  Great weather today, so Mabel decided to get cracking on some of those summer jobs of hers

      It’s about time. She’s 9 months behind on rent (never paid a cent, actually) and keeps eating us out of house and home

    I’ve been meaning to ask, are they Nebelungs? Or just domestic long haired greys?

      Bill is a Neeb, Ted is a Persian long hair 🙂

  I think I’m going to have my own work Christmas party tonight. Being self-employed shouldn’t mean I miss out, right? The co-working space did a little Christmas lunch thing earlier in the week but it sucked, so my need to be drinking merrily to toast the end of the work year has not been satisfied. I was going to ask some friends to join for company but it’s so last minute.

  Nothing too extravagant because I have to foot the bill for this one. A nice burger with a pint of beer somewhere would go down a treat.

    just make sure you dont have too much to drink and sexually assault a colleague. Nothing worse than having to sit yourself down and discipline yourself for being too suggestive with yourself.

  I have now finished my assignment and module quiz which are not due until Sunday - which means I have officially gone from being behind to being ahead, yay!! Plus I now only have the interesting subject to do, not the horrible one I was really hating doing. In celebration I present you all a bonus wattlebird photo, as seen in my assignment.

  Will be nice to catch up with the randos at the dog park. I’m guessing Hambam will be his usual self and try to herd inanimate objects / refuse to leave the park.

  Been a long week.

  Grabbed 2 guitar pedals as an early xmas present for myself, which I’m looking forward to playing with tonight.

  I’m so drained. Haven’t had a chance to play another gig since the first one because work has really taken it out of me.

  I try to practice after work but it can be hard when you don’t sound very good because you’re tired.

  1 more week to go.

  source

  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I know that feeling, making more mistakes and forgetting parts.

    What pedals did you get?

    source

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Exactly. Then you think “fuck this I’m not feeling it, may as well stop”

  Fucking trespassers on Mernda/Hurstbridge line…can we just have a train network where this shit doesn’t happen please? I’m paying $10 a day, least we deserve is a train network that works for that price.

  source

  • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    My brother is a train driver that occasionally does that line as well as others. Just last week, he was driving the Upfield line. A brainless idiot driver steering by google maps missed a turning onto a road going parallel to the line. The driver then drove ONTO the tracks and proceeded north using those instead of the road. The car made it about half way to the next station before getting stuck, as train tracks are not roads and are not intended to be driven on in a normal car - even a four wheel drive has trouble. Its a width thing. The car was then sideswiped by trains going up the line AND down the line - the car ended up nearly fully crushed and derailed one of the trains. Fortunately no one was killed, and it wasn’t rush hour, but nothing that happened was the train network’s fault. You can’t stop pure damned fools from being fools - but we all have to wear the consequences.

  Righty-ho, time to toddle off to bed and leave you young 'uns to your wild Friday night plans. Back to work tomorrow, hopefully the finger will manage all the typing. I seem to be fine with everything, except that I still can’t bend my finger well enough to reach the letter “x”, but I don’t think that one is going to be a big problem.

    What if you need to deal with six boxes of toxic foxes?

    Yay for the finger improving!

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I’ll just type 6 boses of tosic foses and say “oops” afterwards. We’ll be too busy arguing about whether it’s an animal rescue, hazardous incident or entrapment to notice anyway.

  Today’s random appreciate/positivity: I’m thankful for the people working in any kind of retail position at the moment. Every shop I’ve been in has been in complete and utter chaos, and I can’t imagine how stressful it is

  I’m thankful to any retail workers reading this, and those that aren’t :)

  source

  • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    These are good words. And a sentiment that’s all too easily forgotten at this time of year. 👼😇👼 You are a nice person Baku.

  • Nath@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I’m one of those weirdo types who loved customer service. I miss retail work. I could see myself doing it again, only you can’t live off the pay. I liked this time of year: Yes it was super busy, but people were mostly pretty positive and the days flew by.

    source

    • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I enjoy the “hi what can I get for ya” of hospo/fast food, and the one interaction nature of it. Seriously, I could do that for hours without wearing out. Which I found really odd considering I’m very introverted, probably antisocial, and have abysmal interpersonal skills

  A currawong turned up in time to be photographed too. Not using this one for my assignment, so I thought I’d share with you.

    since I started feeding the birds in my yard again the currawongs have come back

      There is a young one around too, still being fed. They like the raspberry bush at the moment, it is covered with insects for them to eat and still has a few bits of fruit too. This one came down a bit later to grab a raspberry for dessert.

  A wattlebird just showed up and I was able to get a decent photo for my assignment. It’s a bit of a relief, I was starting to think birds had abandoned my garden entirely.

  I got paid for my tech support session, so it’s all above board and legit. It would be a good bit of side money if I can do it regularly.

  Anyone can sign up, but this might be a good opportunity for Baku if you have the time. It’s an hour pit of your day here and there and you can make up to $70 if you’re willing to run the session youngster.co

  looking at portarlington, other than eating and walking it’s a really boring place . I will have no car so convince me otherwise.

  Done with the uni end of year event, left a bit early but I’m glad because I could really feel myself hitting a wall. Such a beautiful day to be out! Truly Goldilocks weather. And I was reminded there are some good and lovely people still on campus - despite the drama over the years and some meanies - and I’m glad to be working with them.

  Gotta keep the positive energy going over the weekend but for tonight I’m just gonna blob out and sleep. Forked out for a short trip to go visit my mum while she’s in WA in early Jan as I don’t think she’s gonna be happy visiting me in this cramped little hotbox. Two things to look forward to, yay!
