One of my coworkers came in sick. We are so unbelievably busy and have been in a state of crunch for the last month, and I have leave scheduled for Dragon Age and my partner’s birthday in a week.
I will be so sad if I catch the horrible hacking cough she’s got, I booked an expensive restaurant and everything
Another day, another job interview. Two this week, one that felt okay and one that felt pretty good - fingers crossed I get to the next stage with at least one of them!
Edit: second interview for one lined up for next week, yaaaay.
Good luck!
Good luck. Hope they go really well for you!
Woohoo! You got this
All the best mate, sounds like you killed it!
🤞
So I went to the street yard sale that Thornbury posted about.
It was massive , cool and interesting.
Two types of sellers, those who want to clear stuff out of their house, those who are trying to make money.
Prices were generally high, often higher than Op shops.
Lots of kids stuff, lots of over priced old clothes. So many books and by the look of it no one was buying.
Few dvds, even fewer CDs and vinyls.
So what did I get. From an old guy who was clearing out a shed, a nutmeg grater, some antique glass bottle stoppers.
From another stall I got a pair of light weight cargo pants.
had a nice chat with a woman who fixes up old chairs and does sewing. 🙂
It was an ok day.
When will people learn. If your rubbish bin is overflowing, the birds will come with their mates and scatter your shit all over your nature strip and if it ends up on mine I will go out there and relocate it back onto yours with a huff so use your limp wristed hands and push that shit down so the lid sits flush. Dickhead.
First full nights sleep in over 3 months and I feel worse than normal. Goddamn it.
Sleep hangover?
Could be. I’m not usually a grumpy butt, so I think you’re right.

I’m doing all of the positive things but man life sucks. It’s like wading through molasses. On an incline. And then sliding back
theres a real “back and forth” feeling lately. was standing in the shower earlier and sort of realized I feel like im taking the hit of each wave rather than riding them atm. Feel like a lot of us are doing that after covid.
I s’pose I better wear a raincoat if I don’t want to get rained on
Come down with a cold or something, so missing my human first aid lesson. Ugh. I should just be able to do the course via a charity anyway, and as long as it’s done before I finish the course it will be fine.
But damn it! Damn it! I hate missing stuff and having to play catch up. Whatever. I just have to trust myself that I am capable. And I don’t mind paying $200 for a one day human first aid course. But fucking fuck fuck fuck
when see blood where it shouldn’t be, apply pressure to where blood come out
Nb not with a tourniquet to the neck
bleeding stopped. patient no longer screaming. job done.
Paperwork ensues
Tablespoon of formaldehyde is a cure-all in a pinch
A great deal of the human course is what I would hope is common sense. Mine is long expired though I remember the important bits. But legals…
Such a pity radical phlebotomy has gone out of fashion. Maybe we can do a tiktok video … could be an excellent way to lose weight.
Losing the fight against some stupid broadleaf in the front yard lawn. MIL reckons I need to weed and feed it but a weekend 7 days after a mow but 7 days before the next mow with no rain is a bit much to ask for at the moment.
When I moved in the back yard was a dump. but what little kikuyu was there went nuts and within 2 years with basically no effort the kikuyu won and it now looks fantastic. Thinking I should just start transplant runners in the front yard and let it do its thing. Might take a few years but if it ends up half as good as the back yard I wont be complaining.
I use chemical warfare., broadleaf herbicide and it works well, but I’m not a gardening enthusiast so my word probably doesn’t mean much round here
yeah I have been trying that, but losing the war quite badly unless I wanna poison the whole thing.
I mean yeah, I wasn’t shy about using a lot of it.
I’m amazed that people know the difference between grasses. Me - grass bad. Going back inside 🤧 Even fake grass wants to kill me.
I can tell the difference between indica and sativa.
Talent!
I leave it off the resume.
to be honest I thought it was a VERY different name. I only really remember cause my parents would encourage us to steal runners from our neighbors lawn that were coming through the fence to help it spread into hours.
I have the opposite problem… wish I could snap my fingers and the neighbours couch grass that’s invaded my place could be gifted to you
I thought it was couch too!!! But in our case kikuyu. And tbh it makes a fantastic lawn so letting its do its thing has worked out great for us. Doubt you could fight it and win if you wanted to.
Oh I can’t
Agreed with CEO grass is evil. How about some nice chamomile or stepable mint?
My old man has been using Dicamba M recently which is a selective herbicide and it seems to be working so far. Not a fan of the shit but it’s not harming the kikuyu (unlike glyphosate).
I’ve just been going around with a mattock removing it by hand and filling the holes with soil and some lawn food. Only problem this way is the green bin becomes super heavy very quickly.
Sadly I’d be digging up half the damn lawn. That isnt a joke, it is EVERYWHERE.
She sure is
Dude get some fucking headphones bro seriously
Edit: sorry for my bus related rant. I still haven’t got my skin swab results back and I’m a bit miffed.
That was me last week I think or week before in a cafe.
Like seriously, get some headphones or something if you’re going to watch a video right next to me.
No word yet? Taking a bit to get the results.
Well there were 2 swabs done, one for Buruli and one for other stuff. Receptionist said one of them has been completed but they’re doing more tests on the other one.
Work so far has not been dreadful. I pray this continues
I’ve lost my voice. And I’m running an event that requires me to basically talk all weekend. This’ll be interesting.
The Gisele Pelicot case really makes my blood boil. All these gutless, horrible men who really do think women are chattel and that their consent means less than a man’s entitlement to pleasure.
What a fucking pig of a husband. I don’t even know what to say. That poor woman, and her courage
Edit: She obviously wasn’t moved to another location but would this count as something similar to human trafficking?
If those complete and utter POSs thought they were taking part in a sex game, then maybe the game wasn’t sex so much as domination, and the whole point was the absence of the power to choose. Which to me indicates a very frail and fragile sense of their own masculinity. The husband should be executed imo. Preferably by lethal injection.

Or tied to an anthill
I read this when it came out. Her husband, I have no words. No consent, the STDs… I am also in awe of her courage. I don’t think I’d be able to even leave a room let alone have contact with people ever again.
I just read up on it because I was unfamiliar with the case. Good lord what a poor brave broken woman. The husband admitting guilt is of little comfort. What a hideous POS.
they would treat other men badly too except they only abuse those who are physically weaker than they are
also, how come Giselle’s doctor didn’t look after her? That puzzles me so much.
These questions here too.
