In bed before 10.30pm… What is this sorcery?!
Work has ceased for the day. I'm all congested, struggling to breathe, and whistling through the nose and I do not like this one bit.
Okay here's hoping this works - federation from kbin wasn't great yesterday but I can see the new DT today so I should be able to keep up with the regulars again now.
Does the web app occasionally just judder for anyone else? Like the text randomly vibrates up and down slightly. It’s only happened a few times. But very disconcerting like I’m having a stroke or something. I’m on iOS using safari.
G.Love & Special Sauce are playing the corner....! Rad

I'm really happy with my job starting at 10:30, it's really weird going from no job to suddenly full time work. So starting at 10:30 also helps my Delayed Circadian Rhythm sort of... get used to waking up so early. Not excited for when we start at 9, I just wish I could do half work from home half go in the office, but it's not so bad because it's in the same suburb as me.
Is there a way to have comment threads automatically sort by new? TIA.
Why do no delivery companies seem to respect "signature required" and "no authority to leave"? What's the point of asking if they're just going to leave my shit in front of the door anyway?
Fuck. me. Mrs car has had its error code cleared and surprise surprise it’s driving fine again. This is the 3rd random incident in 6 months. And we only had it 6 months! I think it’s time to piss it off. #
Walked past the Australian Red Cross opshop in Bridge road during lunchtime - They're doing a sale of jeans for "from $5". Which is a huge discount on their regular prices. Their stock is good but comparatively exxy imo.
