Anti-gratitude thread

Fell asleep super late last night listening to a podcast. The podcast was good but I slept too late. It was called You Probably Think This Story's About You.

Also, despite putting on a sleep timer, I end up extending the listening beyond that without setting another one, and before you know it, I've listened to two other podcasts in my sleep.

Annoyed that I can't live on a diet of potato cakes and chocolate. Boo for adulting.

Stupid tastebuds, can't trust them at all.

Can I add Fried South Melbourne market dim sims in there? Surely that covers all the basic food groups.

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bit low on vitamin C, so you'll need to add chilli sauce of some sort to make them a complete food.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago

There's cabbage in them. That's good enough.

Two on my shit list today:

  • Yellowstone alarmists/conspiracy theorists. There was a small hydrothermal explosion which is not a sign of imminent eruption.
  • People being weird about Breaking (aka breakdancing) being in the Olympics. How different is it, in principle, to rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, figure skating etc.? In fact, it's literally more directly competitive -- it's a 1:1 dance-off!

I'm looking forward to the break dancing. Something a bit different.

[–] Pilk@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Me too! Though the time zone difference definitely sucks for watching live.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah. That's gonna be a challenge.

I'll move mine here since my thread failed.

I feel unmotivated today even though I slept early.

I've eaten too much not so nice cake already and I spilt coffee grind all over the table and floor at work and it was so hellish to clean up.

Also failing at doing an Anti Gratitude thread today.

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sorry I didn't see the thread you made :((

Wanna make it tomorrow?

Was the coffee good?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Not really, no one was using mine anyway.

Coffee was just instant so nothing special but still a nightmare to clean.

Sammi got the zoomies at 4ish and then demanded food when I got up to go to the loo, then hurled it up again so I had to get up and clean it up. So no chance of getting back to sleep on a day when I had an early start, whereas last week I only had one job in the afternoon so I could have at least gone back to sleep.
Also they both decided a few days back that they wanted Human Food Thank You but are now being fussy about it, so now it's like that "Mother... Provide" cartoon.

I have a 6am start for an overtime shift tomorrow so won't be able to sleep in. And I have one Sunday morning too ☹️
