I didn’t get the job. They asked for references, I have them, and they say they won’t progress with me.
Unless one of my references lost it about me, which I highly doubt, then idk. I guess there was someone better.

Their loss! Asking for references and then saying no is pretty bad form, I vote you dodged a bullet.

I ate cabbage. The man gets in the car yabbering on. Me thinking wait for it, wait for it. He stops mid sentence gasping for air, winding the window down like his life depends on it. Me laughing so hard I nearly wet myself. It’s has been a great day indeed.

woohoo found an avocado pit splitting in my compost heap. Pot that fucker out and gimme some more trees
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Cool. They grow and fruit quickly too. 👍
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
You know that adage about “if you can get it past three years, you can’t kill it?”
They weren’t fucking kidding. I had one that Id’ grown from seed, eventually it go so big we had to ground plant it. Of course, ten years later, Cunt Landlord. His lordship didn’t want to leave it so we were gonna transplant, but FIL got trigger happy, started on it himself and sheared straight through the tap root. Still, we sighed, persevered, repotted in native soil, cross fingered and moved.
Of course it died…or did it? A year later I go around to finally clear out that pot and lazarus seedlings. Not the first time that tree did it either, a bad drought “killed” it ages ago and it came back.

I think an op shop dud my girlfriend got me was this Tommy Hilfiger sweater. It has a really closed neck hole like it wanted to be a turtleneck then just gave up. So it can look a bit weird when you wear a collared shirt with it, which is what I’d expect you to do.
And since it’s solid white you can see anything that’s put on underneath it. So you ideally need a plain white shirt because any prints or patterns will just show through. It’s one of those pieces of clothing that’s less of a hidden gem and more like ,‘yep, I can see why this is at the op shop.’

Welcome to the world of women’s fashion where modesty means putting on 16 layers.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
you’d expect better from a designer
what a disappoint
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
There must be some rich people way of wearing it i don’t understand, like the right combination of clothes to layer they just have

I feel odd because there’s no crisis to fix, no fight for survival.
I’m wired to be constantly on alert or pushing through another issue.
But now it’s quiet. And I don’t know what to do.
It’s an odd feeling.
Goodnight ❤️
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Someone told me once that even though the quiet can be tough to sit with, it is a luxury.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Maybe it’s that I can actually choose what to do with my life instead of constantly reacting to threats and living in a kind of long term survival mindset.
It’s feel weird to have a choice.

This is why I like the beach I go to.
I am far away from cars and there are few people. I might hear a boat or a far away train whistle. But otherwise it’s just the water, the wind and birds. It’s quiet. 🫥
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
When all is well, I wait for the other shoe to drop.
May it not drop you for, our dear Simon.

Today at the beach I found a mop of either squid or octopus eggs, the ovules are 5 cm long and joined together in the middle. There were no little animals in them that I could see.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Wow, I’m so impressed at the biodiversity your beach has! The last time I went to the beach, I saw dolphins, sea snails, and cuttlefish but no sharks or octopii eggs
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Lol
Best part is it came in the mail with a cancellation of an infringement notice that I took the rap for but did not commit.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
The worst part of these is that they seem to be fishing for vulnerable desperate people.
Once I accidentally answered the door to a religious doorknocker who started up all sympathy about how hard life is these days… I made it a point to say no, I’m doing fine and so grateful for all that I have!
His shocked face was telling.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Yeah that’s their gimmick. Come. We have free biscuits, a cuppa and an ear to listen to.

Oh fuck yeah. The yellow bit got me thinking. WTF did this person do to piss off Jesus?
Also I think it’s a record for the amount of times I’ve typed the name Jesus.

They always seem like nice old people up this way but i dread to think what they’d say if you started asking them more probing questions on what they think about things
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Yeah nah don’t ask questions or you might find yourself on their recruitment list.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Pretty sure I’m either sick with the flu or some kind of gastro.
Blergh.
But at least I have the switch to keep me company. Oh and also Gibson of course 🐱

Plus it helps having a modded switch 🏴☠️

Wow I did not think I would be so disappointed but here we are.
Still not response to my request for feedback, but I’m not expecting them to either. It just sucks to not know where I went wrong.
I just to want to disappear

Turn on Windows computer for the first time in a while… game won’t open and the computer has high usage doing nothing. Go to open Windows Defender and it’s now linked to my Microsoft account, and trying to make me buy a Windows Defender subscription (and not doing a scan when I click ‘no thanks’). That’s dirty.
I found a different way and am scanning now but Microsoft get slimier and scammier by the day.

More nasturtium flowers are coming up, three full blown and one budding. The alyssum have started blooming.
I regret choosing such low maintenance plants though. It made sense. The pumpkins would honestly have been way too much work. But at least when I have plants to care for it’s another thing that occupies my mind and pulls it back into the real world, rather than being so much on the internet.
I feel like the internet is becoming weirder and meaner.

o lord. Temu order came. Several thousand lead testers (His Lordship’s anxiety sparked after the lead paint discovery and he wants to obsessively check every inch of his brew gear. Which is fair enough, you want DTs from delicious beer, not lead dust)

look up boyle’s law and partial pressure testing in my old Martin and Connor books, it’s been a while

Going to see Wicked For Good tomorrow, so I am of course making an ✨ event ✨ of it, included themed nails and probably sparkly eyeshadow. It’s what got me through this week.

Got down the bellarine last night. Fell asleep and missed geelong station again and woke up at marshall lol. 3rd time now. The chairs are too comfy.
But geelong station at 9pm is interesting. Only 2 arrests over an hour while waiting for the bus, no idea what for. Average wed. night I guess. Stupid place to pull shit as the copshop is right next door. Literally walked out the station, nabbed them and walked back.
But fuck it’s good to have some alone time. Walking here from the bus stop (15min walk) in almost pitch black, no noise except the surf in the background was bliss. Reminded me of when I was kid (13/14) punching cones in the dunes w/ mates and walking back in the wee smalls. Brought back memories. p’s were strictish back in melbs but down here nothing mattered. No questions, no curfew. thinking back pretty lucky w/ that absolute freedom at that age here.

Can we trade seeds, I’ve finally got purple poppies after years of failing to get them to germinate.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Yea for sure. There won’t be a shortage heh. I think these are ‘flanders red’. I’ll throw you a dm after I collect some.

Those are leaping out of the ground
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It’s just too much lol. Can’t wait to get rid of them tbh although it’s not my decision to make. Suppose I’ll wait until they’re full tilt.
If it were me I’d do a veggie / herb thing.
