Perfect little furry buttons! Argh!
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
For a moment there I was thinking lazy cats.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
They are such sweeties 💓
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Unfucking things that are now fucked, that you tried to keep unfucked, is fucked.
It’s only 8:15am :(
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
That’s quite a start to the day. I hope things work out
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
So well put, I am very familiar with this feeling. Good luck.

A Canadian celebration breakfast put on by young Mr Seagoon , we had pancakes and maples syrup and fresh coffee. Tonight it will ne Canadian mac n cheese. With crumbled crisps baked on top. It’s a Canadian thing.
Then a walk n on the dog beach with Miss Seagoon and Bear the Irish terrier. I picked up ten new kinds of shells.
here is Miss Seagoon and Bear
then shopping in the city, a quick bite and we went to Clock museum, which was a weird place.
Now home for a few days while the big storm blows through.😊
I love the young Seagoons so much 🥹
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
What a wholesome day, I am so happy that you’re getting this time with them. What made the clock museum weird?
Enjoy the downtime!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
to be surrounded by so many weird looking clocks , many ticking, chiming was just weird
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
This is great thanks!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Naw. They love you too!
Can you please please please try the Bluff oysters and get back to us.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Loving that beach view!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Got an invite to weekly catchup with operations manager.
The deal is sealed 🎉🎉🎉
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Is that good news?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Yep. I now report to the douche managers boss.
tone212_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
At my co-working space they do a free breakfast on Wednesdays - you best believe I loaded up my plate. There was waffles with chocolate sauce, English muffins with ham and cheese, croissants, yoghurt with fruit, donuts, I got it all. Food coma incoming. And I brought my own lunch too.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
A little bit in the pockets for ron.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I wish that were me
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Line your handbag with tinfoil
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
That sounds bloody delicious, good for you!! Were the waffles good? Any free breakfast is good though!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
“I’m walking on Sunshine, wooo ohhh ohh”.
Fuck you shitty manager.

