    In a bit of exciting news I’m becoming a pub trivia host. It will be a bit of consistent side money and whilst not ideal because I have to go to a place and do a thing, it’s close to home and I’ve been looking for side work for a while and gotten nothing, so this is a nice change.

      That’s awesome, I love pub trivia.

      Wow that sounds like a really interesting side gig!

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        It’s definitely one of the more interesting Going To A Place jobs you can get so I don’t mind

      That’s so fun, good on you!! I’ve considered doing it in the past, I think you’d see some hilarious stuff.

        I haven’t properly hosted yet, but there seems to be a balance between actually being a host and you could just run through the questions and the crowd would follow along anyway.

        So it probably won’t be too difficult once I get used to it, and it’s good to know the entire show isn’t hinging on you

    There’s a woman at work who really likes the colour pink. I noticed one time I was helping her with something and saw she had a pink travel cup, pink sunglasses, and even changed the theme of her browser to be pink.

    It’s something I keep noticing about her now like a recurring bit about a side character on a TV show. I hope other people have noticed as well because it would be a nice thing to include on the cake for her birthday month or anything else work does for her

    Been playing Stray, it’s such an interesting game. Went in knowing nothing about it except you’re a cat who gets lost, but it’s been fun and unsettling and the puzzles are good. It’s different from the usual games I play which are investigate every single corner, collect, grind, etc.

    Another day in the office by myself. We’re having billing issues with one of the big social media companies so I’m using the time to work on backburner things I’ve wanted to do

      functioning, kinda

    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Physical - overworked (this is as I have a back muscle strain from last week that just won’t get better and is painful, hoping to be back at focused level soon)

      Emotional - somewhere between functioning and overworked

      Varies with the time of day. Hovers over Functioning but goes up and down.

      I think we’re going to have to have a word with YB’s supervisor - maybe put YB on a first warning. Has anyone got a copy of the KPIs for the role?

      source
      • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Ah but then we run the risk of accidentally performance managing YB out. Have we got a suitable back up plan or are we prepared to recruit for the role? Do the absences outweigh performance and can be fill the gap with current resources?

    Oops, I bought a device at an outlet place thinking it was a 2-in-1 (360 hinge). Imagine my surprise now that it has arrived. Still a good deal, but not quite the deal I thought.

    FYI you can’t delete / deactivate mobile Mykis when they go negative as many times as you want anymore. Only five cards per device.

    source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      why would anyone have everything on their mobile I don’t know

      putting all of one’s eggs in one’s basket and it’s a risk

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        That is true. It does save a few dollars if you delete it when the balance is negative and start from $0 again.

    When going on a holiday, would you want to go somewhere warm or cold, and why?

    source
    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I prefer warmth. But if it was an adventurous holiday, I don’t have a preference, as long as the weather is calm.

      source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      as long as I’m comfortable and dressed appropriately I don’t mind

      I echo Spin, calm weather is important, no storms

      source
    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      It’s not really a major factor in picking a location for me. I generally like learning about the culture and history of a place, the climate is only a factor in regards to it’s influence on those. The weather becomes a factor, but only in terms of picking the best time of year to avoid things like storms and heatwaves if possible.

      I need to be in the sun at all times to get my summer coat cranking.

      (I turn much darker in the sun)

    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      If the purpose of the holiday is to lounge near a pool / beach, I want it warm. Tropical. Ocean water so warm it’s like going into a bath. The total opposite experience of summer in Melbourne.

      If the purpose of the holiday is to sight see and walk many steps per day, I want it comfortable (not too hot, not too cold). Maximum temps around 25 without too much humidity is the sweet spot.
