Sleep study night. I am connected to all the wires. Time to try to sleep. Night all
Goodnight, hope you can get some answers!
No idea how anyone can sleep at all with all those wires and things. Luck!
For me, just over three hours left of lentish. I may have some intoxicated morning rants hitting around eleven am tomorrow. Be forewarned.
Edit: of the various vices I gave up over the last few weeks/months I think getting off reddit had the biggest impact, I’m looking to keep that up. Feels like it brings more negativity to my life than any traditional intoxicant.
Well done 👍
I’m actually keen for an early night. Hang out with fluffball and read for a while.
Goodnight all ❤️
Edit: Edit: I will not be working hard. I have learned my lesson. I will be enthusiastic and do slightly more then expected. There is no meritocracy in corporate.
Working hard is a terrible idea that leads to burn out and disappointment.
The only way to make more money most of the time is to leave and go elsewhere.

I have committed to organising the lasers for the sixteenth birthday party. Synthwave is the brief.
Pew pew
cool
good night everyone, I’m beat 😘
Sweet dreams.
Goodnight Seagoon
Had a nap after my whinge (thank you for your kind words 💜💜), then went to Savers and got two shirts for partner’s new job, and two pairs of jeans for myself for under $50 in total.
Then got a massive haul of groceries from Aldi. I transferred $120 to my paying card but it only cost ~$50 all up for all of it. Stuck in the expensive Colesworth mind lol
Edit: oh and I applied for a few shelters as a volunteer, hopefully I can get a place at one of them as it’s a requirement to have placement for the Cert IV in Vet Nursing 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Winning!
So a few months ago I stole an extreme;y expensive car from hard rubbish which I hoped would be a nice gift to bro and sil and their baby to be but it has gone back to hard rubbish 1 door down :(
Have to tilt your head to the right for next vid… working on it but WEEEEE! still worked… their loss.
spoiler
Really living up to your username.
Their loss mate. I’d drive that to work tomorrow if I could :)
It looks like it would be terrific fun 🙂
Ah the ol’ push start. Memories.
Assignments due in 10, 14, 16, 20 and 21 days. I will not procrastinate anymore. I feel like I’ve almost left the 10 days one too late. Time to break down each into steps and give meself some faux deadlines. I can do this.
I don’t know what’s better, multiple small assignments or one big hugely scary one due at the end. Good luck to us both!!
You’re almost at the finish line, go you!!
I wrote 5000 words in three days for my fourth year meta review submission draft date. You got this.
That would’ve been stressful. Go you!
Thanks, they’re like 2-3k words each so I will be bullshitting a lot.
Plump out that bibliography, makes it look like you did your research.
The change of seasons has well and truly finally hit. Feeling a bit of a cold-ish headache from not adjusting to the temp difference properly and returning to a whole day of desktop work after ages… Gonna buy some soup, chug hot herbal tea, and have an early night. This will be my last long work week before I throw myself at uni hardcore.
So, Peter Khalil dropped in today.
I went to the door expecting to have to shoo away a salesperson, and was so surprised that I couldn’t think of any good questions to ask at the time. I did say I wouldn’t be voting for Peter Dutton, though
On paper, Wills is a blue-ribbon Labor seat - Bob Hawke’s old seat.
But a third of voters there went Green in 2022. He should be getting out and meeting people/listening to them. They can’t take this seat for granted any more.He did seem a little nervous that I might vote for the greens, lol
I’m being punished for leaving Melbcat inside this morning… she now won’t let me in the bed!
I tried a YT short recipie for dins tonight. Mostly for shits & giggles, but it worked. Chicken ‘fried’ in water. I used drumsticks cos cheeep so no weeping if I had to toss it. It was quite nice. Will do this again, but with the recommended wings. Sauce was gorgeous in texture but I should have used a tad bit more chili and less mustard. Worth trying.
Ooh, this sound interesting. Mind chucking me the link? Thank you!
But not followed exactly. The sauce was amazing - if doing it again I would reduce the salt to the absolute minimum as the soy sauce does enough salt. Also the vidjo had the water boiling very vigorously, I did it at a lower temp so not so violent. Took about 1/2 hour all up. Doing this again, I’d put no more than 1 cm depth of water - ample to cook the chook, and quicker to evaporate. But this is subject to further testing.
Sorry for the delay - just got home from work.
We have a reply all fail. Brace yourselves.
How funny is it?
Hilarious given it’s about Security
About Catfishing?
oh dear
anyway …
is that in an out of office autoreply loop
Not yet…
A suicidal jam jar leapt out of the pantry to its doom on the tiles. Red sticky jammy glass everywhere. Great fun to clean up.
Oh dear. I hope it was not too full.
This possibly happened to maintain the balance of jam jar karma within the DT, as I had the good fortune to pick up a good (empty) jam jar from the food cupboard this morning, The universe added to my jam jar collection and took from yours.
This does not account for the jam, or the karmic effect incurred in cleaning up the mess. Which is a very high value as sticky jam plus glass splinters is major. Jam by itself - wipe it up. Glass by itself - sweep/vac & blutack. Both, however, is an existential crisis as the mess can neither be wiped nor swept. Even rubber gloves are not safe from the splinters. And don’t even mention the vacuum cleaner.
On the other hand, underwater magpies has incurred a major karmic benefit in cleaning it up. This far outweighs the serendipitous collection of a clean empty jar. I wonder how the universe will balance the scales.
May the whole DT find a really nice empty jam jar today. For this jar was unopened and full of quite nice strawberry jam.
I’ll have to do a second round of cleaning later, just in case. I’m not convinced I’ve got it all.
How would you safely handle cleaning that up?
Maybe by picking up the largest pieces, scraping the jam up with an old credit card, and then mopping for the stickiness and tiniest shards?
I went with picking up the biggest bits, then using a couple of containers from the recycling to scoop the worst of it. Then a few layers of paper towel and a gentle action on the worst bit, swept around the least jammy bits, and mopped. I’ll go back and vaccuum presently.
I don’t recommend giving it a go.
Today I saw a guy with a Simple Jack haircut.
