      I didn’t know we had those in Australia! Have seen overseas but never here. The jumbo of the bee world.

      Edit: just realised your photo may not be from here. I’m slow today.

        They’re around, but not common. They’re solitary so you never see swarms of them. Tasmania has them in fair abundance.

      lol the local leos back in melbs has a wall of shame too (usually about 8 piccys from cctv). Feel sorry for the staff as they’re all kids and the thieves are pretty much 30+ which would be intimidating.

        This week will give me an estimation of how long that will take.

        Ultimately, if I can’t get a raise, I’m stuck here till I move house.

        In Victoria we have different laws for privacy with or without audio, I don’t think it’s unlawful unless the person wishes to take them for VCAT for a false accusation.

        It would fall under libel, meaning that they would have unlawfully besmeared your character if they are unable to provide solid proof.

        But you would have to initiate a case.

    Doesn’t seem like it’s going to be that hot today.

    Woke up to junkies screaming about someone stealing a cigarette.

    Soon. So fucking soon.

          Doesn’t seem like it’s going to be that hot today.

          Now 37 deg outside and the north wind is howling. Another 4-5 hours to go before the cool change.

          I will admit responsibility for the thunder & rain earlier - doing a load of washing AND watering all the plants probably triggered that.

            96 tram stop, bogan woman called me a mong for feeling a little intimidated by her poorly trained pitbull . I did a double take, like, do people still say that?

            96 tram, junkie partakes on the actual tram

              I had the opposite once on the 109 on Vic. street. Big junky with a huge pitty got on and sat down in front of me. Driver yelled out he wasn’t going anywhere if they didn’t get off. Whole time doggo was just licking my hand getting pats. Obviously if it changed its mind things wouldn’t have turned out well but it was very well behaved.

    Hot today. It would be great if you could all refrain from burning things, crashing cars, locking kids/pets inside cars, or doing anything else that forms a risk to life or property.

              I googled it because I have no idea what you’re talking about, and ended up with a face full of this.

                  Looks like the boys can freely dangle, I guess it relies more on natural convection than cooling.

      Suggestion: ditch the bra. Significantly more comfortable. I did a whole day’s fieldwork without one on under a work shirt, and it was glorious not having a sweaty garment tightly pasted to my chest area. Reduced underboob sweat is worth everything.

    Me withdrawing from the ATM…

    Finish the withdrawal, find 4 people lining up behind me to use said ATM.

    There are 2 more vacant and functional ATMs next to me.

    I don’t get why postgraduate students aren’t eligible for Myki concession fares. It would make sense if people were not underemployed after finishing their undergrad, and studying a postgrad part-time.

    But many of us are doing postgrad qualifications because the undergrad was kinda useless.
