Because I deal mostly with clients I need a second Sim card or a piece of shit hand me down from work to use.
So I asked the other day and they bought me a new galaxy s25!
I don’t know even know what to say at this point honestly.

I’m so glad you’re being valued!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
It’s a fucking weird feeling lol
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
They value you, your expertise and your work.
And why wouldn’t they?
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I hope it’s a big company and they aren’t lovebombing you. That’s cool that they gave you a phone! I have a relative who mostly deals with clients and uses their personal phone. They get calls from 6am everyday and on the weekend. Cherish that work phone!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
It’s pretty small. There’s about 40 or so people.
They’re super ethical with clients as well. It’s really different.
And yeah I used to use my personal number. Fuck.all.that lol

Some men wonder why their partners don’t have sex with them much.
I’m here to tell those men, they need to cook dinner more often. It’s in the Top 5 Actions that make men hot.
In unrelated news, my hot man is hotly cooking pork crackling for dinner, which he will then hotly turn into noodles with bok choy.

back pain update
Woke up very sore this morning so decided it was time to see a GP (had only seen a physio before). As the pain is not worsened by pressing down in the sore area, the GP suspects something deeper than a muscle issue. Got a blood test and x-ray done and some pain meds prescribed, now we wait. I am a little worried about how this is escalating, I really hope it’s nothing serious but better to be safe than sorry. I have a physio appointment tomorrow but not sure I will go, I think I want to rule out a deeper issue via the GP first.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
So glad you’ve gone to a GP and I hope you get answers quick! In the mean time may the meds give you some relief, but still don’t push it! I’d skip the physio until you’ve spoken to the GP again.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Second round interview is done! It sounds like a great place to work, tbh, and I think I made a good impression on them as well :3

My favourite pair of jeggings got a massive tear, seam to seam, across the knee. So I’ve cut the legs off, and hemming them to turn them into a cute pair of summer shorts :3
one leg down, one to go
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Jeggings are the best piece of clothing EVER invented for women.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Hard agree 🙌
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
That you did this rather than auto piff tells much. Good job!
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Thank you! I have a row of back stitching to do above the hem I did, and then I’ll trim the excess.
I love altering and mending over buying new! Especially as these are my fav jeggings and I’m not ready to part with them 😂 I have a skirt that’s too large and too small in all the wrong places on me, that has a nice flora pattern - I’ll use those to mend the pocket on the jorts I’ve created 😂

Something about seeing freshly hatched babies out in the wild makes me happy. They’re so…scrunched
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Mr Woof thinks Dynamic lifter is fun-sized manure snacks. As I just spread 25kg of the stuff over the back yard he has been having a great time. I also spread 15kg of gypsum, then decided it’s time to call it a day. Tomorrow I have to move the rest of the soil (about 1m^2^) to the back yard, level it off and scatter the grass seeds and a bit of fertilizer. Then it’s just a matter of watering the seeds a couple of times a day until it sprouts and I should have lawn.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
AITA
went to beach, played with some dogs, talked to some folks, found not many shells :) not a problem
and then the big dog
a big dog heavy came running at me and rammed into me, ok, but owner said nothing
then dog went back to owner
then dog did it again, i hear my spine crunch
I yelled at owner, stop your dog,
"he’s just a 12 month puppy, i’m training him, he jumps up ( he did not jump up at all, he rammed )
( she didn’t train him at all, she said nothing to her dog )
I’m disabled ( and I am, I have to be careful of my back). Owner acted like she was the victim.
“so am I. don’t use that as an excuse”
i said, excuse for what?
she said, this is a dog beach, don’t come here
I walked away
one, she didn’t train or control her dog
two, it’s a local beach, only half the people there have dogs
three, there are lots of different people at the beach
there was an elderly woman on crutches at the beach 30 minutes earlier, would it have been her fault if she was injured by the uncontrolled dog?
or the mother who was there with a baby in a pram?
i’m pissed
this is the first time I’ve experienced that at the beach

That’s when it’s time to pull out your phone and take some photos.

