    Ok now I’m low key panicking a bit… I’ll be working Monday and Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday for a time. Got to wrap gifts this weekend and prepare foods as much as possible. The family had a vote and apparently unanimously voted for my Basque cheesecake as the Christmas dessert instead of pudding or other traditional stuffs 🤔

      Hun, listen, you are not a machine. You can only do so much. I understand you want to please everyone but you need to pull back sometimes so you don’t burn out. Prioritise your tasks. Make it easier for YOU. Your family will not hate you if you don’t give them a cheesecake for Christmas.

      Ps. Get the mini peelers to make a chocolate ripple cake instead. Much easier and they get to decorate it.

      Much love ❤️

      We voted and decided handing out kit kats was fine if you were expected to do all the effort.

    what a shit day, trains did not help

    going into city, meth head at station playing chicken with jumping off the platform, super high scary, I called security

    coming home, trains cancelled because thieves stole the copper wiring of the signally system , took an extra hour

    shops I wanted to go to were closed 🙄

    At least dinner was good. Shout out to Green Fields Vietnamese on Sydney Road

      Why the heck would they want to steal the copper wiring? It’s not like it’s a catalytic converter

      Yum! What did you get?

      source
      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        They sell the copper for cash. It’s not the first time the wiring was stolen from this area’s train line either. There are a few kms where the train line goes thru parkland and industry that are basically so remote thieves can steal with little chance of detection

        What did I get? Some rice paper spring rolls with mint and tofu, sweet sour chicken, special fried rice, green curry. It should last a few days. 🙂

    Dream:

    I’m a killer for my crime family. I run into our competitors killer (who is also my ex) and she tells me she’s dying.

    Once our guard is down we have a genuine conversation. She tells me it’s a matter of days now till she’s gone and I promise to stay with her until the end.

    I go and tell my family, and they’re overjoyed that she’ll be dead soon.

    I’m miserable about it.

    I go and spend her last days with her.

    She does and I wake up.

      I had a dream that two world renowned psychologists were using me as a training demonstration for three of their students. They were going to cure me of my alcoholism by telling me a story but it ended up being a story about spicy fried chicken which I tried and it wasn’t even spicy.

    So I have incredibly bad posture and weak muscles. I’ve been to the gym on-and-off. I’m thinking of rejoining, but then I am also considering just running and maybe pilates if it doesn’t cost a bomb. The latter activities don’t really focus on muscle building the way the gym does though.

    Has anyone here gone from being very weak and a hunchback to the hulk?

    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Some years ago, I did Pilates once a week. It was great for tone and flexibility. I don’t know if it specifically helps with posture, but you know that wobbliness that you can get trying to do a slow controlled movement? It good for that kind of stuff. It does take time and consistency though, not a quick fix.

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yes I want to be less wobbly! Thank you!

      I am currently in peak hunchback phase but previously I’ve done well with both gym (super simple jog + upper back and shoulder machines) and yoga. Yoga I like ke because it builds strength but of taught well also helps your nervous system so you aren’t holding on so tight. Ive not been back to a studio since they all got so expensive after COVID but there’s good YouTube stuff. Yoga with Adrienne is probably the most popular absolute basics and she usually has a 30 day challenge in Jan.

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Thanks! Have heard of Adrienne but the yoga has always seemed daunting. Have to start somewhere.

      Pilates with a physio was surprisingly effective if slow. I lost it all over the time we don’t talk about and can’t really regain but it’s worth a try if you can afford it or get it covered.

      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Ooh maybe it can be covered on private health. Might as well milk it whilst I’m still covered.

      yes, the gym is great as you have a coach/instructor

      I suggest getting a gym buddy , they help you with getting exercises right and with motivation

      also having a regular habit helps

    working in retail

    First of all, fuck the Christmas music. Secondly, no, we don’t have insert item that sold out weeks ago. We have at least five signs indicating what we are sold out of so we don’t waste our breath. The orders we are getting are never-ending, but that means more money on wages so yay for me I guess. I love how people are wearing Christmas attire. I saw someone dressed in a Christmas tree shaped dress and someone in a sparkly glittery Christmas dress which was so cool. Manager asked me to look in someone’s bag as I was the door bitch for a bit. A team member said he put something in his pocket. I asked the customer if I could check his bag (of course he’s gonna say no) and he said, “There’s crack in there. I’m not showing you that. I suppose you don’t smoke crack?” I died laughing and let him go. The manager told me I should’ve said that I might not be able to check his bag or his pockets but the cops can. I believe in human decency and setting high expectations, but I don’t give a shit anymore. Between this guy, and the people who complain to me about bag checks or having to serve themselves or the queues makes me not want to go into the classroom because I feel helpless and like a pushover. Getting paid 35 an hour for this shit with next to no training on what to say or do when someone steals is not worth it. Even if I tell them to leave something in the store, no one takes me seriously. I’m just a girl. I’ll just continue being nice to people and remember the hundreds of pleasant interactions I will have this week.

    Just heard Nathan Sadowski on an episode of Download This Show. I never thought I’d hear him on there. I was a little concerned when Rae Johnston was going to take over from Marc Fennel but she’s doing a great job and is bringing more tech skepticism to the show than Marc’s intended neutral tech news premise

    Went to the new park I’ve been keeping an eye on because it’s finally open. It’s a decent area, certainly things that child have been done better. But more importantly, I need to check it out for riding to and from work, that’s what I’ve been waiting for with this park
