    Unreasonably annoyed at an old boss who went out of her way to criticise me for ordering Who Gives A Crap toilet paper for the office because I “didn’t understand how women’s bodies work” and that “women need soft TP”. Mind you this was when WGAC was brand new and before the order had even arrived, and we were a fellow Melbourne startup so I thought pretty good karma at least to support their brand.

    Caught her several years later on social media saying how she has always loved WGAC. No babes. You have not.

    Anyway, I think of this anecdote whenever I refill my toilet roll. Haha.

      It’s true women do love a soft tp but anything is better than nothing so fuck her.

        First to admit that labia-friendliness was not one of my considerations. I certainly received an education.

        Slightly unrelated but what also prompted my post was stumbling upon this thread about/with deadmau5. People will remember how you made them feel and all that.

      stir the pot. Call her out! “Oh really? Guess you dont remember the time you went off on my cause you claimed it wasnt soft?”

      • Pilk@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Haha, I think it was the catalyst to simply unfriend her. But I’m certainly not above being that messy.

        I said I was busy.

        I sent her a link to my Asana board with everything neatly set up and she goes “I don’t get it, I’m confused”.

        Looks like favouritism bites them in the ass. She can’t even compose an email hahaha

    Drama at the gym! Two guys going at each other, loud yelling and thought it was going to turn into a fight. Others broke it up. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like that in a gym, it’s usually a happy place.

    The kid had a sample of what gastro is like last night. Yep both ends, simultaneously. Gave her a little shock it did.

    source
    • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Bucket by the toilet when gastro comes knocking. Better to be safe than sorry. And I’d rather clean vomit out of a bucket than the other stuff outta pants or off the floor.

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Apparently what happened was she lent over to turn the taps on the bath and up it rose up and out so she squatted down and it came out the other end.

        I heard a weak “mummy”. I go in, see what’s happening, hold her hair back. She says “do you think it was the pasta I had at school? And I’ve shat on your mat”. I reply “yes and dear god”.

        The child then had a shower with clothes undies on and one soiled bath mat.

        I explained what to do next time. Run to the toilet with the bucket.

    Packing continues. Even tho I culled large amounts of belongings over the past 8 months I still have a lot to pack.

    I am still very excited to move.

    It’s a quiet area and I will have so much more privacy too. I hope to get so much work done, art projects and life skills projects, and recuperate from living in this stressful place.

    Decent day of field work owning some data, didn’t get too caught up in disgusting traffic on the way back managed to get to the Todd Rd exit and take some back streets through Port Melbourne. Back at it tomoz to finish up unassessed areas and then (ugh) redo some areas with dodgy existing data … May need an extra day to get through it all.

    Then I’ll need to hurry up and prepare the data for an entire other area up north and start attacking that asap. Goal is to finish it all by the end of the month. I might just squeeze it in bearing in mind I have a friend visiting from overseas for a week as well…

    But for tonight, after having had a couple of drinks with colleagues I am gonna give in to my seafood craving and make a nice Thai seafood curry. I’d normally get takeaway but I think I prefer to spend my money on getting heaps of prawns to make it myself at home. And then I get to really enjoy this week’s tv 😎

      Did you notice any… scary data in the sets? Did you clean it?

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I’m going to find out when I actually sit down and analyse the data (still collecting it in the field). P sure there will be some dread and woe buried in there and much refining will be needed. I may need a music dance experience to motivate myself

        First on the list once I’ve made dinner and had a shower! Kind of feel like maybe I should’ve got takeaway as it’s gonna be well past 8 by the time I finish - just walking back home with the goodies - but I’m going to believe that I’ve saved enough money to be worth it…

    knock off in 3 and a half hours with 1 hour lunch break inbetween.

    Can’t wait to get out of here today. Avoiding everyone and hiding.

    I do admit I’ve been playing on my phone more than I should but I don’t really care today. I’ll do some work but I’m not going to fully commit because I’m pissy today.

      As in if it rings while you are on the toilet you will answer, or when it rings you usually head to the toilet to answer it there?

        If you want to really understand the insides of christian churches, check out Margaret Visser’s incredible book The Geometry of Love.

        She looks in depth at an ‘ordinary’ suburban church in Rome, and dissects out the meaning of practically every inch of it. One of the most stunning books I’ve ever read I think - a sort of natural history of churches. I like her other books too.

    I bought some knitting pattern books for baby clothes. I’m not a kid person but I figure it would be easier to finish small fast projects. Places like St Kilda mums would always take them. Melbcat may even finally run out of luck and wear them

    Crocheting something to donate and thinking of Lemon.

    I probably made the right choice migrating given Spez’s stance on emulating the Muskrat and the developments there but I kind of thought I’d split my time equally between sites… until a rivalry emerged and the old place changed.

    I miss Lemon. Stompsie. Epicpillowcase. Smeg. I really like this sane low drama corner of the internet but there are so many people I wish had come with us.

    I’ve made a few new friends this week, and reconnected with a few old ones too.

    I’m really happy about it. Things weren’t great since lock down and it’s nice to have a few different groups to hang out with.

    I’m a bit of a social butterfly, but lock down really fucked me up.

    It’s just nice to talk to more than 2 people all the time. Not that there’s anything wrong with them. I’ve just always felt like I’m an acquaintance to them whereas to me they were pretty much my only friends.

    It’s a relief.

    First world problems here.

    It’s my homeless week at work. Someone’s using my workspace today so I can’t settle down there early and I’ve had to move rooms twice already just to have my “breakfast”.

    Also missed out on car parking today so I’ve had to park down the street, really sucks having to haul my stuff because I don’t have anywhere secure to keep this stuff week to week.
