Had a nap after my whinge (thank you for your kind words đđ), then went to Savers and got two shirts for partnerâs new job, and two pairs of jeans for myself for under $50 in total.
Then got a massive haul of groceries from Aldi. I transferred $120 to my paying card but it only cost ~$50 all up for all of it. Stuck in the expensive Colesworth mind lol
Winning!
Sleep study night. I am connected to all the wires. Time to try to sleep. Night all
Goodnight, hope you can get some answers!
No idea how anyone can sleep at all with all those wires and things. Luck!
I want to work, and yet no one gets back to me after my last round of applications.
I need a freakin job so I can afford driving lessons so I can actually get a job as an animal attendant. Oh, but I need 2 years experience to do basic sandwich making or retail ffs.
Iâm almost at the point of selling my soul back to call centre work, but thought of doing that again is making me fucking sick - tied to a desk and phone, unable to leave it, power-tripping team leaders and abusive, masturbating customers. UGH! I donât think my mental health could take it.

You have more than 2 years experience - this requirement is basically about getting to work on time on all scheduled days. Industry irrelevant.
Weâll lie for you as your old bosses.
masturbating customers
Jeez.
I should really find a new hobby
You have 5 years experience.
You have ALWAYS had 5 years experience.

weekend away was a huge success. Everything was smooth with the van and kiddo had the best time so alls well that ends well.
Where go?
just down to cowes. under 2 hours from the south east so close to home if anything went wrong. honestly could spend a week on Philip island and not get bored.
Hell yeah!!!
The patch is on and now my arm is itchy. Maybe Iâll put it on my leg next time where thereâs a bit more meat. Or my arse cheek đ
You can do it! Cravings apparently subside after 15 mins.
Thanks mate. So far, so good đ
Sometimes Iâd spank the patch a little during cravings, itâll increase blood flow to the area (more nic absorbed) and it gives you something to do with your hands. The itch is normal.
Is my arm meant to feel a bit funny like Iâve had an injection?
You got this đŞ I know it was mentioned the other day but just to reiterate, leaving it on overnight can cause extra dreaming, lighter sleep. I would always take mine off before I slept but then nice cravings would come back if I didnât fall asleep fast enough đ
Iâll do that đ
We have a reply all fail. Brace yourselves.
How funny is it?
Hilarious given itâs about Security
is that in an out of office autoreply loop
Not yetâŚ
A suicidal jam jar leapt out of the pantry to its doom on the tiles. Red sticky jammy glass everywhere. Great fun to clean up.
Oh dear. I hope it was not too full.
This possibly happened to maintain the balance of jam jar karma within the DT, as I had the good fortune to pick up a good (empty) jam jar from the food cupboard this morning, The universe added to my jam jar collection and took from yours.
This does not account for the jam, or the karmic effect incurred in cleaning up the mess. Which is a very high value as sticky jam plus glass splinters is major. Jam by itself - wipe it up. Glass by itself - sweep/vac & blutack. Both, however, is an existential crisis as the mess can neither be wiped nor swept. Even rubber gloves are not safe from the splinters. And donât even mention the vacuum cleaner.
On the other hand, underwater magpies has incurred a major karmic benefit in cleaning it up. This far outweighs the serendipitous collection of a clean empty jar. I wonder how the universe will balance the scales.
Iâm actually keen for an early night. Hang out with fluffball and read for a while.
Goodnight all â¤ď¸
I have committed to organising the lasers for the sixteenth birthday party. Synthwave is the brief.
Pew pew
cool
Assignments due in 10, 14, 16, 20 and 21 days. I will not procrastinate anymore. I feel like Iâve almost left the 10 days one too late. Time to break down each into steps and give meself some faux deadlines. I can do this.
I donât know whatâs better, multiple small assignments or one big hugely scary one due at the end. Good luck to us both!!
Youâre almost at the finish line, go you!!
I wrote 5000 words in three days for my fourth year meta review submission draft date. You got this.
That wouldâve been stressful. Go you!
Thanks, theyâre like 2-3k words each so I will be bullshitting a lot.
So, Peter Khalil dropped in today.
I went to the door expecting to have to shoo away a salesperson, and was so surprised that I couldnât think of any good questions to ask at the time. I did say I wouldnât be voting for Peter Dutton, though, so thereâs that
On paper, Wills is a blue-ribbon Labor seat - Bob Hawkeâs old seat.
But a third of voters there went Green in 2022. He should be getting out and meeting people/listening to them. They canât take this seat for granted any more.
He did seem a little nervous that I might vote for the greens, lol
i have been marked by a needle
Show us your tats
god is omnicient, god has already seen it
For me, just over three hours left of lentish. I may have some intoxicated morning rants hitting around eleven am tomorrow. Be forewarned.
Well done đ
The change of seasons has well and truly finally hit. Feeling a bit of a cold-ish headache from not adjusting to the temp difference properly and returning to a whole day of desktop work after ages⌠Gonna buy some soup, chug hot herbal tea, and have an early night. This will be my last long work week before I throw myself at uni hardcore.
