Melbourne

Why is it always fucking gastro? Who sends their kid to daycare with Gastro?!

This is the 3rd time in 8 months.

This is my favourite place on the internet ❤️

Back to work today. Poop. Guess the Void feels the same way.

• Mra-eow?
• Yow-eeeooowww!
• Brrrrii?

Awake at 5am. I hate non daylight savings.

Also it’s autism acceptance month. Seeing lots of promotion of it at work but no actual discussion of how they actually do anything positive to help people with ASD. Nor the fact that many employees hide it because they don’t want to become a target / be put in the spotlight. It’s also ironic that return to office is pushing ahead, when people with ASD often find corporate offices a sensory hell. (Apart from other issues like dealing with commutes etc)

This is perfect cat cuddle weather.

Now, to get the cat to participate is another story.

Twice in 5 minutes my dog's arsehole got too close to my property. First, he sat on my pen. Second, he back his arse onto my drink bottle lid. 😡

I am in the middle of screening papers for a systematic review. 1762 down, 1438 to go🙃

Watching SiteInspections YT again.

I can't help wondering how many dangerous buildings are out there without the owners knowing

If anyone was wanting to try period undies but cost was a concern, a particular print of a particular cut is currently $7 at Kmart.

The sizes are a little limited and I can't say I'm a fan of flowers. But that's very close to half price compared to the next option up.

Hey Melbourne drivers, the rain falling doesn't mean you turn off your brain.

Looks like I will get even more opportunity to play Jr Network engineer next month. I'm going to run ethernet into my rooms. I'm not at all a professional and don't want to deal with cable terminating or actually wiring things, so the current plan is to take a cable out the back of the router in the lounge room and feed it through a passthrough style wall plate, take it into an AP in room 2, then feed into a switch, then finally take another cable out of that through another passthrough wall plate and into a final wall plate in room 1. Not ideal, and I'm a bit worried about introducing latency, but I'm pretty sure that's the best option I've got for my skill level and what I'm allowed to do to the house. I sprung for gigabit cabling and equipment though, even though it's overkill. Partly in the hopes that it might alleviate some of the latency, but also partly because everything's going to stay here after I move, and it'll probably be a whole century before anybody touches the cabling again lmao

This 6pm sunset thing is no bueno. The extra hour of sleep was nice, but in a couple of months we'll be at a 5:30 sunset :/

You guys only do 1 emoji, but I did a whopping THREE cuz I'm just cool like that 😎😎😎

I still haven't gone back looking for the ginger ninja again, and may not have the energy to. I'm in a lot of pain, fighting to manage Melbcat's fiddly health, and facing fresh stressors with the cooked arseholes of my neighbourhood.

Edit: Guilt got to me. I went to check while Moobeans was sleeping, minding the crazies, and actually saw him. Unfortunately he was hanging out firmly on private property. I circled the block but those orange buns were planted in place and I refuse to get done for trespassing. So... Can't take him to the vet for the messed up eyes if he won't come out :/

I got home and Melbcat was awake, crying because I'd left. We're back on the bed now.

I just want to say the doritos chaos cajun chicken 'street art' chips aren't chaotic, cajun or chicken and it's not a street it's a bag of chips.

they're making things up

I just got a credit for an NBN outage....I would never have expected that.

Today's Health Report on Abc RN had a segment on painkillers and how they work. In hijjus detail. Worth catching it at 3 pm today or on the abc app. Veerrry interesting - particularly how the different ones work and interact. Recommended.

Hey @[email protected] assuming you are talking about the uninspiring frozen cordial that some Australians fantasise about and not the band I'll tell you what happened to them. Probably discontinued due to lack of sales. Unless you had a pair of sharp titanium steel scissors or prepared to gnaw through the packaging like a rat for half a day, they just weren't worth the work. If you were able to penetrate that possible carcinogenic packaging you then had to suck it like a mother's tit which would leave you with a giant ice block. Anyway I look forward to your next question.

*sorry if I crushed someone's nostalgia dream.

Stumbled onto something on insta that has become my comfort watching. Opening sports card packs from the early 90s (north american leagues). I used to collect cards around that time, and the nostalgia hits hard, but in a good way.

Went to the ebike expo yesterday and the biggest selling point for getting one was hitting every red light on Plenty Road on the way there

I’m going to the library. BRB

I have reed avocado and I am impatiently waiting for it to ripen. This thing is as big as 2 hass combined. Have never tried one hope the flavour is good.

Headed out last minute to catch a comedy show as a friend had spare tix. Was alright getting there, but leaving... Ahhh that biting winter wind of Melbourne. Without a puffer or any thermals. 🥶

Renewed appreciation for my warm and comfy bed just hearing the rain fall after a very exciting and hectic afternoon.

Would you believe I had yet another offer come through... at my current workplace?! Temp extra days for several months. On the one hand I could build some good cred/exp. It would probably round me out better.

OTOH, I honestly don't think I'd like most of role I'd be filling in, and the commute... I'm weak. If I didn't have this other option just nearby I'd have gone for it. But I just ain't doing 6:30 wake ups every weekday and dealing with disgruntled members of the public to boot 😬

Just had decaf coffee. Did I commit a crime?

The moon is getting shady.

Remember that simpsons episode where Lisa gets everyone to eat healthy and they get sick?

That's me today. Urgh.

Thinking about that quiet holiday suggestion from yesterday. I reckon it would take two weeks minimum for my brain to switch off.

or half an hour

I feel like the news gets even worse every time I watch it. Tonight's lead story: some lady spent 10 million bucks on a horse then cried and started talking about how the horse is AUSTRALIAN and will always be Australian
