Someone from work messaged me asking how to do something, and I don't recognise the name? She told me I showed her the process and I don't recall it at all?

I've been waiting to see what the Victorian Remuneration Tribunal comes up with for the politician's salary increase this year and it is still not released. Cutting it a bit fine as it is supposed to be implimented on 1/7.

I would support it if they decided to just put off deciding until next year and make them lose out on a pay rise altogether this year, and maybe next year too, so they can experience the situation most of the govt. employees are put in every 3-4 years when their EBA is up for review and the employer just refuses to negotiate. I really think the politician's wages should also be capped at whatever their policy for maximum pay rises in the public sector is.

I went to the hipster cafe this morning around 11. It was pretty good! The coffee was alright, but the milk tasted a little funky. I think their only cows milk option was reduced fat or something. Definitely wasn't off though. Cost me $6.50 though :(

I also went to a smoke shop because I saw they had some American chip thing called a taco or something. Kind of like a rolled up Dorito that's spicy. I don't care for them, but I have a friend who loves them so I got her a bag. I noticed that the smoke shop and coffee shop both had super good customer service though, like really good. The smoke shop lady wasn't in one of those prison cage looking things the rest seem to have. She wasn't behind anything really, it kind of looked like an apple shop that sold smokes and yankee lollies. And the bloke at the coffee shop was so upbeat and super nice.

I'm one of those people that's not really affected very much by caffeine, I drink it mostly for the social aspect, or because I feel like a warm drink. And I'm definitely not a buy (or even drink) a coffee every day type, not that I have the money to at 7 bucks a cup anyways.... But I think I will try and go again before I leave, honestly just because it's kind of like a chance to have a little wander and talk to some people.

My area has a nice cafe, too, but people in my area aren't very talkative, so despite my best efforts, the cafe people never do any sort of small talk, and my "hey, how's it going"s are always returned with a "what can I get for you". So it's nicer than one would imagine for people to match my energy

Edit: and the cafe man instantly pegged that I wasn't from here, despite my fake denim and longish hair, so I don't think I quite blend in

well that was fun. knocked off work, I made muffins while His Lordship finished up a call, put them to cool while we wandered up to big pig for brisket, wander home, His Lordship cleans the litter boxes as it's bin night and somehow manages to rip the hot water tap entirely out of the fucking wall.

Good thing I was planning on putting quarter turns in this weekend already.

Listening to the Inception soundtrack while I do stuff , love the movie and love the ost

i've never met anyone irl other than mr seagoon who understands it or even likes it. They are confused or just don't even try.

Is it really that hard to see it's a love story ?

10am service.. finished by 11:15am. Noice. Wasn't anything wrong (as you'd hope with a brand new car) so easy peasy. My first 2 services are free too and that's my favourite price! I had my day almost completely booked out for this but it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Just finished refurbishing a wool hand knitted cable cardi. Replaced all buttons, fixed all loose threads and reset the sleeves. Looks great now. ๐ŸŒž

I spilt coffee on the kids laptop a while ago and is started having issues, mainly it will disconnect from the wifi and you have to restart to connect again. I spent ages trying to fix drivers and reinstalled Mint but it still happens, so it might be a hardware issue.

Should I go to some computer guy to get it cleaned out or is it not worth it for a 10 year old laptop intended for a pair of toddlers?

10 year old laptop? Nah just replace it. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/tag/laptop Ozbargain often have second hand business machines for 200-300.

Edit: like this one $219 for an 8th gen i5 with 16gb of ram and a 12 month warranty is a hell of a deal!
