    Last real day of work tomorrow.

    Mainly meetings. Monday is do nothing day and Tuesday is the last day. Catching up with people Tuesday for lunch.

    It’s almost over.

    Thunderstorm just rolling over the village, but the house battery is fully charged and I need not fear the inevitable power cut.

    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!

    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.

    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

      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

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    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 ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      YTA. making the poor dog share a chop when you have already had your share. Shameful.

      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

        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.

        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.

    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.
