I just had some fish and chips
and I might lie down and listen to an audio book
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I had 2 lamb souvlakis. That sort of a day.
Will retire with wine
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
30C outside, 24C in the shade, perfectly cool but not cold breeze, just the sound of leaves rustling, and I have the place to myself for 1 hour while everyone goes out for an appointment. A moment of bliss…
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
cold nights for the next few days
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Cold days too.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
12c here for the next few :)
You’re not missing out on much.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Very windy and rainy here today. You don’t want this
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Today is the last day of work EVER ^before^ ^the^ ^weekend^
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I want to have a nap lol
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
booooo!
Nath@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m starting to think about retirement. Not very seriously, it’s still over a decade away - but in a “how the hell are we going to get a house and pay it off before that?” kinda way.
But if we somehow manage it, retirement is going to be awesome.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
got me in the first half …lol
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I need to rehome some hobby items, and the most interested person is somebody I loath. Hundreds of hours in these things so yeah it goes matter. Ugh.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
sell them on ebay
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Probable same result. Do I care more about the where or who?
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Have fortified self with lunch burrito
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yummo! What’s your go-to burrito of choice?
Some of the office peeps and I went out to out local Malaysian place, always an excellent feed. Now I’m trying to stay awake at my desk. Today is shaping up to be an excellent food day!
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I went chipotle chicken today. Normally, from this place, I favour their barbacoa.
I don’t get work burrito very often. Normally my work lunch of choice is crispy pork or crispy eggplant banh mi from the excellent banh mi joint, but the line there was mental
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
back so much better , it’s just a muscle twinge, nothing serious
thanks everyone for the well wishes 🥰
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Everyone is bringing their kids into the office today. Two people have already swung by with their kids and mine are coming this afternoon. The women in the office are getting spoiled
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
My favourite part of the work day is when my Grade 6er arrives at my work after school.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s a little different when it’s your own kid. A guy’s 3 year old daughter comes into the office here and all the women rush from their desks to form a circle around her.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I was just having a coffee and I looked up and I saw a mouse running out of the kitchen. it ran straight towards my dog, over his paws and around him and under the couch. He looked at me like what the hell did you see that ? Useless dog sigh
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Dog was looking at you thinking how could YOU let this happen
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Some previous cats did that. I even trapped the thing in the bathtub for their entertainment. Nope.
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Want to borrow a Jack Russell? Your flooring may never recover, but you’ll have no more rodents.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month ago
When we had mice the cat did nothing, either. Apparently she was too well fed to bother
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Melbcat is a fantastic mouser but isn’t allowed catch them anymore

Regretting the accidental nap when I got home
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Going to bed early. Today was a write off due to sick. I don’t know what obnoxious bug this is but everything aches. This virus can get in the bin. I have a few events on this weekend but now looking like I’ll have to not go. Sigh.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Either a bad flu or covid.
Hope you get plenty of rest and feel better soon. A real shame to miss out on this weekend.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ok the weekend has begunned, cheers 🍻🍻
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Cheers!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
YAYYYYY.
Off to the gym seeing as how it allowed me to have 5ish hours of sleep in a row.
Then a well earned pizza.
Cheers 🥂
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m the type to help keep the door open if someone is not too far behind me, walking the same direction. You know, politeness and all. Just witnessed someone at the gym look back, see me walking towards them, open the door the slightest amount (push open and it automatically shuts) and then it slammed right in my face. Thats humanity for you.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Some gym people shouldn’t be classed as people and I say that as a gym person.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’ve been on the other side of that situation. Usually the story is something along the lines of looking back to see someone is following, misjudging how long it will actually take to reach the door, struggling to decide whether to wait and then totally fumbling the door and walking off in shame because I completely messed up what should have been a straightforward interaction. Now that I’m older I’m less stressed about that sort of thing and would probably apologise for totally messing up the door holding thing, but when I was younger I would have been too overwhelmed by messing up the first interaction.
Of course that person could just have been a dick, in which case fuck them and I hope they stub their toe on an exercise bike.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
All alone in space and time There’s nothing here but what here’s mine Something borrowed, something blue Every me and every you

I forgot about placebo. Thanks for the reminder :)

Hello fellow Zoners
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
sup
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Sup! How’s it going with adhd meds?
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
At first it wasn’t great because I was having heart palpitations and crying spells. I lowered my dose to a quarter of a tablet and I don’t think it did much except increase my heart rate. I would go for a light walk and my HR would be around 140-150. My sleep has also been terrible but I think that’s because I’ve been waking up early and finding it hard to sleep at night at a decent time.
I will be upping my dose today, potentially of the clonidine too, because that’s not doing anything either. Having a call with the psychiatrist on Tuesday and he might prescribe me non-stimulants, which are exorbitantly priced. I’ve wasted so much money on meds over the past few years that haven’t done anything or made the situation worse, so hopefully we’ll get to a good point. I’m thinking of trying skills over pills (e.g. time and stress management, using discipline over motivation).
I have a fear of failure, to the point where I enter a freeze response, and end up failing. I think that’s the cause of my problems, and if I challenge the excuses that my brain makes and power through, I should be fine.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m partial to energy drinks over coffee, but a Friday coffee really does hit different.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
coffee…coffee
zombie groans
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
5 and a half hours of sleep in a row!!!
It’s the gym. I have to go everyday it seems like.
It’s worth it, but yeah. Nice to be asleep for a while.
maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I had to sleep off a headache this arvo and now I’m wide awake. Let me give passing out another crack.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I feel so meh. Recently had more bad news and just trying to ignore everything to get by. Unfortunately that means apathy :(
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The Aldi marinated frozen salmon is pretty delicious for an easy meal. Tonight was lemon and pepper but the mixed herb one is yum too.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I spilled some damp kitty litter while emptying the tray into the bin… now I have to sweep that up and mop. And I spilled a drink next to my bed that I need to finish blotting up and use cleaner on.
Cleaning is truly never over :(
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
wtf, just had a swarm of mosquitos come in thru gaps in the front door. I switched the outdoor and hallway light off and I’ll see if they stop coming in. I have swatted about 20 so far
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
the heavy rain is here 😦
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Cold beer has been obtained
I worked on a Gustav-Becker torsion clock today. Couldn’t get it going but was fun nonetheless.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Displaced during my break.
So many empty spaces and they have to use the room I’m in.
Fuckers. I hate his place.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Cheers everyone 🍺 and 'ave a good weekend.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Peppermint tea.
I have this gnawing anxious feel because I’m rushing and I need to settle my stomach
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Up and to work. Ugh
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
awake gang here
just up to take a pee and have some aspirin and a piece of jammy toast
then back to lying down, it really does help a sore back the best
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
