Just saw an insta story of a group of friends together that I’ve hung out with a few times during this year (not super close with them but neither are they with each other). We have a group chat used in the past to plan catch ups… not this time though. Maybe it’s just a coincidence they’re all together but can’t help but feel purposely excluded.
Time for a drink I think.
I was serving a customer before and the customer behind them started complimenting their tattoos. The customer gave us a tattoo tour, and then I left them to chat whilst I found the product they wanted. I like seeing wholesome exchanges :)
I’ve just seen something about everyone getting age verified for social media, not just kids. Not sure if it’s a reliable source but it’s got me a bit worried. I really don’t want to link my government id to social media.
I might have to download all my pics just in case I don’t get let back in. Overwhelming prospect.
Wow it's like I'm seeing double 😂
I love this song
I didn't know I needed to know about these, but I do. stab proof jackets
Friday night in Thornbury just got a lot more interesting.
Entered the new place today.
sad realisations
Oh man it is somehow a lot smaller and sadder than I remember. And the road noise is so much more noticeable than at my place. I'm not even sure my fridge will fit. E: I have gone back and measured and it will JUST barely fit. Thank fuck.
Like an idiot I didn't measure anything while I was inspecting (because it was tenanted).I am really, really cracking the sads right now back at my current place knowing how much I have to give up. It just doesn't feel like what I've worked for at all... Fucking rental market...Feels like I really am saying goodbye to a whole life in stages. Will any of it be worth it? I'm going to have to fast forward the chat with work about whether I'll be able to work primarily remotely after I finish uni. The only way I see out of any of this long-term is to move in with family to hyper save up a deposit. But the only family I can move in with is interstate.
I definitely need something to look forward to because after slogging it out for years to get residency and building a life for myself I'm really sad at having to shrink it so much. I'm ready to live more expansively. I've really sacrificed a lot to try and finish this degree and it's going so much worse than I expected...
And on top of that, couch guy has turned up only to find that it's too small for his car despite my telling him the dimensions ahead of time. So that's fallen through as well, arrrgh... what do I do now??? Pay someone on airtasker to take it?
Damn. The new Cure album is really good. Feel like I need to watch the Crow or something.
Going to ask the managers if I can max out or at least come close to maxing out my hours over the peak trade. Hoping they say yes! But they probably won't. I guess it will be worth a shot.
Blah. My internet is down. No cricket streaming :(
a Christmas Turkey has been ordered 🦃
If I’m standing there doing trade work let’s say, why do people think it’s ok to just stand there and watch me?
If you’re sitting there at your desk clacking away on your excel spreadsheet or whatever, and I saunter up behind you and just stare at you doing work, that would be considered kinda creepy.
Are people going through keyboards/mice like some sort of consumables?
I'm looking at reviews for a mouse, and something supposedly good about it is that it lasted some person four whole years. I've been using the mouse on my work PC for 15 years, it was the first Bluetooth mouse I purchased. I've been using this keyboard for 10 years, and the only reason I bought it was that I was no longer typing on my laptop keyboard. Side note: I would love to buy another one just like this one for home, but it doesn't exist any more.10 years with no signs of slowing in the next decade sounds right to me. 15 years for the mouse and the only reason I'm considering replacing it is I'd like one that can switch between multiple devices and maybe do away with AA batteries. Do people really go through peripherals quickly?
Everyone's home from work and I'm going to work. Fun times, hopefully won't be too busy, I say, knowing it's a Friday night.
I'm listening the "The Nightland" by WH Hodgeson. Don't know if I can stand the bondage and very sexual double entendres much longer. 🫤 I thought this was hard core science fiction gothic fiction. 🫥🤯😹
They are quite long slightly weird involved chapters that seem to be perfectly paced and timed to rub one out ...lol
" and she did rub me very skillful and gentle for a great hour until I was all refreshed and in verity she was a lovely wise maid. And surely when I was come again ..etc etc"
Neighbour's car won't start (sounds like a flat batter to me). It's a late 90s Commodore that's seen better day.
Old mate is swearing like a sailor in English and Croatian. Been going on for like a solid 30 minutes.
Ironically he fancies himself a handyman, and even my non-mechanical self can hear it's the battery.
Ahhhh work notifications are off, auto respond email activated, told people I'm out for till next Wednesday.
Hello music, Ps5 and catchup!
I ate at Yaki Jin in Kew this week. They do an all you can eat for $50. I like that their menu is not OTT, but pretty much has all the staples.
Meating in the CBD is similar, it because it’s more buffet style I always want to eat eeevvvrrrything, if I’m a little ambivalent about it.
Thinking I really dig Yaki Jin because I want to eat there again, like now. Hahaha.
I complained about being put on the spot, about me asking for her input and getting nothing and all after the day of crappiness yesterday, pointed out "sorry you feel that way" isn't really an apology. And now i'm the bad guy, and shes gonna call and tell people we are not going.
Great. Could've sat down and had a civil conversation about it rather than it become a fight and I sleep in the spare bed... Everythings gotta be a fight, and I am not into it.
TV Review. Paul T Goldman. Series. Stan.
This was really weird, like the weirdest thing I have seen for a while.
A misogynistic anti-social personality disordered man is prey to a con woman . He goes on the war path and his fragile ego leads him to invent a huge international organised crime conspiracy rather than saying to himself, "I was a foolish idiot and got ripped off because I am a hater who will believe anyone who panders to my prejudices". And then he write books and a screenplay, makes himself to be James Bond. He becomes a bit pathetic and it's more and more obvious he is not all there.
The last half hour is like that episode of Married With Children where the Bundys try to sell a story and the tv producers see through them easily.
It's easy to pity Paul, the disordered are often pitied because it is so obvious they are broken, until you remember he stalked people and slandered people causing real harm. He saved no one.
hobbits?? as a portrait of a personality disordered person, 4 hobbits
Wang Wang and Funi have returned home. I was fortunate to see one of them (I don't know which one) chomping away on bamboo for an hour. A very surreal experience. 🐼🐼
Woke up heinously early to watch a conference stream from the US .... Now the decisions - do i push through or sneak back for a last little 90 min sleep before the day starts... Yeah I am gonna have a sneaky extra sleep
So after the bullshit day I’ve had, this fucking Christmas thing comes back up again. My brother in law kinda got up my and the Mrs sat there are just said nothing despite multiple requests for her input.
Yeah… good thing we’ve got a couples therapy session coming up. To say I’m pissed off and hurt is an understatement.
