Anti-gratitude thread.

Sleep still shit and the sleep debt is compounding.

The cleaning fairies still haven't appeared and it seems I may have to do more bloody housework.

The agency for which I submitted a FOI Request under Section 39 has not given me a response within 30 days, so that probably means I'll have to go to VCAT—which is something I really don't want to do.

I don't know the deets, but can you try the information commissioner or ombudsman first? The IC is basically just mediation, and there's no obligation for the other party to respond or attend, or to follow the "ruling", but it's a step before court, and might be able to help

Also shit sleep. Garbage trucks doing the rounds woke me up early, then more street noise compared to usual ensured I could not fall back to sleep. About to go for coffee 2 for the day.

Sameee I am so exhausted I think I'll sleep okay tonight though

I can't seem to take untimed naps. I've had 2 in the last week, and i always end up having horribly terrifying dreams. Either gotta cut it before REM starts, or make it a full sleep (which I was kind of hoping for tonight, but that won't fricking happen when I wake up after an hour after having a bad nightmare :/

Oh, and, trying to take a timed nap usually doesn't work either, because I get deadline anxiety and then only drift off when the timer is almost finished
