Thunderstorm just rolling over the village, but the house battery is fully charged and I need not fear the inevitable power cut.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Submitted another assessment, and passed the two I submitted last night. Phew!
Gotta wait for the quizzes to open, and complete the last two assessments on WHS, and I should be good.
I really hope I hear back about that job I interviewed for on Tuesday. I’m trying not to think too hard on it, just remain hopeful but not dwell. It’s so hard because I’d freaking love it. Argh!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Good luck!

The rain has stopped and the sky is the prettiest I’ve seen in a while

Listened to a podcast about a guy who pretended to be a Saudi prince and defrauded people out of millions of dollars. He managed to access a credit card with a limit of $200 million and no one really knows how he did it.

people voted for Trump, nothing astonishes me any more
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
If you’re attractive, friendly and confident I bet one could do all sorts of crazy shit tbh
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Just booked flights back to Perth for first time in about 6 years. Family excited. They come over here a lot so I haven’t been totally neglectful but yeh haven’t been back since pre COVID
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
This is great news. 😊
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
pounds desk RAIN. RAIN. RAIN. RAIN
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Please accept my apologies for bringing an umbrella to work today. The delay in actual rain is entirely my fault.
bacon@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It will pour when I get off the train and walk home

Gorgeous colour.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago

Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Happy to get a few this year lol. Last year was a write-off.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
They’re so pretty! 😍
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Today I am trying to cut as much dairy out of my diet as I can. Just to see how bad this intolerance/allergy really is.
Otherwise, weight loss continues. clothes getting baggy. 😊
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I hope you find what you’re looking for. 🙂
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I should go in for testing like miss seagoon did 😵💫
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Good morning Melburnians. There will be sunshine, wind, rain, possible storms. A little for everyone today.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Have to head back to melbs on PT… bugger.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Luckily the trains have roofs. You’ve got this.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Good morning. It’s will be an interesting one for sure.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Definitely a hold on to your hats kinda day.

Someone’s playing guitar real late. It’s pleasant though. Twangy, slow, country-esque tune, a lilty voice that’s too faint to make out.
It’s a vibe and I’m vibing
bacon@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
i want mcdonalds for breakfast tomorrow. i hope the weather allows that.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Luckily macca’s have roofs.

The breaky wrap is back if you want to eat something in the car
tone212_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I just picked up $2 that I found on the floor. Would you do this or did I stoop to a new low?
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I pick up everything, it’s all money.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’d pick up $1 or $2. Amounts under that will depend on my mood.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’d pick it up. Finders keepers.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m a bit concerned about this weather. I told Mr Woof it should be cool enough for afternoon walkies today, now it looks like we could get rained out.
bacon@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You did not lie. It is cool enough.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
He needs a little doggy raincoat and boots. Although I suspect he’d be completely fine getting wet, and would love to roll wet-dog-smell all over your carpets
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
He does have a raincoat. No boots though. He’s fine getting wet, but when he is wet he will roll on everything and run up and down the hallway rubbing against the walls. So if he does get wet he has to wear his robe until he dries off.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
There was 6 lamb chops. Theoretically 2 each but they were so good and the kid took too long to get to the table that I declared “there’s only one chop each” and wrapped the other one up for the dog and I to share for ron.
AITA?
P.s. Don’t worry. She won’t starve. I gave her more vegetables and she didn’t even mention how delicious the chop was. Only mentioned how good the mushroom was.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
YTA. making the poor dog share a chop when you have already had your share. Shameful.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thought as much. I give him a bit of mine and he didn’t even chew. He better not blab or he’ll get zilch.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Keys to the old house handed it. Good riddance, hope they knock it down.
Less great it looks like the next door neighbour who helped himself to our garage is going to be an ongoing problem. No, your tradies may not traipse back & forth through my house all day. Grrr.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
pork katsu bento. how bloody good! starting to like the miso soup as well.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’ve always been a bit meh on miso soup. It’s ok enough, but if it wasn’t there I wouldn’t miss it. Everything else in a bento is delicious.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Stupid back and the stupid amount of pain it brings. Can barely even get on the foam roller.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s World Happiness Day today 🙂
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
If we get some decent rain, then I will be happy.
bacon@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
We are rebellious. We must be grumpy today.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m happy because it’s not fucking sweltering and I can do a workout today.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Hmmm 😾
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I got very lucky with my tech support session yesterday. I just had to set up a scanner, which could have been simple enough, but the laptop wasn’t connected to wifi, nor was it picking up the hotspot from my phone.
Fortunately, the laptop was old enough to still have a disc drive. So I was able to install the drivers from the disc that came with it instead.
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Every house with thise demon diveless devices should have at least one usb cd/dvd rom. Prople mock the humble optical drive until the shit hits the fan, then they roll around squealing
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I have one of these. I also have a usb 3 1/4 floppy disk drive, do I get bonus points for that?
dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I plugged a leftover usb sata hdd controller into an internal cd-rom drive to get USB CD action a few months ago. Kinda surprised, kinda impressed.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It worked in this case. But it was so weird with this laptop, it wasn’t picking up any wifi networks. They had an ancient laptop at home as well and that one was connected to the wifi there. I was even able to connect the printer to the wifi via WPS. This laptop was picking up nothing. I was ready to drive down to the nearest Jaycar and pick up an ethernet cable.
I think I assume to much of a tech competence baseline in these sessions. At first I was worried they wouldn’t be able to login to the laptop because they bought it a while ago specifically to scan photos and hadn’t touched it in years. I should ask people to have their diaries with their passwords handy, make sure they can login to the devices and accounts they want to work on, and I should bring a couple of common cables just to make sure as well.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Waking up at 530 completely refreshed is not usual for me.
Things of note today
2nd last of current role. Tidying up some things for handover and that’s pretty much it.
New AC game out, which shall be purchased swiftly
My new cannabis script is arriving at some stage.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Looking forward to this weekend!
Have band rehearsal with new band Saturday which should be fun.
Will go out Saturday night, have a couple of options.
Then 2 more days or work next week and I get a week off till I start the new job!!!
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Pizza night I declare and Hawaiian it is!
Also picked up some thin little crispy things. 3 packets for 2 bucks each at 185g.
Good deal and don’t taste too bad either.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Getting proper rain here now in Thornbury.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Alright I have bought a carrot, quarter head of cabbage, red capsicum and some green beans to cook with the remaining eggplants and new pack of tofu puffs. And braved Glenferrie Rd to get the requisite spice paste earlier. Let the sayur lodeh commence. Even though I will not have lontong to eat with it
bacon@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
air sticky
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Legitimate question; what has happened to the Monash Freeway the last four or so weeks? Morning commutes are now ~75 minutes from like 6:30am onwards. Used to be a clean run up until like 7:15 or so.
