      How did this turn out? I feel like I’d burn the fuck outta the chillies before the sausage roll would even be warm because I wouldn’t be able to help myself.

        It actually worked well lol. Idea was to do the sausage roll in the oven normally, then give it a once over with the torch.

    It’s called 'the witching hour’s because witches are up at this hour. What they don’t tell you is that the witches aren’t up brewing potions or cleansing their crystals with the light of a gibbous moon; they’re up because their cats have the 3am post-poop zoomies and are causing havoc in the pantry.

    Bleah, back to being cranky pants again today. Feeling bristly when people ask the prerequisite “what did you get up to on the weekend” and I don’t have anything exciting to say like a fishing trip or running a marathon or whatever so they tune out anyway. I know it’s a nicety but like I wish they round just skip the question, neither of us enjoy it at this point. And I don’t actually want to hear about what most of my colleagues have gotten up to because it’s not in my wheelhouse anyway and i can only feign interest for so long.

    Ordinarily I’d just bury myself in work but we’ve run out of stuff to do and the only stuff left is some very very tedious document updating which I’ve already spent a lot of time on and I’m dying of boredom send help. Almost tempted to start chucking sickies

      My last job, mandatory Monday morning in-office meetings when the first 10 minutes was wasted hearing about everyone’s weekends and having to explain what I did for my weekend. It was a horrible way to start each week.

    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      It’s the same with “how are you”? and the expectant answer always being “Good”. It’s rare that someone is genuinely interested, it’s just the social norm. (FWIW, I’m always down to listen until you use me as a trauma dump and ignore me when I need an ear grumble grumble about askholes)

        It totally is just a transactional thing, I can handle a “how are you” most of the time as it’s just an extension of “hi” (although yes, harder to lie through your teeth when you’re really not feeling it) but the whole weekend thing is just way too long for my liking especially when I simply can’t match the mood of the other person.

        There are some people I will always have time for re: a genuine response to how are you etc, but because of experiences like the ones you have also had, I am very selective. I think I’ve gotten better at working out when someone might be a one-directional dumper - esp when interacting with the public during site visits.

        I am 10000% ready to blame the weather. I really wish I’d timed everything so I could be on leave right now. I think that might legitimately be contributing to the crankiness
 resentment
 maybe a sickie is in full order for tomorrow to balance the scales since we have SFA to do anyway.

      Worked with a dude who would always ask ‘Did you have a productive weekend?’

      I had soooo many smart arse replies ready but never used them.

      In hindsight I should have let it fly.

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        Urrrrgh. I think I can handle it when it’s on teams via text but in person it’s hard to give a non committal answer sometimes because that person is then around and you need to interact with them further and they might bring up their productive weekend yet again.

        I just had a couple of colleagues very performatively go on a quick run before lunch because that’s now their Thing and they want to get people into it after having announced their running activities this weekend. Like they’re perfectly lovely folks and this place is generally great but I simply do not have the energy to pretend to be interested in any of these today. I had the shortest lunch ever and will be skedaddling as soon as I hit 7.5 hrs before I really do turn into the Grinch.

    I’m reading The Luminaries at the moment and it’s the sort of mystery story I like.

    It reminds me of Raymond Chandler because you’re also trying to figure out what the mystery is. It’s not a simple case of ‘someone died, who did it?’ It’s a much more complex case of ‘what the fuck is happening?’

    Also, it’s set in New Zealand during a 19th century good rush so that’s somewhere different for a story.

    Audiobook review. Chocky by John Wyndham. An alien makes esp contact with a 12 yr old boy so that it can teach him about the world, the universe and to help humanity.

    I’m listening to a lot of 60s science fiction, it seems a bit more creative, less character based, more tech based, than a lot of newer fiction

    this book was subtle, I will have to think about it some more

    I do like how the message is overwhelmingly positive, humans can do positive things to improve their lives and improve the world. Humans are also co-operative, working together to figure things out.

    Parents flew interstate for a couple of days, and so I am looking after our dog. He barked at 1am, then 3am, and then kept going in and out of the room whilst I was half asleep. This morning, I found pee in seven different places. I feel like it has to do with separation anxiety, but he isn’t neutered, and pees anywhere he can lift his leg up.

    He pees inside when no one can see him. I am beyond frustrated. We didn’t get him neutered in the beginning because he had a hernia on his belly, and the vet said don’t bother. So I guess I shall be going to the vet at some point.
