Treat yourself to something nice today. You deserve it. xxx
Thanks for all the congratulations on the unit acquisition yesterday. I’m still settling into believing it’s real, especially after two let-downs.
It’s going to be strange not obsessively checking the real estate sites and doing the rounds of the OFIs every Saturday.
Now to continue with Operation Sort Shit and decide what to take and what to dispose of.A temporary storage space like Storage King is your friend here I reckon. I found when I moved, that I just put everything I wasn’t sure about in that space, and only put stuff in the new place that I KNEW I wanted there. The doubtfuls were sorted later and a lot went to next generation family and to charity etc as I just didn’t have room for them in the new house. Ended up with the new place having ONLY stuff I wanted to keep. This really really helped my decision making on the other stuff. It also helped that the storage space was just up the road from a Vinnies which dramatically eased the actual disposal. Worth considering as a tactic.
I am lazy. I’d still have that storage space three years later. Paying rent on top of mortgage.
Off ‘sick’ today. I’ve earned it damnit.
I should have done the same. I’m standing on the corner of Struggle Street and the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
I wanted to today as well but the work would only pile up for me the next day which is even a busier day.
I really hate that I feel I can’t be off sick because of that.
That’s the reason I’ve taken like 5 sick days in 9 years and am drowning in excess annual leave.
Every day off I take results in about 1.2 days of extra work I need to catch up on when I get back 🫤
At least I’m very often solo in the office so my presenteeism doesn’t get others sick.
Yeah, this year the way things have fallen, my monday and tuesdays are loaded and if I’m not there the work just piles up.
The person I work with, while our roles differs, just leaves the massive backlog for me to maintain and this places so much pressure on me if I take the day off when I have a scheduled workload.
That’s what those sick days are for!
At home with allergies. Partial fib.
I don’t think I’ve suffered from hayfever this late in the season. Generally a spring thing and gone by Dec/Jan…It’s friggin March and I’m still dealing with it
Same! I haven’t sneezed so much this time of year
It’s the bloody smoke right now. Have taped all the doors etc up but my eyes hurt and am a sneeze monster. I could go in, but the walk to the bus would be vile.
love a soul day
Have a great day everyone ❤️
Naw
My haul of little tomatoes from the community garden to spice up my sandwiches.
I love putting these in a pasta and when I bite them, they go pop in my mouth. So much fun.
They’re pretty small sadly, been cutting them in half and popping them inside a sandwich.
I don’t think the ones I have will go very far with pasta.
They are yummy and sweet though.
Nothing wrong with that. I’ve done that heaps of times. Pepper and salt those babies. Yum.
pepper and salt on fresh cut tomato is heaven, even better if it’s from the garden
I have an interview tomorrow oooooooaahhhhhhggg why does it have to be warm tomorrow 😭😭
Look on the bright side, it’s better than being on Wednesday.
I’ve got one Wednesday lol
Then the place better have aircon!
Good luck. 🍀🍀🍀
Good luck! Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻
Listed some old PC parts on Gumtree, the first five minutes I get the standard “I want to purchase give me your email so I can send you a phishing link” quickly followed by an account called “support” with the gumtree logo telling me I had a pending offer and to just provide my email.
This was then followed up with a second “support” account trying a different scam, and one person doing the “I will send a courier” bit.
Gumtree is so shit.
any gpu better than a 1050ti?
Nope, sorry. Old motherboard, cpu, and ram. Haven’t replaced my GPU yet
Official first day of term for my Uni courses today. Time to knuckle down and get back into the studying.
TIL about “sad beige moms”. People so obsessed with image they turn their whole world beige ( and grey blue ) , including the world of their kids.
This is the answer And the sb moms deserve it.
When writing a report if you need the word sixthly switch to bullet points!
random musings (but basically instant pot FTW)
I got myself an instant pot for Christmas and it has been amazing on low energy / sad days. Today I was WFH and feeling terrible, but I managed to get rice on mid afternoon ((cup of rice, cup of water turn it on and wait for it to beep at me). Then I managed to saute some onions garlic etc, added lentils, random spices and some leftover tomatoes and I got yummo dal stew with the rice. Enough for a couple more meals too. And I feel much better for having eaten something hearty and homemade.
I realise when my energy is low I can chop a few things, but nursing multiple pots on the stove then cleaning them all up is too much. Having something that I can put stuff in and it does it all and just beeps when my stew/beans/whatever is ready is great.
Also been making yogurt in it which is also awesome.
I love this and it’s exactly why I love my slow cooker. Fry up a bit of meat and onion. Chuck it in with some other stuff and the end of the day I have meals. Absolute bliss.
That sounds awesome. I wonder if I can use my rice cooker in the same way. It’s a really good rice cooker with many settings.
ooh yeah maybe - people do all sorts of random things in rice cookers!
Alrighty. Halfway through preparation for interview on Wednesday. Shame it’s going to be 37 degrees so I’ll be ubering instead of PT so I’m not a sweaty mess.
That aside, if anyone has a ps5 controller with stick drift, push the analogue sticks down for 10 seconds, then turn clockwise for 10 seconds and again counter clockwise for 10 seconds.
It actually works and saved me 100 bucks
Good luck on the prep and upcoming interview 🍀🍀🍀
Thank you ❤️
A young brushtail just tried to have a go at Mr Woof through the glass of the back door! It was full on banging on the outside of the door right in front of him. Mr Woof is now outside doing a full security patrol while Miss Meow supervises from inside.
