Retreating to bed cause it’s fucking freezing. Fortunately got the electric blanket on in preparation so beds nice and warm at least. Reckon I’ll leave the electric towel rail on tonight too just so don’t freeze my junk off when I get up at 6am.
Got a survey call today. It's the first in a long time becausebmy phone usually filters them for me.
I've received some weird emails recently too. I bet it was that damn property expo I registered for
Trying to be kind about an email from a friend, where they have linked me a seek job posting for... A sales rep.
When they know I'm changing careers and have spoken to them about it. That I won't be going back to call centre shite.
Ehhhhhhhhh. EHHHHHHHHHHH
So, Planet Ark are trying to register an account to join aussie.zone. I would normally have rejected their application, as they are giving the vibe of 'we want to spam'. So, I reached out to them on their contact form. I thought it possible they had a google analytics alert and noticed us discussing their products recently.
But, that was longer ago than I realised: It feels like we talked about that a few weeks ago. So now I'm back to thinking they want to spam. Gah!
I want answers, but I don't want ads. I suppose I'll wait to see if/how they respond to my website query.
Update:
Hi Nath,
No, that email address does not belong to us.
Thanks for checking!
Such beautiful weather out today! I wish I wasn't stuck in an office for most of it. Tonight is gonna be froooosty, I'm STOKED that I can roll outta bed late tomorrow. Have a meeting on campus at 2, plan is to try and finish all my work off by noon and quietly clock off after that. Would love to have a stroll round campus after if tomorrow's as beautifully sunny as today.
Fucking called it!!! Sit down for for dinner last night and the mrs goes "what we we doing this weekend?" "not much, why?" "Well, I got a message from (Couple I complained about yesterday) wondering if we.." "nope! heck no we're not doing that. Whatever it is, its a no from me." She stares at me a few seconds "Why?" "We talked about this last weekend babe, we are NOT getting pulled into this shit! the other day was exhausting, i need some space from them"
She goes on to admit the message was very strange and almost like we didn't have a choice in the matter. I pointed out as adults we very much do have a choice. I so saw this coming, I may not have understood it but I was apprehensive enough to bring it up yesterday I must've had a 6th sense.
Got done by a lemon tree thorn a few days ago. Tiny little prick but it's really puffed up. Headed over to Dr. google and learnt a new word:
Phytophotodermatitis, where when you get done, then expose it to UVA it flares up. Most common from lemon trees apparently.
Little fucker packs a punch. I had no idea.
I will wear gloves next time.
Why am I so tired today??
You ever wonder if you're just tired a lot or if you're actually Stage 3 something or other and just haven't gone to the doctor? I think I might have hypochondria.
Well, 11.5 degrees looks to be as warm as I'm getting today. I'm off to have a stroll around the neighbourhood with Mr Woof.
and today on "searches that will get me on a list"
Moorabbin was once renowned for its springs. I am randomly trying to find where they were. Unfortunately I am surrounded by goddamn car repair shops so guess what fucking comes up when you search "Moorabbin springs" so now I'm digging at hydrogeological data for the entire port phillip bay area to find the aquifers....
a; Noooo, nooo , do not send.
b; Send sir? The money is now sent.
a; You motherfucker
I love Kitboga 🤣🤣🤣
I washed the woolen underlay I use as a dog blanket a couple of weeks ago and hung it outside to dry. I missed taking it in before rain hit so it had to stay out longer. Now I have a magpie coming in regularly to collect nesting material from it, so I guess it has to stay there now.
it's sunny here so it's off to the park to catch some rays
Gratitude thread!
Booked in for five hours of karaoke last night. I think in the last hour, I sang one song. But it was really nice to spend time with friends who I can be myself around and have fun with :) they accept my weirdness!
(Is that not the point of friendship? Some people I feel like I have to mask around more than others)
I'm also grateful for reading the responses to these threads! :)
I just picked up an overtime shift and my inner accountant is thrilled. The rest of me is not so pleased with the addition of another early morning wakeup to my week ☹️
I've been listening to Chappell Roans album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and I'm in love.
lovey mushy goo goo shite
My partner came home from work last night and started playing Stellaris while listening to the album as well. He said we should go see her if she comes to Aus. He says one of the reasons he loves me is that I never judge him for liking Pop music, and I sing along with him to Call Me Maybe lol. He knows the lyrics better than I do.
I love my Pop Boi.
was reading the US papers and this is the name of a judge
Ural Glanville? aka Russian knobtown 🫠
You just can't make this stuff up
I go for the pre training review thingy today. They sent me the link yesterday and reiterated I had to fill out the LLN assessment prior to the PTR, so i wrote back to ask if they'd received my assessment, and they never replied which is always a good sign.
I feel like this is a bit of a pivotal moment for me, and this is about the point I'd start making saves if this were a game...
In other news, I was finally able to go watch that bad men movie on Sunday (3rd time's the charm, I guess). I enjoyed it, even though I never saw the other one(s? I think it's a trilogy). I pieced enough of it together to still enjoy myself.
Edit: it didn't really go anywhere. Apparently being in high school I need a letter before I can start the course, even though I'm apparently old enough to just decide I want to leave. And of course it's now school holidays so I can't get it until the 12th, 4 days before my course starts....
Hi all. If you pay for Parcel Post online but don't have a printer, can you go to the PO and get them to print it out for you?
Done the last of the repotting and prepared 3 big pots for jalapeno seedlings. Sewed up the outdoor toy penguin and put it out. Done daiso shopping, bought gloves, no one had fingerless gloves so imma just cut the fingers off myself. Got all the sewing haberdashery I need to do some french embroidery on my jumper. All the tapestry fabric for recovering the chairs is cut out and ready. Pizza is being done. Cats are brushed and fed.
I refuse to listen to the news, the whining from the dems is driving me crazy. Just fricking use power and do something.
I know they get a lot of hate, but I actually like the new short Coles paper bags. They have about the same effective carrying capacity (unless you are buying something really light like a bulk purchase of marshmallows) but are much less likely to end up torn. They also seem more stable, things don't end up rolling around inside the bag as much. The larger bags almost always ended up torn during delivery when they had cans of cat food and similar in them, it hasn't happened once with the shorter ones.
