down quite a bit now after a warm afternoon and gone all cloudy; don’t entirely feel up to a walk. But I AM having that damn pizza and catching up on today’s episode of OMITB after the toll of yesterday. I shall walk to work and back tomorrow instead. Done.
But first… some reading on schema therapy…
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s probably not the same but what about a phone call?
That’s than better than nothing and at least you can let it out and feel better about verbally having an outlet?
It’s definitely cooler now. The sun has gone away and the cold breeze was out. I actually felt cold again.
Go go Pizza!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
People don’t really seem to be into phone calls at my age! Well there’s one person I could’ve hit up normally but she’s overseas at the moment.
It certainly has gotten cool again. Was nice to whip out a summer top for the day anyway.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’d be so down to do that
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
This is where my social anxiety goes into overdrive and I hesitate to reach out…
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I am ready to bathe myself in ice-cream. LOL.
Man, it’s not like I haven’t ridden in this type of weather a lot, but I do not miss sweaty anything, let alone sweaty leathers.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Conditions are prime for ticket inspectors today. I haven’t seen any yet but I bet they are lurking in the shadows just waiting to attack
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yesterday evening, my partner and I were waiting at the tram stop with his dad, and I was complaining about the ticket inspectors. I went on about how they target students and non-white passengers, how they’re failed police officers, blah blah blah. I the looked over past them to the rest of the people at the stop, and realised there were four ticket inspectors there waiting too.
I would have felt embarrassed except they’re shit and I was right haha

A little Negative Nancy (sorry to any Nancys that may be reading this)
Assignment that was almost seven days overdue is done and submitted. I have no idea where the time went or what I have been doing. All I remember is the stressing.
Two more due end of this week. At least one of them is more or less half done. I’m just worried I won’t finish them in time.
I will try my best and use this as a learning experience. I will use myself as an example for my Future Students of What Not To Do.
Then I will be done with uni, climb the Harbour Bridge, and transform into HighExperience2060.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Well done!!! You’re nailing it!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Oh, Seagoon
It hurts to Sea you Gone
We hope you are back with us soon

I finally figured out how to download things from github today properly. I was always going to the source code and thinking I had to download dependencies and compile things.
Turns out you just go to Releases in the sidebar and it’s all there. Now I can play the recomped version of Majora’s Mask and use the Dark Souls gadget to fight bosses over and over again
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thank you dude! I could never figure it out either lol
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m almost a little disappointed. I said to myself, ‘this will be the project where I figured out github’ and then it was too easy

I’ve worked out a potential study plan that would have me finish uni by the end of 2026. It would require doing 22 units over 6 teaching periods.
It would completely cook my brain (if I even passed) but gosh it’s tempting. I just wanna get out of here and change careers. But the current plan is to finish end of 2027. Which really isn’t so bad.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I wouldnt rob myself of time with family, friends, gaming or whatever just to get to the goalposts quicker.
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Lucky for me most of those don’t apply, lol. But I do understand your point. I doubt I’ll do it, it’s nice to dream though.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Compromise and finish in the middle of 2027?
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m looking at that option now. It’s a matter of what units are available and when, which is annoying.

In a few weeks, I’ll be staying at a hotel with a buffet breakfast included in the stay price. This hotel doesn’t come cheap, so I feel it’s my duty to squeeze every bit of value out of the price.
Is it wrong if I take a few items away from the buffet for later enjoyment? I won’t be obvious about it - the take away items will be hidden in a tote bag I’ll bring in with me. Easy things to take away - some croissants, maybe fruit, not hot food. I’ve never done this before, but planning how to get away with it has been exciting.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I ‘stole’ a croissant once from a buffet at a 5 star in Indo.
Then the next day stole a spring roll.
I self flagellated for weeks after that.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You paid for it so take it.
When I used to travel for work, I’d grab fruit from the breakfast buffet to take with me for the day. Bananas, kiwis apples …whatever whatever wasn’t cut was fair game

A courier is meant to come today to pick up the old work laptop. I was given the wonderfully specific window of 9:30 to 17:30. Kids are dropped off, I’m about to shower, and I’m ready to hunker down and not go anywhere until he comes to pick it up.
Because you know he’ll come if I go outside or the next time I go to the toilet
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I wonder if they’ll let us wear shorts in the office…

I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with Independent Living options through the NDIS and wouldn’t mind talking about it?
Group homes and supported living is not appropriate for me and I’m very wary about what I’d be getting into. Hence ILO. But my current housing is very substandard and dangerous and trying to transfer out is just not likely to happen.

I hurt all over so badly I cannot sleep. Ow my everything
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Always a bit of interesting one when you hear of the death of somebody you dislike
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I resisted the temptation to sleep in this morning, sleeping felt really good and nice and snuggly but I forced myself awake against every fibre in my body.
Going to be warm one as well today, I wonder if I should treat myself but umming and ahhing about whether or not it’ll be wasted money to buy it.

I seem to be allergic to Carlton :-(
Waiting while my kid is in an appointment, and so far I’m have got tree fluff in both my eyes and have breathed it in, too
coff coff sneeze

Ok, I caved and bought it and will be going to pick it up after work.
Purchased a copy of the Wrymspan board game for myself because I love dragons.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Woke up at 5am. All the alcohol has messed with my body clock a bit I think.
Got a small sniffle and I hope it’s just allergies.

Slowcooker meal turned out pretty great! If I had a complaint it would be that it was a little too similar to Beef Stroganoff just a bit heartier.

What does one have at a Royal Barbie? Angus beef snags on artisan bread? All the salads? Crownies?

The hits keep on hitting. Told I have the diabeetus last week. This afternoon I get the call that my nan has passed away, so with my parents in America I’m handling things with my best British stiff upper lip and just now I finally sat down after dealing with that paperwork, looked at my phone and it appears the reason I stopped hearing from the woman I was interested in persuing things with is that she might have taken her jerk ex back.
Sprinkle in a couple of minor work annoyances like people ignoring things I say when I’m meant to be a voice of authority and I’m just having a grand old time. Yaaaay.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m so sorry to hear that. Sometimes when it rains with the bad news it pours
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago

I’m so sorry for your loss
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m sorry for your loss.
Will you get some time or are you entitled to some bereavement leave?
Make sure you look after yourself as best as possible during this tough time and please let us know if there’s anything we can do for you.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m sorry you’re having a hard time mate. Try to find some time to do some things that bring you peace when you can ❤️
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Oh that all sucks, I’m sorry. Can you at least take a day or two off work? It’d give you some space to process and minimise the idiots while your tolerance is low.
bull@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yeah I’ve told work I won’t be available tomorrow. Got some things to take care of so it’ll be good to take a day.
