The second emoji is what came up when I typed in meeting.
Well the meeting wasn’t too bad. Still got blamed for the inadequacy of the project team, but the heat was lower than expected thankfully ❤️
Edit: Just got a call for another job that pays 1/3rd more. Fuck it let’s see what happens.
That project team that you didnt even set up or have any control over? and thats been long established since before you joined? Classic management.
Bingo. That the head PM is mates with my manager is absolutely classic blame diversion.
It sounds like the client is blaming you because you’re the main person they interact with. You have no control on the actual work that gets done on their account.
All I can do is hassle the project manager or project engineers to get updates.
Today I was told in the future if I need to escalate, go straight to the general manager which is cool at least
That’s good knowledge. You’ll have to start threatening the project team with that
Damn straight man. If I want to be a prick, I’ll email them asking for an update and cc the general manager lol
Got my payslip.
Picking up the car on my birthday Saturday!
It’s all coming up millhouse!
Also, a story in 2 photos:
Then meowing for my to get her down…
You softy. I would put a tin of salmon on the floor and walk away.
I am absolutely a softy lol
I have an understanding, but no words.
Watching her scale the security door with claws out, hanging for a bit, then doing the mad jump to the top of the door is nuts.
And all in 30 seconds from a standing start lol
She’s so strong! Look at her mighty form up on high, surveying her kingdom and her silly ape-slave… Who, coincidentally, will assist her dismount from her tightrope-throne!
Praise Be Gibson 🙌🏼
🤣🤣🤣 This got me genuinely laughing out loud.
I don’t know how they don’t hurt their claws on the screen doors, but mine have been known to do the same!
The pitiful ‘I’m stuck’ mews, then they do it again 20 seconds after being rescued
Nothing will ever beat the defeated look Gibson gives me when she gets wrapped up in a plastic bag and needs me to help her 🤣
TIL that cat claws are an appendage of the paw bone structure. Completely unlike humans whose nails are a part of skin structure.
That’s why cats can support their body weight with claws.
Holy shit. Makes complete sense!
And why declawing is an utter horror now rightfully banned most places
Yay for the cat righting reflex!
Bro rocked up last night finally to ‘see’ mum.
Just sat there and spoke about himself for 30mins.
Cunt. At least the old man is seeing him for who he really is now.
Pretty obvious won’t be getting much help from bro.
Anyway so I’ve left the kitchen with a bit of a mess and I need to see what happens (I usually clean up). Pretty much testing severity / independence. I’m hoping I’ll get a serve because that means she can see it, she can do it, how well she does it and mood which will be a good indication for steps that follow (for now). Low risk easy test.
Good luck and so many best wishes for your mum. 🫂🫂🫂
Thank you seagoon means a lot :)
Man it sounds like you’re having a fucking rough time right now.
Try to find a little time for yourself just to rest if you can.
I hope everything works out OK with your mum ❤️
Had one hell of a psych session… big emotions. Good session but the kind that you need to sit down and process for 30 minutes afterwards. I had thought I might pack my shoes and some other stuff tonight but it isn’t happening. It’s been a big week and more to come with the real move coming up.
I am not being lazy or weak, I am pacing myself 👍
Go you for attending the psych session! Good attitude, put your feet up and relax a bit. You deserve it!!!
hugs
I was just thinking to myself today that no one starts or does everything at the same time. And starts are the hardest as learning curves are real and take a lot of work. Life naturally just spaces itself out with different demands happening at different times. Systems are set up at different times, skills learnt at different times.
Life is naturally paced. That’s how people can do so much .
It’s how I did it as a teen even. Got some education. Got a job. Moved out. Did more education. One big start at a time.
Surprise! 1st strawberry from the patch this season. Was watering and thought… hmmmm… something red is hiding there. 🍓
That’s so cute! Who gets to eat it?
It’s all mine… gotta have some rewards!
Lucky duck!!!
Congrats! Looks luscious!
It was a very nice surprise!
Nice one! There is nothing like a properly ripened fresh strawberry.
yum 🙂
It was!
Woo! Few things in my horticultural life have excited me as much as the first strawb of the season!
I knew you’d understand my delight!
