There’s a couple of projects happening near my train station so the carparks are filled with trades. Had to park a bit further than usual and missed my regular train by like a minute.
I don’t know these new train people. They’re not my regulars!!!
Spent the entire ride judging them so hard.
6:30 Train people for ever!!!
6:37 Train people might as well be sewer mutants!
I had one of those “I need to make a sudden life change” dreams.
I wonder how things will play out.
I had a dream that I was in a car and we were all randomly stressed and then a little tuxedo kitten literally fell from the sky through the window on my lap. I think someone somewhere was sending me a hug.
Or that you need a tuxedo kitten in your life.
I’ve been craving a change for like a month now. New job, new phone, new bed new SOMETHING. Even just rearranging a room might be nice. i haven’t done it yet cause I’m trying to understand the impulse.
Am listening to Mushroom Case daily.
Anyone got an equivalent podcast for the Diddy trial? Stuck at home for a while, need trashy entertainment…
The Trial of Diddy perhaps?
Haven’t listened to it, but it came up on the search 😁
The Case Against podcasts might be good yoo
One of the boys had a fever and had to be picked up from childcare early on Monday. This resulted in the week up until now just being a fog of Trying To Get Things Done. Things are somewhat back to normal so we’ll see how things play out.
I got Bazzite working on the old work laptop. Silly me didn’t disable Secure Boot. It loads straight into Steam Big Picture on startup, so I wouldn’t use this version as my daily driver, but it would be great for handhelds and loungeroom PCs.
Also, Sleep Token have dropped a new album. I know some people on here dig them. I’m listening to it now.
Belated thanks to our local Witch for the motivation brew. It’s taken a while to kick in for me as it usually is, but here I am finally sat in the uni library with a blank Word document open! And a tab open to ChatGPT where I’m about to explain what my project is about and to please help break me out of my stupid block to just start writing.
Oh that’s awesome! It’s so painful when you just can’t concentrate on THE THING. Once you find that trick that lets you lock in and focus its all go. Hope its a downhill run now
Gosh yes that wall of inertia might as well be the entire Himalayan range for how seemingly endless and insurmountable it is. As always, time pressure (meeting with supervisor tomorrow) really, really helps…
I’ve also had a second coffee today which is 99% of the time a bad idea but it’s helped me push on - I’ve accepted I will be periodically frying my nervous system for the next several weeks to get this goddamn thing finished.
At least I’ve picked up a whole lot of ready to eat food today so I can not think about cooking for a while! I do need to cook this salmon I bought on Sat evening though…
Missing ballot papers found at election workers home
Love it when ads line up with content like that 😂
I did the training, I’m pretty sure that’s not supposed to happen.
They were already counter ballots so not a massive deal - no missing votes phew
Given the outcome, would it have really made a difference?
jist tried guzman y gomez for the first time, and I am full of regret and resentment.
It’s the better fast food Mexican place. It earns some respect for allegedly being one of the reasons Taco Bell failed here, so that’s nice
To me it’s ok but nothing to rave about.
Thanks for the warning.
LOVE GyG personally!
The margarita slushy is alright
I still haven’t been and it doesn’t sound like I will be.
OK fuck it. Doom the dark ages is pre-loading.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks.
I was at a PD presentation today and then later on had a look at the Other Place (using my phone), and there was an ad for the very specific thing the PD was about.
I didn’t google anything related to the topic, and only used my phone to check messages a couple of times.
That was a little too much of a coincidence. Bloody technology, snooping on me. Very creepy indeed.
They say the apps don’t need to use your microphone to listen in and present you ads but this sort of thing happens far too often.
One time my girlfriend showed me something on her phone and I started getting ads on mine. Either they’re listening or they’re scanning faces and delivering ads to known friends
Finally figured out why I don’t feel like I fit in, in the role.
I’m the only guy here who does not wear RM Williams boots.
I swear it’s like a uniform.
