    WHEW, I was getting a bit anxious there but it was just an HR delay… got the contract and I start tomorrow!!!

    Fuck me today’s a bad day to have a hell of a headache though, the “how to be normal and sociable” part of my brain is QUITE atrophied after 3.5 months of funemployment and honestly 4 years of a job that became increasingly isolated and let everyone descend into being slobs 😂

    I need to snap out of my NEET mode pronto. Packed lunch, when’s the last time I did that?!

    It went well with my friend yesterday.

    I was upfront and said that I just wanted to give him some space and he understood.

    He said it’s cool and there’s no need to on my end.

    In other news, I tried playing an online game with another friend. Never again. He’s one of those guys that takes it waaaaay too seriously. Shame.

      We’re gonna get along GREAT. Just out of curiosity how quickly and frequently can you spam the “Reinforce” buttons to call down replacement squadmates who accidentally took a hit from their own orbital bombardment?

        Super fast! Man I love this game and I never play online stuff. It’s so well made and you can just pick it up and play for a bit then walk off.

    I have a confession. I love Ted Cat. I was reading and looked down and saw him sleeping leaning against my feet. He does that a lot. 🥹 And he’s such a funny cheeky brave little guy, even if he is a little chonky.

      Not a compliment indeed. The classic short back and sides with (by the sound of it) extra raggedy bits. Um, I don’t think I’d go to this barber again. Surely there must be others near you?

          That’s good to hear - options are always good. I been told I look good in hats, so when I get a shit haircut I reach for the hatstand as a first option. Then choose a better hairchopper as time and budget permits.

      I got a dead rat gift last week. And a live mouse gift yesterday. 🎁 I know I should consider myself blessed, but I had to laugh at the look of disgust Ms black cat gave me when I told her those kinds of gifts are for outside only as I shooed her out the back door.

              Yes. Skyclad is the way to go but may not be advisable in the cbd or inner suburbs. A good alternative is to wash the windows. This rarely fails in my experience.

                I did wash the windows two days ago. This should work.

    Apparently my daycare did a “Lockdown” drill today. Got me thinking how quickly I could get down there with a cricket bat. Assuming I FLOG the SHIT out of the car (which of course, you would), reckon we could turn a 10 minute drive into 2 if I disabled all the safety systems on the car.

    And that is an ABSOLUTLEY terrifying thought. How do people have kids in America!?

      Lockdowns are more scary for the parents than they are for the kids. My daughter’s primary school was in lockdown because a brown snake entered the yard so not all intruders are 2 legged.

      It’s a standard drill now. I suspect this is a hyperbolic comment but please do not put yourself and other peoples lives in danger by “flogging it” and then adding to the confusion at the site amongst emergency responders.

      Imagine yourself as a police response unit encountering a man rushing into a daycare with a cricket bat.

      worst drill I saw was a nuclear attack drill

      this happened in downtown detroit when i lived there 12 years ago

      the public wasn’t told, it was a services and government drill

      thanks guys, we were just expected to die

    I did another load of laundry and moved stuff to vacuum an entire room then passed out until 3/4 am. (After sleeping the whole day before that.) So tired. The little lovebug is cuddling and purring.
