Never seen the reddit algorithm so brazenly trying to trigger an emotional reaction. The amount of American BS when I haven’t clicked on any of that stuff in over 2 months is really really… pathetic. that’s the word for it. Its like a socially inept person trying to bate you into an argument. you almost feel sorry for it.
I know i pitched it yesterday, but I cannot overstate how great it is to just not give a shit. If you dont have to engage then dont. Its not our fight, and your mental health will thank you.
My US workmate is not having a great day
30 mins to go.
I’m not holding my breath.
I have just spent the last 5 hours of my work day fixing a problem that was caused by my boss doing the glad-handing ‘everybody’s a mate’ method of billing for overdue accounts. I am so over this. Am I legally allowed to tie a pillowcase over my boss’s head after having inserted a pair of explorers into his mouth? Preferably having loaded the socks with mustard. Or horseradish.
And I do the evil-dragon overdue accounts lady very well, but why should I have to? Such a waste of time.

Chia Seeds getting stuck in the sponge.
This song and clip… Every now and then I just get the sudden urge to watch and listen to it. It’s just so… wistful?
Peeve: the resident magpie keeps pooing on my beach towel I hang out on the chair outside after swims.
Adore: The resident magpie.
It’s very conflicting.
Peeve: packaging that says peel here but I end up getting a knife or scissors to open it.
Adore: Coffee
Peeve: Always feeling a bit exhausted Adore: laying back in the hammock relaxing.

Random Q: how often do gas meter readers generally read?
They’ve been coming weekly to read my meter, and it just seems a little strange that they check so often, especially considering my billing period is monthly (or at least that’s what they said. They actually seem to issue my bills every 26 days, which is an odd frequency but eh)
Maybe they suspect a leak?
Maybe?
I sent them an email to see why it’s being read so frequently. Apparently they’re meant to be read weekly
I saw him walking down the street and checking everybody else’s though, so it doesn’t seem to just be me
What a bizarre timeline we’re livin’ in.
what was bizarre was the few decades of post wwii peace, social advancement and community wealth in the west
I dreamed I rented a used empty grave to sleep in like a hostel bed, and then I was joining one of the meal meetings of you lot.
Used but empty? What happened to the previous occupant?
You did used to be able to rent a coffin as a place to sleep.
Of course, that was in the times when one of your other sleeping options was “renting about a foot of rope to lean on while you slept standing up”…
I don’t know but I got the feeling he left voluntarily

am I sook?
Trump scares me and I am afraid for friends who live in America. 😢
I am scared for all the good people
No, just empathetic. Its scary and its going to be hard, and its hard to be a systems thinker/student of history etc because the patterns are so clear. And you see them repeating here too. I have been thinking a lot about how to make room for the grief and fear so that I can recharge and get back to making little differences in my little corners. But I have no answers, just remote hugs
No. Not sook, but foresightful. My boy and his wife are getting out asap - certainly by June/July this year. They want to have another child, and wife is (rightfully) afraid for her general and reproductive health in Florida. The clinic she was going to has announced that it’s moving to Seattle. From Florida. So it can continue to provide 1st class health care for women. Which is no longer possible in Florida without breaking state laws.
My boy is also disgusted with the way that politicians and others there have fled into ‘moral’/religious bunkers of hate, fear and repression.
The USA is dividing into have/have not healthcare states. This is truly scary imo.
This is how the Civil War started. 😔
I haven’t had the convo yet, but I was just handed 2 extra clients.
“I’m sorry, the amount of work exceeds my capabilities. As the public face of this org stretching me too think makes us all look bad, I cant serve the number of clients you have given me and do so in a manor that meets my own quality objectives, let alone the companies.”
That’s a lot nicer than what I was going to say.
I watch a lot of this person, its pretty great https://youtube.com/@loewhaley
Is that a good thing?
Nope. I can’t keep up anymore. I would quit on the spot if I had another contract.
Edit: I would need to work 50ish hours a week to keep up.
get everything in writing
fuuuuuckin’ hell muskrat
Pay no attention to the theatrics, it’s a distraction to the much worse things they are doing.
Trump has shown he has received his shopping lists from Putin and is proceeding with the purge of Putin’s enemies and the enemies of crime ( thankfully only administrative purge, so far )
And Trump has received his payment through money laundering grifts of cyber money releases
Also has his list from Elon and the other tech billionaires. Has to repay the election debt.
I swear we can’t even go to sleep anymore without America or the yanks doing stupid shit
Felt quite gluggy when I woke up this morning so I’m working from home. I have a bit more of a cough and a runny nose now so I’m sure people appreciate me not going into the office
5 hours of restless, nightmarish sleep.
💀
Me too. I’m suspecting it had something to do with the half a coffee I drank at 10pm. It was way too potent for a sleep coffee.
the night mare was waking up then looking at the front page of the newspapers 🍊 ☠️
I forgot which day it was and had a quick look because you mentioned it and then closed the tab immediately. I don’t care if it’s denial or privilege or whatever I don’t want to know the depths of atrocities happening and about to happen in that cursed place.
Awake-mare. I worry about the shift in Australia due to the American politics.
I used to blame America in a way for Australia’s problems but now I see we have our own cunts here and they do not copy America, and they have been actively working against the interests of the Australian people since the 1960s. First by destroying unions then by driving manufacturing to China.
First 1 on 1 meeting with new manager today, after making a couple of silly mistakes in my first week with her. Then five months probation review with first manager tomorrow 😰. Also tonight is first night of THREE in a row where I’m meeting up for dinner with various people after work. Unheard of. I’m not this social
Good luck with the review mate :)
