So the go live was a disaster. to be fair it worked for the first 10 minutes or so. Its the 11th where we started to run into problems. Turns out when the vendor says "yep no worries". what they REALLY meant to say was "Yep? No. Worries!" We got lionel hutz'ed!

And now the blame game begins, but we cant do much when the vendor straight up lies, can we? I didnt pick the vendor or the product. And I'm MORE than happy to call the Vendor and say "Listen here fuckface, you screwed up BAD how are you going to fix it!?" but I dont think the business want me to do that for some reason.

Anti gratitude!

I cannot feel my toes. Left bread directly under the radiator to rise overnight. It sunk. Fragrant brick for breakfast.

Lack of insulation in this country is disgusting. Climate change is only going to get worse, and I'm fully expecting that people will die in their homes when it's too hot and too cold.

My buildings OC installed insulated windows in all the apartments, which has caused more condensation because they are airtight, and now it's the occupants responsibility to make sure mold doesn't occur ๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘. But there no insulation in the roof as far as I can tell, so we lose heat through the roof. Either we have the split system on, which is old and inefficient, and lose heat. Or we leave it off and stay cold AS FUCK all day and night. The only saving grace is having oodies.

Hate the way we build in this stupid cuntry

I went to the supermarket and spent money without feeling guilty for being frivolous and buying fruit.

Felt good.

The thing I'm looking forward to the most is moving into a place that has insulation.

Slept in - for me - until about quarter to seven then was pinned for an hour by the felines.
What a life, as the yiayia would say.

Thereโ€™s some sort of mass outage happening. Half the checkouts in Woolies Oakleigh wasnโ€™t working and a constant announcement complex wide alerting us of a technical problem.

The Rush hour on Triple M wasnโ€™t playing and came podcast only and have mentioned banks going down in the CBD and their own equipment wasnโ€™t loading to air on radio.

I wonder whatโ€™s going on.

Crowdstrike (core service) is down. Looootta shit hitting the fan. But on the up sky news is apparently utterly off air so cheers

Royal Exhibition Building bought top much of all the great alcohol and condiments from the stalls!

At a pub for drinks, getting Korean BBQ for dinner later.

So cold, but damn I love my MIL and her partner. Never thought I'd be a part of family that's so close and supporting ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’œ

Was up at 3am again today, but forced myself to go back to sleep until 7am.

Going out to see MIL today, so looking forward to seeing her. She's like the mum I wish I had. She always tells the story of when she first met me and knew her son wasn't coming back to Perth lol. Such a treasure of a human, and it's been a year and a half since we've seen her.

Unsure if I want to go to the footy with them tomorrow though, West Coast vs St Kilda iirc. MIL's partner goes for WC, she and my partner go for Freo, of course. Here I am, lil bomber supporter. I suppose, as a Victorian, I ought to go for the Saints.

The last time I went to the footy was back in the mid-late 2000s. My friend and her family were/are Carlton supporters, and it was Essendon vs Carlton. Essendon won that game, was close too iirc, and the drive home was AWKWARD! Took everything in me not to be all in their faces haha.

Windy. Had to brave the outside to trim some branches that the wind was blowing against the bedroom window. I considered if I could put up with it and do it tomorrow, but no, too annoying. In bed with electric blanket on now. Cosy.

Late night run last night to the strange and liminal spaces that is bunnings after dark. Why? Well, you see, his lordship accidentally hooked his spunding valve to the beer line on a pressurised keg ferment and we realised we really, really need all the furniture in the brewery to be on wheels so we can hose that room out if need be....

^but at least it really smells like a brewery now^

The piece of software that fucked everything up is one of a handful that companies use.

So thankfully not everyone has to deal with the current shit show.
