About to get out of here and head up to Beechworth to camp with some animals. I think the boys will love it and it will feed their dinosaur phase

Have fun mate!!!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Oh nice!

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.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 days ago
It’s true women do love a soft tp but anything is better than nothing so fuck her.
Pilk@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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 5 days ago
Haha, I think it was the catalyst to simply unfriend her. But I’m certainly not above being that messy.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Confirmed I have to hand over to feckless coworker.
She rang me almost in tears freaking out about it. I feel bad for her, but she has had to do very little as previous manager protected her.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
She just rang me so I could dictate an email to her. Jesus christ.
You didnt help, did you?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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
tone212_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago
The testosterone flooowwwwws
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
“Bro!!! I fucking told you! Your arms look better than mine”
“fuck you!!! Yours are waaaay better!”

The “bro”’s were definitely flying around in their argument haha

That looks amaaaazing 😍
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Looks like it comes from a fancy restaurant, except I can tell your rice is better. Immaculate grain seperation
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Heheh thanks I am quite particular about my rice. Rice cooker every time. It is basmati and not jasmine rice though.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Prawns…. drool
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
That looks delicious. I am on diet, that’s die with a t. 😭I would have a tiny bit of each component of the dinner.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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.

melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I saw Melbcat’s kitten pics but wasn’t given copies. I should have asked before her old owner passed
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago
So smol! So precious! 😍😍😍
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
She used to fit in my hand lol
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I feel like she was already plotting to take over with her toilet paper based world domination
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 days ago
So tiny. And she already trusts you
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
tinyest now knows “Mine”. You’d be surprised by the amount of things that are now suddenly his.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 5 days ago
He’ll kick you out of bed and claim the whole thing (plus Mum, any animals etc) as his. This is known
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Oh hes already claimed her. I’m the third wheel in this relationship.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 days ago
The kid had a sample of what gastro is like last night. Yep both ends, simultaneously. Gave her a little shock it did.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days 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.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 days 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.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 days ago
She’ll learn to love hydralyte over the next few days. All the best to her. It’s not fun.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 days ago
She’s a little weak but otherwise ok.

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 😎
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Did you notice any… scary data in the sets? Did you clean it?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 days 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
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Don’t forget Severance tonight.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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…
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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.

Confessional Friday:
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been many years since my last confession.
I almost always answer the phone on the toilet.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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?
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 5 days ago
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Haha nice.😂
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I will never even take my phone in there unless it’s in my handbag and I have to use a public loo, which is very rarely
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Same.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 days ago
What do you do when you’re poopin then? Are you just alone with your thoughts and poop?
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I have never ever in my life stepped foot in a church, let alone confess.
I confess that I make fun of my cat for having an empty nut sack.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I shall say a prayer for you and your feline. Seriously though, some churches are absolutely gorgeous inside. Check it out sometime.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
hope you know if I sit down in a stall next to you I’m not putting down the firemans blanket and doing my absolute best to make sure your conversation partner hears the “kasploosh” sound.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I was unaware of the fireman blanket technique.

My upholstery supplies are out for delivery already. I certainly can’t complain about their efficiency.
University of Tasmania library has also been extremely efficient (as usual) and I have a book waiting for me at my door. Mr Woof would have been furious about the incursion.

My first thought before watching the latest Severance episode: why is it so short?
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 days ago
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 themCrocheting 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.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I like Patricia Arquette's hair colour. It's a great grey
And HARMONYYYYY!! you go and bring them down girrrrrl!
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’m pissed and grumpy now, they used the space and didn’t clean anything up so I’ve just spent the last 10-15 mins resetting the space.
I really should have bought a bottle of wine yesterday while I was at Aldi, could have used it to unwind tonight.
Well at least I have snakes and chippies.
Rawr!!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Based on the enthusiastic response to my coffee grinder listing on marketplace I think I can safely say I underpriced it. I had about 25 replies within a couple of hours last night and woke up to another 20, most of which are wanting to come and collect ASAP.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
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.
Anyway tired and grumpy so far.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’m getting my arse kicked in cards. Yikes.
