Let's see how much fuckery I get to deal with at work today.

Dark thought for literally the darkest day of the year: if the Titanic submarine guests killed the CEO, they could extend oxygen for another day.
It’s currently 5C but feels like 2.6C sounds about right 🙃
I voted open for the r/melb thing but it seems quite off now. Like you get your car back after it was stolen and even though you've got it back, it's just not quite the same..
In other news, throat is sooooore. Had about 100 lozenges. Hoping it goes away on its own, cbf going doctors :(
Very tempted to go for a swim at the (seemingly nice) hotel pool but absolutely no has gone in there.
Don't want to be 'that tourist'.. but it's so hot..
Milk was a bad choice.
Everyone's waiting for the first one. Be the leader you were born to be.
It's so warm in the office that I'm getting sleepy. This is why I don't like coming here all that much. The heater going full blast + sun from all of the windows. Is there a "one temperature fits all" that can be set? I reckon it's pushing 25 degrees in here, that's way too warm for most people.
Jesus Christ everyone on r/Melbourne is losing their fucking shit. It's like a gigantic mess of everyone going off at everyone else. It's horrible.
Car inspection was fine, had all the books and stuff but it's a no because he provided a fake name and was weird about providing contact details when I asked for them so I could have my mechanic set up an inspection with him.

Going to look at another car this arvo, really really hoping this one is actually good. I've had absolutely no luck on my car hunt and it's really bumming me out, I was suppose to have bought one by now but it's just not happened.
I'm Melbourne born and bred but I'm also a ride or die Queensland supporter in NRL State of Origin! Just wrapped up the 2023 series with an awesome win! I know I'm one of the few who pay attention to this stuff down here but still.. woooo!!
The police helicopter is getting a bit of a workout at the moment over the Whitehorse area.
Good lord. Even the tender process for Myki is a shitshow. Honestly though were any of those providers going to be good anyway? And who were we to think that we deserve a better PT ticketing system?
I'm kind of loving the attention on state government tender process (whether lead by liberal or labor, the process is the same). Finance admin specialist staff have disappeared from the units/ departments I've worked in over the last few years, and the finance/ procurement process is often pushed onto people who lack experience in these areas. I'd raised it with management and the union, but there's no legal requirement for staff handling those roles to have any set experience or training.
Feels like such a sin to have cake and ice cream on the same day but...
Air is warm and thick in JK. The toilet is very sophisticated, space age really.. it's got everything. Impressed but not convinced toilet needs a control panel.
Can someone tell me if they can see this comment...? Getting some weird errors from lemmy.world
Edit - thanks. Whatever I did, seems to have fixed it
