    Lawyer to deal with in the morning. Doubt I’ll get the answer I want. Feeling like the headmaster is going to scold me for scuffed shoes when I asked for this in the first place… ugh

      Glad you made it eventually!! 5 hours transit better than 5 hours of giant excavator??

      3 hours?

      • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Without replacements it’s 3.5. Today was closer to 5 :(

    Melbcat has has her solensia and vitamin b12 shots. I also pulled the carrier part of the new pram out of the box and put it together so she has a bit more room than in the standard plastic carrier.

    The length of her body means there’s not much spare room so her nose can bump on the wire as the car moves.

    Well the manager demanded I invite him to every meeting and I literally said 1 sentence in each 30 Min block

    He’s territorial and insecure.

    I’ve requested a meeting tomorrow just to get an idea of what I’m supposed to be doing all day.

    If this doesn’t work out, I’m leaving IT and moving to a different sector.

    Someone sat right behind me in co-working and started having an online meeting, out in the open because we all want to hear about it of course. I just did some subtle turning around with body language communicating “what’s that annoying and distracting sound that I suddenly hear”. Within a few minutes he moved into one of the sound proof booths. I’m getting very good at communicating my annoyance in ways that don’t involve any words. 😇

    I heard everyone’s great advice about not having a third coffee but hours later after two cups of tea I realised that I also have some sweetened condensed milk in the pantry. So now, not only have I had a third coffee I have had a vietnamese(ish) iced coffee (ish because I only have a moka pot not a proper vietnamese coffee dripper thing).

    I REGRET NOTHING!

        Sleeping is my superpower 🦸‍♀️ If I have an espresso late at night it will keep me up but mid arvo is usually fine. Its more the jitters that bother me

    Alright. I’m finally being included in the sales process. I’ve got about a dozen intro meetings with my clients over the next 10 days.

    Fuck yes!!!

    Five km rough beach walk done. Found some nice shells and a bluey jibbitz.

    The cool breeze and warm sun is such a feel good combination.

    New excavator next door for the massive mcmansion build going on. This one is the biggest yet and has the demonic low pitched wattle bird reverse noise not the beep. Not sure which is worse.

    So I’m noping out and heading down to the bellarine.

      I HATE that reverse noise.

      I’ve decided on office on Monday & Tuesday, and WFH rest of the week. So far so good, managers haven’t said anything about it.

        We’re meant to be an in office first place but you can get away with a day a week and maybe a second one here or there

    I’m currently washing YL’s school uniforms so I can donate them to the MS Society which are happy to take everything. Some of the dresses and pants I’ve done a marvellous job of hemming. I’ve seen some horrendous hemming on uniforms that stick out like dogs balls. I’ll also wash the woollen jumper and de-ball it and wait for a nice day to wash the jackets. I will not soak the shirts nor iron anything.

    As an non OP shopper, am I too anal or not doing enough?

    source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I always wash things before donating if they’re not new, I don’t iron

      source
    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I do the same as you, washed and folded. Check for stains (don’t forget the underarms), missing buttons, holes etc. If anything’s wrong with it I bin it. I know I could attempt to repair things but I also know it would sit in a pile forever waiting for me to do it. There’s no shortage of clothes in the op shops so some things just need to go in the bin. I don’t buy much from op shops, but if I do I always wash before using.

      source
    • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I launder things then drop them off, assuming they’re in good nick. Mostly clothes I find in the park from cars that’ve been stolen elsewhere and rifled through near me.

      source
      • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Um what clothes in the park from stolen cars?

      If donating uniforms, I’d make them so that a reasonable person could at least try them on to ascertain the fit. I would iron them all where appropriate, including the jackets. Collars and cuffs only on the shirts. Soaking is probably going too far.

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I get what you’re saying but here’s the reason I’m not gonna iron. If I was to purchase say a dress, I would wash it when I got home anyway regardless of how it looked in the shop so ironing is pointless.

        If someone purchases a dress and doesn’t atleast wash it before wearing then they probably don’t iron either so why should I?

    One great thing about this Rapoo mouse is it has a sideways scroll wheel. Tilting the wheel on modern mice doesn’t always work so it’s great to have a dedicated wheel again. Perfect for anyone doing a lot of work in spreadsheets or tables

        I really should buy some decaf for this very scenario

      Green tea? Or a decaf, if that’s an option. Maybe you just need the mental stimulation of a coffee but not the chemicals.
