I'm back. Spent Friday in hospital with some pretty sketch vitals but they gave me an IV and I appear to be alive again. Viral meningitis is the leading theory, we couldn't actually diagnose it and given I'm no longer looking like the reapers next target no one is all that stressed any more.

God, glad to hear you're feeling better now

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Holy shit. Glad to hear you're still with us but that sounds like the shittest weekend possible. May you recover swiftly

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

That is a shock, Tiny! Speedy recovery!

Hooray we got it. Actually had no idea I did until this morn. lol. Turns out it was a bit more south than i thought. Couldn't see it with the naked eye.

10" exposure 800iso f/1.8 so pretty faint really. I thought it was supposed to be brighter. but now we know where to look (thanks to tha little rock in the foreground thanks buddy) so will have another go tonight.

Alright. The meeting for a pay rise is tomorrow.

Thankfully, I've got 2 more interviews. One from Australia and one from a very large multinational electronics firm.

Let's see what happens.

Goodnight all ❤️

My work forecast today:

Pictures not of my actual work, as I'm still on a bus crawling along a busy road!

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I'm out of NRTs
So I'm going cold turkey
Pray for me 😭

Edit: thank you all for your advice and support! Truly. But I cannot buy NRTs or anything until Friday, we have less than $100 and I would prefer to keep that for cat food/human food.

Apologies for complaining. I'm always complaining.

Some shitty news at work this morning. A couple of vacated senior positions will not be back filled. That's a few opportunities we won't be getting. Time to start looking elsewhere methinks.

Got up from my desk to stack the dishwasher and clean up and somehow ended up in bed with the covers over me....no.....I have been exhausted all day. No idea why

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

Got an early start tomorrow, we're gonna beat the heat (hopefully) and get the pizza bases finished early. Now I've got to try and get some sleep in a house where everyone is still up and about 🙉Goodnight everyone! 💤

Ugh, ded.

Big weekend of scooting around. Sabotaged bedtime in typical Llab fashion. Waking up hurts.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

One of the boys had a croaky voice and now I'm feeling it too. Time to see how flexible the new job is with being in the office, lest they want everyone else to get sick too

I have just ordered 2 boxes of frosty fruits. 🧊🍊

Hard to choose the sunset swim pic but we're going with this:

Also met the most ridiculously tiny toy doggo who just ran up to say hello. Would've been no taller than my ankle. Fearless.

Can’t wake my brain up today. Really wish I was out for a swim instead of at my desk.

One of the larger companies account managers needs to be away for 2 weeks.

So guess what's happening? Either me or my feckless co worker will have to do his job while he's away.

If I get given this, and no pay raise, then I'm bailing asap.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

It'd be a shame if you got sick.

Love when someone else's leave becomes your problem. A couple years back my old boss went galivanting around Europe for 2 months and most of her work fell onto me, it was hell.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I love the word gallivanting. It's a nicer word than whoring or trollopsing.

"Thanks boss! which of these responsibilities should I delegate to make room? And to whom?"

Penske file that shit.

Ugh the bedroom was so hot I didn't fall asleep until 1:30am and now I feel like warmed over crap despite feeling so upbeat last night! I ought to get those car windscreen shades for the windows already...

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Gina Rinehart putting a full page ad praising Trump in the Wall Street Journal is unsettling. And that photo, just weird. I’d like to get off this 2025 timeline and go back to the normal one please.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Its so nice giving up on keeping up to date with this shit. You should give it a go! I miss the daily show, but beyond that there is really no upside in being involved in foreign politics unless your playing the stock market or investing.

It's the 'and friends' that creeps me out. An entirely new definition of 'friends' is required here.

Pet Peeve - someone messages you on teams with a question, you go to reply and their status is set to Busy or DND.

Check later and they're offline and out of office until next week.

Are some people really that scatterbrained?

Christ it was hot and muggy out there. Disgusting!! Felt so gross by noon. Burnt, dehydrated, fly- irritated ... The one plus point is I managed to leave early enough after hitting my quota and have embarked on dinner as I promised myself.

It's turning out a bit ambitious: teriyaki salmon, blanched amaranth with sesame and miso, quick pickled carrot and daikon (my life for a julienne-r - atrocious knife skills). Now for a quick run to the shops for short grain rice to round it out, even though the Coles ones taste like cardboard.

Cut too much daikon so that's gone into a spicy stir fry with more carrot...

Watching Tokyo Vice.

been too hot to work on the terrace garden for long, 10 minutes an hour is better than nothing

Cheers for the thread goonsy

It was still quite toasty last night, even with the air con on before bed. But I have a smart plug I run the air con off now, so I put on a timer to turn it off at 2am. Worked quite nicely! Power bill's gonna be fucked again, though. Had to run it most of the time I was home yesterday
