    Melbaboutown, hope you are doing ok. I’ve lost a much loved pet before and it’s just awful. We are here.

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Thank you both. It still hasn’t hit me yet but it is going to get so much worse when it does. I’m trying not to vomit all of my feelings here because I don’t want to burn you out. This isn’t going to be something I get over quickly or cleanly.

        Go ahead and word vomit as much as you need. We are here for you.

        Grief is meant to be messy.

        This is a safe space, word vomit all you need. We can carry that load for you.

    Stir-fry is ready

      that looks very nice

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Stir-fry was my staple meal when I moved out of home, I’d have it probably 4-5 times a week. Very affordable on student benefits - lots of rice and veg, a little bit of meat.

    Undercut is back babbbeee…last time I got one we went into lockdown shortly after. Hoping it wasn’t causal. Because having that hair off my neck is so so sweet

      I’ve got an undercut, and an overcut. I shave my head.

        Clippers or razor?

        Been a razor man for nearly 20 years

        There is nothing quite like a shorn cranium, I assure you.

    beach finds

    some nice shells and tiger shark tooth! The tooth is still razor sharp.

    the air was so clear and weather conditions were just right to make the whole bay visible on the horizon, if you enlarge the picture you might be able to see on the horizon

    I got the job at coffee!

    I applied for some side work with a local coffee roaster and they want to bring me on board. I’ve been looking for a bit of extra decent work like this for years now. This should be some interesting work

    source
    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      That’s awesome!! I bet that’ll be interesting, the coffee roasters around my work are very cool/strange cats!!

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        It should be good. They’re looking for someone to help with all the stuff I’ve had a lot of success with on social media. They already have everything in place, they’re just looking for someone to take the lead with it

    A full day of work today, babysitting my sister’s littles tonight, and Dad wants to discuss something with me that’s important but that he Will Not Contextualise…

    Busy day

    source
    • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Urgh! Refusal to context makes everything worse that it probably is. Just say money, health, legal or whatever… Something!

        He’s reassured me that I haven’t done anything terrible and no one’s dead, but if he can say that it’s not about that he can surely say what it IS about

    I have now been to the doctor for a checkup, been poked, prodded and bled, plus I have 2 more appointments to make for more specialised prodding. My special ‘welcome to 50 years’ celebration 🤣.

    The doctor seemed nice, and much more interested than the previous one I went to. Plus it was fully bulk billed, and I have some insurance that will give me a discount for having regular checkups so it’s worth it from a financial perspective alone.

    Uni is starting again next week. Time to reclaim my academic dignity and hopefully complete my last year of studying for a while with flying colours. It’s time for me to trust myself and not be so scared to the point of avoidance.

    source
    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      When I went back I told myself that I didn’t care if I failed, as long as I tried my best.

      It helped.

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        This is a great mindset, thanks! I’m just going to try my best and see where it takes me. I don’t think I’ve been trying my best in my way too many years of schooling.

    CHEEEEERS!

    Pakige arrived. Mostly ok, but a couple of returns have been organised. Now I also have a $28 voucher that needs to be spent in 3 days, and only $8 worth sitting in my cart. Time to do some quality impulse buying - and worst case scenario I buy something to get to the $40 minimum spend and then return it. Ah, Temu. How you make any money is beyond me.

    1.5 hours on the phone with Microsoft tech support for moving my domain email provider to Microsoft, and still not resolved! Ran into an issue exporting inbox from old provider to new, and then the tech support guy had another appointment and had to go. Talk about leaving your customer in the lurch. I think I know how to fix but that was all the IT problems I could handle for one afternoon, will revisit when I’m bored enough on the weekend.

    Temu package is with the delivery driver. Always a bit exciting getting a Temu package, that uncertainty of whether it will be good or so completely dodgy it’s laughable.

    It’s Friday people. Don’t let the bastards get the better of you today (or any day for that matter).

    Treat yourself to a nice meal if you can and something to lift your spirits.

    beach

    I need the quiet walk 🫠

    The power failure was a good chance for me to test the UPS I just bought. I identified two problems. The first was that I’d plugged the NBN box into it, but not the actual modem. So that was at least an easy fix.

    The second problem was that the UPS is set to have a really loud intermittent beep when it runs on battery backup. Mr Woof evacuated to the backyard to avoid it and it was slowly driving me batty too. I did some research and found that it could be turned off, but you have to download software and connect it to the computer. So I downloaded the software, installed and connected everything, and it wouldn’t open the interface. I could get to the menu options but the one I needed was greyed out. Eventually I decided it might be because I’m using Windows 11 and it only listed up to 10 in its compatibility list. Running in compatibility mode didn’t work, so I dug out my old laptop, downloaded the program onto that and it worked perfectly. So the infernal beeps have now been silenced and I have uninterupted internet available.
