      She’s not very good. She keeps barking for the peanut butter and she’s gonna get the food health and safety department onto us with the way she keeps licking the work bench.

      Lucky she’s cute.

      It’s the first time I’ve used it! I bought a Tefal Snackmaker years ago, which is like a jaffle iron with changeable plates. It’s taken me this long to get around to actually making anything with these plates. They look pretty fancy though, I might have to try the chocolate version next.

  I’m unaccustomed to having no responsibilities. I pulled out the work laptop one more time earlier and then put it back.

  After the period of unemployment, in which life was awful and I had no purpose, it’s strange to suddenly have “acceptable” free time. Paid even!

    Repeat after me: no free work for the employers actively screwing you over.

      Indeed :(

      I feel sad about all the ‘free’ work I have given my employers over the years. Extra hours at start/end of day, working through breaks, taking after hours calls etc. It seemed unavoidable because, well, that’s just workplace culture and if you don’t want to be viewed badly or looked over for promotions you just had to do it. Especially when you are younger and bills need paying and you’re trying to make a future for yourself. But its really not right. If it were an hourly paid job, those hours would be paid. But in salary paid jobs employers can really screw you.

  arghghhghhg slept in lounge because we’re still separating cats, proved once again that I can sleep through anything by waking up to a giant pile of cat puke next to head. Strip the jacquards off couches to wash, figure hey I should flip the cushions anyway, vac cushions, flip cushions, see dustbunnies, start vacuuming and now I’m fucking deep cleaning the loungeroom with a detour to deep clean the dyson because someone has been using it past the MAX FILL line…

  Well now I’m lunchbreaking with tzaziki, how you doing?

    Yesterday I was having a micro nap on the couch. I was facing the wall. Woke up. Needed a pee. Put my dead legs down and there was an almighty squeal. The kid woke from the other couch. The man came running. Yeah I had stood on the little dog who was snoozing on the floor beside me. I don’t think he has fully forgiven me.

    source

    • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      My kid accidentally sat on the cat once, and the squeal he let out made me think he’d lost a finger. He had some nasty scratches on his legs (nowhere more sensitive, fortunately), but the cat made no noise at all

  I’m glad i would never ever shack up with anyone at work because they’re not my type anyway so even my dumbest lizard brain wouldn’t go there. I am giggling at everything right now and I’m in bed in a dark room. This is stupid. Fucking margarita did me in. Pray for me tomorrow. Thanks. I’m not sure how I’m meant to go to sleep rn. wow. Maybe I’ll watch site inspections YouTubes until my brain explodes.

    Drink some water before you sleep. Your head and stomach will thank me tomorrow.

      I paid for this last weekend when I had a terrible headache and cola-coloured pee after only a couple of drinks but nowhere near enough water, so I shall go forth and hydrate myself now, since sleep is not forthcoming - if I don’t stumble into anything in my living room… I crave instant noodles as well, though.

  5 days left until the big day. Now that I have a choice, I don’t think I’m going to celebrate. I was considering buying a roast or a ham and doing something with it, but I don’t think I’m really even interested in that. It doesn’t really make me sad or anything, but it doesn’t bring me joy, so it just seems like a waste of time thing that I do to make other people happy

  New Year’s I’ve decided I’ll stay home. My entire life I wanted to see fireworks, but pre 2019 was complicated by loving in the country. 2019 I was too young, 2020 they replaced it with a “3 day food and wine tasting festival”, 2021 I got COVID and was too sick to go, 2022 and 2023 I finally saw them! But repetitive now I reckon. I’ll probably watch them on tv and might order in a midnight kebab or something for the same vibe

  Something we noticed in NZ was beer sizes. We just wanted a six pack. There was Corona or Heineken. No. When in Rome and all that biz. There was 12 packs or 30 of kiwi beer. So we settled for a six pack of Speight cans. Cans were 440ml each. I don’t do cans but they were the closest we could get. We spent so much time in the freezer humming and harring it was ridiculous. So many times the man picked up 12 and said “fuck it” and I made him put it back because we had things to do the next day.

  Sitting on the soccer oval in Queenstown, drinking beer and watching the planes and helicopters take off and land is a memory I’ll never forget.
