So gross and sticky and yuck and ugh and bleah and thank fuck for some cooler weather on the weekend. I am OVER this heat. I don’t want to do my dishes or cook… feel like a petulant child. Waaah.
Fucking aye!
Preach
Last week I got an email from the casino (haven’t been in about 6 years) that I have $700 in the cage that they’ll send to the revenue office if I don’t collect it. Just collected it. 😎 Free money that’s not actually free, score.
just saw the trailer for Renner and honestly, that is an adult Malcolm finally snapping and going off his shits. And you can’t convince me otherwise
Treating a BIBLICAL fungus gnat plague right now. This warmth and humidity has clearly horned them up.
They’ve definitely been going into overdrive over the last month, I thought I had vanquished them all but clearly not. The gnat traps have harvested many victims so far
Why don’t more women use a BBQ to cook.? Or is it just that way in my small sphere of life experiences, in which males dominate that space?
I’m not sure but I ain’t letting my ol’ boy near the bbq carbon isn’t nutritious.
Men like to think that it’s some sort of special craft while women silently think “I can do that on my stove” but are happy to let someone else stand there to cook. Anyone.
My mum barbeques more than my dad does, because she cooks more. My dad will only bbq to help out in bbqs, but my mum uses it more generally.
It’s a man’s job to be handed everything he needs already prepared so he can burn it to within an inch of charcoal and proclaim that he has cooked dinner for the family. But jokes aside, I use our baby weber q more than he does. I don’t do a bbq as such but I’ll use it for a roast, pizza, bread or even as a substitute oven on days like today so I don’t heat up the whole house.
Women do use bbqs, we just manage it without an audience. And without expecting gushing praise for cooking a simple meal.
because I use the grill indoors
Men like things that they think are estoteric. Same reason why:
- housework is “woman work” but doing outside work is “man work”
- women are “good at admin” but the c-suite is male dominated
- “cooking in a kitchen” is a “woman’s job”, but “being a cook/chef in a restaurant” is a “man’s job”.
As soon as one can excel in a certain area or skill, and make money from it, it becomes male dominated.
See: sexism.
Also, regarding BBQs, women do most of the prep and make salads and stuff, and the man sits outside with his beer and mates and “cooks” the woman-prepped meat/skewers on the bbq, occasionally turning it.
Note: necessary “not all men” so I don’t get piled on lol
2nd one went better i think. And now I have another tomorrow lol
This is little miss bossy boots of the strays
Man those DNA tests sure are fucking expensive…
apple, plain yogurt and some savoys. Afternoon tea of champions. Dont know why the combo works but it does!
When the conditions are right … No wonder my compost has been sprouting tomatoes

PSA for anyone with pets, seems like a microchip database company has gone out of business. Doesn’t really say what you can do to check if it affects your pet, maybe check with your vet?
for those wondering:
- it’s not Central Animal Records
- Central Animal Records are offering a registration pathway
Melbcat is thankfully registered with a different company but good to know
Was a bit nervous for the 1st one. Not too hopeful, but I think the 2nd one should be better. 🤞🏾
🤞🏼
So it appears that I’ve been successful in my interview last week. It’s about a 2 month contracting process, but both my managers are happy to be referees.
More money, longer contract and more importantly, no one reports to me!!!
@Gibsonhasafluffybutt good luck today. You got this shit.
Congratulations!! They’d be remiss not to recognise your competence.
Also:
no one reports to me
Worth its weight in gold.
rock and roll
Woo!
That’s the long term plan :)
Yay, congrats! That’s excellent news! 🥂🍾
This is wonderful news. So happy for you. 💐🍾
Thank you, still have to go through some governmental hoops until I get the formal offer, but already have stuff in writing.
Feels pretty good actually.
oohh so you’re locked in pretty much?
Essentially yes. They’ll be sending me my remuneration package, once I accept it, they do reference checks and such (standard gov stuff), then my role gets their big chiefs endorsement, then I get the formal offer.
Unless I say no, which I’m unlikely, or their big boss not sign off (also unlikely), locked in.
Beers on you then :)
Congrats!
I had a pina colada
Mixed with ice and wine
Now my brain is nada
I can’t finish this rhymeBut do you like getting caught in the rain? I bet your not into health food but you are into champagne.
I’m not into Yoga and the half brain questionable. Haha.
Sadly my brain is nada
But no pina colada
Gym complete. Need food and possibly an iced coffee
How is it only midday? It’s going so slowly today.
I just had this thought right before I read your comment. How is it only 2pm when it feels like it should be 4?
I know right? And it’s still dragging on…
