'sup everyone I’m back from my travels and back at work today before another conference. Absolutely loved my road trip and the sun and nature and helping out the family I care about. Nice to feel connected and part of something bigger. Life back in Melbourne feels awfully lonely in comparison. No closer to working out what I want to do with my life, but definitely a renewed conviction to get out there in nature and refill the tank more often.

Gibsons surgery is delayed till next week, and I’m meeting the director of the company I applied to on Friday.
Polar morning.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Have decided to take the job offer from yesterday, if only because I need to really make a change. If it doesn’t work out, so be it.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 days ago
That’s the spirit! Congrats 🥂
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Exciting times ahead. I hope it works out

Sparkling water on tap is working again in the office after three weeks. My life is conplete
tone212_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
My co-working has these taps, one of the main reasons I signed up. It’s a simple thing but feels like a luxury at the same time. They’ve also got taps for cold and tepid water too, something for everyone.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I think I have like 8 glasses a day. I’m obsessed
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I would be hydrated as fuck if we had sparkling water on tap here 😍
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Electric water lol
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I worked in a place that had that…location near Southern Cross perchance?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 days ago
That’s a win.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Fancy!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I don’t even like sparkling water, but this would make me drink it.

Effing zebra chickens are yelling in my backyard.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
What are zebra chickens?
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Magpies. Murder chickens are cassowaries, hyper chickens are emus, LGBTQA+ chickens are eastern rosellas, and bin chickens - well you know that one.

back is much better today, will take it gently
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Traffic on the Western Fwy was way better tonight without the roadworks, plus I got to leave work a bit early. So I’m home way earlier than from the other trips to Melbourne - I’m already in my pjs on the couch instead of in the van still driving somewhere around Ballan. A definite improvement.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Seems most of the strays are missing today. Hopefully they’re ok.

I’ve been riding the bike with the suspension on for a while and I decided to turn it off to see the difference. It’s faster but you do feel the bumps. Maybe I turn it off going home because it trends uphill, or when the battery is getting low and I want to be more economical.

This old unused android phone I had lying around randomly has a pin despite being straight out of the box. It’s locked to Telstra (hence not being used) and I either need a Telstra SIM card or to request a PUK code.
I’m unable to call for the IMEI to get the PUK code because there is no star or hash on the emergency dialler and I don’t have minutes to call Telstra.
I don’t want a sim or minutes… I literally just want to connect it to wifi as a spare device for listening to music.
I’ll have to see if I can find the IMEI on the box or the phone, or see where the info slips went. Otherwise I’ll just recycle this thing and buy a secondhand one with no PIN. I have other old phones but I prefer a blank slate for my spare.
Don’t buy a Telstra Essential Smart 2.

Are you running more these days?
I’ve cut down heaps on a Friday night now.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Thanks. Parkrun every week, give or take. Couple of other runs though the week. I just started using a capture-territory style app which has made it a bit fun.
