I know this is an odd thing to complain about, but I don't like how Amazon doesn't charge instantly when I order stuff. It feels like the non credit version of a credit card. They don't seem to take their money until 12:30am on the day of delivery, and I really don't like that they do that. It feels like they're encouraging me to spend money I don't have/shouldn't spend. I don't have overdraft so I guess it's not that bad, but still. If they took their money instantly, I'd know okay, I have exactly $x left
My bank when consulted on online gives me a total balance, and an available balance figure. That is, any pending payments fill up the gap between the two figures. Maybe your bank does something similar if you ask them nicely??????
@[email protected] lunch box and snacks please when you're ready. Just getting ready to head to work now

It's gotten to the point where it's too cold to get out of bed, but it's also too cold in bed so I just kinda push through and get up anyways
No one happens to have a resin 3d printer? I can't get replies from any of the facebook ads for it. I'm looking to print a DnD mini, pro places seem to want $50+ for it, I can get it posted from hero forge for that, and I don't want to spend that much.
Had to battle the ring road at peak hour this afternoon. Haven’t had to do it in a long time and can report it’s as stuffed as ever. Glad its not a daily commute. Dinner saved the day, lamb cutlets, mash and veg followed by an apple crumble.
the ring road
Just gave me flashbacks to Dad losing his shit at morons and bad drivers while driving along that road 😂
I mean, he still does it, but now it's Eastern Freeway. He just can't help himself lol!
TV and Movie review.
Locke and Key, Netflix. Billed as the next Narnia, it was not even close. Not really a kid's show, not really an adult's show either. Might have been a lot better if it was all done from the kid's perspective. 2 hobbits.
The Long Trench, Netflix. Life under Franco's fascism. So many lives wasted.
Please think hard who you vote for at the next election.

I have an assignment due at midnight. It's quarter past 11. Fml.
I already got an extension on it and is bound to be overdue. I need a certain average to keep the option of getting into honours open but I've already fucked up and let the shit I've gone through fuck me up. There's always the option of pursuing research later down the line if that's what I want to do.
Maybe it would be better if I went to sleep and got up early to work on it, taking the 10%.
I have another assignment due on Monday. I have had so much time to do them but I've spent all this time wallowing in self-pity. I am so mad at how I've let this stuff affect me. Another failed uni semester!
Don't let guys get in the way of study. A good guy never will.
The worst will interrupt you all the time so you can't get anything done. Will make drama that distracts you from your aim. Might even get nasty and sabotage you if you persist. Might start using put downs.
An example of subtle sabotage is organising an event when you have classes or work to do and expects you to come.
Do not blame yourself. If he is out the house and you are in no danger be done with him and get to work.
