Forgot to post last night but I arrived in Mollymook yesterday afternoon. I’m here until tomorrow then I start heading home 🏖️
I have no idea where Mollymook is but it looks lovely.

Working in the community can be great, it can also be shit. Glad the dollars were found, but it does make you feel like garbage to have your professional integrity questioned. Union protection is a good idea.

Just join your union anyway, it’s always a good thing and they need the support too, to advocate for you. Forget cmfuckup, and focus on your own union and the good things they can do for you. :)
I’m so glad this has worked out, and that they know you had nothing to do with it! Enjoy your day and all the beautiful things in your life, you deserve the relief and peace!

Fantastic news.
How does $$$ go missing anyway and I’m guessing they tried to blame you for it going missing?
I hope they issue an apology to you as it sounded like you weren’t going through a nice time if you’re also considering joining a union for protection.
I think you should treat yourself to something delicious tonight.
- Old person hides cash away
- they forget where they left it and search other places
- they decide it was the carer who stole it
- they find it later and call back to say it was found
Old people do be forgetting things lol
That gets me so angry.
It seems as a society we have forgotten that naming and blaming people can have serious consequences so you better be bloody sure. It used to be a sin to defame.

I had an accident trimming my beard last night, the length attachment fell off while using and took a huge chunk of it out. Didn’t have any other option but to trim it all off. I kept the mo and some of the “soul patch” (had to look up what that’s called, strange name). I haven’t been hairless on my face like this for years, it’s an adjustment. Feeling wind on my cheeks this morning was weird and kinda nice. Maybe this was divine intervention to change it up.
I’ve been there. That exact scenario. My condolences 💀
My husband’s been growing beards lately and he can’t get the trimming right near the top lip. Doesn’t matter how many you tube videos he’s watched he somehow makes it look weird so he shaves it all off and the growing process starts again.
I don’t care if he has a beard or not. I just don’t want to see food dangling off the mo.
I used to trim my own and it looked pretty bad each time. Started going to the local barbers, and they’re fantastic. I go every 6-8 weeks, and in between trim it myself a bit.
They’re worth it.
Good idea. Maybe I should give it a go first though.
When he goes in for a hair cut he gets his eyebrows trimmed. Surely that’s a sign you’re getting old when the hairdresser asks “Sir would you like your eyebrows trimmed too”?
In that situation I’d attempt a

As a bearded man, this happening to me would break my heart. I’m so sorry.
Soul patch? I call it the crouton