Iâve been putting off getting my eyes checked for YEARS. I havenât had an exam since I was in primary school. Iâve felt that Iâve needed glasses for a long time but havenât wanted to pull the trigger because⌠Idk. Thereâs no going back once I officially know I need glasses or something? Anyway, Iâm booked in for tomorrow morning, time to find out how cooked I am đ¤
The test/prescription is paid for by medicare, you donât owe the company a purchase of a pair of glasses, theyâll try. If youâre only on a weak prescription, you can order a simple pair of spectacles on Zenni for very cheap.
It makes a difference. I was like that initially but then I realised how much better I can see with my glasses on. Youâll be glad you did it
So after saying this work laptop sucks, I could buy it off work for $100 because the SSD is starting to fail. Switch it out for a new one and it would be right as rain again. It might be heavy and power hungry, but a dealâs a deal
Dude $100 is sweet fuck all
I think Iâm going to do it. Iâve looked at the specs and similar laptops, plus what they must have gone for on the refurb market a couple of years ago. I could probably flip it on Marketplace and make a buck even after replacing the SSD
Thus ends the Sunday night late night for the forseeable future.
Goodnight all â¤ď¸
Got tired of my yt-algo so I looked up how to delete my history, pretty easy actually. Hopefully whatever it re-learns about me doesnât send my down a pile of right wing kak. Iâll need to watch a bunch of lindybeige and philosophy tube to refocus it on my interests.
Basic I know, but search for stuff youâre interested in. I get Aviation and Naval history, Some Marvel, whatever is going on at DashCams Australia, British Panel shows/Taskmaster and maybe some Star Wars/Trek stuff mostly.
What you donât click on matters as much as what you do. Oh, I always mark Shorts as âNot Interestedâ, even if I would actually be interested. I despise short-form videos and would disable them entirely if I could. I can kill them for 30 days at a time on my iPad.
Mine seems pretty easy to train. It didnât take much for it to start serving me up Jon Stewart, Robert Reich, Jesse Welles, Fairburn Films, retro comedy like Fast Forward and The D Generation and random stuff like this
I like hickok54 and forgotten weapons so I get every fucking gunfluencer with their stupid gun shows, like fuck off, Iâve got my two shows, I donât need more, leave me alone.
good night everyone, Iâm beat đ
Does anyone know of an animal rescue or shelter that takes strays?
The ones Iâve tried just say to contact the council and thatâs not going to lead to a positive outcome.
later dudes, đ
Vehicle finances are worked out and I have a short list of vehicles to look at on Wednesday. Hopefully number 1 on my list will be ok (and still available) and I donât have to keep looking. I donât really enjoy looking at cars. Donât tell the salesmen, but Iâll probably pay more just so I can get it over and done with.
The one I am looking at is just out of warranty period and is sold through a Ford dealership that offers a three year mechanical warranty on the used cars. Would it make sense for me to skip the vehicle inspection in this case?
Iâve taken the next step in reducing Microsoftâs presence in my life: Iâve just notified my mother that Iâm cancelling my subscription at the next renewal and she will be back on the free plan.
It is not much of a sacrifice as I still have full access to all the programs through both work and uni, but I wonât be paying them (which was primarily for my cloud storage). I might look at LibreOffice at some point, but the main thing I use is a complicated spreadsheet for my budget and it is highly likely something will break if I try it in a different program.
Wide awake at a quarter to five. Loving this cool weather, the heavy doona is so comforting.
I seem to have been cursed by smoke detectors. There is some humour in this one seemly being able to read a calendar.
I tried a YT short recipie for dins tonight. Mostly for shits & giggles, but it worked. Chicken âfriedâ in water. I used drumsticks cos cheeep so no weeping if I had to toss it. It was quite nice. Will do this again, but with the recommended wings. Sauce was gorgeous in texture but I should have used a tad bit more chili and less mustard. Worth trying.
Today I saw a guy with a Simple Jack haircut.
Iâve removed and hidden that brick :/
The pumpkins have been hand pollinated and buds/leaves wiped down where necessary. There were a few more female flowers open so I hope I get some fruit.
I weighed the remaining foil pan down with a partial brick to prevent the wildlife water from tipping over but given my area Iâm now wondering if thatâs a good idea⌠one of the druggie fuckwits could impulsively throw that right through my window. It would be on camera so I could get them charged and have proof I wasnât responsible for the damage but itâs still not a nice thought.
My stomach is so angry -_- Being stressed all the time just doesnât help. Having another test today.

So a few months ago I stole an extreme;y expensive car from hard rubbish which I hoped would be a nice gift to bro and sil and their baby to be but it has gone back to hard rubbish 1 door down :(
