Discuss anything, be courteous.
You ever have a day where you have action paralysis, struggle against the brick wall of zero motivation, waste time on rubbish, and then think fck it, I’ve wasted so much of the day anyway I don’t want to even try for the remainder of the day. It’s one of those.
We call those ‘weekdays’.
Feels like every day at the moment TBH.
yup, my day just swung that way. Time to down tools
That’s exactly it for me, I said I was going to do all these chores, 7 hours later barely budged. I just rolled with it after it became clear nothing was happening. Luckily I can get away with it now… pretty soon I won’t.
I’m right there with you

One of the most important members of the technical team rang me on my mobile (im on sick leave) and told me she’s quitting.
She is one of the most amazing and intelligent people i have ever met. She is the companies knowledge base, and they are doing to her what they’re doing to me. The work overload.
They pay her poorly. Very poorly. And knocked back raises in the past.
I told her what I did, and she’s going to give it a last shot.
Rome is burning.
Telltale signs of shitty management. If this isn’t addressed quickly and effectively, time to leave. Good luck with the job search :)
If everyone’s leaving what are they left with it?
You assume that business owners and management want to have a thriving and growing business. To too many owners and management a business is just a vehicle from which to extract money and or power/benefits.
The sad bit is that the workers believe in the work.
5 year old would not sleep at all last night.
Exhausted.
Work is utter hell, I want to go home already.
World is going to shit.
The light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
-screaming intensifies-
If you need formal permission to bounce, you have it.
I’m the only one on-site today in my area (as usual lately), if I bounce there’s nobody to stop me 🤔
I have devoured several potat, with misc veg and bean toppings.
Nigh nigh
Look what I found. My sister knitted them for my daughter years ago. I’m not throwing them out. They’re heirlooms now.
They’re adorable! Definitely hang onto them!
I’ve been reeking of garlic (and, embarrassingly, sweat) all morning and lolling around in bed shamelessly avoiding uni obligations. House is a dumpster. Well, I’m done with being gross now… time to start with the mountain of chores to bring this place back to sanity.
Lol. I’ve got stuff on the floor in every room but I have tidy cupboards and drawers. Throwing out a heap of shit. I found napisan that expired in 2014. Everytime I mark something off my list I add another 2 things to it. I feel ya. 💜
Gotta keep running to stay in place, feels like…
We’ve had a clear out of the child’s room… 5 trips to the op shop and I still have 2 boxes to take, and filling up a 3rd. And I’m about to tackle the plastics drawer and that dreaded 3rd cutlery drawer…
Must be the day for it. I’ve been putting stuff off and now need to just bite the bullet and get it done
It’s escaped my attention until now, but next Monday is a public holiday. We have a long weekend coming up!!! Yippee!
Yeah, I meant to swap that one for a less problematic day but forgot how much notice is required to do so. Oops.
I have a couple days overtime accrued already, so i’m taking tomorrow off too :D
Good thing we all have monday off, 37c forecast yikes
Is everyone Celebrating Australia Day/ Commiserating Invasion Day on Sunday or Monday?
I need to get the Lamb Chops for the BBQ, but don’t know exactly when I will be having them for Lunch.
dont really do anything since they moved hottest 100. I get why they did it, but it took away the main event for me.
Doing nothing but resetting my internal clock and staying cool inside.
Invasion Day, but not doing anything in particular. Existence consumed by sleep & boxen.
Sunday for the chops and snags. Monday is a bonus day.
oh F yes!
Yet another wave.
Also got into a barking contest apparently with an elderly St. Bernard doggo. This thing was huuge. They’re gentle giants but I lost that one had to yield.
I love the colours in that one.
I do not know what I want for dinner. Sorely tempted to load a baked potato up to fuck and just eat that
Potat is very nutritious. Go for it.
Do it. Easy is good. Maybe the world will look a smidge brighter after some food. Or you’ll have a bit more energy to burn everything down.
Fuckkk, Spud was being forced to withdraw cold turkey due to not being able to afford nicotine therapy and barely having money for food.
@StudChud@aussie.zone When you see this if you can get to one of the places you can get some food for Mickey …com.au/…/scar-pet-food-pantry/
