  Alrighty. I have an interview at 1pm and an interview every day this week.

  Making traction!

    She’s so lovely. I can say that from all the way over here without getting scratched.

    How’s she coping with the cone?

    source

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      This one is a lot better as it has a collar instead of just a bandage wrapped around her neck. Seems to have accepted her fate.

    Tell her things could be worse, she could be wearing that sunflower instead. And as we all know being told “it could be worse” when we are pissed off and grumpy always instantly lightens our spirits and makes everything ok.

    /s just in case it’s not obvious

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Oh believe me I’d love to be making fun of the cone but I’ll wait till she’s feeling better lol

    We’ve all felt this way after a bender, especially when we’ve thrown hands while intoxicated.

  Teen comes up behind me in gym. I turn around. He says nothing, just gestures with his hands. I knew what he was asking but I said “sorry, are there any words?”. I’m not hurrying up if you can’t be bothered to ask nicely how long I have left on a machine.

  Being in this place gives me an interesting insight into Gen Z manners. They said millennials were entitled….

    This is where I usually rip out the old “the fuck do you want?”

    source
  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    too scared to say words because they haven’t been socialised, taught to live indoors and to not trust strangers

  The patient decided to rip her cone off at 3am. After several attempts at getting the collar back on I sedated her.

  Rang the vet and they said keep her sedated the next few days.

  Jesus Christ lol

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I too will be sedated for the next few days. Get well soon Gibbo Cat.

  Great angst at team meeting, as “do more with less” edges closer and closer to “do everything with nothing”

    I begged for more resources at my last role multiple times a week. I was let go because the team wasn’t performing the job of 10 people with 5.

  I’m giving a presentation at co-working tomorrow for businesses in the building. I was expecting little to no interest, the room fits about 10 to 12 people and 9 people have already sent a RSVP. Working on my slides at the moment. I’m excited but also quite nervous, been a while since I’ve done presenting like this! If it goes well I’ll be rolling this out at other locations, so hopefully I’m not a nervous wreck tomorrow.

  Goddamit auspost… another ‘attempted delivery’ my arse. No soundcard / HDDs today :( I was in the front garden at the time of ‘attempted’ delivery lol.

    complain. Every time they do this. Complain complain right up to the ombudsman.

    I got the fuckers parking across the street and crossing with the lights to deliver my shit now.

  Just found a dead lorikeet in one of the rooms here :( The alarm went off when I was down the beach 2 weeks ago so it was probably that. Poor thing. Really sad to think it probably had a partner who’s out there wondering where it is.

  A house a few streets away got burgled the other night. The dad was sleeping on the couch, and had his car keys right near. He didn’t wake up, and luckily he didn’t, because the offenders had machetes. Does the government think every house has a machete amnesty box or something? Maybe it will make it slightly harder to get machetes, but I highly doubt the people who already have them and use them for malicious intent would give them up anyway.

  Anyway, I get kids being kids and the potential for retribution. But I think there definitely needs to be harsher penalties for them. I really hope there is some reform soon. In schools, sometimes kids face little consequences for their actions, and it seems that way in society too.

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    an older teenager with a machete is just as dangerous as an adult with a machete.

    This isn’t kids being kids. This is young people with anti-social tendencies. 99% of kids don’t commit crimes like this.

    In a confrontation they don’t get special treatment just because they are young. They get treated just like anyone else with a deadly weapon. Sorry, I would shoot if I had a gun.

    And this is not burglary, it’s aggravated burglary and they get long prison sentences for that shit.

    source

    • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The people who broke into the house a bit away were not found. But it is absolutely horrifying to think what they could’ve done to the occupiers of the house.

      source
  • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s unsettling to know it happened so close to your house. Agree that machete ban is useless. It’s just for show, because the government wants to seem like they are doing something. If you have a teen that doesn’t care about getting caught for car jacking, aggravated burglary, stabbing, murdering, gang violence, then why would they care about something so minor as owning a machete. It’s nothing by comparison.

    There needs to be both effective deterrent and effective rehab, ie jail and education and support programs. But that costs money, better that innocent people get attacked and if they are lucky escape with lifetime ptsd, if not just die via machete murder. The world is depressing.

  wooo worked out I’ve done something like 16 hours fucking overtime this month already - most of it dealing with germans - so I decided unless a tyre fire started I was gonna be light on the workload.

  Consequently I’ve run 50m of poly piping linking tank systems.

  My next gas bill is going to be horrific. It’s due for an actual meter read, they have been doing estimates for the last couple of months and the estimates are about half what I am actually using. I could update the reading myself, but I’d rather keep the money in my account earning interest. It is a bit annoying getting the bill every 28 days instead of when the meter is read and I’m guessing it catches a lot of people out who don’t realise it is estimated.

  I watched some videos on trams in Slovakia with the boys and they look very similar to our E Class trams. The design of trams is probably centring on one specific shape that works.

  But what also struck me is how quiet the videos are. These trams are completely separated from cars and there’s almost no sound in the videos. The trams don’t even ding when they take off.

  It’s great timing as I recently watched the Not Just Bikes video on why trams are great and street cars suck, and I feel like Melbourne Trams are right in the middle.

  Movie review. Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman.

  Very understated biopic of Churchill. His abilities and influence were alluded to, not spelled out. I would like a movie exploring how Churchill handled the group think regarding strategy in regard to Dunkirk. And how was it the military and politicians were so naive regarding the psychology of people like Hitler and Mussolini.

  Gary Oldman was really good.

  3.5 stars
