Irl cake day today for me. We are insanely busy at work so won’t celebrate until the weekend. EOFY is weird this year - weirder than normal and people are doing strange things with their money. Profitable for us, but I wonder at the fallout later on.

eyyy happy birthday! demand your coworkers pay for lunch
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Happy birthday 🎉🥳
Maybe when people are finding money a bit tight they do try to get “deals” like buying EOFY discounts and trying to claim things on tax? Hopefully the contrast of busy now and relaxed later will make weekend celebrations even better?

He’s disgusted in whatever you were doing without pants on.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
He says ‘Well? Help me get them on.’
Eagle@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Got snacks?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Nah I got up to go to the loo instead of the fridge.

I don’t think Monash IVF should be advertising right now on the telly. PR team working overtime.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’m guessing they’d already paid for it and no one is paying enough attention to authorise the pulling of the ads.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ve never seen the ad until 3 days ago. And it’s getting hammered.

Jammed/sprained my finger yesterday.
Iced it for a bit and definitely less pain today but still a bit swollen and lacking full mobility.
Thankfully it’s the ring finger on my left hand.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I had to call centrelink. I need a nap now.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Having security cameras is kinda fun - I’ve just looked at last night and discovered Miss Meow has also worked out the dog door. It appears she just stayed under cover and looked out for a bit before teleporting back inside, but that last bit could just be continuity gap from the motion sensors not picking up when she went inside.
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
How is it I started work at 9, I’ve been here 18 hours, yet it’s not even 1:30? (Today is going soooo slooooow)

Back home. Sox is being saucy today. She better get over herself or that food will be for naught!
Speaking of food, I felt briefly tempted to have a pizza per today’s thread emoji but I think I’ll leave that for the end of next week when I really will need a pick-me-up after my presentation for which I have yet to make the requisite graphics let alone slides but I tend to do presentations best at the very last minute anyway.
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I think I’ve done what I can to prep for the presentation tomorrow - gonna do a few more reviews and editing (scientific names for animals should be in italics), and run through it with my partner.
I have a suspicion I may have put more info then they need, but I’ve adhered to the marking rubric so 🤷🏼♀️
Anyone want to know some cool facts about Tachyglossus aculeatus (The Short-Beaked Echidna)? 😂
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Today I fill all the buckets and fermenters in prep for having no water tomorrow. Done this drill before, it’s fine when you have warning, nasty otherwise

Good morning all! Happy Thursday.
Shoutout to anyone else who’s part of the Insomnia gang.

I actually kind of miss dating. But I am determined for this year to be my single year where I make no attempt to date.
In the past, things have just happened, and I didn’t really make a conscious effort to put myself out there.
I think I just want more connection, and to feel understood. I want to run a marathon before I date someone again (runs a marathon with no training whatsoever). No rush.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
sunny, I think I will go to the beach before I work in the garden a bit
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
4 degrees, rip the bandaid off and just jump out of bed to get me going.
Oh I hate mornings like these. and heating is busted at work again.
Pilk@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Hey Slayers_Picks just wondering where you landing with your thinking about Pride Month.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I really need to deep clean this BBQ at some point. Uuhg. Maybe look into getting new gas tubes.

Going to watch a movie to reset after waking up late and getting nothing done today.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
So do all cats do a little post-poo zoomies or is the one staying with me just a little weirdo?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Here’s an interesting little read.
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
My productivity at work today wasn’t particularly high given I was wearing a coat, had a scarf and beanie on till midday.
Time to think about dinner and get warm now.
I think I might waste some time in No Man’s sky.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I think my multi-workspace approach at work isn’t working. I tried breaking things up by project but every time I get a teams message it pings me back to the first workspace.
Maybe I try by function, like having website stuff in one space, social ads in another, and something else in another space.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I keep picturing my ideal life - but it’s still being a cat lady 🤔
I’d like to end up somewhere more peaceful and make things all nice inside, and if I can’t have Melbcat forever I’d like more cats or the stability/reliable health to foster.
Maybe when I’m up to it there’ll be a local craft group to grind out basic items for charity and maybe the area will be safe enough to wear my preferred style. On low energy days there will be a lot of video games. Maybe there’s a little space to garden in pots. If we’re getting fancy there could be a garage or shed for painting and the energy to do it.
Unfortunately Melbourne kind of sucks but this is what I would ideally end up with. I hate dealing with dysfunctional people and have no interest in bullshit drama.

My attempts to be lazy and have a parcel from Bunnings delivered have not gone well. They split it into two parcels, one of which was returned to sender for having a wrong address, the other is in limbo having been sent to a LPO for collection and then sent on again from there as being incorrectly sorted. I really should have just done click and collect.

The gangs all here 🐱
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Your gang are neither little nor ill fed.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
but they are beautiful 😻
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
They got big!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Aww look at those floofy little bellies
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Unfortunately work took over my life for a little while. Once it settles down in a few weeks then that’s the plan.
Would love to find somewhere for them to go afterwards though.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Do they come close when you are laying the food down?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
They run and squeek at me and hassle me while I’m trying to get the wet food happening lol
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
OMG 😻😻😻