There’s cracks in the foundations of my mind
Now every structure is compromised
And I lie and say I’m alright
But my can of worms has snakes inside
So I keep the lid closed
And seal my lips so
So my loved ones do not know
I’ll be the keeper of their happiness
And prolong their blissful ignorance
Of the cracks in the foundations of my mindmelbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
There’s a crack in everything
It’s how the light gets in
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Thank you 💜💜 that’s a profound perspective shift 💜💜
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
♥️ oof I know this
I couldn't help making a verse. Spoilered in case that's rude but you made me cry and think how it's a bit different for me now
Some cracks close quietly after so many nights
Some cracks lie until a single flower takes hold
Bright yellow in the dark.
Some cracks I tend tirelessly
Filling in with gold so they SHINE BABY SHINE. Some cracks stay, deeper then ever
Snakes give way to dragons
None shall pass, not even you, child
We will hold and fight, and remember. Quiet now, I know how to tread, where to avoid
The scars in the foundation of my mindStudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It’s not rude! It’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing, truly and sincerely! Big hugs and good vibes! 💜💜💜
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I saw a fox just before.
I’m worried that by leaving food for the strays overnight that I’ve put them in danger…
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
it’s like having kids, you have to trust that they can look after themselves
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I have seen one of my cats successfully go on the offensive on a fox. They aren’t as helpless as you might think.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
MH and academics plus a whole lot of complaining
Yep so I got the confirmation that I’ve failed two subjects because of late submissions. Submitting things late and just being numb to deadlines is a real problem for me. This whole uni thing doesn’t feel real anymore. Nothing does really. I am so sick of being on the verge of panic every single day, and not being able to sleep. I’ve been putting way too much pressure on myself to the point where I’m trying to get a H1 assignment of me, in a couple of days, in an attempt to reduce the impact of the late penalty. But I am getting absolutely nothing out. I love the uni, I love the course, I’ve met so many wonderful people, and I would be giving up a social opportunity that is hard to get as you get older and meet fewer people. Despite all the hiccups, tears and questioning, I think I want to stay in the course because I can’t see myself doing anything else. I think getting this degree and doing this career will make me more resilient, and a better person. I don’t want to “give up” and just get any random job or stay in retail forever. So hopefully I won’t get kicked out, and worst case scenario, I’ll just have to repeat a couple of units and spend an extra few months at uni. I’ll see my psych again to ask for advice, maybe try out ADHD meds because I can’t continue being numb to deadlines and getting long extensions that just delay things even further, and as soon as I get an assignment, at least taking a look at it. This is jeopardising my future career. I feel like ADHD meds won’t work and will suck for my heart function. Surely, there’s another way.
“Just start the bloody things earlier!”Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Before the adhd meds, I washed dishes in a Cafe and was bad at it.
Post adhd meds and with the help of a friend to get my foot in the door, I run a team of IT professionals.
That big of a difference.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Wow. That’s a really big difference.
I’ll get onto it. Hopefully there’s something out there that’s not going to kill my heart and worsen my anxiety.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Convinced YL to spend the weekend at Nana’s house. How did I do that you ask? Dad wants to day drink in the nude and that’s a bit hard with you here 🙂
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Now that’s a LifeProTip I can use
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Cat TMI, poop talk
Melbcat has started having frequent little accidents and while I’m hoping that it’s only temporary I’m scared that she might be losing control of her bowels. She’s still seeming mostly comfortable, bright and alert, still eating and washing herself. No current urinary incontinence. She’s stopped crying since this started. I’m just spiraling because I’m aware age is catching up to her and I’m terrified of the future. I feel about Melbcat the way people feel about their child. ___
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Well, I asked for more field work, and while I was out onto one site I got called up to go to two more, in the rain and cold and everything. But it helped; I feel heaps better today despite some challenging people to deal with (not colleagues). Needed to get oot and aboot!
Gonna go in tomorrow and probably work a full day - heading out midday with the team for an industry meeting/conference thing. Earning that extra money as much as I can. Lord knows I need it. Psych appt got moved to tomorrow so I’ll be budgeting carefully until next Friday evening… Need to reschedule dentist again…
Now what to do at home? Maybe some long overdue journalling. Still getting used to not having this big acute deadline hanging over my head ☺️ might also watch an Ang Lee classic, Eat Drink Man Woman.
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Any shows to watch?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’m halfway through Eat Drunk Man Woman. It’s a really wonderful snapshot of Asian family dynamics and life in Taiwan in the 90s, incredibly engaging. Also, the FOOD PORN holy sheeeeeit
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I put on a goosebumps 90s episode last night to watch with little one and man the 90s melancholy/nostalgia/wistfulness hit me so hard. Oh to be able to go back to that time.
Oh a side note, I love how Slappy scares my 9 year old. She talks tough about not being scared of anything, but as soon as Slappy moves his head she’s clinging to me like she’s about to fall off a mountain lol.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Fair call, Slappy is scary as hell!
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
They’re releasing a new dummy based on the OG Slappy. Definitely adding it to my collection.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
In the city this morning. It’s damp.
And far too many people seem to think that their down puffer jackets are waterproof. Nope, you’re going to be cold and wet.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Picked up a friend from the Austin Repat today. The place is a time warp. So run down, I’m surprised it’s still useable at all. Desperately in need of a major refurbishment.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Think I’m going to try and cook a one pot dumpling dish that keeps coming up on my Instagram for dins tonight, seems like it’ll be a great night to try out a creamy curry dumpling dish!
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Groceries done. Time to plonk on my couch and not leave home again. Miserable day out here
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It’s a crumpet kinda morning
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Furbaby had a cuddle, napped, then has been woken for dinner and meds. I hope she’s feeling a bit better.
spoiler
I’m dropping the Osmolax down and starting to give her probiotics in the hope that helps her tummy. Maybe even try a little psyllium husk instead.
Also I’m glad you guys are around. You’re good people.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
My lost Bunnings order has finally made it to me 🥳 I can now put my house number on the letterbox, finally.
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Grump my order was for 2 packages each containing 2, not 1 pack of 2. Let us see how this complaint goes…
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I can see the rain outside and I’m glad I stayed home. The other woman in my team got sick from being in the cold and rain in this place just last week and everyone has gone back in similar conditions.
I’m using today as an open day to work on things I’ve been meaning to before other demands pulled me in other directions.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
So windy here.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
One of my apps seems to think I’m going to the Cheesecake Shop every time I go to the gym. I wish, app, I wish (okay probably not).
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It is so miserable and grey and soggy. Have to have the lights on kinda day, because not enough sun.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Sky pretty
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ve created a kind of cheat sheet for uni with references to advice I’ve read, teaching theories etc. I was using a google sheets spreadsheet for it but dot points and images aren’t formatting properly for my liking.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a cloud-based note taking option? I am about to try OneNote but thought Id see if there are other options too.

I kept hearing this noise at night and I thought it was the sound of some electrical thing outside. I have confirmed it’s a possum. Sounds like me screaming with no high pitched noise.
My dad was great for putting up a pergola outside, but the possums love running up it.

Giant pez dispenser. Young people nowadays.
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Your outfit better have enough bling to justify those lights
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
That’s a great point, however I’m just a set designer and lighting tech.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It looks fun 😃
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Amazing!!! Have the most fun!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Looks awesome!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
So cool! Can I ask where the lights are from?
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Sure. It’s just two lights. The LED ”neon”sign is off Etsy and there is a white pin spot on the disco ball from DJ City (various locations in Melbourne)
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
That’s quite a room (I have not kept up with what you’re doing tonight at all).