NTA. That’s an awful situation and that woman is an idiot. Her dog will continue to hurt people. I hate that this happened to you!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
NTA. I have had many active working dogs over the years and sometimes they can be overly energetic when young and stuff up (just like kids). But I would always be there, apologise, get the dog under control and reinforce training. And I watch other people to gauge whether they are up for rambunctiousness (how are they walking, do they have a dog etc) and try to minimise harm before it happens.
Anecdotally I have noticed some terrible socialisation of dogs in the last few years and more and more dipshit owners.
Yes sometimes at a dog beach accidents happen. And yes you can and should expect people to be responsible. I hope your back is ok
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I had many large dogs as a kid. Biggest would be the Rottie x St Bernard people were scared, reality the most dangerous would be she sat on you
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
thanks for validation
I feel like such a karen but I looked up the dog beach laws and the dogs have to be under control at all times. My beef was with the owner , I could see the dog was good natured but just not controlled or trained well. Note I talked to the owner and held her responsible for her dog. I didn’t blame the dog at all, didn’t yell at the dog, dog was just being a dog. I said No is all.
gees, and I was playing with four dogs at once just 30 minutes before that. ( they were all adorable, especially the very fluffy one who had such short legs it made us laugh when she would run) I really love dogs
I see so many families at the beach. That dog could hurt people.
I’m thinking when the weather improves and it’s crowded every day other dog owners will start having a go at this dog owner and they will not put up with her darvo shit.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I hate that… one day someone is going to get seriously injured and sue her arse
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
The rule should be if you can’t control your dog, don’t take it off the leash. That’s why my dog is not leash free.

Gone Girl is such a fucked up movie but very cleverly written. 3/5.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
The twist was so beautifully executed. And yes, so so so fucked up. I hated the ending though, it made me so angry. (I read the book first and act 2 had me sitting there with my mouth hanging out). Movie got bonus points for the sheer audacity of showing NPH

(fake) penis.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I haven’t read the book, but it sounds like its ending made more sense. Rather than the audience feeling sorry for Ben Affleck’s character.

When the man falls asleep while watching a show only to wake when it’s over, I love to say “Bloody good show that wasn’t it especially the end”? I wasn’t watching it anyway. I just love to say it.

Sometimes I say “did you enjoy that darling”? Then when he puts it on again the next time, I’ll say “but I’ve already seen it”.

The front yard is almost complete. The dirt is all down, I just need to sprinkle some grass seeds and water everything in.
The trees over the back fence are now almost all gone. It’s a bit weird looking out the back window and just seeing sky.
I can’t see anything except sky over the fence if I’m sitting down.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I have dirt! I now cannot leave (in the car) until I move said dirt off the driveway.
I have done the mowing of the front yard, so plan of attack for today is to also mow the back yard, then put down fertiliser on the front, gypsum and fertiliser at the back, then start shovelling dirt from front to back. The nature strip and back yard will also be getting new grass seed as both have patchy grass with lot of gaps. It’s not expected to rain until Friday night (when I have to go to work again anyway) so I should be ok to take my time, but the sooner it is done the sooner I can put my feet up and congratulate myself on a job well done.
But first, breakfast.

shovelling dirt
Don’t envy you.
I always make the mistake of trying to move it quickly.

RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Looks like the view from my lounge room is changing today, they are knocking down the old windbreak cyprus across the road. Hopefully they are leaving the few natives that are interspersed in a few spots. I think I’ll now be able to see some distant hills and trees over the far side of the paddock, at least for a few years until they build houses in the way (and if I’m still here at this point I should have my own garden grown up so I won’t be looking at just fences anyway). It would be a much nicer view if the colourbond back fence wasn’t mostly in the way.

Writing challenge.
Tell me a story, but it must include these five words: architecture, light, cloud, special, chipmunk
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Charlie the chipmunk had a secret. At night he would tuck in the chipmunk kids, kiss his wife on her chipmunk cheek and head out for a special little ‘stroll’…little did they know that was when he transformed into ChipAvenger, donning his cloak and mask he scaled the architecture, waiting for the Chipmunk Light Signal from the police chief. Launching off the rooftops, gliding through the cloud layer and landing on the unsuspecting villains. He’d have them tied up and dealt with and still be home for his acorn custard and a nice cup of tea.
