  So I found out today that I’ve only failed one subject in my course, and it was a borderline fail. The uni people have told me that if I pass everything else in the course, they can give me a supplementary exam for that specific subject. All is not lost.

  As for trying to decide my path at this stage in my life, I’ve fallen into a rabbit hole compulsively web searching different careers. Everything from accounting to electrical work. It’s time to stop this. The internet won’t give me an answer. I have to try out different things to figure it out. I’m going to hold off making any big decisions until the end of this semester.

  Piedmonte’s had a display of Four Pillars gin - flavoured with ‘fresh yuzu’. As yuzu is one of my favorite flavours, I think I might invest in a bottle … Lemon meringue pie but with yuzu instead of lemon … the possibilities are endless.

  Rested again today, toe was bothering me overnight and today, I changed over the dressing and wasn’t as bad as I thought or it could have been but the toe was pretty swollen.

  I felt no pain yesterday strangely enough and today I’ve had pangs of discomfort.

  I hope it’s better tomorrow.

      Owwww. But also, understandable. It really is the definition of “in your face”. I think after I got a tooth yanked out under local anaesthesia I’ve become a bit more numb to whatever they do to my teeth… that and my gums are so perpetually inflamed I think they can’t feel much pain any more

  I’m doing training all day Wednesday and Thursday so I can deal with the most complicated account types that we have. There aren’t a great deal of people at my org who do this. I’ve been told the training is rather lacking and I’ll just be thrown in to figure it out afterwards.

  Not really looking forward to the new type of work but it’s good for development, and good they think I’m capable

    Congrats! Yes, this is a declaration of above average competence. I remember back when I worked in insurance, and had to figure out how to set premiums for a super account that was in PNG kina, with added Parliamentary super on top of it. Took some serious research. And a VERY complicated spreadsheet. With date ranges. And currency conversions. Everyone else chickened out when faced with the problem, the mongrels, cos it was going to be audited … but I survived and so will you. I have faith in you.

  If I say “I’m good for a meeting on Wednesday up until 3pm” that used to mean “I am not around after 3”. I reckon at least three times in the last week someone has responded to that with a meeting request AT 3 (or equivalent).

  It’s doing my head in. Have I suddenly become unclear or did you all have a big pow wow and change the meaning of time on me??!

  source

  • Pilk@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I think that’s why people invented the phrase “hard stop at 3”. It’s cringe corpo speak but most people get it.

    Say ‘unavailable after 3’ and block out the time in your calendar. Please tell me you are blocking the time in your calendar? A office peeve of mine people rejecting meetings saying they aren’t available but they’ve left the time free in their calendar.

    • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yes I block time but these are meetings with external clients. But I will change what I say -thanks. It’s just been curious that it’s all of a sudden.

  The smoke detectors have just been tested and Mr Woof was not happy about the invasion. He was also confused about whether he should bark at the stranger or run and hide when the beeping started.

  Miss Meow disappeared entirely and I expected to not see her for a while, but she rallied much quicker than expected and is now out of hiding and on my lap (it appears under the couch was the hiding spot of choice today).

  Had to park at Sunshine station this morning (bus replacement service from my local), left the office early, driving home and nearly hit a junkie (on their pushbike) who thought it was a good idea to absolutely fang it through the pedestrian crossing when cars had the green arrow to turn.

  Homey looked cooked, but determined.

  I went to that Museum of Desire over the weekend. It’s a bit of fun, but very basic and very hetero. It’s more of an instagram opportunity for corporate drones than a learning experience.

  There are a couple of stores just around the corner that would teach you a lot more about those sorts of things, if you know where to look.

      allergic to milk, not a serious allergy but bad enough to limit intake

      so last night’s cottage pie had no milk products, made with olive oil margarine, no milk in the mashed potato and no cheese on top

      it was still delicious

  The weather has cleared up and I have one load of washing on the line and some sheets finishing up to go out shortly.

  Jeez. There’s a ship bringing food to Palestinian civilians and the IDF has stormed it

  source

  • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    The whole situation is horrific. I understand why they might want to search the ship, eg for weapons, but that shouldn’t affect supply. There’s not enough food getting in and it looks like it’s an intentional genocide attempt by starvation. And the best the rest of the world can do is a couple of limp comments like ‘it’s concerning’ or a slightly braver ‘it’s unacceptable’ or similar words, but zero attempt at action. I was so upset seeing the skeletal kids on tv. Heartbreaking.

    It’s normal to CHECK ships during a war, in fact, it’s normal to check ships in peacetime…

    On October 7 Hamas used ships to raid a music festival and murdered 360 teenagers and raped and tortured hundreds of others. I can understand why they are checking ships.

    There is already food aid in Gaza, it just needs to be distributed. news.sky.com/…/aid-is-sitting-idle-in-gaza-where-…

    source

    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I don’t know how trustworthy the info is that says there’s enough food. There obviously isn’t, people are starving. I do believe there are probably groups or gangs (hamas included) that may have taken control of some food, intercepting deliveries, and are hoarding it. Because the reality is that in situations of scarcity human behaviour very quickly descends to individualism and violence. This means those who have higher physical strength, weapons, aggression, connections to form a violent group, are going to attempt to acquire and control resources for themselves and their associates. If there was enough food, their hoarding would be pointless, there would be no incentive. The solution to the hoarding and the starvation is easy. More food.

  The Marley Spoon box is here. Mr Woof tried to make a break for freedom while I was bringing it inside, but I grabbed him just in time. I am starting to acquire an excessive amount of garlic, every box comes with a full head but only uses a couple of cloves. This is a very good problem to have. The Dinnerly box next week will be the last of my free boxes and I will have to go back to normal meal planning and paying for my own food.

  tv review. Yellowjackets season 1.

  really good story telling showing both the past and the present and interweaving the two

  The past has strong Lord of the Flies and LOST vibes. The present feels like Twin Peaks, showing how under nice suburban life it can be not so nice.

  Lots of characters to like or dislike.

  • indisin@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I tried watching that recently and gave up.

    Season 1 I found some what intriguing, but heavily preferred the bits set in the past.

    Season 2 I found myself browsing my phone during the scenes set in the present because I wasn’t interested in them whatsoever / bored.

    Season 3 I made it to about 1/3 of the way through mostly ignoring the present, until one person is facing punishment in the past and I realised I was bored of it all, and if that person (the very last character I liked) was gone so was I. So I read an overview covering the rest of the season instead of watching it which was more than sufficient. Watched the last couple of mins of the final episode just to see the cliffhanger though.

  Hungry and tempted to go back for more tofu. It’s definitely not like cream cheese but almost reminds me of hummus. Maybe if I reblend half of it with some more vinegar it will be smoother and more like what I set out to make.

  Debating if I should buy an actual blender but wondering if it’ll be used enough for the space

  source

  • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Don’t worry about it. We all have recipe fails. Next attempt will be better. If you’re looking for way to transform tofu to get more protein in diet, I once had some tofu chocolate mousse someone brought to work. It was pretty good. Maybe worth a try?

    source

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Chocolate ‘mousse’ is very tasty. It uses silken tofu which isn’t fodmaps friendly or something so I’m not sure on that one but I have a tofu icecream recipe I’m eyeing off next
