You’ve heard the stories of the cat ladies who push out a big shopping basket on wheels with cat food for the locals every day or so, this is how it starts.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
I’ve already got a shopping bag full lol
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 17 hours ago
Lucky I checked the google reviews of the place I was interviewing at tomorrow.
Of 52 reviews, 51 of them were 1 star.
Reading through all the comments this would have been a terrible place to work for.

I’m a little bit drunk (checks watch) ON A WEDNESDAY! AMA.

I just had a cheeky swig of baileys …🤭
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Have another. You earned it.

Woah your watch has the day of the week? 🤯

Day, date, heart rate, steps, battery and time.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Alright. Interview in an hour. It’s a one stage which is different.
Fingers crossed. I smashed a bunch of cold and flu tablets in advance lol
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Keep us updated, you’ve got this
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 16 hours ago
Thanks man. There’s momentum at least with more interviews. Hopefully this place comes through.

Observation about Op Shops.
for 5 decades Aussies were buying singles and vinyl LPs by the tens of millions a year, millions of the things should be floating around and they should be dirt cheap for an ordinary condition copy.
There are none in Op Shops, record shops have sprung up every where selling old stuff for over $20 at least. Bat out of Hell is not a collectors item. 🙄
tone212_@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
I don’t even bother looking at record collections at op shops, anyone with money on their mind will take their collections to record stores who pay good $$ and sell for even higher.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
I see huge bags of vintage pop LPs in the donation bins 🤨
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
how is a common record that sold by the million and is in average condition valuable?
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Vinyl collectors and resellers are next level though. You’ll see them go straight to the vinyl, check everything quickly and leave. And then there’s the op shops themselves starting to list things closer to the resale values than the ‘opportunity’ value.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
It’s insane when the shops ask prices as if the item they have is rare or pristine
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 21 hours ago
birfday sew on patches arrived, noise cancelling ear phones ordered because why get all anxious about noise when I can do something immediate about it, some art books attained, and a biography of Hemingway by Anthony Burgess, which I thought looked interesting.
I don’t mind train noise, I do mind the noise from the bridge construction, it echoes and vibrates, I also think there’s some 60Hz electric hum.

It appears I am not fitting in well with a new online group. Oof.

I’m not at my best lately and feel like I’ve been unintentionally but carelessly alienating people who don’t know me well.
Need to wind my neck in -_-
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Oooo I got triggered last night 😂 niece came home from care and just lost her mind, bossing us around, crying, screaming at us, at her parents, to do what she wanted.
We chalked it up to her witnessing a conflict at care between other kids and her feeling like she needs control. No hard feelings or anything, but I had to go outside and ground myself - being bossed around and feeling like I lack my own agency was a bit too much for me.
Still got this cold, and now it’s in my chest 😭 but it’s SILs birthday so I’ll pop some codeine in me and hope I survive 😂
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
You did the right thing by removing yourself.

Nothing quite like a little meltdown. We’ve all been there lol.

Last night I came across The Dark Mod, a community project to make Thief style levels in the Doom 3 engine. I found it because the team made their own level editor and it was available in a Linux package manager.
The dedication some people have to these sorts of things amazes me. People have been working for over 15 years in an engine that’s about 20 years old to make levels inspired by a game whose most significant entry was over 25 years ago.
But you know I downloaded it. Thief with Doom 3’s lighting engine sounds like a banger idea

The entire world built around gzdoom is unbelievable.

Rad. I like FPS PvP games and we just don’t have the population in Oceania to support the servers. It’s probably one of my biggest draw cards for moving to EU/USA/Asia. I really miss warsow.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
That’s why I’m going to try get my kids into weird projects like this and whatever other free stuff is out there. It will teach them how to use computers better and introduce them to much healthier communities on the internet

Yesterday I played AC/DC. Today I’m playing Fairouz. Algorithm that Spotify.

