$350 of free drinks?! That’s dangerous.

10 buck shots. I think I’ll be legless lol

I hope you have a great time over the weekend!
Is that catnip on the floor?
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Nah it’s kief he spilled 😂 jk
I think it is catnip based on Gibsons response 😂
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Well, shit. My line up manager had been given the golden handshake. And the new line up manager is my previous boss who is probably the biggest asshole on the planet. soo… yeah I think its time to jump ship. the current direct manager stays the same, and I adore them but I’m just not prepared to work for the asshole again.
WHY are they doing this stuff in november ffs?!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Not the best time to start looking BUT a great time to polish up your CV and such.
Start spamming applications and you might get your foot in early in the new year.
Good luck!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Yeah but any time working for this prick is a bad time, so nothing ventured nothing gained. Just knowing I plan to leave makes it bearable, even if it takes a few months to land something. plus might be the fun to be a fly on the wall and watch shit go down. “manager” has no business managing. Be that his small team or half the damn department.

You need to put them out in the sunshine, warm them up and makes them sweeter!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Definitely. I do that with tomatoes too. So much more tastier.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago

Duenan@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Finally back home and settled.
Everything took so much longer today due to the massive traffic accident on the Nepean highway being blocked in 3 lanes.
Entry to car park of shopping centre was closed and escalator was borked.
Was too tired so I didn’t get to look at some stuff I wanted to and I didn’t get the potatoes. I’ll get them next week.
Anyway glad to be safely home with all the stuff happening.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Getting home definitely feels so much more of a relief when you’ve had a shitty drive - time to kick back and relax and enjoy your long weekend now :)
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Thank you.
You’ve also done such an amazing job with packing up for your move.
You deserve some rest and dinner as well!
Just cooking up some of those green leafy vegetables.
I’m not even sure what they are but they’re used in Asian dishes and have like little yellow flower spouts?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
WHEW. I am tuckered. The house is starting to look a lot emptier, though!
Today's tasks were...
- uni meeting online - misc admin (the REA still hasn’t arranged what time I’ll pick up the keys tomorrow… truly useless) - Packing stationery - Dismantling the bed frame and vacuuming so much dust underneath - Filling in the holes from the blinds now removed (mostly my friend did it…) - Dismantling the bookshelf - Consolidated op shop clothes, books and shoes (which my friend generously dropped off) - put the clothes and shoes to throw out in the bin - MOVED OUT ALL MY OUTDOOR PLANTS (except for two heavy planter boxes) ;_;
Swung by MKS on my way back to treat myself to some takeaway curries for dinner.
Now my next big task is the kitchen items… need to juggle this against the timing of unplugging my fridge on Sun am.
That’s enough for today though I think. I’m proud of myself and endlessly grateful to my friend.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 days ago
You are doing amazing 🤟
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Yeah I pushed myself to pack up my monitors and other wfh items to try and get that big messy area out of the way.
I won’t have everything done by the time another friend comes over on Saturday to help with the main move, but at least that stuff can go.
Now I’m really done for the day! 😪

Nice! I am hoping to replicate your stawbs success but so far I’m being outsmarted. I’m just hoping the chillies take off soon as that will be my sweet revenge.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 days ago
My strawberries were thriving on being forgotten - I had some self-seeded lettuce going to seed in the tubs they are in, plus a radish going to seed flopping over from the garden next to them. Apparently that’s the way they like it because they have been quietly fruiting underneath all that. I’ve cleaned up the area a bit and put some mesh over the top of them, hopefully they won’t decide that’s too much attention.
I’ve also got some raspberries ripening. They are a bit of a pain because they ripen one at a time on each stem, and I have to cover each stem with a bag to keep the birds off. So every day I have to remove and replace a bunch of bags to get a small handful of raspberries. When I move I will definitely be investing in a proper cage so I can cover the whole plant.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 days ago
yum! How are your strawberries ready? I thought we were supposed to plan them the other weekend?
wscholermann@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Mental health wise I’ve been in real crisis for the past couple of weeks but I seem to have come back from the brink somewhat.
Is it weird that I don’t remember large chunks (think years) of my childhood?
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Glad to see you back 💜 I noticed your absence but wondered if you were just lurking 💜
I'ma place this under a spoiler just in case
I also am missing a lot from my childhood, but that’s the cptsd. Trauma tends to cause a repression, though I assume you know this. Please don’t take me saying this, as telling you what’s up. That’s just my experience.
Also, I do think some memories do fade naturally anyway, especially as we age.
I hope things take a turn for the better for you WS 💜
wscholermann@aussie.zone 4 days ago
It’s interesting because a lot probably is suppression but I don’t know how much is just die to old age.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
memories do fade and change with age.

Thursday. Nearly the weekend. Give me strength.

The junkie lady locked her junkie boyfriend out and now they’re screaming at each other.
I fucking hate living here.

