Was a bit nervous for the 1st one. Not too hopeful, but I think the 2nd one should be better. 🤞🏾

As someone who often has people demanding ‘urgent’ help due to their own laziness and incompetence…

I’m proud of you :)
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Thank you :)

It’s a massive load off your shoulders when you don’t have anything to worry about. I’m glad you feel that way now
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
So gross and sticky and yuck and ugh and bleah and thank fuck for some cooler weather on the weekend. I am OVER this heat. I don’t want to do my dishes or cook… feel like a petulant child. Waaah.

Preach
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ditto and tomorrow is going to be even more horrible.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I have to go pick up some food in St Kilda but other than that I’m not moving out of my air conditioned lounge room. Tomorrow is gross and my colleagues are rightfully not going to do any fieldwork during that period
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
2nd one went better i think. And now I have another tomorrow lol

PSA for anyone with pets, seems like a microchip database company has gone out of business. Doesn’t really say what you can do to check if it affects your pet, maybe check with you vet?

for those wondering:
- it’s not Central Animal Records
- Central Animal Records are offering a registration pathway

Melbcat is thankfully registered with a different company but good to know
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Waiting on a cancellation for the tooth and back on the antibiotics again. Melbcat and I are twinning.
She’s kind of going ok. Been sick a few times this week and seems to occasionally have acute pain (stomach aches?) but also still eating and sometimes goes to the screen door to look outside. I’m still stressed about her health because I love her.
Smiley girl.
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
She is so lovely!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Oh what a beautiful melbcat. Sleep well little one
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Aww she’s beautiful!

That’s one of the sweetest melbcat photos ever 😭

BOM said we will be hot and moist tonight.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Hard to believe it’s going to be 17 and 18 over the weekend.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
But in true bom fashion when it comes down to it it’ll claim to have a headache or something anyway.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m already hot and moist. And hungry.

apple, plain yogurt and some savoys. Afternoon tea of champions. Dont know why the combo works but it does!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s hot already but I don’t care, I’m going out for a long walk and some shopping, will try to walk on the shady side and in parks.
Anyone need anything? I’m going to the drug store and the italian supermarket.

Boss has set the aircon at work to somewhere between Mawson’s Hut and the South Georgia islands. I have brought a down jacket to work to wear in the office until sanity prevails.
One of these days he’ll realise that extra cooling indoors does nothing to moderate the temperature outdoors.Nath@aussie.zone 1 month ago
So, Freddy just came on today and caught me in a pensive moment.
This song hits sooooooo hard looking back on it. It was a dud at the time, his solo efforts were a complete failure. The lyrics of this cover though: I’ve been thinking about what was going on in his life at this time. Hiding his sexuality. Hiding the fact that he has Aids. Looking closely at his made-up face, you can see he is already starting his decline even here. But, he’s pretending.
We lost one of the good ones. ☹️

Treating a BIBLICAL fungus gnat plague right now. This warmth and humidity has clearly horned them up.

Gym complete. Need food and possibly an iced coffee

Boyo and I had an interesting experience at the beach last night.
Teens floating away on a flamingo
While we were swimming about, we spotted two teenage girls with one of those blow up ride on flamingos. They were laughing as it was tumbling about in the wind and they were trying to keep it steady. A few minutes later, boyo asked where they’d gone and we noticed that the flamingo had drifted quite a way offshore, past the boat makers… and the girls were still on it. We honestly didn’t know what to do – there’s no life saving places near where we were and no boats insight. We headed back to shore to get ready to call for help if needed while thankfully some people on the beach had also noticed something wasn’t right. By the time we’d gotten back to shore, the girls had let go of the flamingo and were swimming back to shore and thankfully seemed to be quite strong swimmers. Another man from the shore and my boyfriend swam out to meet them in case they were exhausted/in more trouble than we could tell. The tide was out, so they reached a sandbar and were taking a breather by the time the men got close, at which point they called out to let everyone know they were okay. But holy wow. Boyo was really shaken up by it and we were wondering – who do we call in that kind of case, if the girls had been stuck on that flamingo? Police, ambulance? Had it been a few minutes more, they were definitely beyond us reaching them if they’d needed.

Kiddo has decided dads alright. I’ve gotten more cuddles in the last 5 days than I had all of 2025 so far. Even just now he as walking out the door to go to daycare. I wave bye bye and he turns around runs and gives me a big hug.
I suspect he is a bit sick haha.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Those 2 nurses at the hospital. What horrid humans. Hope they get permanently barred and never allowed to work in healthcare again. And hopefully it’s just words and they haven’t actually harmed anyone. Hopefully.

Ah so nice to lay down at last! Made chicken schnitzel after my shower and did a load of washing which I hung all about the place (poor man’s evaporative cooling lol). I hate this weather because since I started menopause and had COVID last year and had all that rashy business with my skin it’s super sensitive. When I sweat it feels stinging and then itches like crazy. I’ve started having problems with deodorants; I buy one and try it a couple of times and often have a problem with it. It’ll make a rash or it looks like I’ve grazed my armpits somehow. At least my face is almost completely better, healed miraculously fast and now just looks like an odd bit of barely visible reddish sunburn or something. I’ll take the small wins as I can get 'em!

Last week I got an email from the casino (haven’t been in about 6 years) that I have $700 in the cage that they’ll send to the revenue office if I don’t collect it. Just collected it. 😎 Free money that’s not actually free, score.

Saw a bloke today who looked and dressed just like Frank Costanza. I wonder if he knew or was oblivious.
Was thinking that old lady from NYC who was famous for wearing gaudy clothes wouldn’t even warrant a head turn in Brunnie.

So it appears that I’ve been successful in my interview last week. It’s about a 2 month contracting process, but both my managers are happy to be referees.
More money, longer contract and more importantly, no one reports to me!!!
@Gibsonhasafluffybutt good luck today. You got this shit.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
This is wonderful news. So happy for you. 💐🍾
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Thank you, still have to go through some governmental hoops until I get the formal offer, but already have stuff in writing.
Feels pretty good actually.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Woo!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That’s the long term plan :)
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yay, congrats! I’m so happy for you! 🥂🍾
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Congratulations!! They’d be remiss not to recognise your competence.
Also:
Worth its weight in gold.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It is. When I told my manager, he asked if they’re hiring 😁
