    Date went okay. Guy was nice. We had some things in common but also were in different worlds. I think after I meet these next two people, I will quit this app thing.

      The amount of dates I’ve been on where they were amazing in text and potatoes in real life led me to ditching the apps v

      You’re going to quit because the very first person was nice and the date went well?

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        No, it’s just kind of exhausting to meet people off apps. It’s like going on a blind date, except you have pictures of them and a little bit of chit chat.

      I only wind up with women I’ve known for a year+ through hobbies or social circles. I don’t date well, I’m a bad salesman.

        Yes, homemade tortillas. And home grown corriander too.

    Woke up too early due to a nightmare I was going to fail year 12. What? That was a very long time ago, and I was never at risk of failing, brain what is wrong with you? I would like to go back to sleep now.

    Gotta say, work is not very good at product launches. They’re the sort of place that only puts out something new every 5 years or so but this has been a real hodge-podge.

    When I worked for the world’s largest instrument manufacturer we would sometimes have 3 product launches in a week, but they were bad at launches in their own way. They’d announce something then say stock wouldn’t arrive for a couple of months. When stock finally hit stores we weren’t talking about it because we were preparing for the next product launch.

    I took the best client facing IT guy with me into a meeting today.

    Let me just say, he’s an awesome guy and great to work with.

    However.

    These guys really overestimate what the average person understands. Now I get why they hired me.

      Back when I worked as a business analyst, about 80% of my work was translating geek into human and back again. It’s a thing. Geek being insurance speak/legalese.

        My job description is “Parts Interpreter”.

        I have to translate descriptions like “Thingy”, “Whatchamacallit” and “Doo-dad” into useful descriptions through dialogue with the customer.

        It is amazing how often the customer doesn’t want to work with you in a dialogue and doesn’t answer any questions or respond to clarifications.

      I almost got offered a job because I could explain Juniper and MLPS even though I don’t have the technical knowledge.

      source
      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        If you have good hygiene and can translate any technical concept to a normal person you’re basically an instant hire in IT.

    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      agree

      the hard part is not making average people defensive

      source
      • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Part of the reason I gave up on my relationship with my father is that he started off defensive when learning about computers and devolved into a full on adult tantrum when I told him he didn’t need to know everything at the start. Specifically I was setting up DNS and he wouldn’t let me continue but refused to listen to anything I had to say. Still bothers me. Were I richer I’d get therapy for it but as it is I don’t think there’s any reconciling between us at this point.

    🍻 cheers. I’m trying DHC Twilight Hazy IPA which is from a Japanese brewery near Mt Fuji. It’s very malty for an IPA. I purchased it at Sessions bottle shop in Box Hill. They have a vast range of Japanese beers. What they didn’t have is a Thai spirit called Mekhong. It’s really a rum type spirit. If anyone can turn me on to a supplier I will be your best friend.

        I’ve had bowel cancer screening and breastscreen letters so far. Apparently turning 50 means your body is going to try to kill you.

        For me it was the bowel cancer swab that really made it sink in (so to speak)

        If it makes you feel better, it’s probably me who reimburses you for the cost of those. I pay a ton of hearing aid claims

    Melbcat seems a bit grumpy and withdrawn today. She ate a bit of wet food after the nausea meds kicked in, then after a while of hiding she came out and had some biccies.

    But she just seems a bit off. There was yelling at the door and to go up on the chair and now she’s just chilling looking a bit unwell. The vet said to monitor until tomorrow and call back if needed.

    I found more of the old brand of flea drops so old mate should be sorted for a few months.
