๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ปlove a bit of Dusty
I love her too! โฅ
Had brunch with friends; haven't done that in ages, and it felt delightful, normal. Came home to everyone in a shirty mood, resentful at me going out without them for once lol. Made my home made nuggies while I did a load of washing and we've just feasted. Now I'm going to have a lay down until it's time to do my MILs eye drops. She had laser treatment on her eyes a few weeks ago and is no good with putting them in, so that's been my little nursey task, same time every day.
I was so pumped from going out last night I stayed awake till 4am. Urgh save me from my own bad decisions lol
Did you bring back a traffic cone?
I'm going to decline my job offer. Something along the lines of... "My listed expected salary was well considered, and perhaps I'm naive but I hoped it would be well considered by management too. Unless you are willing to meet my expected salary then I decline your offer. I did not intend to waste your time. Thank you for your consideration."
"As we have been unable to agree on salary for the position, it is with regret that I will be declining the offer. I'd like to thank everyone involved in the interview for their efforts. Regards Force_maj"
Don't apologise; they also wasted your time; they know what a reasonable salary is and they're assholes for not offering it.
e: reverse the opening line: "It is with regret that I will be declining the offer as we are unable to agree on the appropriate salary for the position."
"notwithstanding aforementioned salary expectations, you're a bunch of tightarses".
My minor sick feeling last night turned into a full cold this morning :/
I'm going to stay in the hotel today
Who's playing the never ending exciting game called housework today?
Ah, bugger. It caught up with me in the end.
Ironically, the likely source was a 97 year old man who probably just thought he had a cold....
omg, ๐น. I was brushing Ted and every time I brushed his back he poked his tongue out.
Have been a bit down and stressed lately, so decided to take bf to do one of the things that makes me oddly happy - watching the container terminal at Sandridge Point.
With the disgusting reality that most dust is just dead skin. Open the vacuum janky-like and you just huffed your own epidermis ๐ญ
So cold and wet, all four of my cheeks are freezing
Best thing about wireless controllers is that they fit into the pocket of my oodie and I can play with the controller and my hands covered and stay nice and warm.
My man is playing all my favourite karaoke songs tonight. Haven't even put the big boys on yet. So much fun. It's a one woman concert.
Cooking up the gravy beef for broth - Melbcat was interested as soon as she saw me cutting the meat up and now she's waiting in the kitchen because she can smell it.
I spy a lump,
A suspicious hump,
The telltale rise and fall
Of a cat curled 'neath all
Of the blankets on the couch.
I pounce to hear a meow
Of a startled puss, how-
-ever disappointed I was:
No cat was there, of course,
He's by the table, crouched.
Massive day playing a tournament for my social sports league. Someone in my team (who I hadnโt played with before) was so full on, correcting people on their technique when they were not playing flash themselves. Of course I want to do well but Iโm there playing mainly for fun and this person was a huge negative presence. As soon as anyone made a mistake she was in their grill with her criticism. Super draining and not the only one who felt that way. If youโre going to take the role of the experienced know it all, then make sure you can talk the talk.
Then we went out after with all the teams for some drinks. Some very icy vibes thrown my way, probably because I started to get frustrated with their behaviour and it may have came out in my tone of voice during game play. Oh well. On my way home and ready for bed.
People like that ruin things that are supposed to be fun, out of some weird misplaced need to be the "alpha" or whatever you want to call it.
It's incredible how 1 person can fuck everyone else's good time.
If someone like that doesn't like you, that's a good thing!
Wife and I decided to go to savers in Footscray today.
Good shop, good deals. But for the love of God....the BO factor was off the chain.
I get it. You're hippies and you're natural...doesn't mean you gotta smell like dirty arse on a warm day.
Bless up and spray some shit, yeah?
I worked very hard today with the aid of one cuppa tea, one instant coffee and two double shot homemade cappuccinos. BOY AM I BUZZIN'!
I'm gonna be pissing all night because I am now on the party bus. Cheers ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ
Paging @Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone what was the name of the poor man's Arabic Rick Martin because we can't remember? Hahaha. Hope you are having a great time.
If you are experiencing aussie.zone bad connections, it's not you, it's them. They are doing maintenance.
Oh boy. Soju is good!!!!!!!. Oh my.
Its that time again - quiz
20/50 not my best effort - some of these I should have known.
The ziplock thing on my Parmesan is b0rked. I give up on today.
Experiment time: Miele vacuum vs Aldi stick vacuum
Question: Will the stick vac pick up anything that Miele didn't?
Apparatus: One 28 year old barrel Miele vacuum with a fresh bag. One fairly new recharged, clean Aldi stick vacuum.
Method: Unlimited time use of the Miele on the carpet. 5 minute use of the stick vac.
Hypothesis: My haphazard use of the stick vac will pick up something compared to the careful manoeuvring of the MOTH with the Miele.
Results: results still pending (the fucking thing is still charging)
Place your bets.
UPDATE Results are in.
Results: That little stick vac did indeed pick up a reasonable amount of fluff.
Conclusion: That trusty Miele has seen some stuff I can tell you but the stick vac whipped it's arse. I agree with @PeelerSheila@aussie.zone when I've caned the shit out of the stick vac the Miele will still keep going which is why it will become a family heirloom passed down to the grand kids/ grand pets and I'll be getting myself a Miele stick vac.
mains power > battery power every time.
Yeah so gotta admit apricot chicken is maybe one better left to historyโฆ that wasโฆ. Not great.
Apparently we could fund our house deposit with an OF channel dedicated to Boyo rubbing himself with bacon. While I consider him sizzling, not sure there is enough market for this.
Peanut butter and bread made, coffee is next!
