I spent all afternoon and evening weeping lol, I think I have more tears to weep. Soon enough I’ll get back on the job hunting wagon and send out apps, but for now I shall wallow and distract myself with games.
Thank you for your kind words and support, I really appreciate every single one of you 💜💜💜
Oh honey :( go wallow, but don’t wallow for too long! You’ve got this!!! 💕💕
so many hugs
I got a win today. I found out that there was illegal reselling of one of our vendors products online at multiple legitimate retailers.
Emailed director. Director rang vendor slt. Vendor product manager is going to contact the major retailers to take down the ads asap.
Simon gets a fucking victory.
Simon for employee of the month 🙌
Simon really wants some stuff to do before he goes stir crazy lol
So who else leaves the air con on for their cat on hot days when they’re at work?
Please validate my sanity lol
yes
and the heater in winter too
On a timer, yes.
Yes, I leave Melbcat with a wrapped hot water bottle on cold days and would either have cooling run well before or left on low if I’ll be out for long on a hot day.
I’d worry about overheating at her age
Fuck I love a good mango.
May the cattery call me with good news this afternoon 🙏💜
I really need a little win
🤞
Fingers crossed 🤞🏾❤️

My little dog has been the bestest dog this past week. Considering he gets excited and starts jumping on us if he hasn’t seen us in 5 minutes he’s been remarkably calm and delicate with the man.
YL came home from holidays last night and he was happy to see her. I had to tell her to keep the excitables down. It’s like he’s gone into senior mode (the dog that is).
aww
Another solo trivia night and at a brand new venue. The big crowds must be because of the tine of year. Once I got everything set up it went smoothly
Love hearing about this!! I love seeing the different people at trivia from the fanatics to the people just using it as an excuse to drink. A quiz host once told me about doing a corporate event for a lawyer firm and it was one of the most soul draining experiences of her life
It’s interesting seeing the difference in teams as well. The team that usually wins at my regular spot is a about 8 people from one family so they have a whole range of general knowledge to draw from
It’s 5 o’clock baby, jetzt ist FEIERABEND
It’s like staring into the internet circa 2000
so hot down the beach, hot and glary,
I think if I go to the beach this summer I will go early in the morning, after brekkie, that way I won’t get cooked or skin cancer
I did find some nice shells
Thanks for the reminder yo order s Gothasol
just walk on the shady side of the street
( I’ve done more walking in the sun the past 6 months than in the past 30 years )
I know you can get UV resistant umbrellas or parasols but you do get funny looks
Free donuts in co-working today, never seen so many people go after free food at once. I was one of them.
it’s a doughnut day, I had some for lunch and I regret nothing, was so hungry, brekkie was at 5 am
Have had to reschedule open mic to next week. Have to be at work at 7am Friday morning so that’s not going to happen if I’m not finishing till 10ish at the bar.
yum, good bread morning
I have been thinking of making panettone, which is my fave bread, I will need to buy peel and brandy and flour and eggs
good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
I made seitan today, which is basically gluten protein that acts like meat. I made a two little slabs of it and am treating them like pork belly - sliced and fried. This time I put it all through the mincer before cooking which really helped to break up the gluten. The first efforts were almost impossible to cut with a knife. I should get some sausage casing and try to make snags out of it.
Yum!
Hope the sting heals fast
that looks delicious
and hope the sting gets better soon
I might try the beach 🙂
I used to go with my mum to Peter Mac many moons ago and we’d use Parliament station and she hated the escalators so much that I’d have to talk to her the whole time while on them. Going down was the worst. I could here her mumbling “fuck, fuck, fuck”.
Anyway I asked her one time why we didn’t use the lifts. Her answer was “I tried them once. They’re slow and smelt horrendously like piss. I was slowly suffocating. Never again”.
To this day whenever I get in a lift I think about who the fuck has pissed in the corner?
I feel it’s rare to find a public transport/car park life that doesn’t smell like piss.
The loos at Parliament station are so hard to access that I can quite see how someone in a hurry would go to the lift at the end of the platform rather than hike up the escalators, fish out their myki, walk a large circle around the barriers, go to the loo, walk back around, fish out myki again and then back down those awful escalators again. The Parliament escalators are famous for bothering people with sensory or balance issues - instant vertigo. The designers got them so wrong that they are now world famous for bad design. I hate those escalators with a passion. I usually end up sitting down on a step and only stand up for the last little bit. God help anyone navigating them with shopping bags and/or small children in tow. They should have put proper loos on each platform, or at least on each level. And good luck FINDING the loos at Melbourne Central.
There was a carpark near the Aquarium so many levels high. I wondered why there was so many cars on the ground level until I got in the lift to come down. The smell in the lift was nostril hair burning. I told the kid “don’t touch the walls and certainly don’t read anything”.
transport test done, at best the train disruption has doubled the time it takes to get From Seaholme to Spencer street, from 25 min to 50 . Not great but still less time than from Carlton to Spencer!
Watched the new Knives Out movie. Got cheap tickets and I’m so glad I watched it at the movies, even though it will be on Netflix in two weeks. 4.5/5
A new The Zenith Passage song dropped recently if you like your extreme metal with a bit of groove
Hell yeah! Will suss it out.
Their riffs aren’t just constant pummelling, which gives them a lot more groove. And if anything it makes such fast technical music harder because everyone needs to be so tight
Anyone know if the social media ban is going to apply to YouTube Music?.. Got a family account and it seems that my kids access will be affected, even though it’s already a kids account…
Another reason why this ban is actually stupid af.
I don’t want to sound like a herald scum headline but the term Nanny State does come to mind.
Like the vape ban that backfired spectacularly.
this morning is test public transport morning

I didn’t get the job.
I just want to fucking disappear, I’m so fucking tired. I just want a chance.
tone212_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
That sucks! The way you speak about Mickey and pets in general, I can’t think of anyone better suited for the role. What more could they possibly want?! I know it might not help much to hear this, but please keep trying and don’t give up.

Your chance will come, lovely. It will. And when it does you are going to be incredible at it.
You can hide away and lick your wounds for a day or two but we’re not going to let you wallow. ❤️

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I’m so sorry, that’s so awful. Did they give you any feedback? We are all still cheering for you!! This one wasn’t for you, but there’s still a whole lot out there!!
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Just that it was a really hard decision, and she struggled a lot with deciding. Idk if that makes me feel better or worse, that I was so close
Thank you 💜 I appreciate that so much 💜💜💜
