The second emoji is what came up when I typed in meeting.
Well the meeting wasn’t too bad. Still got blamed for the inadequacy of the project team, but the heat was lower than expected thankfully ❤️

That project team that you didnt even set up or have any control over? and thats been long established since before you joined? Classic management.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Bingo.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 days ago
It sounds like the client is blaming you because you’re the main person they interact with. You have no control on the actual work that gets done on their account.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
All I can do is hassle the project manager or project engineers to get updates.
Today I was told in the future if I need to escalate, go straight to the general manager which is cool at least

Bro rocked up last night finally to ‘see’ mum.
Just sat there and spoke about himself for 30mins.
Cunt. At least the old man is seeing him for who he really is now.
Pretty obvious won’t be getting much help from bro.
Anyway so I’ve left the kitchen with a bit of a mess and I need to see what happens (I usually clean up). Pretty much testing severity / independence. I’m hoping I’ll get a serve because that means she can see it, she can do it, how well she does it and mood which will be a good indication for steps that follow (for now). Low risk easy test.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Good luck and so many best wishes for your mum. 🫂🫂🫂
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Thank you seagoon means a lot :)
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Man it sounds like you’re having a fucking rough time right now.
Try to find a little time for yourself just to rest if you can.
I hope everything works out OK with your mum ❤️
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Had one hell of a psych session… big emotions. Good session but the kind that you need to sit down and process for 30 minutes afterwards. I had thought I might pack my shoes and some other stuff tonight but it isn’t happening. It’s been a big week and more to come with the real move coming up.
I am not being lazy or weak, I am pacing myself 👍
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Go you for attending the psych session! Good attitude, put your feet up and relax a bit. You deserve it!!!

I was just thinking to myself today that no one starts or does everything at the same time. And starts are the hardest as learning curves are real and take a lot of work. Life naturally just spaces itself out with different demands happening at different times. Systems are set up at different times, skills learnt at different times.
Life is naturally paced. That’s how people can do so much .
It’s how I did it as a teen even. Got some education. Got a job. Moved out. Did more education. One big thing at a time.

Surprise! 1st strawberry from the patch this season. Was watering and thought… hmmmm… something red is hiding there. 🍓
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Nice one! There is nothing like a properly ripened fresh strawberry.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Congrats! Looks luscious!
Eagle@aussie.zone 5 days ago
It was a very nice surprise!
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago

PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Woo! Few things in my horticultural life have excited me as much as the first strawb of the season!
Eagle@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I knew you’d understand my delight!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Open mic is tomorrow at 9pm if anyone wants to come have a drink :)
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Rest up man. We’ll be there for the next one :)
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Rest well buddy.
It’s been a stressful week for you on top of being sick and I’m sure that’s not helping you get better.
Look after yourself!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I think I’ve been feeding the magpies too much cat food. One meowed
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
That’s adorable lol
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Interesting thing just happened. I was in the middle of writing a reply, but the time stamp said that I had responded 5 minutes ago. Yes, it was the time stamp for that reply. I checked.
This means that the DT is actually a portal that allows time travel into the future. Albeit not very much future. Not enough for stock market speculation, dammit. Has anyone else had this happen to them?mysticgreg@aussie.zone 5 days ago
That explains why I see some serious shit every time a post hits 88 comments.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago

PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 days ago
No, just 2 DMs from a user I don’t recognise, one responding to something I wrote ages ago and another saying hello. Post history has a lot of removed posts and comments.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
The user starts with a D doesn’t it? Has been sending a bunch of us messages as well.
I advise you block them.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I think the" hello" person was spam to everyone. From memory the removed comment was something about finance and most likely a scam. They’ve been blocked from the Melboune sub.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!

I forgot to buy cheese on the way home from work. My life is over
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I must keep a constant supply of cheese in the fridge or Miniest will kill me

Melbcat has been wrangled for her meds… she’s forgiven me and is now curled up as the little spoon

aww, hugs

ffs I have been banned for 3 days from one of the fossil reddits …lol. Some nonce posts a picture of a blue rock he got from Blue Rock Beach and asks if it’s a fossil.
It’s a blue rock.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Went to pick up some extra food for a few days and came across some bargains
3kg bag of oranges for 5 dollars and a bag with 4 bunches of chinese broccoli or something for 2 bucks.
Felt like I made off like a bandit and has left me fairly happy with myself.
Also this afternoon was way smoother with almost no hassles compared to yesterday’s drama.
Taleya@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Orange juice freezes spectacularly jsyk. I like to make ice cubes
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’ll probably just end up eating them.
They’re fairly big oranges and I lack a juicer too.

