I am home. Tropical sun was amazing. Family was …good. I had fun. But I am tired and in dire need of introvert time. Bed at 8 tonight I think. Back to work tomorrow though.

That’s a pretty fast turnaround for going back to work! I used to do things like fly in on Monday morning after a holiday but need an increasing amount of time between flights and work these days. Hope you can fully recharge tonight and the rest of the week is chill. Really gonna need to tap on that stored sunlight with the weather forecast for this week.

Yeah I would like to have a day to regroup but it was an awkward time to get away. I bit the bullet and got a woolies delivery of easy but decent food so I don’t have to think too much about food prep. And thanks for the heads up. Hadn’t checked the weather 🥶🥶

Of all my luck they’re going to do maintenance on the power grid again and I’ll be without power again for Sunday.
Why do they keep doing this doing my holidays!
I better set the timer for the heater so it’s at least somewhat warm when I wake up and need to figure out food if the maintenance doesn’t end early.

Is the only place to buy those posh lighters only at smokos or the internet?
Was thinking of getting one as a gift, but since I don’t smoke, no idea where the proper place to get one is.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 8 hours ago
Smoke/vape shops will have quite a selection, places like the Reject shop will have some at the cheaper end of the market. Pay attention to how the item is refueled - you want the kind where you can get the injector refills from Bunnings in the bbq section. Cos those lighters are only good if filled with fuel. And the cheap ones tend to leak which can be a problem and a fire hazard.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 8 hours ago
Even for a smoker they’re not a great gift imo. I had a zippo that I never used as it smelled and needed filling too often.
T156@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I see. What would have been a better fit in that case?
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 7 hours ago
Pilk@aussie.zone 9 hours ago
Do you mean a Zippo, or something else?
T156@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
I think so? The metal clicky lighters you used to see in James Bond films and the like.

So we decided to turn over a new leaf at work. Turns out my old manager is under extreme stress for me to succeed in my role. From the way he was saying it, it sounded like there was some hectic shit going on in the background.
He apologised to the 2 dudes he shoved and he’s gone back to being normal.
So that’s a win.
We worked twice as hard (literally) at last week’s eofy event than the same time last year, however there is a backlog of work because we’re understaffed and the expectation from the old timers is that we work 12 hour days every day to get it done.
That’s not how things work these days. It’s not the late 90s.
And the world isnt going to end.
Would have been nice for someone to say “good work leading the team dude”.
I get why people buy lottery tickets.
Duenan@aussie.zone 9 hours ago
I hope you don’t have keep doing 12 hour days, that was burning you out.

I was thinking of doing noodles for an easy dinner tonight, but I think my noodles are still in a box somewhere. I’m not sure I have enough enthusiasm for anything else. Maybe cheese and crackers, I’m pretty sure I can find all the ingredients for that.

Lol been sleeping and playing CotL today, so just heard the news. I guess it isn’t wrong to say Erin is a murderer.
I still wish I could understand what the motive was :/ it’s so senseless
just_kitten@aussie.zone 10 hours ago
Some of my colleagues reckon she wanted notoriety. What a way to do it though?? And sound like a total idiot on the stand…
StudChud@aussie.zone 7 hours ago
Hm I dunno about that but if she thought she could get away with it she was pretty stupid lol

Now that Erin Patterson has been found guilty I’m interested to hear everything that’s going to come out that couldn’t be shared publicly while the trail was ongoing.
I’m also glad I can stop visiting news sites for updates now because holy shit it’s depressing.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 16 hours ago
Meeting went really well thankfully. All is sorted now.
Thank fuck.

Regarding the Back to the Beginning show:
I have always been of the opinion that aging rock stars should take a step back and reflect on the glory days… and try to be satisfied with what they have accomplished. (and step aside for the modern talent) Nobody wants to see an elderly person in a wheelchair try and re-live the glory days on stage and end up being an embarrassment for themselves and their legacy.
So, as troubling as it may be to watch Ozzy belt out the classics at the Back to the Beginning show while sitting in a giant leather chair throne., he still sounds unbelievably amazing for his age and condition. astonishing really.
That’s really it I guess. I haven’t had the chance to see all of the sets yet, however the generational range of the bands seemed as good as could be expected.

Does anyone here have tips about doing side gigs on an ABN? I created one for shits and giggles a couple of years ago but never used it. Now an opportunity might have come up where an org wants me to do a sort of training/workshop thing for a few employees. I intend for it to be a once off (maybe a second session at best) - set scope, hours, lump sum - but idk how I should be reporting all of this in terms of tax and what documents to generate and keep.
I guess my ABN should be on the quote and invoice… GST?! and do I issue a receipt… I will Google things after dinner but if anyone has any personal tips (esp anything that’s easy to overlook) I’d be very grateful.

Cat tmi, poo talk
Melbcat has been to the vet because she started crying again… it may be that the ‘issues’ were from overcompensating with the osmolax, and now it’s been drastically reduced she’s possibly crying again due to the constipation returning. There will be a small regular dose (say 1/8tsp) that will slowly increase until a balance is found. I feel a bit silly but relieved that that could have been it. It’s ok. I’m her mum and it’s my job to worry.

It’s a PEP training session. We’ve just started but it’s been alright because it acknowledges we have to work in Office 365 and how to work in there.
The main thing this session is reminding me is how much I hate Microsoft and how poorly implemented all of their products are.
Workplaces should get everyone to do sessions like this so everyone knows how to use their software, and how to use it consistent with the organisation as well

City sleepover for work. We’re doing a workshop on our project management software so I don’t know how much work will actually be done. I just hope the dinner is good

I’ve been there. My “Uncle’s” mob was from there. The Walkers. His mum was Kath the poet and his son was Raymond the school teacher.