😋
Open mic is tomorrow at 9pm if anyone wants to come have a drink :)
Edit: I’m sorry I’m going to cancel. I’ve been dealing with this stomach bug all week and it’s just gotten worse and worse.
Id rather not go, than give a lacklustre performance :(
Rest up man. We’ll be there for the next one :)
Rest well buddy.
It’s been a stressful week for you on top of being sick and I’m sure that’s not helping you get better.
Look after yourself!
Magpie meowed… I think I’ve been feeding them too much cat food.
That’s adorable lol
Interesting thing just happened. I was in the middle of writing a reply, but the time stamp said that I had responded 5 minutes ago. Yes, it was the time stamp for that reply. I checked.
This means that the DT is actually a portal that allows time travel into the future. Albeit not very much future. Not enough for stock market speculation, dammit. Has anyone else had this happen to them?That explains why I see some serious shit every time a post hits 88 comments.
🚗⚡⚡⏰
No, just 2 DMs from a user I don’t recognise, one responding to something I wrote ages ago and another saying hello. Post history has a lot of removed posts and comments.
The user starts with a D doesn’t it? Has been sending a bunch of us messages as well.
I advise you block them.
Yeah it does actually lol, I just didn’t respond.
I think the" hello" person was spam to everyone. From memory the removed comment was something about finance and most likely a scam. They’ve been blocked from the Melboune sub.
Ah thanks.
my resident cyptid
- meows in approval *
🤣🤣🤣
ffs I have been banned for 3 days from one of the fossil reddits …lol. Some nonce posts a picture of a blue rock he got from Blue Rock Beach and asks if it’s a fossil.
It’s a blue rock.
more reddit adventures
antivaxxer is harassing me
and horribly cruel mocking political post against a poor white woman , for her looks and race, is allowed to stand
Went to pick up some extra food for a few days and came across some bargains
3kg bag of oranges for 5 dollars and a bag with 4 bunches of chinese broccoli or something for 2 bucks.
Felt like I made off like a bandit and has left me fairly happy with myself.
Also this afternoon was way smoother with almost no hassles compared to yesterday’s drama.
Edit: I also grabbed some red wine and pink moscato.
Orange juice freezes spectacularly jsyk. I like to make ice cubes
I’ll probably just end up eating them.
They’re fairly big oranges and I lack a juicer too.
Always worth having a little jug juicer for citrus, but delicious oranges are delicious
Chop them in half across the equator, let the cut surfaces dry a bit then sprinkle with sugar and put under the grill until the sugar melts and goes a bit brown. Eat with a spoon. It’s the perfect antidote to a rich heavy meal. Thank me later.
I’ll bookmark this for later. I hadn’t considered that option before and am a little curious about it now.
Cutting them in half and whacking with a mallet is good enough for brewing juice…,
Sounds messy.
Well yes, but if you do it in minimal attire in a bathtub you might get secondary income as well as home brew
I’m not sure I’ll recoup the cost of a mallet from that alone.
Might be a bust.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!

I forgot to buy cheese on the way home from work. My life is over
I must keep a constant supply of cheese in the fridge or Miniest will kill me
🐀
RIP
As long as you haven’t run out of smoked fish……
No I restocked recently thank God
Good start to the day, Marketplace buyer showed up & was very friendly. I have a couple more that will hopefully show up today too - I’ll have to convert all my cash to proper digital money soon! 💰 💰 💰
I’m really hoping some more cupboards sell soon, I’d like to be able to use my carport again. If any are remaining after this weekend I think I’ll put them up free on the Buy Nothing group.
Glad to hear you got rid of that couch. I’m reading Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency and I was worried your couch would get stuck in some physically impossible fashion and you’d have to saw it into pieces
I think it is @just_kitten 's couch you are thinking of, which is still pending pickup tonight. So the impossibly stuck couch is still a possibility. Hopefully if that does happen the horse in the bathroom situation will not follow.
Little whiteboard fell of the wall at 3am and frightened the bejesus out of me.
Broken sleep. 😠
Melbcat has been wrangled for her meds… she’s forgiven me and is now curled up as the little spoon
aww, hugs
