    At long last, I finally got my results for the Cursed Paper of Doom and managed to scrape through an H1 despite a shambles of a presentation - keeping my final score for this dragged-out degree to a low H1. Woohoo!!!

    Goodnight all. Got a 7am start, which means I’ve got to get up at… counts on fingers early. Starting early because finishing early to take Miniest to a meeting at what will hopefully be her (and my) secondary school of choice. Sweet dreams 😗

    Interesting new clothing shop(?) just opened in Bridge Rd Richmond. Called Infinite Apparel. It’s sort of a subscription service for clothes. You pay a monthly subscription, and choose clothes from their racks - number of items depends on subscription size - eg $50 per month for 5 items and 1 pair of either shoes or sunglasses. At end of month you drop off or mail back the clothes and pick out new items to take home. They clean them thoroughly and put those items back on the racks for other users. Sort of a circular shared wardrobe.

    Clothing quality is very high - natural fibres, well made and in perfect condition. The current stock is clearly skewed to the young adult male - say 20s to 30s who want to look stylish and wear a variety of quality clothing at a cheap price. Most of it is smart casual/casual. I reckon they’re targeting office workers with very little closet space and who haven’t the space/time/inclination/skills to do maintenance on quality clothing. Colour range is about half office-uniform neutrals, and about half brightly coloured.

    If you’re a standard size this might actually be a way to dress nicely at a predictable price without getting bored with your current wardrobe. Plus the laundry service of course. Short term business visitors to the city might also find it useful.

    I hope they do well.

      this reminds me of a pawn shop

      I imagine some kind of deposit will be required so people don’t just take the clothes

        I’ve just had a bunch of request for access to files…which is fine, but there’s a process. Same people who are requesting access, cannot be bothered replying to my emails that are part of the process.

        Guaranteed I’ll be getting messages tomorrow on how they still can’t access documents.

        Absolute fucking tools.

            Gets better. I’ve only been in this role like 4 months AND only 2nd time going through this process.

            They’ve been at it for like 6 years and about a dozen projects.

            It’s the same process each and every time.

    Seeing as I was the only one in the house this morning as my parents start work at 7, the dog did his whole bark and growl thing, and started walking on me. 😍

              Enjoying Dept Q on the Netflix, despite the Scottish accents (nicely turned down though).

              Boondocks. Only ever seen S1 so going through 2 and 3.

              Nathan For You, only ever seen the first season and a half.

              Gonna watch Ironheart, cause apparently it’s not that shit.

    I had the opportunity to see Ozzy and his band play live in the 90’s. He was very energetic and sounded great. Other bands that played were System of a Down, Rob Zombie, Black Label Society, P.O.D, and Deftones. Many others I can’t remember. It was a great day and at least I got to see him play.

        I actually wish I saw Ozzy in the 80s after he left Sabbath and had Randy Rhoads as guitarist.

        Alternately, I would have loved to see Sabbath with Dio on vocals, which I consider just as good,

        I’m not a huge deftones enjoyer but I get the appeal. They definitely have their own cool style of sound but it just never hit with me.
