I believe doing time somewhere in retail or hospitality should be a prerequisite to adulthood. People who are or have been retail workers make far more reasonable customers. Society would do better if customers knew and understood what it was like to deal with customers.

True that

Happy New Year 🐍
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 months ago
and a Happy New Year to you! It looks like it’s cold the way everyone is dressed in the photo. It’s 24° out lol.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
2nd interview was harder. I don’t think I’ll be progressing. But it was good practice.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That’s a great way to look at it! Fingers crossed all the same, maybe they saw it differently!
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It will help you prepare for the right role when it happens
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
The calico bosses the other cats around. She has to eat from the bowl they’re eating from even if she has her own lol
So I ended up getting an offer from a multinational. I’m not getting too excited in case the police check fucks me up.
We’ll wait and see what happens. In the least I have leverage with my current employer.

Cold Jelly in the fridge with cool fizzy drinks, all set!

I’ve got watermelon, berries and enough milk and eggs to last until next week.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 months ago
last night I -Went to bed early -Put clean sheets on the bed -Took a melatonin -Had a warm shower -trashed the freshly made bed with the mrs -drank a chamomile tea -read for a bit Still got woken up at 2 by the toddler who isnt well, and still took me a while to fall asleep in the first place, but I only woke up 2 times throughout the night and didnt stay awake for hours after each wake up, so I’d could that a win!
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Enjoy the cool darkness, Hell awaits…

tomorrow isnt tooo bad, but sunday aint gonna be fun.
Salvo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’m cleaning pigeon guano off solar panels and gutters tomorrow morning on the 2-storey roof. I don’t want to fall off.
Hopefully Sunday will be in solar-powered, air-conditioned comfort tomorrow at home, rather than solar-powered air-conditioned comfort of the local Trauma ward.
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Oh, it’s been revised since I looked. I thought the grilling was today til Mon.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
True, not looking forward to next week at all 😕
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Wisdom teeth? Gone.
Face? Swelled up.
Hotel? Trivago.
The surgeon said my teeth were growing sideways, so I guess I did need them out after all.
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
All 4 of them?
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I think so! There was no room in my mouth anyway.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Getting out my wisdom teeth today. Should be a fun time 🕺

Ice packs, many ice packs!

I’m still trying to tee up a dental specialist… We are both being extorted by the tooth fairy. What happened to the days when losing a tooth gave you money?
🦷🧚♀️💸💸💸
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Losing a tooth gives you money. Knowing exactly where the tooth is and wanting it to be forcibly evicted is the expensive bit.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Ouch! I hope it all goes well.
Eagle@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Snap lock bags of frozen peas work as well. Nice and small and flexible.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 months ago
gelato is your friend.

Don’t forget the soups!

Listening to Sigur Ros has allowed all the stress to drain from my body.
bacon@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Love them
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I got to see them live a while back at the concert hall. It was incredible.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I told people about a cannoli place near work and now it seems like the office has gone cannoli crazy
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
ears perk up Cannoli?
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Yummy Cannoli in Epping. Just above the shopping centre in the industrial area if you’re ever up that way
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Leave the gun.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Wow.
Some of the best cannoli I’ve had were in Reservoir (not sure what the place was called) and Floriana Cakes in Oakleigh ish. Also Brunetti of course. I’m yet to try any down west, but have heard there are good ones around Footscray.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’ve been to EAT CANNOLI on Wood Road, but that could be considered Preston. The cannoli place in the South Melbourne Markets has their factory in Heidelberg West and they also do a nice pork roll there
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Can confirm Reservoir used to be a hub for cannoli - opposite the new council library there’s still a couple of places … Mind you, it’s been a while since I went up there but the cake shops and the good butcher were legit.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Walking Miniest to school and she noticed a Tesla and said “there’s a carzi” (rhymes with nazi). I usually call them swasticars. I asked her if she thought of that one herself, and she said she was trying to think of the word I always said but couldn’t think of it so she said that one instead 😂🤣
chingatello@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That’s so good! Great work from the kiddo there!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I am full of cheese and wine and the love of good friends. Was a bit of a shit week but that made it all better. Now to shower and sleep with the alarm off. Good weekend peeps
bacon@aussie.zone 2 months ago
there was enough lint in my phone’s charging port to start a fire
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I think I need to hit my phone with the non contact cleaner and the compressed air. May not help how the UI crashes when I plug it in though
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Not literally I hope!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Pretty glad I’m swapping today for one of the hellish days next week to be back out in the field, it’s gooooorgeous out there this am. Next week can go suck a fuck.
Dalek_Thal@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Partner tells me there’s a pair of twenty-something (potentially teenage) boys knocking on people’s doors and loudly talking in the Northcote area.
If they are casing houses (ours is a block of flats and we almost never get doorknockers), and she didn’t open the door for them, do we have anything to worry about?
SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Are they dressed in white shirt and black pants? Could be mormons. As far as I know, teenagers don’t ‘case’ houses. They just break in with machetes so they can take the car keys to steal cars. No one wants bcr players anymore and they don’t need to look inside to see if you have one. So yeah, I’d say nothing to worry about.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Tempted to try the goon bag trick in the next few days. Basically just fill it with water, freeze it and hug it all day.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Appliances Online have run out of cheap(ish) portable air cons. Most economical available now is over $800 … screams in capitalism
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 2 months ago
FML. Starting getting sick before my exam, then during my exam I ran out of time.
If I scrape through…
Ugh.

Man, our ancestors were really onto something, belt pouches fucking rock

My dad’s birthday celebration on Sunday and I have to go.

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Date night last night and we went to Melbourne Cable Park to play mini golf and man, that place really impressed me. It was just so super laid back and cool, watching the wake boarders and the people doing the high ropes course was really cool and inspiring. Boyfy and I spent about an hour just wandering around the lakes and checking things out. I drive past it every day, but had never been in there, the inflatables course looks soooo fun.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
trying to get most of the chores and cooking done so I will have hardly anything to do over the hot days 🔥
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 months ago
tone212_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
The weather is just perfect tonight, nice cool breeze. Perfect beer-after-work weather. I will miss this over the next however many days of heat hell.
I’m supposed to be going to a picnic on Sunday 🫠
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Starting to dismantle my shelving system. Recovered from cat pilfering so far: 2 ping pong eye balls, three plastic dinosaurs, a matchbox car, 2 pens, and 4 lip balm tube lids.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Interview 1 went well!!! Really well.
Person interviewing said I’ll most likely be coming in to meet the CFO!
Next one at 1:30pm. Let’s see how it all plays out.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Wishing you good luck!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 months ago
oh awesome! another MSP?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Thankfully no lol
Internal IT with an org that has an existing relationship with an MSP.
Sounds pretty decent from the interview so far. Downside is office attendance for the first few months.
Salary makes it worthwhile.
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Go you!
