how's your week going, Beehaw
  • So I am leaving my job and this is my last week. I am 2nd in charge, but my manager has taken this week off. So I am acting manager for this last week and did not get a handover for the work. So I am spending my last week trying to manage it all and catch up of the work that was left hanging as well as my own. I also catch 3 trains to get to work over an hour away (one of the reasons for leaving) and today my train was delayed mid way for an hour because the police needed to remove a passenger. I also had to submit a 32 page report to exit a staff member who has literally been getting paid to do criminally negligent work. I'm tired. But my staff are great. I am at a train station now and I miss my dog.

  • How did indigenous people survive hurricanes in the carribean
  • I think in a lot of cases they would have been looking out for the signs of one coming and moved to higher/safer areas. They would have passed around knowledge on how to cope, and especially focus on survival and rebuilding later on. I wish I knew more. But I don't think they cared as much for the destruction of their structures as they would for moving the community elsewhere to survive the storm and rebuild.

  • What's good in small concentrations, but lethal in higher? What's a glaring red flag you're encroaching on a lethal concentration?
  • My medication. Lithium in small exactly precise doses according to each individual is helpful. But we have to take blood tests to check the toxicity.

    We have to stay hydrated and be really careful if we are sick or vomiting

    A warning signs is shaking (I tests my hands regularly), nausea and outcome is dying. Ha.

  • Do you still write notes with pen and paper?
  • Yes, I do.

    I enjoy handwriting and it is much faster for me. I like to have a couple of different coloured pens and have it organised. Usually I just end up with a scribbled mess but that is okay. At least only I can read it. If I need to I will type it up afterwards - I love typing as well.

  • Pet owners with talkative pets, what will they talk about?
  • Rooahroo opera singing mostly, which means "You're home you're home you came hooome muuuuuuuum!" And further rooarraows which means in a singsong voice "A WALK a WALK we are going a walk!" Soft aroos mean "I love you" Various tones of low roo sounds mean she needs me to notice something, to warn me about something, or wants me to open a door or is not feeling well.

    Other talking includes letting me know about the other dogs around us and whether or not they are safe and friendly. We have big conversations about this. There's also "I'm sleepy, I'm doing a big yawn mum look" There's the obvious danger growl. Sometimes she'll tell me about how comfortable she is, or will soon be. We properly talk and have conversations, she is very good at expressing herself. Or I understand her well. Both.

  • Making friends in adulthood
  • It can be a lot more difficult to develop and maintain good friendships as an adult. You really need a longstanding topic to bond over. When you are younger you have education and daily interaction to bring you together.

    I've found that to build friendships you really need to do something, enjoy something together and do it with some regularity. This is why joining a group where there is already a joint focus is recommended.

    It is a bit of putting yourself out there and it can feel really lonely, I know.

  • Long straight flying object

    Hi everyone I was walking home in Melbourne, Australia tonight, minding my own business when I went to look up at the stars. Instead I saw something horrifying.

    It was like a very long rigidly straight line of lights, flying overhead at a decent speed. For context it was not very far away, no where like the height of a plane. More like looking up at the top of the tallest skyscraper in an average city. This thing was very long, like a train, and was way way bigger than a plane. The line of lights were so close I could see the individual outlines, and were like the straight lines windows of a plane but directly underneath and far too many.

    It moved fast and completely silently. It was scary.

    I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about these types of UAPs, I've never heard of something like this.

    And I'm sorry, I did take a photo which I thought looked clear and focused at the time but when I checked it later it is a mix of strange blurry lights taking up the whole screen. Not sure what happened there.

    What do you guys think? I'm honestly a bit freaked out even talking about it.
