Actually, it is the bad moon tonight - 94% waxing gibbous. Very bad omen. CCR had it right.
Haha. This is my ringtone for my daughter cos she very rarely calls me.

Just kinda starting to feel understand how big this is. Biggest IT fail in a longgggg time.
Backatcha CEO. 🤟🏻 We’re all snug and (reasonably) warm here and all the appliances are dumb enough that we can cope.
Pets are funny. You treat them like wheat bags but when you move you realise you’re their wheat bag.
Love you too CEO. At least I have my pizza if the world ends today.
Let’s hope it lets me have the final AFL game as well tonight.
I hate both teams but I hope we survive to watch the Olympics.
I’ve got some tough tipping to do this week
Hawthorn Vs Collingwood Brisbane Vs Sydney
Argh! Hard games to tip and I’m leading my tipping comp at work.
Fuck yeah!
I’d go Collingwood and Sydney.
That’s the opposite of what I tipped!
I’ll still pray for ya brother. 🙏 🤞
Love you too CEO happy endtimes party 🎉💚💃🏻💃🏻🎤🎶
🤘
Back at ya, CEO. 🖤
♥
Good morning. 🤗 It’s freezing.
Today’s title is to celebrate the Fluffy Butt family’s achievements and new beginnings.
That’s incredibly sweet of you ❤️
🥳🥳🥳🥳
shakes virtual pompoms
So the go live was a disaster. to be fair it worked for the first 10 minutes or so. Its the 11th where we started to run into problems. Turns out when the vendor says “yep no worries”. what they REALLY meant to say was “Yep? No. Worries!” We got lionel hutz’ed!
And now the blame game begins, but we cant do much when the vendor straight up lies, can we? I didnt pick the vendor or the product. And I’m MORE than happy to call the Vendor and say “Listen here fuckface, you screwed up BAD how are you going to fix it!?” but I dont think the business want me to do that for some reason.
Tell me the rollout didn’t involve Crowdstrike? 🤣
But yeah that is super frustrating.
Someone at Crowdstrike is getting fired 😂
Anti gratitude!
I cannot feel my toes. Left bread directly under the radiator to rise overnight. It sunk. Fragrant brick for breakfast.
My house is freezing and it hampers my desire to get out of bed.
Lack of insulation in this country is disgusting. Climate change is only going to get worse, and I’m fully expecting that people will die in their homes when it’s too hot and too cold.
My buildings OC installed insulated windows in all the apartments, which has caused more condensation because they are airtight, and now it’s the occupants responsibility to make sure mold doesn’t occur 😑😑😑. But there no insulation in the roof as far as I can tell, so we lose heat through the roof. Either we have the split system on, which is old and inefficient, and lose heat. Or we leave it off and stay cold AS FUCK all day and night. The only saving grace is having oodies.
Hate the way we build in this stupid cuntry
I seem to be living in my oodie this winter. Nice clean clothes everyday then oodie goes on top, which I try to keep clean. Looking at it carefully it’s starting to wear out. 🫥
I woke up with a sore neck and a headache, yay.
The thing I’m looking forward to the most is moving into a place that has insulation.
Wot ‘e sed 👆🏻
It’s truly amazing
is your current place far from your new job? and is the new job close to where you’d want to live?
New job is in the city. Current place is pretty far, near Werribee.
I have a house to myself for a bit more than what I’d pay for 2 or 3 bed apartment closer to the city and civilisation. That’s the only real draw. A house compared to an apartment.
But I need to be around people and this area is dead.
dont know if you’ve ever checked it out, but fairfield is pretty great. Or at least it used to be. Close enough for a cheap uber to the city or fitzroy without paying fitzroy prices. It might’ve got a bit more expensive since i left though.
I went to the supermarket and spent money without feeling guilty for being frivolous and buying fruit.
Felt good.
Slept in - for me - until about quarter to seven then was pinned for an hour by the felines.
What a life, as the yiayia would say.There’s some sort of mass outage happening. Half the checkouts in Woolies Oakleigh wasn’t working and a constant announcement complex wide alerting us of a technical problem.
The Rush hour on Triple M wasn’t playing and came podcast only and have mentioned banks going down in the CBD and their own equipment wasn’t loading to air on radio.
I wonder what’s going on.
Crowdstrike (core service) is down. Looootta shit hitting the fan. But on the up sky news is apparently utterly off air so cheers
Thank God EFTPOS at the restaurant my friend and I caught up at was fine or we or they would have been in the shit.
Yeah. Thank god my Apple Pay for commbank was working with some checkouts open too or no pizza for me.
Nah, they blow the dust off the ol’ ratchet-ratchet and go manual
Read down below 👇🏻 massive IT outage worldwide Blue screen of deathing Windows laptops and servers
Bugger. Thanks. Just had a look. Got the news on now.
I was expecting my laptop to blue screen.
