Sometimes I wonder how Gibson would be in the wild. Then I yell “brushies” and she runs over to be brushed lol

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago

RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Biscuits complete!
I am giving a bag with one of each type of biscuit to my family, plus a tub full for my Mum and a tub for each of the two teams I am with at work. Plus a smaller container for me.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Thanks. I’ve just put on 5 kgs by looking.
Seriously. Bloody superb. And in this weather I would’ve been swearing by now. Well done.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago
The air conditioner has done a great job in making sure I keep my cool.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 year ago
How can you objectively evaluate the taste quality without a volunteer who is unbiased?
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Ooh, like your wager stamp
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago
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.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I too would like to be part of the quality assurance / control team.
They look great!
Shit that’s a lot of effort though!
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Beautiful!
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Ooh yum! What’s the one with jam in the middle?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I am so envious right now. They look amazing!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I just ate four for dessert 🙂
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I am so drunk after today’s work event. I just need to wall 600m home. I can do this
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I can do this
The wall doesn’t stand a chance you got this.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I did it bur nor sure if I cam do it tomorrow
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
You’ll be fine! Walling isn’t too bad when you’re drunk lol
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago

TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 year ago
This reminds me of a story I was told about an Irishman whose nickname was Spiderman. From the way he walked home from the pub. So Spiderkitten?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I think there was some skittishness and zigzagging involved si maybe?! But kittens are cuter than spiders. I would rather be kitten
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 year ago
You go this!!! But also let us know when you achieve this!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I put key in door ad it open! Yay
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 year ago

Duenan@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Friend went and got me one on his way back home and one for himself.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 year ago
This is like the potato gratin of this year.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
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!
/rant
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Get accustomed to the words “clocked off now”. Ching ching.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Repeat after me: no free work for the employers actively screwing you over.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 year ago
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.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Cool. Got all my supplies for a super chill day at home. Fuck yeah!!!
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
WOOH! PARTY AT GIBSONS!
🎉
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Do we need to bring anything?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Just yourselves :)
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 year ago
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?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
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.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 year 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
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 year ago
oh noooo and the worst part is they’re so betrayed and you can’t communicate to them it was an accident!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 year ago
My wife just came back to the bed after a month apart cause we both been crook. her cat wouldnt sleep in the spare bed with her, but refused to sleep with me either. within 5 minutes of the wife laying down her cat was back strutting around the bed like it was hers all along.
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 year ago
yup, they do that.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Still at work for a couple of hours. Looking forward to getting some stuff at Bunnings on the way home, then fixing the shower
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago
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.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Drink some water before you sleep. Your head and stomach will thank me tomorrow.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago
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.

The lack of indicators…
Is it broken? I’m not a mind reader! Why the sudden brakes? Is it an emergency?!
Raaaawwwrrrrr!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Is there anything better then flopping on the couch and listening to tropical rain pour down and knowing all the chores and work are packed up at the other end of the country?
No. There is not (at least for this little black duck).
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 year ago
If you see me around, say hi
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Yeah let’s come home, have a few drinks and install a double side mount pullout bin in the kitchen.
That’s done , but I’m not supposed to feel violated afterwards.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
It’s been at 30° inside for the last like 3 hours. I just checked the weather, and apparently it’s 23° outside and has been for a while 🤦♂️
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I thought I’d lost Miss Meow this afternoon, but she was just in my wardrobe snoozing on my socks. Escaping the baking chaos.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Just got told I’m selected for moving into a new team and learning new responsibilities alrdy. Starting early next yr :)
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Was given 7am start on NYE and 8am start on NYD. Good thing I don’t have NYE plans! Last year I felt sorry for myself because I was alone and all my friends were out with their partners or overseas lol. Now I don’t give a shit. Normalise not going out on NYE.

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
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I somehow managed to pinch the skin of my little finger between the lever and body of the mixer tap so much that it bled. An injury I never knew was possible.

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.

DONE FOR THE YEAR!!! Running for the exit as we speak.
SWEET, SWEET FREEDOM! Well for 12 days at least =)

Final home stretch.
Now stuck in a presentation that hasn’t started on time.
Lunch to follow after which I hope to bugger off home as long as I don’t get held back by anything.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 year ago
The random $45.67 I got in my bank account yesterday was indeed from the ATO! Seems like a calculation was done that determined I paid that much too much towards my HECS which is now paid off
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 year ago
“From Youtube Sensation Mr Beast Comes A…” Nope. Dont care. Not even a little bit. good luck with that netflix or Disney or whoever the fuck.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
TheVoid is having an argument with the new mop. It is cute and ridiculous.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago

Your very own chef’s assistant!
omoikiri@aussie.zone 1 year ago
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.
