    Finally home!!!

    @Duenan@aussie.zone Ive got the game you’ve been playing!

    source
    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚hours⁩ ago

      I cannot wait to hear what you think of the game!!

        That trailer was insane!

      I’ve been such a bad influence on a few people here.

      It’s such a good game and the soundtrack is amazing as well to go along with it.

      Probably best to avoid my videos.

      The early ones I have are from optional bosses but there are some story ones mixed into my channel now.

      Let me know if you need any pointers.

      It’s a wild ride.

        I’m 7 hours in and utterly obsessed. It’s such a beautiful game!

        I’m thinking I’ll wait till tomorrow night because I won’t be super tired.

        All I saw was the trailer and I was hooked! Bought it as soon as I could.

        Hell yeah!!!

    Was tired but had meal with a friend who invited another person because she figured we would get on. We did. New friend? It’s nice. I am not good with understanding that people might like me. Even when we have demonstrably been mates for decades. But I try. It’s nice to be rewarded with a good night out and no anxiety.

        Thank you. It’s a thing that is a bit broken in my mind. I know objectively that I am loved but I just have to physically remind myself. Like ‘why does this person sound excited to catch up?’
 Oh yeah because they are my friend. I have no trouble feeling friendship towards others
? Just a broken connection somewhere.

        I really appreciate that I can share this stuff here. It helps. A lot

    Very soon.

        Thankfully I got home at 9.

        Im cheap so I bought the marble cheesecake squares from Coles.

        Next week I’m grabbing a cake from cheesecake factory or whatever it’s called here.

        Mmmmm cheesecake!

    wanker customer

    Customer: I was going camping and we found the security tags on these clothes, but we lost the receipt. Me: sorry, I can’t take it off without a proof of purchase. I know it’s frustrating. Customer gets aggro Customer: you don’t sound very sympathetic, I can tell from your voice Me: sorry if it came across that way, it wasn’t my intention to come across like that Customer: says nothing your team should be doing a better job and looking out for the tags Me: I’m sorry about that. it’s not even my fault Everyone who gets the security tags taken off needs a proof of purchase. Her: what, you think I’m stealing? Customer eventually shows a couple of bank transaction and I just take them off. I’m just questioning if my tone of voice is shitty and not sympathetic enough. I asked a colleague, and she said I’m impossible to get mad at. So maybe the customer took it the wrong way. Now I brush it off and serve more customers. Yay.

    source
    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁚4⁩ ⁚hours⁩ ago

      I agree with Gibson. Why not just show the bank transactions first? Because they wanted to get shitty at someone.

      source
    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚hours⁩ ago

      Fuck them. If they had half a brain they would have offered the bank transactions first.

    That was a loooooong drive home.

    The GPS told me traffic was really bad on my route, but assured me if I followed the new route it had calculated I would be home before 7. I decided to trust it, and ended up going through a bunch of places I did not recognise (Ascot Vale and Travencore included). Once I was on that route the GPS informed me that traffic was actually bad that way too and there was no way I was getting home before 7.

    When I did finally get home there were packages waiting though - Miss Meow’s tree cat scratcher and the leaf shaped mats for the garden themed corner, Mr Woof’s new fluffy grey rugs for the front bedroom, and the big rug for the lounge. The big rug looks nicer than I was expecting and is very soft.

    I am missing three out of four lip balms. I have accumulated that many because I bought one, then my mum bought a pack of three and gave me two, then the other one was because the first one was running out. I hope they’re in a pocket somewhere, because it’s driving me a bit insane.

    Anyway, happy Friday! Cheers đŸ»

  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁚14⁩ ⁚hours⁩ ago

    I have house! 🏠

    Still no power, but that should be connected some time today. I’ll need to figure out how to light the pilot light on the water heater at some point, but’s not urgent. I won’t be actually moving in for a few weeks.

    It is as expected a bit on the dirty side - just the expected layer of dust etc. that accumulates in an empty house. It does mean I won’t have to do a perfect clean when I leave at least - but I definitely need to add window cleaning to my to do list sooner rather than later!

    For afternoon fun I shall measure all the things, then assemble a bed and side tables and a couple of cat trees.

    In other good news for the day, the accidental foam couch makes a quite comfortable temporary seat, so I have something to sit on before the furniture is delivered.

    source
    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁚14⁩ ⁚hours⁩ ago

      Pilot light - if it’s like my old gas water heater, there’s a ignition button you push a few times and hold once you hear gas, then watch for the flame to appear underneath and release.

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁚13⁩ ⁚hours⁩ ago

        My old water heater used about 16 matches and a complicated pattern of pressing and releasing the gas button. It never occured to me new ones would self light.

        It is an instantaneous heater, so no waiting required.

    I have bed!

    Image

    That took a lot more work putting together than anticipated, and I still have to screw down the slats. I’m happy with how it looks though. I don’t think I’ve got enough enthusiasm left to start on the side tables today, I might have a start on the dining table and cat trees instead.

    I still don’t have any power. Hopefully it will be done soon, I’d like to have it on before I leave.

    I accidentally deleted an entire Facebook campaign at work today. I recreated it but it was just more time and panic.

    The ads section of Facebook has such a terrible interface. It’s so clunky and confusing. You’d think that would be the one good part given it’s how they make their money

        I used to see that attitude when I was living in Carlton. Rich students would just leave an apartment full of furniture and even their car when they finished uni and went back home to China. Their stuff would end up on the footpath.

    So does anyone else think that the leftovers that the kids ate was actually the leftover beef, not the beef wellingtons. They talk about meat, potato and beans, nothing about pastry. I know the mushrooms were “scrapped off”, but I reckon they just ate beef, not beef prepared as wellingtons.

      She never fed Wellington to the kids.

      • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁚8⁩ ⁚hours⁩ ago

        Yeah, but it was phrased as the kids ate “the leftovers, but she’d scraped the mushrooms off”, so it sounded like the leftover wellingtons, hence why the medical staff were scared for the kids. But what the kids are saying sounds like it was just beef.

    Starting to realise that anxiety is just like being physically ill. It fills nearly all our thoughts/prevents other thoughts. When we live an anxious life we are never bored, never have empty time to fill, it keeps us busy.

    This year I have recalled a few times a strange little book I read many years ago, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, it describes obsessive and dysfunctional thoughts very well. ( not that I’m a sinner! ) The days and years fly by.
