Today is my birthday and I’m going through my usual sadness phase about turning a year older. Feelings of total failure are creeping as I wish I would have achieved more by now, going into later 30s. I need to work harder at changing up the things I don’t like about my life. Some days, I feel like I’ve just given up making any meaningful changes.
I’m hoping I feel more positive in the morning. Have rooftop arvo drinks / dinner planned with a few friends which should be nice. Will do a few urgent things for work in the morning, but otherwise I’m taking most of the day off. Working won’t make my day any better, that’s for sure.
Sorry for the late night rant but typing this all out helps.

Love when someone else’s leave becomes your problem. A couple years back my old boss went galivanting around Europe for 2 months and most of her work fell onto me, it was hell.

Motorcycle man strikes again. That’s two 5am wakeups in a row from the starting & revving. It sounds like a chainsaw is going off.
Feeling like crap from lack of sleep but trying to enjoy the day. About to go for banh mi / viet iced coffee and then a swim afterwards.

That Vukic tennis match was absolutely crazy. My nerves are shot. Time for bed.

I was at the tennis last night, watching a five-set match that went until midnight. Great match but I am so exhausted today. Also I made my TV debut apparently, a friend messaged to tell me they saw me on TV. It’s not because I was doing anything noteworthy to be one of the fans they show for a split second between points, but the person next to me was. The camera guy was parked near where I was sitting and couldn’t help himself. I do not consent!

I just dated a file for work “14.10.24”. I have no idea how I came to write this as today’s date, it’s so horribly wrong. I’m still struggling to date 2025 instead of 2024.

You’ll probably have the most leverage that you have now with 2 of 4 in your team remaining, it sounds like they cannot afford to lose you.

I’ve got the tennis on in the background while making dinner and all I hear from the kitchen is loud grunting and yelling.

Skies darkening with thunder. It’s about to go down. A rainy indoor day is just what the doctor ordered too.

Had a lovely day at the beach in Torquay today with some friends. Got some sun and pummelling waves, great dinner afterwards and watched the sunset before driving home. Content but I’m exhausted.

Computers have ruined my handwriting. Scribbling hand written notes while working doesn’t really count in keeping up my penmanship. I do know the pens to use to make my writing look somewhat OK.

Yep I’m pretty sure their patties are smashed like you describe. Good Good Burgers in Maidstone. Let me know if it fits the bill!

Which area in Melbourne? I think there’s a suitable option in inner west which I’ve had a few times. The burgers are “hand pressed”, that’s the same thing right? And there’s a vego option (mushroom) which I’ve never had but it looks good.

Red flag for me - nobody is giving this owner a reality check on actual market value. You are right to move on.

Loved this movie, I’m glad it’s getting the recognition it deserves. In the cinema, it was a full-on watching experience.

I listed what I thought was junk from my recent house cleanout on eBay and I’m getting multiple offers within a couple days.
These people are trying to negotiate the price down, even though the listings are buy now with no ability to make offers, which is annoying. Also eBay fees are quite expensive, so have to take that into account in accepting lower amounts. But I’m happy to be getting some $$ for this stuff.

I was just reading up on the closure of Foodstar in Sunshine (all-you-can-eat restaurant that opened in the 1990s). Growing up in the west, I used to frequent Sunshine Village cinemas which involved walking past this fine establishment. I would always wonder who actually went to eat there, as it looked absolutely terrible. And how it stayed in business so long - it was always mostly empty. A friend who had gone there several times, forced upon for family events, never had anything good to say.
Not too long ago, I looked up the Google reviews with some friends to see if anything had changed, and they are incredible, especially the owner’s responses. And his closure statement does not disappoint. Goodbye Foodstar, we will miss you.

Walked back from the shops in my quest for eggs and I melted under that sun. Doesn’t matter if it’s 25 degrees, direct midday sun in January bites. And good news, I secured the goods.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🌀 Monday, 6 January, 2025 2 weeks ago:
Apparently it’s not possible to buy eggs anymore. I have to go earlier in the day, the fruit / veg shops are better options, at supermarkets they’re gone early in the day.

I’m back inside my place under air con bliss! I was able to get the spare key a little earlier than expected thanks to the parentals being very accommodating, so I didn’t have to wait until 10pm thankfully.

Yeah, I’m at my local council gym/pool which is where I was heading on the way to locking myself out. It’s nice and cool here. I’ll get some dinner after to kill more time.
Lucky I didn’t lock my phone as well! My precious entertainment device haha.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🌃 Sunday, 5 January, 2025 2 weeks ago:
Today was not the day to lock myself out of my house, and I probably won’t get access to the spare key until 10pm. It’s too hot for this. Second time this has happened in 5 years, the timing of this one hurts.

Have to abort my heat hibernation to go to friend kid’s birthday, I really want to stay under my air con.
They have a pool and told us to bring bathers so I will but dunno if I’ll get in. It’s so hot that I might. There will be pizza too.

I need your dad to come to my place and do all my house maintenance chores. I didn’t even know garage doors could be polished, sounds classy.

One of my friends throws a house party every year. He goes to a lot of effort. It’s close to home, only people I like are there, good food (there’s a spit), lots of drinking and dancing. It’s a really good note for bringing in the new year.

They’re been going since boxing day in my hood. Apparently you gotta do multiple test runs for NYE.
