late coffee poemLate night coffee, how very European
Though they may not have meant at 1am
You only live once, and it may be quite short
So indulge, treat yourself, this isn't all for naught.

If you are a fan of eating the candy Fantales, I would recommend stocking up now as the company will be discontinuing it. I’m seeing… while stock lasts

I recently bought a fancy rice cooker (upgraded from the trusty cheapo kmart one button one), and this one has a smaller cup capacity (3c instead of 6 or 10) which is perfect for 2 people who don't need huge quantities of rice. Plus it made amazing rice, including brown rice which I've never managed to cook well before! Very happy hehe

I'm confused, please can someone explain? So the Reddit DT is up again and some of the regs are posting there (and some here also). There's also Florida things. What's happening? Are we staying here or migrating back? Argh!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

I'm staying here for the time being because that shit over there is not over.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Mods are in protest of reddit forcing them to reopen by changing the rules of the sub to be about Melbourne Florida. A lot of other subs have done the same, but the r Melbourne mods havnt gone about it in the best way.

My work schedule has changed from 10:30 starts to 11am starts. But I still have to wake up early today so I can go to Vicroads and my jobseeker. Ugh.

This reddit limbo land is quite irritating.

[–] bull@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

We probably have a cream for that somewhere around here. If irritation persists, please seek the assistance of a medical professional.

Had a persistent tickly cough for weeks so I've been trying to get a lot of sleep, today woke up from the worst nightmare, woke up crying and I'm still a little shaky. Fuck you terrorists. 😭

Ahhh yeah, tea has kicked in. The only thing I don’t love about tea is how long it takes to hit. Unlike coffee which is heaps faster!

I was extremely disorganised with dinner prep which means I'm having a third of a leftover chicken thigh and some stir fry veg for dinner. Man I don't even remember when this chicken was from lol.

Time to get Mr Woof's walk over with. 5 degrees, feels like 2.6 🥶

I have discovered the secret to getting through a full workday in the office without feeling like a nap. Please don't do the maths on how much sugar I had today...

  1. Energy drink (Kiwi Mother in this case) for breakfast
  2. Large coffee with 2 sugars for lunch
  3. Medium coffee with 2 sugars at 3:30pm with Work Dad
  4. Get interested in learning how to do some NQL scripting and manage to extract some juicy data to share with Work Dad and Work Grandad
  5. Blast some feel good folk & acoustic tunes through my headphones
