  Finally back home now

  Well I’m off to sleep for 16 hours, see you all!

  source

  • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Welcome back! Night night, and try to sleep in if you can.

  Changing my Facebook profile photo to me playing a gig was a great idea for getting into a new band.

• Baku@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Back in Vic now. Was briefly here for a few hours this morning (driving from Pinnaroo, SA, to Balranald, NSW

  Energy and patience levels very very low. Only just left Echuca, so still a few hours from home. Probably gonna get back about 9:30. Sure hope past me tidied up before leaving (genuinely don’t remember)

  Anywho, I sorted out my shop yesterday. Will be delivered tomorrow evening, so I can have a sleep in. Gonna smash some KFC tonight, and might order some lunch in tomorrow. Who wants to cook

  So the solution to being overworked from the general manager is:

  Wait for it:

  FUCKING TIME MANAGEMENT!!!

  because of course im sitting around jerking off all day and not busting my ass the whole time.

  I’m out as soon as I have a new offer. I don’t want them to match it.

    Maybe that is the solution…

    Time management = the person who bought up the issue IS the issue.

    I hope you get a better offer and can make like a tree

    source

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Exactly.

      So fucking short sighted. If they’re annoyed now, they’re going to get a reality check when I move on.

  Just saw some lightning. Had a look on windy.com and there’s a big storm heading due south. Has nearly reached Whittlesea.

  source

  • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Ooh, looks big. But also looks like it’s getting blown Southwest towards Gisborne and might miss most of Melbourne. Whatever, just bring on the cool change please.

    source
  • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I think I’ll just be on the outer edges of it but I’m seeing a very cool lightning show.

    source
  • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Mowed and watered lawn… if there’s a storm. All the better… I’m gonna go fight my neighbours now

    source
  • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Just saw it down my way as well.

    source
  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ll be enjoying that storm soon enough then

    source
• MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Had some beers, had some whiskey, had some weed.

  All of you are looking extra good tonight 😘

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Tonight all good. Tomorrow don’t talk to me.

    source

    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Deal

      Yeah baby…yeah.

• just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Whatever I save on rent and gas connection fees at this place I’ll definitely be making up for in air-conditioning - despite having the extractor fan on and blinds and windows firmly closed the place is a furnace. I can feel the fire from behind the blinds in this west facing bedroom. It’s hotter than it is outside.

  Off to have dinner with a friend shortly but I think I’ll need to have the AC on timer while I’m out so that I can sleep in this damn place tonight 😮‍💨

  source

  • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It might be worth having a little air or foam mattress to sleep in a cooler room when it’s bad. I also would put tinfoil on the sunny side windows.

    West facing bedrooms are the worst

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      So much about this place that is just absolutely not what I’d choose or want, and I’m still paying so much, sigh. Not gonna focus on that tho.

      My mum might visit for a bit in Jan so I was thinking of getting a roll up foam mattress anyway, used to have one in a swag but I’ve given that away. At a stretch I could sleep on the couch with my legs bent, or resting on the arms

      source
  • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ve had some success with taping those silver car window screen things to west-facing windows. Its unsightly but does block the heat

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Used to see those at other places, looks so ghetto but I might seriously consider it (and too bad if it reflects right off into other peoples windows across the carpark) because it’s just untenable otherwise. I’ve just come home and the air-conditioning was on for an hour and then off for an hour and it’s still hot as fuck in here, there’s no cross ventilation even with all the windows open now.

      Wish I had a way to stick them on the outside of the windows, that’s what needs to stop getting hot in the first place

  Is there anything more dramatic than a cat whose food bowl is only 95% full?

  source

  • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You do realise the cat will starve should the bowl get to only 90% full?

    source
  • Force_majeure123@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    A beer that’s 95% empty 🍻🍺

  FFS someone back into my car when doing school pick up. Thankfully not much damage and to their credit they hung around to give me their details, but jesus I do not need the headache.

    I’ve been hit twice in the past year in the school scrum

    Itll be okay, especially with one of these bad boys 🍻🍻

  Boyo just tried to get in the shower with his coffee mug. This does not bode well for incoming meeting with mortgage banker.

  source

  • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Its something in the air. I sat here reading emails thinking “man, teams is quiet today”. And it was, because I hadnt even opened it yet.

    source

    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      3 of my managers are off today. Might be an apology for some meetings and get this gardening shit done and over with ASAP.

      source
  • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I guess shower coffee isn’t as common as I imagined.

    source

    • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Next hot trend is shower wine (I totally don’t do this).

  Morning everyoneeeee 🤗 TGIF.
  The weeks are zooming by so fast for me at the moment. I feel like I blink and it’s Thursday and then the weekend. Not sure if this is good because I’m not feeling like work is dragging on so long all week, or bad because life is just slipping by quickly

    What time is beer o’clock for you today?

    source

      About 5 when I get home

  First cicadas of the year are shouting in my front yard. They’re bloody loud.

  source

  • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ve been hearing them for a couple weeks now. Somehow feels hotter when I hear them

    source
  • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I once heard of someone collecting the shed cicada shells and spray painting them gold, to use as Xmas decorations. Should you want something a little different…

    source

    • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That would be beautiful! So many insecks are beautifully geometric in design, and gilded would look stunning! And the cicada isn’t using the shell anymore so why not. So far I’ve just been putting the shells in the compost, but painting them might be a lot more fun.

  I’m a bit concerned about following these instructions.

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    earth and world are the same character/word in Mandarin 🤷‍♀️

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s actually a reasonable explanation for this wording, could be a direct translation from the original 满地 the second character 地 can mean earth/ground/soil and can mean planet Earth (地球) when combined with a character meaning ball/sphere.

  That’s enough work for today. Sign off. Going to have a bit of retail therapy before heading home, but I won’t last long if it’s super crowded at the shops like I think it’ll be.

  Lawn has been mowed. Meetings ended. Shower and lunch had. Time to tidy up one more thing workwise and the weekend is here.

  Also - new Kendrick album slaps

  Looks like telstra / bigpond mail is borked since 7am-ish (for outlook at least) for a lot of people.

  How good is it when you go to a coffee shop and your favourite barista is there so you know you’re gonna get a good cuppa. That’s a little win today 👏

  Got back late after work to buy some essentials to last the next fortnight.

  Bought some honey ham on special and I found one of those massive meat rolls I ate while ago on clearance for 5 bucks as well.

  Debating if I should have it tonight or tomorrow.

  Exhausted now and hoping to chill for the rest of three night with some gaming and background movies or shows.

  Happy Friday everyone.

• tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Didn’t take lunch because I was waiting for something to come through then had a meeting. So I took it now for an early trip home. A nice way to end a Friday

  Anyone getting anything interesting with these BF sales?

  I always find it’s never stuff I want or what I want is sold out or doesn’t have that great a discount.
