We’ve had a break in at our office overnight! So far nothing appears stolen, but the office is crawling with cops blowing fingerprint dust everywhere.

Work break-ins are always a fun break-up of the usual routine. One happened at my old job and even though there’s all this expensive musical equipment, the guy just tried to make off with some laptops and cheap guitars.
It looked like the guy was homeless though. So he was more just trying to get whatever he thought would sell, which is quite sad overall

For those who care, Canada beat the USA in the 4 Nations hockey tournament, in overtime.
A great day for Canada, therefore the entire the Commonwealth and largely the world.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I shall proudly wear my Canadian hockey cap, t-shirt and puffer vest this weekend. Seriously I have the collection. (Saved from the skip a few years ago). 🇨🇦
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Thank you for your service. French crullers all around.
Nath@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I sorta do and don’t. I didn’t know the event was on and this news doesn’t change my day in any way.
But if I were asked who I’d prefer to win in a(ny) sporting contest between Canada and USA, I’m picking Canada!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It was kind of like an all-star tournament with USA, Canada, Finland and Sweden sending their best. It’s been a long time since professional hockey players competed in the Olympics, so this was a bit of a trial run before the next winter games.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Mate i dont much care who beats them I’m happy to watch america get their asses kicked all the live long day. Always an added bonus if its the “snow aussies” (I recently heard them called that) take a win as well.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
The game was closer than I’d liked, and to be fair, the US team is absolutely stacked. Next Olympics are going to be fun as heck.

Won’t post because messy background but I have a picture of Melbcat twining her tail around my mug like she was going to pick it up
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I caught my previous cat doing this from a glass of water once, and had the sad realisation that I’d been sharing my drinks with her for quite some time

I’m half an hour late for mine and still have no idea what I actually want to eat…

Oh. It’s gonna be one of those days.

One of the great things about getting into work early is there’s no one there to notice you got in 5 minutes late
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
If you’re in early how are you 5 minutes late?
Or do you have an early start that you happened to be 5 minutes later for?
Please clarify, brain not braining yet.
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Started at bumfuck am, but got in a wee bit lare.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s more a place where you can get in whenever and finish 8 hours from there. I was technically a little late in but damn if I’m leaving at 4:05
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That was an alright sort of day. Feel like I’ve been operating on autopilot… anyway it’s good to be home to a pre-cooled lounge room, time to heat up a hearty dinner and enjoy this week’s tv! My favourite thing about Fridays atm 🥳
What’s everyone’s plans for the weekend? I’ve got to list these dang little items on fbm before my rental inspection in two weeks, and probably do more bulk cooking. Nothing much else otherwise. Try and finish Juice, I guess
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Saturday recovery. Sunday prepare for the week. Washing that loves the outdoors.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Another Saturday chill day person? People often assume I prefer to have active Saturdays and chill Sundays like many others, maybe a hangover from when Sundays were for rest and church and all that but I desperately need my sleep-in and recovery day on Saturday, not Sunday.

looking at houses
getting rid of stuff
reading

House hunting and decluttering can take up so much energy, it sounds like it’s a move for a good reason though? And at least not rushed
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Shopping tomorrow early as possible at Southland for groceries and a click and collect.
Staying cool and catching up Severance if I don’t get to it tonight.
I think cricket match might be on tomorrow so I’ll try and catch that too.
At the moment I have no idea what groceries I want to get so that’s a bit of a bother.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Is it that you’re not sure what you’d like to cook for the next few days? Maybe get whatever’s on special and make up something out of it, that’s often fun.
This week’s Severence was really emotional and definitely moving some characters forward, I’d be keen to hear your thoughts.

I am very much over trying to move and photograph heavy things to sell. Especially because there is not much room to move them in. But I’ve been having a good run on Marketplace and hopefully these will all be cleared out and I can stop tripping over them. buying that antique post drill press seemed a much better idea when I didn’t realise how big and heavy it was! Getting it to the front door if I manage to sell it is going to be quite a workout.

I’ve been to Whistler Blackcomb a couple of times. That’s really all I know of Canada.
So based on that limited experience, 6/5 Hobbits

Taught the kid how to play gin rummy. She did good.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Looks like my good run on marketplace is at an end. Today’s buyer was a no show, and the person who made an offer on another item yesterday has ghosted. I knew it was too good to last!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Well that was surprisingly not so difficult. REA was on leave and had no auto reply but when I called the agency they were very attentive, escalated to another PM who called me then got in touch with the owners and scheduled in a maintenance request all within 2 hours. Pumber called at lunch, they’ll come in on Monday. I guess it’s a good thing the next two days are gonna be hot so I won’t really need the hot water anyway!
Relieved it didn’t involve a whole lot of back and forth and procrastinating from the REA/dodgy edit.

I need to restock my snack tin.
I will be taking suggestions. Savoury or sweet are equally acceptable to me, but please bear in mind my snack tin is a pretty standard rectangular biscuit tin in terms of size.

What up party people
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Downside of new house, no Pokestops! Plenty a short wander away, but no ability to just drop a lure and stay home if the weather is vile. I shall have to do something about this…

omg, I got quite burnt yesterday
also got a hair cut, was tired of longish hair, always getting caught in it when I’m I’m trying to sleep , got 15 cm off
and got a bunch of stuff to give away today, I’ll just put it out in the courtyard
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Frustrated at today. Today should be peaceful and stress free.
Total opposite and not getting through my work as fast as I’d like.
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Test run sedating the cats. TheVoid isn’t visibly affected but the LittleOne is utterly out of his gourd.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 2 months ago
The amount of blankets I had on last night was ridiculous, considering how warm it is going to be today…
Life on the upside (because I’m only a misanthropic misery guts 99.¯9% of the time)… Yesterday, I got an unexpected message from a beautiful soul I know and I passed one unit with an unexpected mark (like the bell curve must have been hell skewed, but I’ll take it damn it!).
I mean, how can I even feel sorry for myself half the time the way I do? I should kick me the backside.
Have an amazing day, DDT fam!

wart talk: the unrooting! because this totally needs to be the first post for Friday 😅🙄
The warts are coming off! They’re unrooting from my toes! Fuck it’s been so painful these past two days, but I think being on my feet all day today helped dislodge them 😅
Cat tax to cleanse the eyes of all those who dared to read my witchy-toes update. I gotchu fam Image
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I think I saw a wattlebird today.
The bin for compost arrived today but the rotary tool to drill holes isn’t here yet. I wonder if I might not be biting off more than I can chew in terms of physical work. Ugh. I would much rather stay in bed with furbaby.
Also look out - Melbcat has been tasting tiny pieces of Marie biscuit and is actually eating them. Next she’ll be sipping my tea!
