    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.

      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.

      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.

      source

        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.

    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

      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…

    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.

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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

        source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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

      How did it go?

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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

    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…

    source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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!

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    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

    source
    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    source
    • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      source
    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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

    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.
