    Today I convinced a client to dump their incumbent provider and sign with the org I work for.

    Got another client to agree to a full security audit.

    And a 3rd one to let us do their cyber security insurance.

    Big wins for a Monday. Sadly positive feedback is non-existent here. Ah well.

    I’m sometimes a bit sad that my mother was not good at making salads and I grew up thinking of them as boring garnishes on the side of the plate. Now that I’ve mastered the art of combining ingredients and creating nice dressings salads are often my favourite part of a meal. A waste of all those years I could have been eating salads if only I’d realised sooner!

    I was juggling shopping bags and my heavy backpack on one shoulder arriving home earlier when the backpack slipped off my shoulder and landed directly on my big toe.

    Screams of anguish followed, my god it hurt like hell. Worst part is over and I’m icing my toe.

      Sorry to hear it :(

      When that happens to me, I start quickly repeating “worstpartisover worstpartisover”. I think it helps.

      Maybe.

    Lent is this Wednesday. I’ll be doing no added sugar during lent as per usual. If anyone wants to join me you’re welcome to.

      Hmmm no added sugar is slightly tricky for me but maybe I’ll give it a crack.

        When I run out of cheese I’m not planning on buying anymore for a bit. But I have a fair amount of cheese in the fridge, dam you savemore.

      You shall not come between me and my sugar.

      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        You can choose whatever else that may suit. I choose sugar because that’s the easiest for me. After a week I choose something else to add to my no diet. And so forth.

      Is that like no lollies or no sugar in tea?

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        No lollies, cakes, biscuits, ice cream, chocolate, soft drinks etc. Fruit is allowed. I don’t have sugar in my hot drinks anyway.

    Melbcat is eating a little bit of wet food thanks to the antinausea shot last night.

    I’m extremely worried though. What I think has happened is she may have a post-surgery kidney injury, which was a risk and could have worsened her kidney disease by a lot. This could be serious. Having that surgery could have made her much sicker and shortened her life.

    I’m still waiting for a call with the full blood results.

    I dropped avocado covered with salad dressing down my front while eating lunch. I tried to clean it up with a wet wipe and now I have a giant wet patch and smell of disinfectant. 😭

    source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      get as much of that stuff off as possible before you wash as avocado will stain clothes

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        At least it’s just my work uniform. And if it does stain I can mostly hide it behind my lanyard!

    I keep getting notifications saying my phone battery has deteriorated and that I should contact Samsung support. Going to use AccuBattery to see how low that percentage has gotten.

        Interesting. Mine was 74%. I hear that is not good. Had to download a third party app to get that number.

    Catching up with a friend I haven’t seen for 30 years on Saturday afternoon. We reconnected recently and now she’s back in Australia. Just not sure where to go! I’m going to ask them at work, they all actually go out to grown up places 😆Any suggestions would be welcomed.

      Oh that’s exciting!! I hope you have a wonderful time! Are you going into the city or looking for a different area?

      source
      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Thankyou! The city or immediate surrounds is probably easier for both of us.

      Forecast 29 degrees. Maybe some CBD area galleries and late arvo cocktail?

      source
      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        A gallery with a nice place to eat 🤔 That actually sounds really good. Those places are usually quiet, which is great because we’ve got a lot to catch up on.

    I need to remember to bring my kobo to work. I’m reading this play about Peer Gynt and I can feel how it’s based on folklore I know nothing about

      I should sell my kobo, I read books on my phone.

        That’s the upside, you always have it with you. And I don’t pay for ebooks so I can’t sync them between devices. I could probably do some Calibre server sync but any time I try something like that I just hit a wall

      ee that means party pies :) I will do a few test runs they usually explode.

      source
      • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Cut a couple of little slits in the top pastry before putting it on the pie. This allows steam to escape which is what usually causes splosions.

    It was a very warm night, but I think it’s time to buy a new electric blanket before the weather changes and catches me unprepared. Any recommendations?

    source
    • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Electric? Just get another cat

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Well, my current cat will only come to bed once it has already warmed up. She’s only interested in being warmed, not doing the warming. Mr Woof does pre-warm a small section of bed, but he leaves to do his security patrols when I go to bed. So I really think an electric blanket would be a more reliable option.

        source
    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If you have pets, don’t buy one with the felt type cover. You can NEVER get the fur off. But if you do, be extra careful when changing bed linen that the furry family members don’t get near the exposed electric blanket, they will leave their hairy legacy there forever.