Boots must really help when trying to herd emails or if an errant teams message hopped a fence.
RMW/Northface clone army
Haven’t seen the puffers out yet, but getting ready for them.
Surely they go the RMs because they’re one of the few brands that still use Goodyear welts on the soles so you can replace them. Not any fake poser reasons at all, surely…
Gotta be the main reason. That, and only that.
Turn up in RMs AND moleskin pants and one-up them severely
Don’t forget the red/white calfskin vest and the big belt buckle. Cos the bigger the belt buckle, the smaller the property …
ookay, now I just have to book to NZ 👍 early july here I come 🙂
Bring a jumper :)
So excited for you!
Cat had a bad dream :(
Didn’t know that was a thing that happened.
aw, poor sweetie,
Anyone want a gratitude thread? I feel like I’ve been looking at life through a negative lens lately, which doesn’t really help.
So I’m going to start this thread. I am grateful for the beautiful autumn leaves I saw on my walk today. I will show photos next time, as the ones I took today made my location identifiable to any georainbolts out there.
I’ve wanted to mention I’m grateful for the community. Everyone’s so great on here, I’ve been able to ask questions, get insights from people, and just keep up with what others have been getting up to. It’s been nice
I love this community!
I’m grateful that I found a competent therapist this year who could tell me I probably have autism and point in me in the right direction for the first time in my life.
Ayy, same here!!
You’ve got this :)
I am grateful for Melbourne’s coffee
Do you have any recommendations that you wouldn’t mind sharing?
I am grateful I can go to bed shortly and close the door on this shitty fucking day.
Have a good sleep
I am grateful for the frozen calamari I forgot I had in the fridge.
I recently had some surgery (I’m ok, nothing life threatening), and I am very grateful and appreciative of the lovely nurses who looked after me. They were wonderfully kind and skilled, eased my anxieties and made me comfortable. A very big grateful shout out for all the amazing nurses out there, they make such a difference when you’re feeling vulnerable.
I am grateful for my beautiful friend who I had coffee with today, their continued love and support has been a mainstay in my life.
I am grateful for the some what subsidence of this awful headache. Also that my new door arrives at 7am tomorrow so I don’t waste the whole day playing wait for the Tradie.
I’m all set up for getting in the house to be on hard mode again tonight - a few pieces of furniture, a floor lamp and a dog door insert are all waiting for me. I think it will mostly need to be carried straight back out the van so I can take it up to Ballarat, I don’t really have room in the house.
got nearly a full packet of those tiny aldi chocolate chips that are stale and soggy. Surely I can do something to turn them into some muffins or a cake or something?
I’m a grumpy little trash goblin today.
Swam for the first time in a long tome monday. Can I go again today or should I give it another rest day?
It appears it’s been long enough since I used a meal delivery service that I’m eligible for the free boxes again. I’ve ordered a few to make it a bit easier to juggle packing etc. over the next few weeks. Then when I’ve moved I’ll have a shiny new address and should be eligible for more free boxes there. This will soothe the aggravation I felt after paying for a box and then receiving coupons for free boxes to give to everyone else.
Coming home on the train. The stops and places didn’t worry me, I did get a little start when a darkish bloke with a black hoodie, tee and black backpack got on.
I’ll be ok. It was just a bloke
Melbcat came over to a guest for pats and tried to get up in their lap! She needed to be lifted up but then jumped up into the empty chair again after.
I didn’t think she was interested in getting up there anymore but maybe now I need to get a pet ramp and even buy a comfier (destroyable) chair for her.
Exhausted today. Woke up around 11 times in 8 hours.
I’m getting close to the edge of how much I can take.
Tea really aint cutting it. Do I double down and grab another or do I just jump straight to coffee?
Today I am reading Iss. 128 of Philosophy Now , an issue dedicated to all the philosophical, moral and societal questions discussed and raised in the novel and movies Frankenstein. 🧐🧟♀️🧟
