Feeling a bit suffocated under myself. I’m sleeping too late, spending way too much time on my phone and am struggling to vocalise what I need. Left work early because I realised I was just walking in circles and getting frustrated.

I feel you. I’m hoping something can help
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Hope you feel better soon.

“Yeah, I’m here” is pretty much the best anyone is getting out of me today.

What’s your favourite final form of potato for devouring? Roasted? Fried? Mashed? Baked?
StudChud@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I am the final form, perfect for devouring as is or prepared for your pleasure 🙇♀️
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 10 months ago
“Oh, ok, that’s interesting…” inches towards utensil drawer
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
All of them. I don’t have favourites.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Me too. I will eat potato in any form.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Hmm. What’s at the bottom of the pile then?!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
@StudChud@aussie.zone I believe this is for you.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Microwaved duh. With Heinz baked beans, sriracha, butter, and cheese
SituationCake@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I don’t play favourites. All forms of potato have their time and place.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 10 months ago
All of them, depending on the day
Catfish@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Baked, stuffed ala my Winnie the Pooh cookbook (this means bacon, cheddar, and some form of allium)
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Oh yes that’s an excellent choice!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Did this in a bracket night. Hot chips won.
Roasted wins in my books. Scalloped potatoes I don’t like
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I almost feel like hot chips is still too versatile. French fries? Fat cut? Beer battered? Skin on? Chicken salt? Condiments?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
hot chips
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 10 months ago
In what form? And with what condiments? Do you like spiral potato sticks as well?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
yay, tickets for frankenstein at pentridge booked
i’m going on fri AND saturday , tee hee :)

There are some older people in my team that don’t quite understand how a QR code works. They say ‘this poster needs a QR code on it.’ so you ask, ‘where do you want it to go?’ and they kind of get lost. Same with the concept you need to build the destination for a QR code before you just put one somewhere.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
QR codes are a massive attack platform. Seriously man.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I get it, a sticker of another QR code over the top of another one can take you to a number of fun places. Not ideal but these are going on some farm equipment to access the maintenance manual so they won’t be super public once bought
Taleya@aussie.zone 10 months ago
“Which URL do you want it to go to?”
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Even that’s beyond them. That’s the level of tech literacy I’m dealing with here

Yesterday was really tough.
Melbcat was quite uncomfortable still, crying and fussing, and needed an extra top up even with solid pain management. Really hoping her antibiotics kick in and offer some relief. I understand antibiotic stewardship but still wish she hadn’t been made to wait so long for treatment.
I spent most of the day sleeping outside of pickup and meds because I have an infection too, plus really struggling to manage.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
so many hugs
you can do this together
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Found out Melbcat only got a little over a weeks worth of antibiotics so I managed to get the vet to bump it up to 3 weeks (against manufacturers advice). I hope that’s long enough that it does something.
I’m so stressed.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago

try to immerse yourself in some positive media and tv comedies as a break

Unless I get this ADHD under wraps, Ps get degrees. I have decided I will be sticking with this course for the casual teaching opportunities whilst I figure out what I want to do. Could do a mix of casual, and TA work, until the regulatory people say I can’t work anymore until I complete this big project that everyone has to do to be fully registered. I like being in the classroom, but the disrespect sometimes just puts me in fight-or-flight, even if they aren’t intentionally disrespectful.
I think what I really want to do is help people like me sort their lives out. Could do careers, but most of the opportunities are part-time in a school and are given to teachers. I guess I’ll have to suck it up
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I’ve just started a cert 3 and it’s so badly put together that I’m doing the bare minimum and seeing if they pass me.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Yikes, can I ask what field it’s in?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Is there a way to transition to adult education? It sounds like it might be a better fit
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It’s kind of an option? I think a lot of adult ed focuses on TAFE quals so I’d need to have one of those plus industry experience.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
16 sneezes, coffee then a telfast.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Dammit, forgot to have telfast today. Am now out & sneezing
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 10 months ago
👍 🙏 🤝
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
is that what the headache is
it’s awful
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Probably. It always is for me. 😔
SituationCake@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I don’t know what time the wind is due, but I’ve put my most vulnerable pot plants into a more sheltered location. There a few houses with Halloween decorations around here, we might see some stray blow up pumpkins floating around the streets tomorrow! Also thought and prayers to anyone who has bin night.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
locked down as much as it can all be locked down
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I’m just looking forward to seeing how my neighbour’s Diwali lights hold up to the wind - long strings of light hanging off the eaves at the front of the house, I’m predicting tangles will occur at the very least.

Beautiful day and a trip into town for the physio.
Will be great to get out of here a few hours. Have a great day everyone!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Got my set to a point I can play them easily. Time to put my name down for the next open mic!
