Friend is proposing a group to beach day tomorrow. Which involves going to a kid and dog friendly beach, being a taxi, leaving early and being surrounded by chaos. I was planning a slow solo beach day with a book and big ocean waves as a way to round out the holidays. Maybe I can say I’m busy in the morning to avoid being a taxi, join them for a bit then they’ll probably leave late afternoon and I can have a fraction of the day I planned.
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Sounds like you’re on taxi and child minding duty. No thanks.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Your friend’s proposal sounds more of a chore than anything

Just went over to Lifou for 45 minutes or so. It’s so insanely hot. I’m still not 100% so I honestly had to be really careful over there or I felt like I might’ve passed out. Walked into the sea up to my knees which was like warm bath water. I wish I was feeling up to swimming. Oh well… very glad to be back in the shade!
Meanwhile this might be a bit of a hot take or sensitive topic or whatever but there are loads of ladies getting about rocking bikinis with and without G-string bikini bottoms who are on the more voluptuous/plus size and I think the confidence is sexy as hell. I don’t know what they’re feeling on the inside but they’re rocking the outside. Might not be for everyone but attitude and confidence in one’s own skin are probably the most attractive traits to me. Get it, ladies.

Oh boy… I haven’t had to do much in the way of talking today and I just tried to sing a little in my cabin. Seems I’ve only got about 80% of my voice! I guess karaoke is off the table… not that I’d go and sing into a mic with COVID anyway. I thought I sounded a bit deep when I spoke to someone earlier.
Here, have a pic of a towel monkey

Last day of ‘work’ before everyone comes back on Monday.
It’ll serve as a reminder for me how much people irritate me.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Same for me. Place has been a ghost town with skeleton staff (spooky) since Christmas, on Monday every annoying prick is gonna be back.

I’ve been working from home and enjoying not being bothered every hour with stupid requests.
Alas that is coming to an end.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
When I’m not working I tend to be a night owl so staying up till 4am doing my thing.
It’s fun, but when you need to readjust it’s a huge pain in the ass…

What’s everyone up to?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Just a standard wild Friday night, reviewing my car insurance and downgrading it to third party. 🤣
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
That is such a humbling experience. A once state of the art vehicle reduced to shitbox. Hugs.

After dinner walk, it’s beautiful out. A proper warm night.

Not a lot. Sunburn recovery, house cleaning ready for guests, and maybe a few drinks once done. BOTH (I tell you) BOTH my local fish & chipperies are closed over January. Should not happen to a dog.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
My local bakery closed over January. How I crave a sausage roll even more now.

On the couch recovering from prepping the laundry for painting and some gardening. I’m knackered!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Tip for painting: wear a shower cap or you could end up with hair tips.

Dishes are done
now I’m going to try moving all my music from itunes into media player
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Media Player is better so I’m told. If you have questions my husband is happy to answer them . Just not tonight. He woke up at 4 and you know 🍺. 😂

Back home after spending the afternoon out, ate the last of my delicious red curry and watching the rest of Silo with the fan on and a nice refreshing glass of coconut water.
Oh my god Juliette is so annoying. And the dialogue/writing is soooo cliché and contrived. Typical YA bullshit. The premise/world is lovely though, the props and set are beautiful. I’ve got the ebooks now though to read after the I finish the show…

Curled awkwardly around the cat, shopping online because my new planner arrived in the wrong size and I need more socks/jocks. Debating finishing a drawing and struggling to concentrate enough to learn new skills. Watching cartoon clips. Waiting on the council to collect my missed bins.
Slowly going out of my mind with the sameness of life and about to chew plaster.

Any news on when Botbot might be back to help us out? Seagoon has been doing a bang-up job keeping us going but Bot certainly takes the pressure off.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Important news: you can order a stubby holder with a picture of your cat on it (or dog/numbat/fav guitar/child) for only $9.90. Just ordered two.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Boss has asked me to come in on Monday. Yaaaay I need the money! Especially after doing all the back to school essentials shopping yesterday. Today we buy uniforms 💸Elder is a temporarily awkward shape, so I have to take him to try them on for size. Those classic grey school tailored type pants look fairly unforgiving and the size guide on the website was hard to interpret. His inseam, waist and hip measurements all suggested different sizes for pants🤦🏻♀️

Morning you lot

The sore throat is still hanging around, it even worsened right after I ordered the groceries so I didn’t get lemon. At least I have some lozenges. Going to take another test today.
Getting frustrated with Crimbo Limbo.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Saw the boyfriend today. He asked me why I didn’t tell him how I felt when I gave him his present because I told him it was fine then but sent a text saying how hurt I was two weeks later. So what I took from that is maybe I should be more open with my emotions in the moment. I did say it is tricky for me to pinpoint how I feel and that the emotions and thoughts don’t come to me until I’ve had some time alone. I think this is something I could work on in therapy. I didn’t think alexithymia was something I struggled with but maybe that is actually the case.
I ended up saying don’t worry about the card (he still hadn’t done it) but discussed a little about our expectations about important dates. Didn’t mention my birthday which is still a few months away (does he even remember when my birthday is lol) but he did bring up Valentine’s Day and said we should go out for it which is cool.
Progress.

My favourite part of January is people joining BJJ and MMA gyms
We had a few newbies at the gym this week and a few young arrogant footy players got a reality check.
Not so much to discourage them, but enough to realise that not all skills are transferable.

Picked a bad day to try demolishing the garden. Am both burnt and boiled. Probably broken tomorrow also.

I came across this article which I thought ok interesting. I have visited all these towns and didn’t find any of them ‘quirky’.

I pulled out about 5 gigantic aganthus plants over the last few weeks and now I want to raize the ground so it never grows back. Of course I can’t do that, so any alternative suggestions? I plan on evening out the ground it was on (possibly with a retaining wall) and grassing it for a play area for my little one but in the team time I want to make sure it doesn’t start growing back.
Does weed killer or whatever work on that stuff?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
It’s a lovely day, think I will hit bunnings and grab some flower seedlings 😊

HOLY SHIT!!!
I had interviewed for another role before xmas just on the off chance because it was a better role, but they said I wasn’t a good fit. The recruiter hounded them for feedback, and it turns out they thought I was overqualified for it and they love me!!! I’ve got an interview with the managing director on Tuesday!!!
FUCK YES!!!

Onya mate!
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 year ago
w00t!
On a side note i fucking hate the ‘overqualified’ excuse. Ffs, you chose to apply for the role, you’re aware of your own capabilities. That ‘overqualified’ crap is based on an assumption that you came begging hat in hand and would fuck off at the first better role leaving them sobbing and bereft - as if they wouldn’t outsource or automate your role in a heartbeat for a 0.0001c increase in profits
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Exactly! They had several chances to gauge that. I swear some companies are run like a kids lemonade stand.
Why waste my time and leave me in the lurch?!?!
Ah well, I’ll leave my thoughts on glassdoor
