RIP Felicia. She’s had it hard… Good that your mechanic has some cars ready, so much easier than trawling carsales and traveling all over Melbourne.

I’m sorry to hear about your car after all this time.
What happened to engine that made it a write off?

Not sure if it was here or reddit where I saw it recommended, but the virtual ED service is awesome. Unfortunately had to use it today and call an ambulance. I wasn’t sure if it was serious or not, so this service was just what I needed.
Hope this post lets more ppl know about it.
Oh wow. I just looked it up. That’s great. I have been stuck in the past unsure what to do and that would have been the right level of support.
Hope you are doing ok.
Hope everything turned out ok. hugs
This lightening is wicked!
Woken up by a giant raindrop hitting my face. Was very confused until I woke up a bit more and closed the window lol.
So my ADHD medication definitely needed to be reduced. Was starting to have weird interaction with the new anti depressent.
Forgot to reduce this morning and I felt like Id had 10 cups of coffee in a row.
Reduced this evening and am feeling really good. Hopefully things settle the next few days so I can start the job search again next week 🤞🏾
🤞
I understand it can take a while to adjust to such medication - particularly two at once. Hoping it all works out for you.
I don’t know if it’s my shoes, new undies or the weather but everything I touched in Aldi gave me a zap. I apologised to the near by shoppers who heard me say FUCK while reaching for the rice because it hurt.
I did not get a stick vacuum nor a carpet cleaner and I’m unimpressed.
you’d better not come near me because when it’s zap season i zap everyone every few minutes
I have zapped my husband way too many times. He always asks “what is wrong with you?”.
Should go up to him and go zappity zap zap zap and touch him.
Might traumatise him after though.
I have! Unintentionally though. While he’s pushing the trolley I’ve grabbed his arm to make him stop and zzzapp. It hurts him too.
My husband and I accidentally zap each other quite often, and we joke that it’s the electric chemistry between us.
I hate car zaps so much. Can’t open the bloody door without being jolted.
Cat zaps are also a problem
Bill Cat is becoming jealous of Ted. If I pat and scritch Ted Bill comes running and boofs his way in. Bill doesn’t like Ted sleeping too close to me either.
I think much more cuddles for both of them is required I think.
Argh. Got a bit of a situation - interviewed for a role and they have come back and said I am a preferred candidate, but they want to follow up with reference checks. I have provided all my former managers but they said it’s company policy to interview a current manager and something they need to move forward in the process… My current manager doesn’t know that I am looking for work and they’ve also had a few people leave the team lately (they are also kind of the culprit as to why) so I’m a bit stressed about having to bring this up with them. Any ideas?
Very simple. Decline the request. It’s a stupid request and most sensible organizations don’t ask. Say to them doing this could jeopardize your current role. Ask them for alternatives to prove your current role is real i.e. copy of letter of offer, contract etc.
If they don’t accept this company is probably shit anyway.
That seems like a completely unreasonable request. Most people do not want to tell their current employers they are looking for other work and to insist that you do so because “policy” is bullshit. If they are that unreasonable and inflexible in their hiring process I would be pretty concerned about working there - you could end up going from the fire into the frying pan with that move.
You can say that you’re uncomfortable in providing that information as the manager has shown a vindictive side in the past and is one of the reasons you’re looking to move on.
I probably wouldn’t get that specific, keep it more general like “this could jeopardize my current position”.
Last night I made some caramel to go with a cake my partner baked. Melted sugar and butter, the food version of napalm.
And I splashed the tiniest droplet of it onto my thumb knuckle - worst pain I’ve felt in a long time. I immediately ran it under cold water for 20 minutes and kept it on ice for the rest of the night, and it’s looking pretty wack tbh
my thumb now - not Gorey, just a blister
Owwww. Sugar cookery is plenty dangerous imo.
Definitely! It was funny, I was showing my partner how to make it, and to be careful because it’s so incredibly hot, nek minit I do this haha there must always be a blood sacrifice when I cook apparently lol
Oh yeah. Molten sugar is on par with fucking lava
Ouch! And caramel isn’t even hard crack
pretty confident I got a stomach bug. 0 outta 10, would not rate.
Hydralyte and/or Gatorade (or similar)
Good luck homey
smashing the teas which seems to be helping so far. Oats for lunch was a strange call, but made me feel heaps better.
Oats are good. Fairly neutral on the digestive system, filling and can absorb stuff (maybe, I dunno)
Miss Meow has been helping me sort out my sewing room and is firmly of the opinion that I should throw out more stuff and keep the empty boxes.
Dan Murphys has jars of Italian maraschino cherries for like $6 and they’re so good. I’ve just been eating a few of them each day from the jar even though I’m sure they’re meant to go on top of drinks.
You gotta make some better snacks in the oven or something or make pickles. Kimchi or something. Maraschinos are too like, preserved and also sugary and dyed 😅 not judging
They would go lovely in a black forest cake
gees, you know you’re tired when you fall asleep while sitting up
Rego and car insurance due. It’s gonna hurt.
Just paid all that myself recently on top of everything else.
Really really hurts right now.
My bank account got torn a new one.
If you have just paid rego then you should get most of it refunded. I managed to total my last car on the first day the registration started and got the whole year’s worth back.
Unfortunately the insurance premium does not get refunded - and if you pay monthly they will deduct the rest of the year’s premiums from your payout figure, which can be a bit of an unexpected sting.
Oh no. My car’s actually ok.
I had to replace the battery today which wasn’t planned so it’s made things really tight.
I’ve actually emerged from my apartment to go into the CBD and it seems like I’ve caught the cool change. It’s rather pleasant out!
