D’ya ever sit down ready for the day and the first two things that jump out of the internet / work notifications just gut punch you? Not normal end of the world stuff, like people you thought were collaborators shouting things in direct competition to you…and being wrong…or things you thought were done six months ago that slipped through…like the world is rolling and you can’t keep up? I feel so far behind on everything
…coffee, sun, reset,.stay off linked in… remember it’s baby steps…
I have not caught up with the 90s stuff yet
I’ve pretty much given up
🫂
I got my fan. All the pieces are there and it’s working. Looking forward to having it beside my bed, 5 inches from my face, with a remote.
I hate voicemails so, so much.
I hate spam calls so I never answer unknown numbers. I’d rather someone leave a voicemail if they are legit, than me answering every random number.
Feel a bit bad that I didn’t realise the Lamarre-Condon trial started on Monday. But I cannot believe what I am reading as his defence, and what the prosecutor is alleging actually happened. Those boys must have been so scared.
Who in their right mind could possibly believe he was acting in ‘self defence’?
I reckon he has been emboldened by Greg Lynn’s case, which makes me feel so sick.
So this pig stalks his ex, pretends to be an Uber driver, breaks in and kills both his ex and new bf? And he and his lawyers want to claim self-defence‽
How does breaking in to someone else’s property and killing them constitute self-defence? Riddle me that, Batman.
What a piece of shit human, but unsurprising he’s a copper imo. One of the few professions someone could have where I wouldn’t date or even be friends with them.
If he’s instructed his legal team to run this defence they don’t have a choice! (I appreciate the interrobang.)
r/auslaw has some funny snarky takes on this. I have also learnt there that life without parole is a sentence open to the judge. Let’s hope so.
It’s unfortunate bad people gravitate to positions where they can use power to exploit or even hurt others.
We need better testing of applicants to weed out the bad ones.
The more I read about this case, the more utterly insane it is in the most awful of ways. He has the right to be innocent until proven guilty, but oh my god. Tbh it’s not as fascinating at the Erin Patterson case because the motive seems so so obvious, but I’m still going to follow along because I want to learn the outcome and I’m a nosey little bitch.
Tonight’s wave:
Was sitting there gearing up (or down) to jump in. Had a really friendly dog (labradoodle) rock up, sit on me (after it’d already jumped in itself) and shake itself down.
Doggo did that on purpose.
love that breed / cross, no water boundaries.
I’m jealous of the waves, so beautiful and always different
but then the still waters of Seaholme are so very calming and I need calm
RIP Angry Anderson 🤘
he was awesome, had personality 😊👍
I loved how I’d be watching some tv show or movie and he’d just pop up, like as a Bikie gang member or something.
Was going to gig tonight but decided to play warcraft with my cousin instead next week it is :)
What kinda snacks do you munch on Grand Final day?
I don’t really celebrate but I’ve had a hankerin’ for these chili and lime crackers I could get from a fruit and vegetable place a while ago. Such zingy goodness
I’ll let you know on the weekend lol
what ever is on offer plus a bottle of pink moscado
Anything with party pies.
Alright, back from a two day trip and got tomorrow off. Time to get cracking. Unfortunately meetings meant the cracking starts in the afternoon
Anyone want something from the shops?
If it’s not too late can I have an ice cream please.
Made it back down the beach for the final weed push before a lotta mulch moving.
What I’ve noticed down here over the years catching the bus from / to g-town is all the gen z say thanks to the driver. Very few have their phones playing music, and very quietly spoken. None of them touch on though 🙃 and the driver doesn’t give two shits. It’s basically a no questions asked free bus service (Mcharrys), which is how it should be.
Night and day compared to melbs PT. Same could be said for vline. Conductor hardly checks, and if you don’t have a valid ticket they don’t give two shits either. Never seen anyone booted off it’s just the vulture inspectors on trams really.
I think PT should cost much less. Still need some user contribution but it should be cheaper than driving. We want to encourage PT use. I dont care if people dont pay, but I wonder if people not touching on means they don’t get counted, and the patronage on the route looks artificially low. Leading to lower frequencies and less route expansions.
I’ve noticed a lot of young gen z aren’t tapping on since it became free for teens to use PT. They’re probably like, why, it’s not like it’s deducting anything.
PTV bus drivers don’t give a shit either lol, I think I remember some years back they got shitty that they were expected to check tickets and boot people off, so they’re not required to do that anymore. Those power hungry officers sometimes check though, especially on school days/peak times.
Trams depends on the day and school terms. When school terms are on, generally you see the failed pigs try to catch students at peak times. But taking the tram away from a school/uni, you see way less, if none.
Trains are a bit harder to fare evade as some stations have those gates and officers, but some don’t, so if you know the stations you can get off a stop or two early at a station with no gates, and either walk or catch a tram/bus.
Source: been fare evading since HS lol
Woke up with a Spring headache. Sun so glaring
fuckit. Tonight we Zelda.
Time for Linguae Latinae
My manger keeps approving leave thinking we’ll be around to answer the phone if something comes up.
Our lovely financial lady will be taking annual leave in the middle of our busiest period “It’s okay! I’ll just wake up early and do an hour of work every day!” GIRL!!! THAT IS NOT ANNUAL LEAVE. I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY.
Everyone thinks they could slip a little work in and it never happens. Just don’t put that pressure on yourself
I broke my boss of his habit calling my mobile by “leaving it at a friends place” for a week.
I was fully at work and had my sip phone raring to go. I just ignored every call and text to my personal mobile

Taking my cousin to the airport shortly. He going to Queensland to start setting himself up.
It’s been great having him here. Didn’t get to spend as much time with him as I would have liked, but I’ll be going up to see him when I can.
