Too much for KK but no price is too great for the GF

Do they make those for less than $25? I still have girlfriends and whatnot to buy for

Ordered a bunch of sensor lights of aliexpress for Kris kringle this year.
I was thinking of getting one of those microwavable heat packs to watch all the women of a certain age fight over it, but a lot of those women have left now

No, it was a half hour wait, but they said it would be 2 minutes at the start of the call

I think I’ve got it sorted now. Just need to find my corporate key so I can get my invoices actually emailed to me. Had the longest 2 minute hold of my life, good thing I did it during work.

I need to call ASIC in the next couple of days. Turns out the business was created an exact year earlier than the kids, so the two (three? since the kids are twins) entities share a birthday.
For the last couple of years I’ve gotten the first reminder letter from ASIC where they bump up the price for registration. And I’m like, ‘excuse me? I never received the first notice?’ So I need to call and figure out how this shit works.

If you were awake the whole day then it’s dinner. If you slept and woke up it’s breakfast. It’s called breakfast because you’re Breaking the Fast from being asleep

The decision on the management situation at work has been decided. My manager will now be someone based overseas with a lot more on their plate than previously. My current manager is hoping for redeployment so we’ll have to see what happens there too.

I avoided any possible disasters plugging the new PC into the TV by thinking of the worst possible outcome and having this conversation in my head:
“Man, that bottom dust cover is so slippery. I can’t believe I dropped the new PC because it slipped off in my hand.”
“Then why didn’t you take the dust cover off, put it down, then put the dust cover back on?”
“Oh, I didn’t think of that.”
And that’s how I DID think of that and avoid any disasters. Is there a word for this type of mental technique or is it just common sense?

OS install on the new PC went well enough. I was worried I borked something in the process because I’d just get a black screen on boot, but that was either my monitor or the joy of using HDMI. Unplugging and plugging the cable back in fixed it.
The other thing was i didn’t install the OS properly the first time. The computer didn’t know to boot from its own storage. The instructions there weren’t very clear. Second time around after the black screen issues got that sorted

Whittlesea Show this weekend if we can be bothered. I think it’s meant to rain today so we’ll see if we get there

I forgot to mention, our IT team (previously referred to as IS) has changed its name to the DBT team. Please refer to them correctly in all communications or report to the carpark for an immediate public execution

As long as it’s not too bright, a navy blue suit and salmon shirt is a good combination. Take it as a sign people are going to see actual menswear specialists and not just buying shit off the rack at Tarocash or Connor

We’ve already had a lot of fun mistaking cheese for petrol, even if the kids don’t fully know what petrol is

I’m very proud of how I got my kids obsessed with Cheezoid from that Mitchell and Web Look skit. The girlfriend isn’t too happy about it but there are much worse things on the internet they could be watching

It seems water or some other liquid is precipitating from the sky. Are others experiencing this?

I realised you just have to unlock everything even if you have preferred characters so you can further improve your build. It’s just fun running the numbers and becoming unstoppable.
I picked one up called Vital Shell where you control a gundam and it looks like a Dreamcast/PS1 game. I also figure they’ll be good games for my kids to start with because they just have to talk around and not get hit.

Goddamnit, my girlfriend has started playing Vampire Survivors again, which means I’ve started playing Vampire Survivors again. We mostly just played it coop together so I never went deeper than basic builds and the first forest map. Now I’m trying to unlock stuff and figuring out what combos together. Sure, it’s all up on a wiki somewhere but what’s the point of playing if you’re just going to read about it?

The wallet’s much lighter and i convinced myself it was the way to go because it was cheaper per terrabyte to go that way

Looked under one of the beds in this place retrieving a bouncy ball and it turns out the slats were completely snapped in the middle.
Checked our bed and they’re snapped on one side and one on the other. This is mostly because these are the cheapest beds you can find.
Remind me if I ever become an AirBnB landlord to over spend on the master bed. The terrible sleep here has put this place in the ‘never again’ pile. You’d get so much return business if you bought a nice frame and the nicest mattress you could. But landlords never think that longterm despite being such a longterm asset

Booked a nice little flat up in Albury to go visit my grandfather, but the mattress is absolutely awful. Even is you’re a typical cheap landlord, you’d think a good bed is the one thing you’d spend a little money on