Oh why couldn’t it have happened when I was at work.
Some sort of issue with microsoft PCs apparently.
Bummer. This’ll be interesting. Going to absorb some news and see what happens from it.
as long as the power stays on I can play some LPs
hopefully telly is still on for later
Bunnings online is pretty much down - they wouldn’t take my money and i had to press buttons a dozen times to even get it to try.
Vlines whole communication system is dead, so all vline trains are suspended
Edit: Commbanks PayID is dead (BSB and account number still work). UBanks customer service is apparently dead too and are saying it’s a good idea to call them another day.
Edit edit: there’s apparently a national emergency meeting underway about it, according to the ABC
Edit edit edit: that image took 4 tries to upload
Big W self checkouts weren’t working either.
All of them? I’m lucky some werre working or otherwise no pizza for me :(
Royal Exhibition Building bought top much of all the great alcohol and condiments from the stalls!
At a pub for drinks, getting Korean BBQ for dinner later.
So cold, but damn I love my MIL and her partner. Never thought I’d be a part of family that’s so close and supporting 😭💜
😭 that’s so awesome, so happy for you
My teams work computers keep blue screening 👌
Crowdstrike lol.
I’m just watching the carnage unfold.
I’m watching the news and the newsreader (Sandra sully?) just asked some expert “and should we panic?!” 😂🤣
E: now she’s telling people not to panic. Must have got told off in the ad break
Notice she’s on the couch and not the news desk?
They seem to be leaning in to the drama
haha not much else to do they’re saying, time to crack open the wine!

Looks like I’m not going home on time tonight :|
This would be so fine with me except I use work laptop for recreational activities while not working 😔 and now I’m finished work 😔
Did yours blue screen?
My work laptop hasn’t done it yet.
Yep. Now it’s in a blue screen loop. When I restart I get to log in page and it just blue screens again
Ok. Not sure if you can do this but I’d back up the file just incase.
Quoted from a website.
There is a faulty channel file, so not quite an update. There is a workaround… 1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or WRE. 2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike 3. Locate and delete file matching “C-00000291*.sys” 4. Boot normally.
There’s a manual fix which involved rebooting and deleting a file I think.
I don’t know the details of it yet.
Yeh I’ve been following. Unfortunately I don’t have admin privileges! Many other people also will not. This probably means every single laptop or device needs manual attention from their IT guy. Very fun in today’s WFH environment
Oh boooo :(
🐧🐧 here. I am just gonna sit here and be smug like the Linux user I am (yes at work too)
Gratitude thread :)
Thanks @Catfish for starting the anti-gratitude thread :)
Grateful for the weight being lifted off my chest
Incredibly grateful for the help from members of this community for the help and support they’ve given me
Warm cat sleeping in the lounge room with the heater on now that bills will be manageable
Getting a beard trim later which means I get to go to South Yarra
Friend bought me a ticket to a gig tomorrow night to celebrate
A lot to be grateful for ❤️❤️❤️
thank you to all the horticulturists who breed all the beautiful flowers and the good vegetables I grow and enjoy
looking at my little balcony gardens I have plants and flowers from all over the world
azaleas from the Himalayas, chilli plants from Peru, ginger from South East Asia, cactuses from Mexico, zebra plants from Africa, irises and freesias from Europe etc etc
I love a good grump I does 😺
Grateful that I have stopped vomiting and can enjoy my time in Port Fairy.
Was up at 3am again today, but forced myself to go back to sleep until 7am.
Going out to see MIL today, so looking forward to seeing her. She’s like the mum I wish I had. She always tells the story of when she first met me and knew her son wasn’t coming back to Perth lol. Such a treasure of a human, and it’s been a year and a half since we’ve seen her.
Unsure if I want to go to the footy with them tomorrow though, West Coast vs St Kilda iirc. MIL’s partner goes for WC, she and my partner go for Freo, of course. Here I am, lil bomber supporter. I suppose, as a Victorian, I ought to go for the Saints.
The last time I went to the footy was back in the mid-late 2000s. My friend and her family were/are Carlton supporters, and it was Essendon vs Carlton. Essendon won that game, was close too iirc, and the drive home was AWKWARD! Took everything in me not to be all in their faces haha.
/endtextwall
Go orn, go to the footy, you’ll have a great time even if you all barrack for different teams. 😊
It might actually be a good game. They’re at 15/16 on the ladder. West Coast are in their ‘lose every game’ phase, so in theory it’ll be a Saints victory.
In general though, I’m always going for whoever is playing the Victorian team. 😂
Hooray in the middle of the crowdstrike crisis I bought w/e goon with real cash monies :) got a few dirty looks though from goonless people.
I got really lucky. I was able to get a script done for my kid AND pay with card at the Chemist Warehouse. Otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed at all
Now I regret not going to the supermarket yesterday.
Me too.
Me three. At least for perishables.
