Melbourne

Shit sleep last night. Can't think of anything to do for our wedding anniversary next week. I've had two shits already which is unheard of. It's fucking hot. I will survive.

I just signed up to Proton Mail & am changing over my email, calendar, setting up the VPN and migrating all my stuff to their cloud server. I've only just started the process and I'm exhausted already. I haven't even looked at the password manager yet to decide if I want to change to that or not. But storing my digital life in Switzerland instead of USA seems like a very good idea at the moment.

It appears Gibson won't go to bed tonight unless I go to bed. There go my big plans for video games...

Goodnight all ❤️

So hot outside. Could be worse, could be humid. 12 more new records to go... then I just need to redo 16 more completely and I'm almost done. The rest only need remeasuring with a tape measure... which is more about driving around to do the bastard things real quick. I could do some while I'm out here and traffic is chill. Leave about 70 to update with more precision on some cooler weather day. The end is in sight for this side of town!

One discombobulated Boyo is back home after discovering halfway into work that they've given everyone the day off.

Working the public holiday is bad enough, but whyyy did our central engineering team have to throw a spanner in the works and break stuff to 'keep things interesting' and make today extra-not-cruisy?!? 🤬

Happy Labour Day!

Coming back from beechworth, we all had a great time. The boys got to pat lizards and feed frogs. There were animals grazing around the grounds and they got to watch a crocodile be fed.

To top it all off, they use a product work sells that lines up perfectly with an upcoming product launch. I asked if I could use them as a case study and they said yes, so I could retroactively spin this as a work trip

a cockroach thought im food

Yuck. Who broke the weather?

Address changing underway, along with resetting passwords for a zillion customer portals I've not logged into since last move and have inevitably forgotten. Blargh.

the little strawberry yoghurt ice pops were delicious, I chose very very red small straws for a strong flavour

I don't feel guilty eating these either 🙂

Happy Second Sunday!

After about six hours of gaming, and maybe two hours of phone scrolling and napping; now that the sun has set, I finally feel like getting Things™ done.

more packing , will spend some time cutting up bubble wrap for the delicate stuff

Holy sweaty shirtballs. I am COOKED, was out from 11 to 6 jumping in and out of the car but I got the time sensitive stuff done, and I pushed on through to correct ALL the other measurements in one day to make the most of cruisey traffic... and I'M DONE WITH MY DATA COLLECTION!!1!1! (for that side of town, anyway. Got one more area that I might have to let go of if the weather doesn't play nice this weekend/next week)

I'll be glad to not drive over the effing Westgate for another year now, thank you very much.

Bonus is I managed to get some cheap Asian veggies while stopping for refreshments (kang kung, choy sum, winter gourd and very cheap small round eggplants). Plus a full tank of cheap petrol. Ordered pizza for dinner as a very well-deserved treat... just waiting for the clothes to wash and I'll pick it up while I do the laundromat run. Whew, what a day.

Go to print something in black and white and it refuses because the colour is low. Fuck HP printers.

Electric toothbrush or manual toothbrush?

I feel a bit like I didn't get much done today, but I have made significant progress in de-Goggling my life.

I've also removed Reddit. Again. Apparently it's like cancer. I obviously didn't get rid of it all when I moved over here and it regrew. Now it's been cut out again.

Hopefully with a new influx to Lemmy there will be a bit more engagement here. Although we are all terrible people who "incite violence" so maybe we should just riot instead?

i can’t quite decide what to do with the next twelve (12) hours

Just came back from shopping, lots of people about. The fruit and veg shop was busy as, which is good to see. Got a busy day in the factory tomorrow, so it's gonna be a very hot one for me.

but first i'll dash to qvc and grab a small frozen yoghurt and some other stuff 😋

Long day! Remembered sunscreen and I remain pale and unburnt.

Now sitting outside the laundromat, washing mein liebes pants for his interview tomorrow. He has used all his spoons, so I sent him back upstairs to rest lol

inspired by Low's recommendation I bought a lot of cosmetics today ☺️ lots of eyebrow and eyelash stuff, new liquid eye liners too

oh holy shit I just realised my PT-E550WVP does very good QR codes. And I run my own webserver. As in literally, in my house, apache build that I can control access to.

Guess whose specialty tools are gonna get all their guides and manuals digitised with link stickers on every last one? Mwahahahaha

Edit: double holy shit this is a gamechanger for His Lordship's adhd.

I just made some strawberry yoghurt ice pops. Yoghurt, milk, strawberries a little sugar in the blender then into popsicle molds

should turn out nice 😋

I'm too sexy for my shirt it hurts

"Gibson why are you eating cobwebs?"

The next couple of weeks at work are going to be a glorious trainwreck.

Maybe the person I'm handing over to will call me and ask me to dictate an email to them again lol

It's so damn hot

Garlic bread or garlic focaccia (which is really a garlic pizza)?