I had a dream last night that I found the 4-packs of Shin Ramen Black on sale for $5. I got an oversized Kmart plastic bag and bought 8 of them and carried them home on the tram… Then I woke up 😭

I once bought 24 large jars of polish gherkins from Aldi irl.

I bought 4 sultana brans a few weeks ago. 1/2 price. Still proud of myself (and regular).
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I regularly take a moving trolley to savemore when they’ve got cheap stuff. 2kg of protein powder was $13.33 at Savemore and I bought six boxes.

also, last night I dreamt I was shaving my armpits but the bathroom was too dark to see what I was doing
( one of the crazier dreams I’ve had in a while …lol )

I shop like that all the time now, buy in bulk when items go on sale. I have a big pantry now to store things too. Big sacks of rice, boxes of muesli, tins of food, cleaning supplies, etc etc

Happy International Coffee Day ☕
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’m disrespecting it by having my decaf lol
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Decaf is made from coffee beans and still has a wee amount of caffeine in them.

I’ve decided it stops being winter today. T-shirts and polos only for next 7 months
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I put away my warmest winter jumpers last week but it windy down here on the beach so I still need to wear wind breakers.

I am wearing my “hang in there” cat brooch today
yeah, it’s a little old lady thing to wear brooches but this is an internets meme one …lol

Breakfast of berries yoghurt and seeds. I like to serve it in a nice glass for a little parfait vibe. Little treats are important

Ugh I should file my tax return.
ugh where’s the section where I can just claim my logged WFH hours.
ugh I am not awake enough for this.

If you give the ATO a call they’ll help you through the maze of options with online returns. It’s pretty smooth these days.
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 day ago
oh I’ve done it before many many times, my brain just can’t find the fixed rate option and it’s a clear sign I should probably not be doing this RN

The boys have been sick, the girlfriend is sick now too. I’d like to work from home in case I’m sick, but everyone else is home so I’ve come in so I can get some work done. The joys of parenthood.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Going to a meetup thing today. Kind of scared but hopefully it should be fun, even if I don’t connect with anyone!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Good luck! Remember they’re more afraid of you than you are of them. Or that might be snakes. Or bears.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 1 day ago
From what I’ve heard of meetups you might need to go a few times as there’s often blow-through people who only show up once.

Only two more days until I can have an introvert weekend. Been running way to hard lately and it’s catching up - just want to curl up and have a little cry. Gonna spent Saturday reading and looking at water

I loooove introvert weekends, time to recharge and revive politely distanced hug

Apparently I work better with a deadline, so I’ve ordered a bunch of plants to be delivered. That will either give me motivation to get moving faster on preparing the garden beds or I’ll end up with some dead plants. It’s a plan that sort of worked last time I tried it, right up until the point I jammed a stick into my finger and couldn’t do any gardening for a while, followed by my first bout of Covid putting me out of action for a few weeks.

Still feeling uneasy this morning, but am back in the office with plans to go to trivia with friends tonight.
Not to be too cliched, but October, let’s do thisssssss.

Today I had the day off and by lunchtime had only done 1,440 steps. I thought, oh it’s going to be a day when I don’t hit my target 😞 And then I thought, “Why? Why should the day be that way? Change the day! Make it the day you want!” So I did a Strong Steps with Kenta workout and did 10 minutes on the exercise bike (people in my street were throwing out an exercise bike that was in great working order, just the electronic bit was broken. So we took that bit off and brought it in and it works fine!). Then my oldest wanted to practise skateboarding so we went to the local park and he practised while I walked laps of the netball courts. I looked silly but I couldn’t care less! I noticed different people on their different exercise journeys, from a superfit young guy practising his soccer moves to an obese man doing slow and difficult but determined walking laps of the oval. I ended up doing 12,025 steps and am pretty happy with myself and how I changed my outcome. Now I’ve got work tomorrow and need to get to bed but I’m all hyped up like a 5 year old 🙆🏼♀️
