There is a blender full of underpants on my kitchen table
Perhaps Boyo ran out of clean jocks and was prepared to do a turbo wash before realising that’s not such a good idea.
okay. Interest is piqued.
Tell us more. 😊🍿
Other evidence suggests Boyo went on a packing spree after I left for work. Or maybe house elves broke into the catnip stash.
Do you ever come across an object and think “I wonder what that’s from”? So you keep it thus occupying both physical space and brain space because you know if you do toss it you’ll work out what it’s for a week later once the big bins have been emptied. Yeah I hate that.
All. the. time .
Absolutely. I’m looking at one right now lol
As someone with ADHD I direct your question to my partner
Wires mostly. I have stuff going back to the old vga cables.
Sometimes I can’t work out if it’s a micro usb or one of those weird proprietary cables with fits into almost nothing.
Could’ve done a bit longer today but solid day out in fantastic weather. Definitely feeling the happy chemicals along with the mild soreness. Now time to salvage this shitty leftover gluggy jasmine rice and make fried rice with it. NEVER again am I falling for that nonsense with 1:1.5 ratios on the packet…
I find with jasmine rice you need about 1cm or 1.5cm of water level over the rice to cook it nicely either on stovetop or rice cooker I think from memory.
Has been a very long since I’ve done jasmine rice but it used to be my go to rice variety.
I’ve made jasmine rice off and on and grew up with various rice types, I honestly know better but I trusted the packet over my instincts… Not next time!!
I is a 1:1.5 person :(
Maybe that works when on the stovetop but it was a mess in the rice cooker :(
I do 1:1.5 for basmati rice (sometimes 1:2 depending on variety)
Boring work thing:
Found a great Web app to organise all my work. Will make life so much easier!
yay, the small indie supermarket had eggs
I’ve been lucky in that the fruit and veg shop I go to near work had a plentiful supply. I like going there anyway because of the freshness and prices, but also because they had the balls and sheer audacity to set up right next door to the Woolies. It’s led to staff from the Woolies going in there, checking prices and going back and marking down lol, it’s really obvious when they do it too.
Spent a good chunk of the day applying for roles in different departments. There’s 3 I am super keen on, wish me luck.
I guess if they pay you 3 salaries, you can do 3 roles. Sounds exhausting though!
🤞
🤞🏼
Good luck!
Good luck! I got the one I applied for in December.
Congrats!!
Thankyou. I’m second guessing myself even before I’ve started. It’s a six month secondment, so we’ll see how I go!
You’ll do fine. If you have something to fall back onto, even better.
🤞🏼
I think know what I’m going to use those virtual desktops, or remote spaces for. I’ve got a couple of projects at work on the go already now, so instead of having a bunch of tabs open across two screens I can separate them out to their own desktops and have everything I need for them there.
That way I won’t get lost amongst all the tabs and I can keep focused on one specific task at a time. Let’s see if it works
So PSA. If you want to use an IKEA gift card purchased online immediately, you can’t.
What a joke. 48h.
Edit: And ones bought in-store are 24h (as told to me by a staff member).
Recently I was told by JB hifi as well that I couldn’t use their gift cards to buy other types of online credit for gaming services.
Was told it was an anti scamming measure.
Real shame as well as I often end up with JB gift cards.
My son got a bunch of EB gift cards for a b-day a while back…couldn’t use them for PS or Steam cards.
I get it…but at the same time I don’t.
That’s strange. I’ve had no trouble using EB Gift cards for ps cards.
I did it last month on the website.
Really? Maybe the policy changed. This was back in 2023 I think and in store. Haven’t tried since.
I rang up one of the stores just to check as well and they said you can redeem gift cards for ps store.
Yep.
If you still have the gift cards you could probably do it now.
Website will only let you one one gift card per transaction but in store they’ll take multiple.
Anti scammer measure I’ll bet. So dimwits won’t buy gift cards to pay for their parking infringements issued by the Australian Federal Police.
Haha, it’d be funny since these are for IKEA.
Good news is I’m back from the shops with everything we need until next week. Bad news is it took 2 hours. Good news is the dog didn’t shit on my carpet while we were gone.
I’m going to wait 2 weeks before approaching my manager again about the outcome of the raise discussions.
Have kept applying and have a couple more interviews next week.
Will have to be working outside office hours anyway, and the raise would make it worthwhile, but we’ll see.
Fingers crossed.
Will it be worth it if you got the raise?
From the impression I got it felt like they were overloading you with clients and work.
There’s got to be a point where you have to tell them that you’ve been given too much work or too many clients to deal with?
Honestly, I don’t know. The raise would be life changing. I could actually buy a house a lot sooner.
I am overloaded. And I will need to work outside office hours. But everything has a cost. Depends what we want to sacrifice to achieve our goals.
In the least, it will give me an incredible ability to handle large amounts of work which I can take with me to another place.
Life has so many tough decisions.
Lets hope you get a raise to make it worth it or a job that’s just better overall
Fingers crossed. What i asked for would make it worth it.
good deed done for the day. Someone on reddit wanted a postcard from aus so just got that done. Jesus my writing is appalling.
I love this.
Postcards are awesome.
Are they a collector of postcards or something?
I think so. said they didnt have one from Aus.
I saw this. Thought youse might like it.
I feel that in my bones lol
Love it!
I am feeling this very hard today!
🤬
Two years ago, I went to see a psychiatrist for an ADHD assessment. Did some questionnaires, as did my mum, and after a half an hour telehealth consultation, I was told I have ADHD. The report I was given by this psychiatrist was riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes, and claimed things like I have binge eating disorder and insomnia, when I don’t have either of those things. The directions for medications were vague, and the GP I went to had trouble following what was written. This GP isn’t thorough himself, writing me a mental health care plan with also lots of mistakes, and one that said I was going to see a psychologist because of three types of insomnia that you can’t have all at once. But to avoid paying $60 out of pocket to see the more thorough GP up the road, I didn’t really have a choice. Besides, that GP said, “Really?!! We would’ve picked that up when you were younger,” when I said I thought I had ADHD.
So today, the GP asked me if I really needed medication. I tell him that’s his job to determine, but I have always struggled to stay afloat doing pretty much anything, and it’s made my life hell. He then asked me if I wanted to try a different medication, so he can change the permit to allow him to prescribe it. I told him I didn’t want to try a long-acting medication again, because I couldn’t sleep. He then tells me that he can’t change the permit to let me have something else, and the report is shit, and I should see a psychiatrist again.
$900 out of pocket to see the first psychiatrist, probably a couple of hundred to try medication for depression and ADHD, lots of learned helplessness and valuable time lost… and now even more money down the drain. The price gouging is insane, exploiting people who are struggling and in need of answers. I’ve also heard of people who got a diagnosis, and somehow they’ve missed bipolar disorder when taking their hx, and oop, they’ve ended up with stimulant-induced psychosis.
I went to the optometrist last year, who said I have a focusing problem with my eyes. Maybe that’s what it’s been this whole time.
It just makes me wonder if I should even bother trying meds, or if I should just give up. But I cannot keep maintaining the status quo, or I will be giving up on life.
I feel for you. Hearing what people I know pay for psych appointment is horrendous.
Hopefully you can get a second opinion from a different psychiatrist. I have heard stories before of people having additional conditions to adhd, which get missed because adhd symptoms can overlap with other things. If the medication is causing your life quality to be lower than without it, this sounds like it’s definitely the wrong stuff and needs a review. Taking it should be helpful, not make things worse.
That’s such fucking bullshit, and sadly a story I’ve heard before.
