15 minutes into my workday and I was down the back of the work yard, doubled over and crying. Why am I doing this to myself? Why am I doing this to this business? Why is this business doing this to me?
Counting down the minutes until 5pm.
Maybe you could write off today and go home sick? Some couch time might help.
Take care of yourself.
Call in sick
so many hugs, you take care of yourself
Can you call a friend to come over? Cos you need hugs

Severance episode 2 release day 🎉 🧇 🥚 🐐 can’t wait to see what this week brings. I’ve read the theories a thousand times now
Same! The opening scene on S2 E01 was so good, I knew instantly that as much artistry had been put into season 2 as season 1. Love everything about this show. The story, the mystery, the filming, the aesthetic is 💯, actors are brilliant. And the social commentary, oof. Leaves you with plenty to think about.

Hi everybody
Hello Mother.
, and welcome to today’s episode of…
G’day
Hi doctor nick!
Slowly on the mend. Work from home and a 3 day weekend should see me feeling better
Ted Cat tells me it’s breakfast time.
mrrrrUHP!
I feel terrible. I took melatonin last night so I could survive the 6am wakeup. I woke around 2:30 after having some weird dreams, like bumping into people this girl my ex studied with, and she congratulated me for breaking up with him and then basically told me about his new relationship? Lucky for him I guess, it was easy to move on. Then I parked my car at her rental property, which was empty, and she insisted on leaving the car keys outside the car despite having lots of theft in the area. I insisted on holding the keys. My car ended up getting broken into, and half a window was hanging out, but I drove home on some mysterious road that somehow connected to a freeway near my house.
I couldn’t sleep until 2 hours later. I don’t know how I’m going to survive a real job, but maybe the consistency of waking up early will help. No more melatonin.
Personally I find melatonin is better for making yourself fall asleep earlier on time, rather than fall asleep when it’s too late. So for example if you want to start falling asleep at 8pm and you don’t feel remotely sleepy that’s when you take the melatonin. Better for correcting sleep phases than actually helping you sleep like a sedative. Bad side effects are feeling like crap in the morning and weird dreams… btw I think your dream could be interpreted quite creatively as an allegory about trust and boundaries.
As someone who has been notoriously bad at waking up early and never been a morning person I will say that having a regular job that gets you out of the house will eventually help get you used to it. Money is a great motivator.
Just remembered that I need to be up early tomorrow but I’m currently half way through Die Hard 3 with an open beer.
What do?
🦪
put movie on pause , put down beer, go to bed
I know that you’re right, but I really don’t want to do it :(

Good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
I feel significantly better today. Still need a holiday, but I’m not teetering on the edge of a breakdown today
So glad to hear it. Book in that holiday ASAP.
This is good to hear. I hope the weekend is a chance to refresh & reset.
Take it easy .
I went to Aldi with the kid other day and I compared the pair between her and her dad in the way they shop.
The man: He pushes the trolley so I can concentrate on my list. He is slow. He likes to look at everything. He says it’s because he doesn’t come that often. By the time I’ve reached the end he’s still sniffing and fondling the fruit. I have to walk back to the trolley constantly. He doesn’t forget anything. He browses quietly except for the odd “should we get this” or “didn’t you say we needed this”.
He scans. I pack. He loads everything in the car. Returns the trolley.
The kid: She pushes the trolley. She likes to look at everything. She’s quick but likes to point everything out. “Can I have this” “put it in” “can I have this” “put it in” “can I have this” “whatever”. Eventually she stops asking because I’m not even looking. I’m concentrating. I may have forgotten stuff. She costs me an extra $50.
She scans. I pack. I push the trolley to the car, load it and return the trolley.
Question: Which one would you prefer to shop with, the slow poke who does everything for you or the octopus who doesn’t hold you up?
Ps. They shop together quite often. I can see why it takes them so long to get back from buying ice cream.
I think I’d prefer the slow poke, but I am conflicted. I did learn eventually to NEVER shop with my bloke. He was a menace in colesworth - filling up entire trolleys with stuff that caught his eye but nothing on the agreed upon list. He was also a ‘specials’ victim of the worst possible stripe. The incident of the 10 2 litre containers of vinegar still scars me to this day (But it was on special!).
We ended up with me doing the household staples and frozen stuff, and him doing the fresh food - separately. So I’d give him a vague list and tell him to come back with 5 kg (or whatever) of animal protein and 5 kg of fruit. He could choose what sort for each. We did have a productive veggie patch so we really only bought spuds & onions as staples. I think this satisfied his hunter/gatherer instincts better than an exact list. And enabled me to keep my temper better. And relieved the pressure on the pantry storage. And enabled me to keep better tabs on what was in the freezer and how much room was left for new stuff.
Hahaha. The vinegar 😂. I can relate. I might say I’ve run out of paper towel and he’ll come in with 5 packets because they were on special.
He also buys the fruit on his way home. I’ll ask for a capsicum and he’ll come in with a bag full because they were cheap and he doesn’t want to look like a tight arse buying just one.
For me the quick octopus.
Can’t stand spending any more time in there than needed.
I love them both, just different.
When I shop in person and have the list I don’t wander the aisles at all, just go straight to what I want then leave.
Tho I do love to browse somewhat at QVM. See new and unusual foods and check for quality and prices.
I must introduce you to My People
Probably the quick octopus for the same reason as Bottom, but then I’d prefer not to have the extra expense (and inevitable junk food, if it was my kid). It’s a dilemma. Maybe send them both and you stay home and relax?
E: Although, it’s Aldi and the checkouts get frantic so it would be nice to have help with all that, and not have to return the trolley 🤔
I admit I like quick shop so much that I forget stuff sometimes which is just bad luck cos i ain’t going back. They both pick up the slack when that happens.
Slow poke, any day. I tend to do my shopping quickly and deliberately and am happy to be slowed down.
If I go shopping with someone else that goes quickly, we’re bound to miss half the list.
Don’t need to duplicate my own faults.
a smol first harvest of chilies and some lettuce , can’t wait to eat those chilies after they have ripened a bit more on the windowsill 😊
Have been sleeping terribly lately so took 1/2 a sleeping pill last night. Got a decent amount of sleep but had a nightmare that included both work stress AND an alien invasion where they took over people’s bodies. Thanks, brain
Brains … 🧟♀️
The scary thing was, you couldn’t tell who was taken over
maybe some kind of red hat would help to indicate the taken over aliens
