    Shout out to the legend trying to intimidate me in his new Audi this morning. Bruh I’m in a shitbox hatchback missing more paint than I have emotional issues, you really think I’m scared of you hitting my car? Its 6am, windy AF and I’m doing the limit. The threat of you scratching your +100k car against my 7k (If that!) car aint the threat you think it is.

      Hey now, you don’t how stressful his high powered and important life is. Do you know how expensive Audis are and how much bullshit one hast to put up with to afford one??

      Next time, get out of his (yeah that’s right…HIS) lane and carry on with your lowly non-Audi-owning life.

        Bro is game even driving it around my suburb. I mean its not fankston, but we’ve got more commodores with exhausts cut off than we do BMWs. Dunno whos worse, the teens fanging it or the soccer mums in huge SUVs they never quite mastered.

          Similar mix to my hood. Done up cars drive by either young european dudes OR european dudes my age that haven’t grown up yet. SUVs driven by people who can’t drive. Mercs, BMWs and Porsche Cayannes all over…again aggressive and clueless.

          The new breed seem to the Rovers. Seeing heaps of them around for some reason.

    Good Lord, this headache is so painful. Paracetamol doesn’t touch it, waiting for my partner to come back with some ibuprofen.

      you can get ibuprofen + paracetamol tablets now, and paracetamol + caffeine.

        Paracetamol doesn’t really affect me, after I tried to off myself with it. I take one, if I have nothing else, but it’s mostly for the placebo affect and I tend to avoid it anyway.

        Ibuprofen has helped though!

      Ugh I’m so guilty of this too. I had a filling that hurt a little bit, and for some reason, whenever there’s any pain in my teeth, my immediate subconscious instinct is to bite down on the teeth that are hurting

      Hugs and hope the ibuprofen helps, and your head feels better soon. I ran out of Nurofen, and swallowable paracetamol, so I’ve been using the aldi “hedanol” recently, which starts dissolving as soon as it touches the sweat and oils in my hand 😐

      If you can get to a chemist, try something called “maxigesic”. Take 2, lay down and put your thumbs gently behind your neck

    Well… it’s in. The assignment is in - but I feel so thoroughly muted about it because it turns out my supervisor had to go through what I’d written with a lot of red ink pixels and rewrite a chunk of it. He wasn’t at all trying to put me down, if anything just help me so I’d get this across the line, but I feel like I have such a long, long, long way to go and I might have bitten off more than I can chew. I really feel quite low about how limited my brain capacity is compared to 5 years ago. Would love to have some kind of win this week to feel better about myself :(

      As counter-intuitive as it sounds having a supervisor being that interested in laying down a lot of red… is a win :)

        For sure, I have been very lucky to have a supportive mentor, I just feel like I’ve failed him (and myself) a bit - but better not to dwell on it, onward we go, even if the end result isn’t really ground breaking or entirely my idea, I’ll have learned something from it I hope.

        I agree, it’s a win.

        two things are worse than having someone help edit

        someone who gives praise and does nothing when it really does need help

        someone who puts down for no reason when the work is perfectly fine

        but i get it, it’s a bit of an ego bruise

        I really was hoping to go visit my aunt at the end of the month for a break + TLC but it seems like she might have other plans (lots going on in her life as well). I might head to my hidey hole in NSW if she isn’t available. I really would like to unplug for a bit

      I got one of those mealy box things denigrated in the 12am-8am slot, once. It was 11:30 and still hadn’t been put on their truck, so I figured it was gonna be more of a 5/6am delivery and went to sleep. Then at 7 I woke up, and saw a text from 12:23 telling me it had been delivered 😟

      Luckily the ice block kept out cool enough I wasn’t too worried, but I’m never making that mistake again!
