The face of "turn the fucking music down you woke me up!"

I have 2 offers!!!! Hoping number 3 comes through but probably not.

That's ok though!

Nawww. I got home grown tomatoes from a friend.

To the downvoter. It's cool. It's my parents wedding anniversary today. I promise my loved one surprises me every other day.

Aw, and they're so beautiful too! Like you!

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

Hmm... I should get my wife some flowers. Not today - any day but today.
But, it's been too long since I bought her any.

I regularly travel on busy tram routes with a number of tram options. One thing I've learned is that 90% of people will always board the first tram, even when there are clearly one or two more coming directly after it. This leads to an overcrowded first tram and blissfully empty second and third trams. I consider it an important life lesson. It's generally best to wait for the second or even third tram. Thank you for listening.
Happy Friday 😊

Heading back to melbs today.

Haven't been back since xmas. Gonna be a shock going through the CBD. Always blows my mind down here you only see a few people daily (usually on the foreshore / beach / shops) but people go out of their way to interact. Had more convos with randos down here in the last month than I have in the last 2 years in melbs.

I say bring back the rando convo.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No thanks. I always get stuck with the itchy weirdo rando.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Yup same. For whatever reason the tweakers think I have a "friendly face" 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I hate that shit so much.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah, it's always the oldies, which I don't mind or the desperates.

passed my Azure exam! Also "Mama" is now "Mummy". I'm still "dada" but hes working on it. something like "dada-ey?" I also told him the other day "no chance" of me getting in the sprinkler with him. He goes "Chance!" so we ended up running around the house going "Chance!" "No Chance!" "Chance!" for a while.

Our daughter, our only child, cherished baby girl is out on a date. Don't worry, she's keeping us up to date. Plus I have life 360. I know exactly where she is.🥺

Happy Laneway day everyone! Time for one too many beers and eating far too much food. And there may be music on in the background.

I’m off to the fish and chip shop.

Would anyone like a dimmy? Potato cake? Eldritch tentacled god in batter?

Ok so still waiting on Toshiba, software company called and I'm calling back.

And I've emailed the 3rd place to get an answer.

The 3rd place is the one I really want, but I don't think I'm getting it.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

getting the f outta dodge should be the top priority. And whatever way that takes without having to whore yourself out or sell bags sounds a shit load better than when you are now tbh.

just picked up 6kg of angus sausages from the local butcher for the weekend party.

There were crowds. Horrified stares. Three people decided to come back later. They just kept coming. Sausage on sausage on sausage.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I read that as 'anus' sausages and had questions.

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That is one end of a sausage casing, yes

On my second coffee but all I have succeeded in doing is adding a heightened layer of anxiety over the overwhelm. I have so much to do I can't find a place to start 😭😔

But haircut after work. New colour I think...dunno what yet...

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm so thankful for the cooler conditions for the next week. I've got shit to do and it helps immensely.

Still no joy convincing the mrs on the camper trailer/poptop/campervan/whatever you want to call it. She wants to think about it more. her primary concern is we wont use it enough, but its real hard to convince her shes wrong when the campervan would make it all so much easier to actually do it more frequently. chicken and egg. We dont do it often cause its hard so we dont wanna spend money to make it easier.

Found a couple worth checking out. But the flipside is I found tons of places I want to go assuming we get one.

Our Caffeine , who art heavenly , hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily coffee. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us into temptation; and deliver us a triple shot cappuccino.

I'm drinking piña coladas
While watching exposés
Of speedrunning cheaters
Breaking rules of the games
And it's narrated by an Aussie
But from Queensland they are
But they're actually quite funny
So I'll forgive that faux pas

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (11 children)

You broke the ruuules, so I'll pull out all your pubic haaaaaiiiirrrrrrrr

I’m at work and now people are looking at me funny

Blah. Set myself up in a room and someone’s taken my spot and I’ve had to move again to have some time and coffee to myself.

Not ideal start.

Stuff cooking. I hear some fish & chips calling my name.

I small fisherman's basket later ... damn it just hits the spot tonight.

I’m feeling for the people who went Laneway, they would be getting soaked right now.