Good start to the day, Marketplace buyer showed up & was very friendly. I have a couple more that will hopefully show up today too - I’ll have to convert all my cash to proper digital money soon! 💰 💰 💰
I’m really hoping some more cupboards sell soon, I’d like to be able to use my carport again. If any are remaining after this weekend I think I’ll put them up free on the Buy Nothing group.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Glad to hear you got rid of that couch. I’m reading Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency and I was worried your couch would get stuck in some physically impossible fashion and you’d have to saw it into pieces
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I think it is @just_kitten 's couch you are thinking of, which is still pending pickup tonight. So the impossibly stuck couch is still a possibility. Hopefully if that does happen the horse in the bathroom situation will not follow.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
is there a stomach bug going around? Kid got sent home with the shits yesterday but was in great spirits and wasnt on a hold so went back today and seems fine. Meanwhile I’ve got this feeling at the top of my stomach a bit like i wanna spew, but not quite? Had it for 3 days now, and it just comes and goes. not actual digestive changes however, its a bit weird.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Yeah man it’s been about 3 days now and I’m utterly fucked. Running to the bathroom every 20 or so mins.
Fucking sucks.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 days ago
My girlfriend has been in bed all day with stomach problems so it feels true from my end
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Friend I met up with today said she doesn’t drive because her ex crashed into a tree after she broke up with him and thought it was her fault. But she has spoken to me about driving on the ring road with her dad and driving to her sport practice. It’s just that she needs a ride whenever I go out with her. Another friend wants me to pick up her too good to go box which is a 10 minute drive away. I feel iffy about saying yes because she constantly asks me to check if things are in stock for her at my work and asked me to help jump-start her car because she had no one else. I don’t mind doing a nice thing for a friend, but I just feel like these people are using me.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Little whiteboard fell of the wall at 3am and frightened the bejesus out of me.
Broken sleep. 😠
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Afternoon buyer has not shown up ☹️
It is very rude, Mr Woof has been waiting for his afternoon walk. She confirmed she was coming just a couple of hours ago!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
sky blue, I did reading on the tram , got a new planner
and some art books
It was a successful trip. 🙂
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 5 days ago
It’s going to be a blood agreement sandwich kinda day
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Someone might take the big couch off me today. Please turn up this evening for the love of God. It would be such a relief.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Ugh, no luck with confirming the couch move so far (and tbqh I’m really tied for time tonight). I’m starting to think it won’t happen and I’ll have to move it to my friend’s place.
Meanwhile I have at least confirmed the movers for Monday morning, that’s a big tick. Think I’m just going to take the day off so I can clean up after and shit
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Left over beef ragu pasta for lunch and I am so excited. Hurry up, 1:30pm.
Also wondering at what point I’ll snap and stop making sensible decisions and run away to Europe for a month.

What’s everyone’s favourite dessert?
If it’s cake I’d say chocolate for me or black forest as long as it doesn’t have cheese in it.
I also like making a bowl of jelly with fruits in it.
tone212_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Clients asking me if I can do their work for cheaper. No! I give you a fair price right up, this isn’t a negotiation. Yet I feel the need to say, yes of course I can do it cheaper. Then I come across as a pushover and the next time I do work for them, they’ll ask for cheaper again.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
It’s literally raining here and it’s not on the radar. 🫥

Trying to play financial seer since our fixed mortgage term is up in December and we’re trying to work out if we should lock in a two or five year rate in case it all goes to shit.
Musks antics are not helping

For some dumb reason I clicked on a spider IG. Now my IG is full of spider-related content.
Like BIG spiders…
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Got my payslip.
Picking up the car on my birthday Saturday!
It’s all coming up millhouse!

You softy. I would put a tin of salmon on the floor and walk away.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I am absolutely a softy lol

I have an understanding, but no words.

Watching her scale the security door with claws out, hanging for a bit, then doing the mad jump to the top of the door is nuts.
And all in 30 seconds from a standing start lol

Yay for the cat righting reflex!
