I am pleased to inform you all that today coming home there was no terrorist on my train.
I admit to getting a little nervous when we stopped at Footscray.

Barely past 9am and already had enough.
This week bodes well.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
tired already
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
My afternoon downers are hitting about 3 earlier.
I did not consent to this.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Slept too well to justify a coffee, but one tea ain’t cutting it.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I slept really well too BUT woke up at and 5 and fell back asleep until 6 instead of getting up.
I’m well rested but need a caffeine jolt.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Saaaame. Fucked a tyre around the corner from work (so not far enough away that I could use it as an excuse to not come in), warehouse is absolute fucking shambles, just grumpy at everyone.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Sorry could help myself
nswf humour
Of course you came in when you fucked a tyre. It’s not like you can pull out!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Fucked a tyre
Ooh seems like a new trend!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Oh shit that’s a bad way to start the week.
Hope this day flies and tomorrow is a fresh and better start.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
It feels like Spring.
Spring, but with an underlying scent of existential dread.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
the weather be a little odd
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
That’s a good looking moon.

You’re a good looking calmoon 🌝

Here comes the chaos (according to the full moon skeptics)
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I’m looking around at all the stuff that needs to be packed and feeling very unmotivated. I’d like a magic wand please.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I’ll do you one better. Let me present the Tinybreak guide to packing:
1)Make a bunch of Boxes
2)Pick up an item
3)consider “does this spark joy”?
4)Decided you dont care, yeet it into a box.
To take this to the pro level: -Skip Step 3 and try to avoid putting fragile shit at the bottom. A couple of drinks and a bluetooth speaker with some gym music really helps things along too.
To be clear, this is legit advice. yeet it all into a box sort it out at the other end.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I still have a few weeks before the move and I’d like to cull some of my stuff a bit more instead of moving stuff I don’t actually want. Panicked yeeting into a box is scheduled for everything left the week before the move.
I have managed to pack two boxes of fragile servingware today. All boxes are being liberally padded out with bits of fabric from my stash. By the time I get to the sewing room there should not be much fabric left to pack.

Sending house pixies your way, when I find them
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Ooh, I leaned about how to find those when I was in Brownies. You have to go find a pond, turn around three times and look in the water while reciting a rhyme to see them. It goes “twist me and turn me and show me the elf”. You look in the water and see… yourself.
Indoctrinating young girls into their role as house keepers, gotta love it. Pretty sure the Scouts didn’t get that one. Unfortunately it’s also right, this is all on me. I’d rather a helpful pixie.

Happy Eurovision week to those who celebrate 😁
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Are we you the song about blowjobs? The song about coming? Or the song about saunas?
Wild that this is a perfectly valid sentence this year! I am 100% sauna, but I intentionally don’t listen to too many songs before hand so may be surprised on the night.

I am sooo tempted to ask kindly to have one of the gingers.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Me too…
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Can you start a DT cat shelter? Pretty pleaseee
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
My whole dream is to buy a piece of land or an existing farm property with some land and start an animal shelter

Bugger it, my local gym is closing. I’m especially sad because it’s got one of the best cycle rooms. Fingers crossed another gym moves in, it’s in such a convenient spot for me.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Ahh, jury-free day for Erin Patterson’s trial in order to condense stuff and apparently try and finish up quicker.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Ooh ooh ooh I think the ABC have quietly called Kooyong for Monique Ryan. Still in the realm of just under 700 votes ahead at 89.4% of votes counted, but if the ABC is confident about this then… hooray! Can’t do much about Tim Wilson but it’ll be great for Amelia Hamer to be relegated to irrelevance
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Looking after aunt’s doggo for 3.5 weeks in a few days.
Have to juggle that w/ a bunch of other stuff but should be alright. Pretty low maintenance at his age now thankfully. Being so long gonna see if I can get him a bit more fit.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Oh dear, I did washing this morning and just realised I forgot to hang it up! I must hasten to the drying rack…
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
argh, so itchy today!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
y’know
I think I have a hang over …lol
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
once again I appear to be doing things man is not meant to do…
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
The expensive maintenance thing the previous owner of my van was putting off turned out to be a timing belt. So my plans to maybe go to the new place tomorrow have been put off to allow time for the belt to be replaced. Otherwise all looks as expected for a six year old van, so that’s good.
Mr Woof’s new travel crate has been put together and I have his sheepskin blanket folded in the bottom. He should be quite cosy there once he gets used to the idea of being confined - I just have to work out the best way of strapping it down in the back of the van.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Late start to the day but I’m going to find the motivation to start on this cursed thesis somewhere, I know I’ll find it… maybe it’s behind my couch… maybe I should check my butthole (ski-bap, ba-dap, butthole!)
I still haven’t taken out my oodie btw. I AM loving these glorious sunny but cool days without too much wind, but I was expecting this last month?? Not now? I haven’t even worn my trackpants yet!
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Rates notice for the wrong house. Somebody done fucked up.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Pretty much given up on work. Only delivering the essentials and not taking any initiative since other teams have started dumping their tasks on us with no consequences. Warned my boss that the reward for other teams not doing their work is them getting to assign us isn’t going to fly with me.
Apparently, our director “isn’t happy with the situation” but given they are yet to do anything to stop it they may as well be endorsing it.

I’m starting to party plan this week I’m thinking I might need to buy some nice new drinking glasses then I look in my cupboard and I discover I really don’t but they will need a nice wash.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
The new toaster oven/air fryer has arrived. I have a test batch of hash browns cooking now.
I’m glad I was able to get the spiffy black and silver model, it matches the black microwave quite well.

After being “a really amazing candidate, ɓut we just had this other person with x” for way too many jobs, I’ve finally been offered a job that’s interesting, uses some of my skills, is 20 minutes from home, and is good money. Fucking finally.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
That’s amazing. I think my work being so close to home has made it a lot more tolerable than more interesting jobs further away

Congrats! You deserve a break after such a long job search. And to hit the trifecta of easy commute + interesting/relevant + $ is particularly awesome.
