In 2016 I went to the Grand Final. My team was playing for the first time in the GF since I’d been alive but I wasn’t a member, basically impossible for general public to get a ticket. I saw a ticket advertised for sale at like 1pm on the day on a fan group on Facebook. It was about 20% more than the cost price. In hindsight, most people probably thought it was a fake but it was a physical ticket and paying in person, I thought that seemed safe. Got to my seat around midway through the first quarter, so missed all the pre-game stuff. But then my team won and it was just such an incredible atmosphere and great day. I won’t forget it.

I went to Slowpoke in Collingwood. Nice view, great vibe, it will pop off in summer. Cocktails were delicious and only two food items on a menu, a cheeseburger and hash brown fries. The burger was so so good. I recommend!

Had a very interesting discussion today with some person referred to me who is trying to undercut my business pricing by more than 50%. Saying some other business gave them a significantly cheaper quote, but conveniently couldn’t name who they were. Are you getting a like-for-like service? Are you getting the same expertise? It’s not just about the $$ - cheap price means cheap, corner-cutting service and cheap outcomes. I was smelling bullshit anyway.

Today was a shit day - mood low, irritated very easily, stressed out and felt like an anxious mess all day. Putting intentions out there for tomorrow to be a better day.
Catching up with a friend tomorrow night at a bar I’ve been wanting to try out, I think I will be indulging in a cocktail or two.

I feel you need a specialist degree just to understand a gas bill these days. Complicated calculations, estimated readings and adjustments, how is the average consumer expected to understand if they’re being charged correctly? Just had a call with my old provider which has made my head hurt trying to understand.

I know those types of stubborn people too. There’s lots of parking garages in Carlton then easy tram in. Should be able to cheap weekend rates too.

I wouldn’t drive in the CBD on GF day, is PT an option? Parking northern CBD works if you don’t need to drive through the CBD. But expect time limits for street parking.

Blood test results came back after a fair few years since my last one - no deficiencies, no other issues at all. Clean bill of health! So I will be cheers’ing to that tonight.

My place has 8 jizz trees in the garden - four in backyard, four in front yard. Someone was obsessed. The front one’s are starting to jizz up now and they’re extra smelly.

Made an early start on my mountain of work as I woke up earlier than usual (probably due to stress about said mountain of work) and couldn’t get back to sleep. I’m already so tired ready to call it a day. Think a second coffee is in order.

Torrential sideways rain at my place, like from a summer storm.

I mean it’s a big thing to reach out like that, a lot of lesser people would not do that. It sounds like you’ve both changed for the better over time so maybe it’s worth meeting to see how you feel?

I’m doing surprisingly ok given the amount of alcohol I had last night coupled with lack of sleep. Also productive despite the late start. But I have dinner with some friends tonight and they’ll all be drinking and there’s no way I’ll be able to stomach round 2. Water for me.

My DiDi driver is playing a very strange chant-type song in a different language, something I might hear in a yoga class, and I think it’s just the same song on repeat. This is not the Friday night party starter I wanted, getting put to sleep.

Same, and judging people who spend more time flexing / looking at themselves than you know, doing actual exercise.

Why birds gotta be so loud at 5:30am? Nature’s alarm has been getting to me this week.

My presentation went so well! Got really great feedback from the people who attended, small group but all really engaged. Hopefully I get some new clients out of it.
I catered too and ordered waaaay too much food. I’ll be eating sushi and sashimi for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next few days.

This is why I take PT after 9am on days I go to the office. By then it’s mainly uni students on the train and much quieter. I’m not an early morning person so going after the morning rush works better for me. Same with driving in, I leave 9am once school has started. Leaving between 7:30am and 9am adds 10 to 15 mins to the trip.

Why are the children relevant? Why is the property at 21 relevant? Honestly a completely tone deaf thing to send to a candidate.

Teen comes up behind me in gym. I turn around. He says nothing, just gestures with his hands. I knew what he was asking but I said “sorry, are there any words?”. I’m not hurrying up if you can’t be bothered to ask nicely how long I have left on a machine.
Being in this place gives me an interesting insight into Gen Z manners. They said millennials were entitled….

I’m giving a presentation at co-working tomorrow for businesses in the building. I was expecting little to no interest, the room fits about 10 to 12 people and 9 people have already sent a RSVP. Working on my slides at the moment. I’m excited but also quite nervous, been a while since I’ve done presenting like this! If it goes well I’ll be rolling this out at other locations, so hopefully I’m not a nervous wreck tomorrow.

My backyard jizz trees are in full bloom and extra stanky today when the wind blows the right way. So many bees buzzing around too.

Roasted potato has to be on top, but hot chips (not shoestring, proper hot chips) and potato chips are very close behind.

That looks so good, I would be digging into that right away if I saw it at a bday event.

If a stranger is being / sounding rude, do you match their rudeness in return or try to kill them with kindness? I’ve had two such encounters over the past few days, tried both approaches and felt unsatisfied each times.

Do you think being able to play other instruments helps with learning new ones quickly? I was learning piano for about a year but I found it pretty difficult, never seemed to click with me.

My co-working has these taps, one of the main reasons I signed up. It’s a simple thing but feels like a luxury at the same time. They’ve also got taps for cold and tepid water too, something for everyone.
