New house is a hit
I really need to see void use the sun roof.
Not the same box, but
Hahaha
I presume the words on the side originally read “this place gives a cat”.
That is a bit of a fancy place. Every void deserves to have accommodation that nice.
I made an Aldi post in [email protected] if you could contribute that would be great. Thanks.
Done.
Welcome to 2024 everyone. Glad to see you all here
We are making predictions for the new year at work. I’m tempted to predict that Uluru will turn out to be a giant egg that hatches out a giant monster that eats the world. With everything that’s been happening over the last few years it doesn’t seem that unlikely.
Happy New Year (again) from us all.
Happy new year everyone 🥳
Goals:
- Increase salary 30%
- Regular gym and balanced diet again
- Get deposit sorted so I can buy a place by end of the year
- Go on more dates (typically, this is the hardest one lol)
Happy NY Gibson! There’s also a NYE reflections and resolutions post in the main area if you’re interested
P.s how was the monkey bar?
Fuck me i think I just nearly got blown up
Some knob set fireworks off in the middle of a park… Between hundreds of people… And they didn’t do it right so the fuckin things flew at us… Explodey bits came less than 5 metres from my face
They’re illegal for a reason, they’re bloody dangerous. Glad you’re ok!
They are indeed
oh dear, at least you are safe now 🤗

You might as well face it, you’re addicted to spuds.

Back to work tomorrow. Already plotting an excuse that keeps me working from home instead of going in to an empty office.
Happy new year everyone :)
This is your junior DT reporter Baku T. Baku here live from the scene of flinders street station with your hourly trains update. The current situation here at flinders street is still pretty busy, trains on most lines are now dropping back from a 10/20 minute frequency to an hourly one, however even with the extra services metro has failed to clear everyone out.
Over the last 10 minutes here at flinders street, I’ve observed a train reach capacity and have staff blocking off the doors because people just couldn’t fit in the train anymore. We also currently have delays of anywhere between 10-40 minutes because of earlier congestion. Trains on the Pakenham line earlier this morning hit a peak of departures every 1 minute and still weren’t able to cope with the sheet demand from all the NYE revelers attempting to get home.
Trains on all lines are currently very full, a problem which is only set to worsen as the network drops back to an hourly frequency. Platforms are also extremely congested.
That’s all I have for you for now. I will bring you further updates as the situation develops.
Back over to you, Seagoon

If you can get an Uber DM me with your name & email addy and I’ll send you a gift card to cover some of the costs. You’ll need to let me know in the next 15 mins though as I’m heading to bed then
Thanks so much for your offer! I appreciate it. I actually don’t mind just floating about, it’s pretty peaceful this time of night (away from the city anyways). But thanks again for the offer, you’re a kind soul
I totally understand as a night owl. This time of day is beautiful. Just stay safe yah? I’ll be up until 3:30am if you change your mind :)
Always!
Have a train to bid you a restful sleep
Happy new year motherfuckaaaz. I am so proud of myself for pushing through with some long procrastinated on items even if it was cutting it really close to the end of the year. Still made it to my friend’s thing and downed two wines and a shot of mead and some questionable dancing later, got home safely and flumped in bed. Lights out very soon.
I will wake up to a clean and comfy house with no dead plants, a nice and tidy kitchen, food in the fridge and pantry, and a lovely smell of blackberries from the candle I lit earlier. Good night 🥱

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a good night, stayed safe, and did not yourself up for too bad a hangover.
You too Ravey! I did indeed, for the most part
Have a train, compliments of the house
P.s did your alarm go off?
The alarm did not go off, but now it is showing that the next alarm is midnight tonight (again with no actual alarm set). A bit perplexing, and annoying because I now can’t see when the next real alarm is set for. Maybe I need a new alarm clock app for the new year.
Do you just use the default one? What sorta phone you got?
It’s an app called “Alarm Clock Plus” on Android. I like it because you can remove the snooze button option and set a graduated alarm with flashing light and vibration, so there is no jarring sudden noise and I usually wake up long before it starts making any real sound.
Maybe try clearing the cache? That will leave all your alarms intact. If that doesn’t work, clearing data should fix it, although that will wipe your alarms and settings. Probably still easier than migrating to a new app though
You can do the above by going to your settings and finding “installed apps” (or maybe “applications > installed apps” depending on your phone), finding your alarms app, clicking it, and then either clicking clear cache/data or “storage and cache”. If it says storage, that’s the same thing as data and will clear all saved settings. Cache just removed temporary files and fixes an astounding amount of problems
I solved it!
When I updated my Microsoft account for work recently it attached a file of public holidays into my calender app, which apparently also had reminders set. There must be a connection between the apps somewhere because when I de-selected that from the calender the phantom alarm notifications went away.
I have cleared the cache and data. Then I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app entirely. It still has a phantom alarm!
Check to see which time zone is the default. If the app is working on USA time …
no giant meteor hit me in bed
Redyed my faded black Converses yesterday, they’ve come up looking basically brand new.
What did you use? I used to see dye pellets for clothes and shoe dyes in the supermarket when I was a kid, but they seemed to go the way of coffee grinders at the end of the coffee aisle.
Rit all-purpose liquid dye, following the instructions for cotton (adding salt), just from Woolies.
Decided fixative is not necessary given they won’t be regularly washed but we’ll see how that goes, lol. Might need to stick with dark socks for a bit.
Official guide here but the rubber parts on mine are black so I didn’t need to tape anything.
Many supermarkets still have black, but you’ll need to Spotlight/Lincraft for other colours.
Thanks for that 🙂
Cat harness for Ted Cat has been bought. Then we can go for walks without worrying about escape or me being shredded.
Incoming flat cat
Or somersault cat.
I’m thinking Taz devil cat.