There are food banks around that might have relaxed eligibility
And there might be bulk billed consults or reduced cost/free nicotine therapy
I don’t check here every day so I missed all that info. But, if they’re reading this and struggling with nicotine withdrawal and not wanting to quit or cold turkey, DM me.
Ps. Sorry if this is none of my business
You’re free to speak about it, you can also disagree if you feel differently about anything.
I thought she was working and studying too?
I remember her saying she doesn’t have a job right now. I hope she is doing okay
Probably.
I hope both are okay
Once a little sugar ant made up his mind to roam - To fare away far away, far away from home. He had eaten all his breakfast, and he had his Ma’s consent To see what he should chance to see; and here’s the way he went - Up and down a fern frond, round and round a stone, Down a gloomy gully where he loathed to be alone, Up a mighty mountain range, seven inches high, Through the fearful forest grass that nearly hid the sky, Out along a bracken bridge, bending in the moss, Till he reached a dreadful desert that was feet and feet across. 'Twas a dry, deserted desert, and a trackless land to tread, He wished that he was home again and tucked-up tight in bed. His little legs were wobbly, his strength was nearly spent, And so he turned around again and here’s the way he went - Back away from desert lands, feet and feet across, Back along the bracken bridge bending in the moss, Through the fearful forest grass, shutting out the sky, Up a mighty mountain range seven inches high, Down a gloomy gully, where he loathed to be alone, Up and down a fern frond and round and round a stone. A dreary ant, a weary ant, resolved no more to roam, He staggered up the garden path and popped back home.
First! Bite me.
Jesus christ, giveacrap just keep digging that hole.
failed delivery due to shitty delivery cononay - i bring it to their attention - they resend with same company and driver rinse and repeat six friggin’ times
I look up our order history and realise this shit has been going on with every single order for the past year. F this. I cancel everything. Ain’t got time for that shit. Especially since the guys who deliver my cat litter do tp now.
Leave a review on productreview under the usual nick telling them they used to be great, but now they’re not and they need to stop using the cheapest, shittiest couriers and callcentres they can get their hands on, and they’ve lost a loyal customer.
This <censored> from their staff doesn’t pm me on productreview, but instead runs my nick through their database, matches my email and emails me directly asking ‘did you leave this review?’ Not looking to resolve the issues or regain a customer, nope, just wants the bad pr to go away.
He’s about to becomes extremely fucking acquainted with the word ‘inappropriate’
I sat through two hour long meetings today so I think I can take 6 hours sick leave instead of 8
Lovely day update - bliss has been interrupted my multiple mowers and power tools. Neighbours really hate silence.
I love my local group even if is on FaceAche. Nabbed a free cat auto feeder. Might save our toes being chomped at stupid AM. Assuming they don’t figure out how to break into it at midnight…,
Oh fuck me.
I tried to book some leave for after the moratorium - we’ve got a brief hold on leave requests for everyone because new stuff coming through the pipeline etc - and the new system to book it is a fucking nightmare.
I need a break and I can’t even organise one
The longer this goes on, the more I think I’m actually a bit burned out
The sun rose today.
The sun set.
I could not be arsed making dinner but I’m glad I did, even if it’s a late one. There’s nothing more comforting after a shitty day than a home cooked meal. Steak cooked to perfection 👌
today is a day of cooking and then hopefully I won’t have to cook for at least another 4 days
Today’s shit
I forgot how good Peter Steele’s voice is. Shame on me.
It shall be a Type O Negative afternoon. 😈
Am trying to complete Medicare claim forms and have been on the phone with the infuriating automated service
It’s not too early to start drinking, is it?
Today is absolutely lovely outside. Gonna try to be cheerful for once.

Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m sure you are suffering greatly. Take some medication for the pain.

Looks absolutely awful. Next time you go somewhere this terrible let me know in advance as I’m calling dibs on the spot in your suitcase.

Joke’s on you. It’s grey and cloudy here.
Way better than what you have!
