    I like to lighten the scene up with my unimportant natter.

    I also think it’s most beneficial to get things out in the open even to strangers on here. Mental health and physical health are so important.

  I know this comment may make history as the most downvoted ever, not just in this thread but the whole of Lemmy, and could possibly result in my expulsion from this community and even the internet as a whole, but…

  I actually don’t mind this weather.

  There. I said it.

  Have at me, beaches.

    Look, it’s fine, but I’m going into a job interview soon and my hair is a frizzy mess. It’s not projecting the most professional image. But oh well, I can’t fix it.

    My garden is loving this weather. I have put all my indoor plants outside to enjoy it too. Hope they don’t drown in the promised thunderstorms though.

    This is infinitely preferable to the winter equivalent where it is equally grey and nearly as humid but 12C.

    I don’t mind a few days like this. Just as long as it doesn’t go above 25C with this humidity

    Same, I like this weather as long as it is for just a few days.

  Well damn. Roofer is coming tomorrow but I can’t be home so have to let the LL in handle it.

  Today was a pretty cruisy day. We had to go get new wheels, and then decided to head to the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide. It was alright, but last year they stopped allowing people to enter the locomotives and carriages because apparently people were stealing shit and vandalizing everything. I get their decision, but that kind of took about 80% of the gun out. It was basically just walking alongside old locos with a bunch of barriers besides them with the occasional plaque about the history of it. Also wasn’t really national, state at best

  Image

  They also had a little miniature railway. It was rideable, but a little freaky. It’s intended to young’n’s, and while age wise, I qualify as a I youn’n (or so I’m told), I absolutely do not have either the height nor stature of a young’n. Damn thing almost tipped over when I got in 😂

  Then we went to Okami for all you can eat Japanese food. I love Okami (hence why I’m probably capable of tipping miniature railways over), and came back for what was meant to be an early night but is rapidly becoming a late one (due for another 4am start tomorrow. Not sure why I do this to myself tbh)

  Also got some cute postcards I’m gonna write up and post out tomorrow

  Can get such a good deal on two pairs of glasses at Specsavers right now, including a pair of polarised prescription sunglasses, but their range is either tack and el cheapo, or obscenely priced for what it is. I’m thinking my gorgeous features deserve better?

    I’ve found really good service at opsm , they even changed lenses on old glasses for me

  So I opened up at work to some people how bad things have been with some higher ups, part of my stress is coming from work and how powerless I am to control a situation that was related to yesterday afternoon.

  There was agreement in place to mitigate and manage the situation but that didn’t work yesterday and I was subjected to a lot of stress even with the aid of someone with me.

  I had to make it clear that I need to be supported at work because inevitably the root cause of the problem is coming from work and they need to support me better because it’s coming from work, I don’t believe that I should be seeking external help when the problem is actually coming from work.

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Asking mean people to not be mean

    and getting help from within a system that enables mean people

    usually does not work.

    But asking politely for it to stop and for help is a very important psychological step, this is so you can tell yourself you went through all the right steps, you tried and you are not to blame for the abuse.

    Next step is getting outside help and planning to leave, leave to another job in your own time. You don’t get a medal for having no income.

  In office today I’m sitting next to someone relatively new (different team).

  She had a fairly strong Russian accent and even a polite and innocent sentence sounds like a threat.

  I watched a documentary on Netflix called That Sugar Film. Basically the creator ate “healthy” process foods for 60 days. He put on around 10kg. It was very interesting to watch.

  I’m starting to think my house plants are ramping up the humidity in this joint. Did a bit of mucking around in the kitchen and organised the spices but there’s still a way to go with pantry items. Can’t think of a logical layout. Forgot to get little step ladder as I’ll absolutely need that in this place.

  For now though, I’m calling it a night, been breathing shallowly for some reason and yawning hugely/feeling light-headed the past hour. I’ve pulled 9.5 hours yesterday and 9 hours today at work to make up for last week, excluding 30 mins lunch; still need an extra 30 minutes tomorrow. And then so much uni work on Thursday. zzzzz…

  Lightning show due north of the city - heading due south according to windy.com. No rain as yet, and no thunder audible. Aaaaand it’s fizzled out. Again. I’m disappointed.

  First world problem #475358: seems not all microfibre cloths are created equal. I bought some new ones but they are hydrophobic and not very good at picking up dirt. Annoying. Lesson learnt, I’ll be having a feel of them in the shops before buying new ones to see if I can find ones with similar texture to my older set.

• RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Working in the garden in this humidity has turned me into a soggy mess. It’s not actually raining which is probably good - the weeding I did yesterday was in light rain, which was soggy but cooler. Hopefully I get the remaining plants in before any storms come over this afternoon - it is great for the plants to have lots of water after planting though, so the timing is great in that regard.

  I’m hoping I haven’t gotten any sunburn - I thought I replaced the sunscreen in my toiletry bag last year, but apparently not. I went to put some on, found it had completely separated, and when I checked the date it expired in 2016. Oops. At least I have my hat.
