Melbourne

I forgot to mention, they are paying for 2 monitors, a dock and a keyboard and mouse and will have them couriered to my house so I can work from home.

That's fucking crazy lol

Enjoy your day everyone ❤️

Had one of the worst days of my life yesterday.

But I have TAFE tomorrow, I can do this.

Got assigned my first client today! Also a title change. Now service delivery manager. Fancy title same job as before.

Otherwise there's a lot to take in! It's only day 2 so expectations aren't high, but still. I want to be picking this all up quickly so I can to the actual job.

I’m sorry to have concerned anyone yesterday.

In a tentative sign that I might finally be kicking this stupid cold/flu/whatever, I just had to stop work and make emergency pikelets. I haven't felt like eating anything for a week so this is good.

..my garmin watch did give me a heartrate warning while I was doing it so I think a couple more days on go slow is a good idea

Enough with the wind already, I'm sleepin' here! I'M SLEEPIN' HEEYA!

Bloody AusPost left my parcel up a fucking tree.

Yay: I didn't lose my expensive but very good fingerless gloves, they're at the doctor's!

Nay: now I have to drive there and back. Meh. At least I'm not as incapacitated as the last two days. I really need those gloves though!

Also, reading that thread on the escaped cow in South Yarra on the other site, I have had that song in my head all morning. We will fight for, bovine freedom...

The new sewing machine inspired me to finish a simple job I've been putting off for ages - I have sewn a zipper into a cardigan my Mum knitted for me ages ago. The machine sews beautifully, I'm very pleased with it.

Sky pretty.

Seeing Deadpool & Wolverine tonight in the first preview screening woooo letsgoooooooooooo

I've avoided all trailers since the first teaser so I'm looking forward to being surprised

I mentioned earlier that I had a video of myself play Beat Saber.

I’ve uploaded it if you want to have a look.

Song is Believer from Imagine Dragons

This was done some time ago. I really need to get back into it as it’s lots of fun.

I feel like I'm stuck in waiting mode in life right now. Next year is very up in the air - if I get a job, will I be able to return to study? Etc.

Trying to focus on the present.

Blargh. This is not the hour for cleaning of the cat trays. But my brain is dumb.

ta da, got the last 50 tacks out of the chair seat frame, special gloves helped 👍 🤗

Pakige was not at my local post office. I didn't even look before I drove there, but it was actually at a business centre so I had an impromptu drive to Bayswater to collect it. While I was out I took the opportunity to top up the petrol tank at a station which is still at 177c instead of 219c which most of them have jumped to.

Pakige was worth the drive - I now have a new-to-me sewing machine. It appears to be barely used and in full working order, including the all important automatic needle threading which I really struggle to do myself now that my eyesight is getting dodgy.

Soooo still haven't heard back..... Beginning to feel uncomfortable

Here's a new one.

Bought a pizza from leos in kew and it had a bolt in it.

Very lucky I didn't bite down too hard.

Don't really care if it's a hair, or half a rat but a bolt would be an expensive fix if that went wrong.

anyone else get a kick out of doing random tasks without their partner knowing and then seeing how long it takes them to notice? (if at all). Usually bigger jobs have to be scheduled between us with the toddler and all, but today I used my lunch break to do the lawn and i'm giddy with the prospect of her looking at it like a weeks time and going "wait.... when the heck do you do that?!"

anyone else getting vibes of summer out there? dont get me wrong, Im still in a hoodie with the heater on, but something about the light or the atmosphere has shifted in the last couple of days.

Pet dilemma. I've bought 2 new cat trees online, because 3 cats/1 tree not good. One is ready for pick up and it's for the youngest flufflebum. He likes to sit in the area between the kitchen and the dining table so he can watch me and speak snugs in. Its a small hut thing with a bed up on a platform. Do I set it up now or wait until the second one arrives for the spicy cat so it's equal? Edit: the ginger fluff has claimed his bed. The troll under the bridge is unhappy, but hers is bigger and hopefully not far away.

why is it I cannot purchase clawed feet to put on my furniture as I wish. Surely mankind has progressed to this point.

Reasons why I stay when I despise my manager. Related job posted today: 6 grand less, talking to public, oversee whole other branch of stuff, look after kids… and have a qualification that does not teach the most relevant skill. Fuck off.

o washing day o washing day, I'm washing all the clothesies

Goodnight everyone ❤️

Good morning and thank you to Dumble for today's thread. 😺

I had a dream where I got picked up in car with a kangaroo in it. I sat in the passenger seat but because I was sitting in it's seat it had to sit on the driver's lap (it was the driver's pet) it's legs were spilling onto my side. I asked if I could move the roos leg because it was digging into my ribs. The kangaroo hissed at me.

When we got to where we were meant to, they were giving away some cool stuff like electronics and collectables and there wasn't much stuff left but someone had kept me a Snoopy dog mat.

Had a dream last night that my dog's "battery cover" fell off and the batteries felt out of him. This morning as I woke up, I asked my mum where the batteries were and she was like 🫨

i’ve had multiple people telling me i have an australian accent

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.
