Why do we have such a toxic culture of making work "fun"?? What the hell is wrong with people? Why can't we just do work, go home and have your own kind of fun with other people you enjoy being around???

After last night's successful posting, I have moved the bot onto learning the days of the week. Either I have been successful, or all future posts will be labeled as Wednesday.

Lmao didn't get the job I waited three months to hear back from.

OMG it worked! >insert happy dance here<

Up just before 6 am to hit the gym...fuck yeah!!!!

Got some energy, ready to fucking lift.

Do my stretches, light warm ups, first rep of the first exercise and something tweaked in my back.

Off to the physio I go!!!

Yay!!

Time for bed. Anxious about the bot, but it has worked once, I must have faith. I have instructed it to make a post at midnight given all the test posts worked last night. I think it will take a few more successful posts before I can really trust it is working.

It's my daughter's first birthday today! Mum's at work so it's just me and her celebrating until she gets home. Is it stupid to take a baby to NGV during school holidays?

Hey Midnight Bot you showed up tonight. Great to see you. Thanks @[email protected] you've made my day.

RAD-BOT RESURRECTED EDITION

Baby crows out the office window

One of my friends was just talking about Heartstopper and while I haven't watched it because I just don't really care for a show with a cast of teens, it got me thinking about how lucky young LGBT people are these days in terms of content they can watch and see themselves in. When myself and my generation were coming out and looking for media that represented us it was all very full on, and stuffed to the brim with sexual content, a lot of it truly dubious. My friends and I at the time just didn't understand how incredibly damaging watching that stuff could be for us as teens. I don't know, just got me deep into thinking about how not just myself but my friends maybe wouldn't have engaged in some risky shit had we had shows and movies that showed healthy age appropriate stuff.

Related off note, but I thought about the OG UK Queer as Folk, and how I thought 15 year old Nathan banging grown arse Stuart wasn't that bad. Adult me is mortified, but I think about how those old shows were all my friends and I had so of course we thought yeah that's how it is, that's what we should want and how we should behave.

I dont usually get deep on here, but I just can't stop thinking about it now.

My partner and I are starting to talk about marriage beyond just a conceptual thing 😳

So I'm on a bus and I'm reflecting on the fact that while seatbelts are compulsory in cars, on a bus you've really only got your prayers 🙏.

I've just realized why I'm over this job. This was supposed to be exciting. Managing shit. Helping people. Fixing things. But I'm so busy filling in god damn spreadsheets and checking off things on a list to do anything about actually fixing or improving things.. Its basically just become an admin assistant. What the hell am I even doing here?! Booked myself in for an Azure fundamentals course next week. I'm pretty adept at Azure already, but I tried to study for the bigger certificate and got a bit overwhelmed so im gonna try get the basic certification and then build momentum from there.

Someone's posted pics of the fake seizure guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/14qdgum/psa_fake_seizure_guy_tried_it_on_just_now/

Do you think its a requirement that to work for Linkt you have to get a lobotomy? Or do they exclusively hire people with single digit IQ? I traveled early June, noticed my tag didn't beep so I got home, logged a replacement tag, they go "No worries, we wont charge you for any tolls for the proceeding couple of days and until your new tag is confirmed received". Want to guess what I just received in the mail? If you guessed a toll invoice I have bad news for you: You are clearly too smart to work for Linkt. I try to be patient with call center staff, its not their fault they work for soul sucking corporations. But man we are 35 minutes in and they are still trying to tell me it is a valid invoice.

Reports of my demise have me SLIGHTLY exaggerated. I'm feeling heaps better, but my god that was the worst I've ever felt whilst not actually being sick.

It worked!

Hullo kids

Hard day. Baby hasn’t been well. I keep getting irrationally angry at my partner too because I’m freaked out and projecting. I have managed to not actually say anything and just keep my emotions to myself but I’m exhausted from managing myself too. Baby will be okay but it’s hard when he’s screaming in pain 😭

Last session with the Really Good Short Term Psych. It went so well even though I was procrastinating in bed until half an hour before the appointment. I feel a good sense of closure and clarity and appreciation. It feels good in my bones.

I am also infinitely grateful and relieved that he will write a letter summarising findings and recommendations to my GP and the psychiatrist I have an appointment with next week, because we covered so much and I feel he really got to the crux of what I've been having difficulties with my whole life. It'll save me a lot of exhausting explanation and rehashing and will come with professional recommendations that might finally get me the help I need.

Nightshade just like the to-mate,
Oh, po-tay-to, po-tah-to, po-tate!
Colours red gold, blue, purple majesty
La Ratte, Jewel Yam, please, French Fingerling
I want them scalloped and baked,
Friiiiiiied, driiiiied, and potato-caked!

OH POTATO!!
WHO MADE YOU
SO DELICIOUS!?
OH POTATO!
YOU'RE THE FIRE
FROM PROMETHEUS

Boiled and bubbled in a big pot
Stirred till the 'tates are steaming hot
Smash 'em, mash 'em, butter and milk
Whipped up smooth, starchy-white silk
Cleaned up and chopped, wedges or chips
Salty and sauce-y upon my hungry lips

OH POTATO!!
WHO MADE YOU
SO DELICIOUS!?
OH POTATO!!
YOU'RE THE FIRE
FROM PROMETHEUS!

thank you, ReadEverything; your comment about licking the potato-masher inspired me

I have two twitter accounts that I linked a thousand years ago. I never ended up using twitter so the accounts just sit there. I went to go delete them, as my little 'fuck you' to Muck, but it wants my password... as if I'm going to remember a password I used 10 years ago.

Anyway, I changed my usernames to variations of 'elon suck my dick' and now I'm going to troll his tweets until I get banned. Stupid fuck.

Wish me luck!

Edit: give me some more people to insult on twitter, I'm trying to nuke these. Im on that moron Jordan Petersons twitter atm

Thank you Bot #001 😊

Apparently Mr Woof's ears are finely attuned to the sound of a spoon hitting the bottom of the bowl. He was at the other end of the house but managed to rock up just in time as I finished the last of my porridge.

So apparently there was a magnitude 2.4 earthquake in Pakenham at around 1:25am this morning.

Day 11 of exercise program. I discovered today that my program has a water drinking tracker and reminder, which is grouse because I've always been bad at keeping up my water intake. It also has a calorie burn counter on the pedometer bit. I like to have a low sugar alcoholic ginger beer when I've finished work, and it was interesting to note that even though it's low sugar it would take me half a day of walking to burn it off!

I've got 80kg of spuds again today💪 Have a great day everyone!

Weird thing happened in Coles Richmond Traders this morning when I was buying my lunch. The exit gate for the self-serve lane didn't open. Had to show the receipt to the attendant to get the gates open to leave. I think this is Coles' response to grab it & run 'customers'. Might be a good idea to keep your receipt handy until safely out of there in future.

I swear to Alanis Morissette that if I don't get this frackin' job I'm going to eat my cat's dryfood.
Please offer me the job
And I'll be your phone monkey,
I'll upsell,
Cross-sell,
Side-sell,
Slide into hell,
If you pay me,
Fortnightly
Please tell me you like me...

Anyone else lick the potato masher like you’re 5 years old and your mum gave you the beaters with cake batter on them? It’s so delicious 🥔 🥔

My mum felt the Earthquake, apparently woke her up. I didn't feel it at all.

Curry laksa for dinner tonight. 😊

Aha good bot! @[email protected] can rest easy now. Kudos to your mucking around getting this thing to work :)
