Annnd I have the worst buyer’s remorse… The level of it is a surprise. I haven’t not bought wanted not needed items before, but this…

(There is a little bit more to it which I think blew it up. I somehow bought the wrong side (there is L/R and I clearly stated which side when I arrived) and no one picked it up, including myself until I got home.)

I think it’s because I wasn’t 100% and I overrode myself. I’m also usually super fussy as hell and was a blasé.

Lesson learned. I should have stayed with my gut.

Can you exchange it?

We’ll try today. Downside is that it wasn’t immaculate when I took it and I didn’t think to actually ask, which is not like me. And if I had of, it would have been picked up.

It’s not 100% the end of the world, but it’s definitely a downer.

So I've been looking for a low (er) sugar teriyaki sauce for ages and found this. Taste isn't too bad. Definitely not the cheapest though. Yes I know I could make my own sauce but I'm too lazy.

Got my socks wet on my way to work this morning and they've still not dried even though I've stuck of to the loo to try dry them under the hand dryer a million times.

Well now that FRL is officially cancelled I suppose I should find something to do this weekend...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh damn.. I just looked into what this is and listened to some of the groups in the lineup and that seems like a good vibe. I might keep a note of this one. Sorry to hear it's cancelled :(

It's been running for over 15 years but it seems like Council and this new cop in Wangaratta decided to shut the whole thing down less than a month out. It's been chaotic with the emails and backchat. The organisers are famously disorganised and prone to magical thinking as well though haha. At least all the money has been refunded

Aww man. We were probably going to head up to that... Council forced organisers to cancel apparently? Any idea why?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Given how close it is to the creek and how flat the land is, council probably wants a good flood plan in place in case it rains. Wangaratta is a known flood prone area.

This Conference isn’t a patch on last year’s. Let us see if day 2 improves…