A medical appointment gave me the chance to be taken back to the op shop because there was a Led Zeppelin shirt I didn’t grab. You snooze you lose, probably snapped up 30 seconds after I left by a reseller.
But I did get some Buffy dvds and some art books. I went a little ham because things are getting scrubbed from the internet and I’m rediscovering the importance of physical media.
Life is a little bit easier now the demanding meds schedule is over, instead of stressing Melbcat out all the time we can focus on cuddling and chilling together.
this is really good, so happy for you and melbcat, you both need this 😽😻
It’s so good. I think she’s got a slightly tender little tummy still but has started the fortiflora.
She’s now willing to eat her wet food with the regular meds mixed in which is so much less traumatic for both of us.
*because things are getting scrubbed from the internet
Wait, what? I’m out of the loop on this one
Pirate everything. For books:
For everything else check out the megathread at reddit.com/r/piracy
I would love to pirate but would suffer undue anxiety about it and would be hit quite hard if my internet provider cut me off. I know about vpns but don’t know which are trustworthy
NordVPN is probably the most trusted. They’ve been around a long time and have generally positive reviews.
Maybe. I’m still incredibly risk averse.
I’ve pirated for years and never been caught. The bigger issue is accessing the torrent websites. But you can set up search in Qbittorrent to search within the program, so you don’t even need to go to the dodgy websites
I’d not know where to start and would add insane anxiety to my life.
I understand, and it’s not worth the stress if it’s something you’re worried about.
The guides are always out there if you ever want to give it a go
Thanks. It’s a valuable skill, just one I’m not sure I can master!
This has been slowly happening for a long time without fanfare. A lot of stuff you used to be able to watch for free on YouTube (even older stuff) is getting more difficult or impossible to find due to aggressive copystrikes, probably to try and push us onto cable and streaming services.
Cartoon Network likes to wipe shows from the internet after they finish or are cancelled and they’re probably not the only ones.
Also the Internet Archive recently lost a copyright lawsuit that means access to 50,000 (?) books (and movies?) was lost.
Basically corporations are getting more aggressive about gatekeeping what you can access for free and taking stuff down, so a lot of people are advocating for making physical backups or obtaining copies of anything important to you.
It happens periodically. Streaming services don’t hold on to things forever, and even sites like the Internet Archive (which shares free access to books) periodically has to negotiate a changing landscape of access to materials.
We do not own things we get off Netflix, or even off Steam and such. Access can be revoked
Yeah, that’s why it should be allowed to archive. Infinity Train was wiped off the internet out of spite and there was some stink about people losing music they had purchased. As in purchased under the agreement that they would be able to keep access.
Subscription based services can get fucked. I may not dare pirate but I’m not afraid to go caveman if I have to
You got me interested about Infinite Train so I looked it up. It makes no sense whatsoever why they would do what they did.
Insane.
Worst part is that it was on my list but I never got to watch it. And because I don’t feel comfortable taking the risk of other means, I won’t be able to.
Strange how companies are able to completely deny access to culture if they feel they aren’t getting every penny they feel they’re entitled to, or just out of spite. They can still delete stuff you paid for though!
Just patted a beautiful Greyhound on the way to work. I love their big emotional googly eyes 😍
All hands meeting. Executive verbally wanks himself about the company.
None of this matters to my job.
I have work to do. Kindly fuck off.
Look at you embracing employment again! In to the swing of it all already.
Hahaha indeed.
I actually love my direct managers and some of the senior leadership team. But not this guy and his little band of yes men.
Been on school camp for 4 days anything happen here?
Sneezing. Lots and lots of sneezing.
Better.
Ugh, I really wanted to take PT and the Skybus to the airport and save $30 on an uber but… in this weather, I don’t trust PT to get me to the city on time, and fuck schlepping it in the wet. I got paid today, I’m taking the uber. AND treating myself to a schnacko at the airport if I get peckish. I can take the Skybus on the way back.
Off we go! No panic and anxiety. There are some things I appreciate having a job that pays money for
Did you manage to get to the airport in time?
I hope you have a wonderful trip!
Weather wasn’t so great and you should get there early. I was hearing on the radio all morning that there are some sort of works going on and to get there 30 mins earlier than usual.
Yep, got here about 50 minutes before boarding, plenty of time for a burrito and unwinding before I board. I’m glad I wasn’t dying of anxiety trying to will the Skybus to go faster. I actually missed my flight back to Qld because of Skybus delays way back in 2011 or so and have never trusted it since…
Glad you got there. A burrito sounds wonderful, a glass of wine with that would do the trick!
Ohh ok. That’s fair enough. I hope they still aren’t as bad as that these days but you definitely don’t want to be late for your flight.
Is it busy over there at the airport since it’s the start of the school holidays now?
A glass of wine would’ve been a great idea! Didn’t think of that.
If the weather had been better I would’ve definitely taken Skybus but I figured I would rather buy myself some peace of mind after a very overwhelming week.
Seems busy enough but not disgustingly so. I think a lot of the families with younger kids would’ve gone by now. Weather has caused some delays here and there. I’m ready to fall straight asleep once I board - hopefully soon… It’ll be 1:30am Melbourne time when we land so I’m taking all the sleep I can get
safe travels!
have a good flight 😽
Goodnight everyone. 😘 Sweet dreams.
Goodnight ❤️ Love the title btw 🐈
Ted Cat has a problem. The crunchies are not good enough and he’s protesting.
Miss Meow will volunteer to eat them for him. Miss Meow is currently very unhappy with the portion sizes of her meals at the moment, and is rather disgruntled that I keep picking up Mr Woof’s excess dry food and not letting her eat that either.
So sad.
After trying to bite my bum Ted is now sitting by the heater and is glaring at me.
One advantage to a toothless cat, bites are not something I need to be concerned about! You might like to pass on to Ted how lucky he is to have a heater to sit on, Miss Meow is not provided with such luxuries.
bite my bum
Oh jeez again heh.
Oi… Thought I’d start a playlist thread. Maybe I’ll do it weekly, maybe I won’t…who knows…
Yes! I shall contribute.