Found a backpack in the front garden today and these are the contents
Most of it I understand and it obviously belongs to someone with not so very good intentions. You’ve got syringes, keys, tools, gloves, hammer, crowbar etc… but a TV remote (and no TV) and a pair socks has me fairly perplexed.
Don’t need this right now but as they say bad luck comes in threes just waiting for #3
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 days ago
The remote may be a generic one used to see if it opens garages. The gloves, tools and more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins.
I know a neighbour had an intruder a few years ago and when they got arrested cops found the person had stolen his keys. So that’s probably it.
The socks may be used to tie the arm off for injecting, or a spare pair. But with the filters and syringes there it’s probably the former.
Baffled by the plug in light (is that what that is?) but maybe it’s hands free lighting that wouldn’t be too bright.
Perhaps the cops might like a look but not sure what they can do if nothing has happened yet.
Perhaps you might like to babysit a doggo for a little while til things are less sketchy.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 days ago
more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins
Yeah my thoughts too.
The plugin light is an odd one.
i’m intrigued by your TV remote suggestion I’ve never heard that’s a thing jeez.
I think I will hit up the local police see what they make of it all.
thank you kindly for your suggestions :)
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 days ago
The socks might be for deadening the sound of the hammer breaking something. I too reckon it’s time to borrow Hambam for a week or two. Or even Butters - who is quite capable of sneering a burglar to death imo.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Bastard stole someone’s remote
Hope you’re doing ok and your mum is feeling better
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 days ago
and your mum is feeling better
Thank you. I’m hoping things stabilise over the next few days and a bit of vision is restored but it’s hard to know right now.
indisin@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Been looking everywhere for that backpack so thanks mate, lemme know when it’s cool to come prick back up!
And I reckon your #3 will be you winning the RSL and having to move to QLD ❤️
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Impressive burg kit. Even comes with 2 needles. Jesus.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Worrying… sounds like it’s time for hambam to come help guard the joint for a bit (if he’s up for it). I hope you don’t get that unlucky trio
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 days ago
When I saw it I thought ‘well that not usual’… opened it up ‘hrmmm’.
Hambam would probably just grab his ball and wait for the throw :)
Eagle@aussie.zone 3 days ago
The plug in light thing is a night light.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
That’s an old school remote. Can be used for TV and blu-ray (although the blu-ray remote looks a little different) and it can still be used for newer Samsung TVs. Perhaps it’s been modified for opening garage doors or something.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
The packening begins… in an hour, I am still le tired.
I ate half a bag of chips yesterday for dinner, that was not a good idea.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Then have a nap
THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!
Sorry, had to. It’s the law :D
Also, I see nothing wrong with your choice of dinner!
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
First time I saw that flash animation, I was 12 or 13 and had found ebaumsworld. That was the site that entertained me before Google was around to collate everything into a search list or whatever.
I watched that bloody animation on repeat cackling like a hyena 😂
^fucking kangaroos^
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Ha, I was waiting for someone to say it! Missiles slowly being loaded now.
And I’d normally be very supportive of chips for dinner but somehow my gut didn’t like it - cramps, burping and farting like a MF. Also super dehydrated. All good now though.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Leave starts today. Yeeha!
Stomach still fucked but at least I don’t have to go to work till next Wednesday!
Just hope tummy isn’t too sore for the weekend birthday debauchery lol
indisin@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Apologies I’m not on here frequently enough to see everything, but have you spoken to your GP and this is an ongoing issue or is it defo a virus? Pantoprazole changed my life. Obviously speak to a GP first.

Pulled the longest hair out of my shoulder. Blonde, curly, and about 6cm in length. Sadly did not have a matching one on the other shoulder, so it had to go.

Mr Piffles, The World’s First Magic Performing Chihuahua died last week - a day after Toby. I met Mr Piffles in Vegas back in 2016 and he was a very good boy indeed.

The switch to video feature on Spotify is pretty cool. The way it switches to exactly where the audio track is playing in the video on command. Probably a gimmick I’ll get over but for now, I’m enjoying watching music videos I haven’t seen for ages (or never seen).
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
So my uncle’s cat, Casper, had to be euthanised a little while back (he was 20yo, and he just got too sick to go on). So they had an excess of wet cat food and litter. Mickey loves it, though I have to supplement with normal wet food, because this food is for cats with urinary tract issues which I think has a lower amount of taurine. This is fine, he gets a variety anyway.
My issue is it’s Purina, which is owned by Nestle. 🤦🏼♀️ Why does the cat have to like the food made by one of the most unethical companies that exist today? 😭

Ok on the topic of strawbs - if anyone is around the Mornington Peninsula, Sunny Ridge Strawberry farm often sell big boxes of strawberries. Was $10 for a giant box and they were sweet. Most of them are in the freezer now, but very good value if anyone’s ever down that way :)
indisin@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Should I be taking pics of our strawberries at this stage?
