    My parents get a guide dog puppy to foster today. I am resigned to the fact I will no longer be the favourite child

    source
    • bacon@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      be glad this is not a case where failed foster is allowed

      they will remember you when puppy gets a job

      • Alamutjones@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        We DID actually have a failed guide dog as a pet when I was growing up. Wonderful dog, just didn’t like goats

    I gotta new swimming pool in my yard just in time for summer. 😎

  • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The most frustrating thing about working in this small call centre is when people don’t take their breaks on time.

    I am on the late shift (10am - 6pm) and when they don’t take their breaks/lunch on time, it ends up pushing my breaks/lunch out later and later. And I can’t go first because “eVeRyOnE sHoUlD gO iN oRdEr”

    Went to get a coffee only wearing slippers because drive through. Step on the wet smooth concrete of the carport and slide a meter launching my phone out of my hands in the process. Both myself and the phone are physically fine, just a bruised ego.

    • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Oh that moment of slide when you know what’s happening but can’t stop it. Hate that!

      source

      Happy you are fine, those slides can be quite dangerous

    This covid shit is no fkn joke, it’s absolutely gutted me, its kind of scary. The fatigue is also something I’ve never felt before, I’m awake for 30mins tops, and then I’m out again until I wake myself from sweating through everything.

      Keep smashing the waters! Dont wanna get dehydrated cause that takes it from a bad time to a worse time.

      Yeah, I feel ya. That virus knocked me about for six days. I rarely get sick, so it was a true eye-opener!

      source
    • bull@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah that fever is a bastard. I hope it passes soon for you. I was taking pseudoephedrine and mersynofen every 4 hours (which I’ve sadly run out of, I might head to the medical centre for more now) and I’ve been sleeping as much as I can.

      source
    • dumblederp@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Have you got plenty of paracetamol for the fever? Do you have anyone to help you if things get dire? Even just a slab of Aldi gatorade kind of help?

      source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I think this latest strain is hitting people harder than anticipated.

      Hope you get plenty of rest and feel better soon.

      Hang in there.

    Work phoned: “I know you don’t work Monday, but could you do one job today?”.
    Ha ha ha no way

      When I get called like that, it’s a minimum of four hours. I don’t get called.

    200~ emails. Half a dozen teams messages. Could have been a lot worse!

    Absolutely shocking humidity. It’s that real sickly kind of humidity you get during monsoon in South East Asia. Having flashbacks to my last trip Vietnam.

    source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah it’s making me feel unwell

      source
    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I went to Vietnam in the middle of winter, so went from the cold weather here to stepping off the plane in Hanoi to 40+ humid degrees. It was about 5 days of 40+ temperatures before it finally rained. Absolutely brutal.

      source
      • wscholermann@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I think I went in maybe late July? So it was pretty wet but I didn’t cop 40 degree days. I guess that’s why it feels like a throwback to that time.

    Boss called me in to start work a couple of days earlier than I expected, and I’m destitute enough to be pretty glad of it. Turns out he’s got an injury so he needed me to do all of the hard yakka that he usually does 💪 It was good to do a bit of lifting and carting things around. I was born in the year of the ox, and it seems to influence my life in odd ways!

    I was just on the road for a bit.

    Bit of flooding on the roads so be armful out there and I happened to park my car in a small patch of a lake that expanded under a significant area of the car park.

    Lucky I wear boots.

    I want to grow some herbs. Obviously not to today. Chives, basil you know the easy shit but I’m worried about animals urinating on things I’m gonna eat. So here’s my idea. I have a portacot, if I put herbs in there and put a shade cloth of the top, it should work right? I can even put wheels on it. Where would the best place to put it? Shade or full sun?

    source
    • 00Steve@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeh just wash everything you eat and it really shouldnt be an issue. We do a bit of foraging locally and just make sure everything gets a good wash

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That seems like a good idea. Thank you.

        source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I would grow them indoors on a window sill. Truly the thought of animal pee has never occurred to me, I wash all food I grow anyway, including fruit from the trees.

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        My window sills get the afternoon sun. Would that be a problem for chives?

    I had left over béchamel sauce from making lasagne. I’ve found out that I should have put it on the lasagne, I didn’t put enough on. Mistakes made, lessons learned.

    And the lawns are all going to need mowing again

    Seems like it’s a once a week job this spring and summer (takes hours, lots of lawn)

    Hmm I found a bag of chocolate I forgot about.

    Best by dates from 2012. Afraid to open then.

    Toss?

    So I turned the Aircon off for a couple of hours where it felt like for a brief period things had cooled down a bit. Unfortunately the crippling humidity has returned and a/c is back on.

    I really hope it doesn’t feel like the deep south tomorrow but with the sun coming out and everything so soggy I can’t see it being pleasant.
