Stayed up late having a great chat with some mates on discord. We're all facing pros and woes in our lives. It was great to talk it out with some peers.
Got an email from the new place with some meeting invites. I was paranoid for some reason they changed their mind, but we're all good!
Looking forward to a week off between jobs. Truth be told I zoned out of this job 4 weeks ago.
Mate, you zoned out on that job a few months ago.
X-Files series 1 episode 1. The young detectives meeting for the first time๐ฅฐin the basement ๐ฅด
Scully's shoulder pads ๐คฃ
I also find it a bit weird in the early episodes they are still using land lines.
Counterpoint: Mulderโs hair. Like a proto Chris Isaak. Dreamy.
Woke up terrified. Bodes well for the day
really hard to shake that mentality when you wake up with it. Extra special self care today. Buy that expensive coffee, put a nice cupcake with it.
I feel really tired, everything is over stimulating me today like I'm having sensory overload, hate this feeling.
Also body feeling hurty so that's not helping.
no hugs
just the most gentle music in the world
Thank you!
Ugh ugh ugh ugh. Hate that. Haircut tomorrow at least (long overdue) so i won't keep feeing my fucking hair
Got a call from my new boss about starting next week.
Come in whenever on Monday, we'll get a coffee, set up your equipment and go from there.
If you want to work from home the rest of the week that's cool.
Butterflies officially gone
Itโs going to be a bumpy night !
WHY? WHAT'S HAPPENING? HELP!
Huh, seems like today's the day for feeling an unspecified sense of unease. Bad memories keep floating up today. Angry at traffic. Constantly feeling anxious about my bladder. Had to use my own work phone rather than shared device for work fieldwork today and its battery life is getting from bad to worse. Even the battery pack isn't saving it. Sitting in the car waiting for it to get to at least 10%... shame, I had hoped to power on through and finish this entire section today (and throw the shit part - and only the shit part - to someone else ๐ฌ)
One thing I can tell you is that it helps just to accept the traffic for what it is and not get angry at it.
I often just take a big sigh in the afternoons and tell myself that the traffic is there and there's no point getting angry at it but it does help to have radio shows on at the time that I like to listen to.
Bugger about the phone though :(
For some reason had a dream about a Dos video game and now I'm in a nostalgia hole lol
2nd last day today. Bit sad but also relived. Once I found out another one of my clients was leaving that sealed the deal. I would absolutely have been blamed for that.
Fuck em.
It's bad enough I had to organise my own going away lunch.
Cosmos cosmic adventure? Jazz jackrabbit? Commander Keen 4?
The ears ๐
Had strange dreams about old "friends"
The two guys I thought were my friends too, were just my ex's friends. Believed I was transphobic and whatnot. Took her word over mine. It's sad, one of them taught me how to build a PC, and the other him and I got along so well. I'm sad about what I lost because of my liar ex. It doesn't help when I try to console myself that those two were never really my friends, because then it all feels like a lie.
And another friend, my ex and I met him when we played Destiny and Destiny 2. He and I had a shared love for Blind Guardian and power metal, we could chat about anything. I thought he was awesome! But as soon as I broke up with my ex, this friend tried to date me. A betrayal of sorts. What I thought was platonic, and I was even planning on going to Adelaide to hang out with him, was another lie.
He ghosted me when I said I was dating my now partner.
I guess I'm just feeling a sense of loss. It's okay to lose friends, it's just part of life. But it's sad I lost people I trusted, and who I thought liked me for me. Who I thought would believe me, or wanted a platonic friendship.
Ah well, I like the friends I have now better anyway. They're funny and make me laugh, different life experiences, unconnected to my past, and I love them and love talking to them. I hope I am someone they enjoy talking to as well!
bad sleep, woke up crying about the war in america, it's hotting up ๐ฟ
but then for about the fifth day in a row i had that humperdink song in my head , c'an't take my eyes off you'
I maybe to blame for the Engelbert earworm but I swear I'm not responsible for the American shit.
No one here yet?
Good very early morning everyone. ๐
Insomniacs assemble!
Present. ๐ซก
I have a sleep study booked!! Low key hoping they find something - I know I snore bad. But they have given me basically no info except to turn up prepared to stay the night at hospital. Anyone got any tips?
vacuumed the floor yesterday. Was vaccuming again 2 hours later cause the kiddo wanted a musli bar. And it was then that it dawned on me: this is why my house looks like a dumpster fire most of the time. Unless I'm cleaning 24/7 it just aint gonna remain clean. Ah well.
House clean once a day is achievable (with robovac). The rest of the time it's just life happening. Better a happy house than a clean, unhappy one. Don't sweat the small stuff (except ants).
yeah mrs is fairly keen on a robovac. If she cant come up with a Christmas present this year I might float that idea. Give it a week before the cat crowns himself king and rides it around the house though.
Googly eyes are a must as well.
If that happens, we need pics.
I have no kids and still struggle to keep the place decent. Mess is so easy to make and cleaning is such a chore. Literally every action to exist makes mess. Eat food, use toilets, walk around, wear clothes etc. Not to mention general stuff and storage and actually doing things and living life. I wonder if people with pristine houses just sit and stare into space most of the time, so no mess is created. The way I see it, if regular cleans are getting done and nothing is unhygienic, good enough. My house is lived in. Itโs reality not instagram.
Peeler and I were just comparing notes on this very topic. Houses suck, they require more cleaning the more people and pets we put in them!
There is a crack in the sky and something is trying to break through.
Bad Wolf.
I've had too much coffee today, I feel so wired and jittery at the moment, maybe too much energy and can't get rid of it.
It's cooled down enough to go back to the blanket I've been slowly crocheting. 8ply wool is not ideal for summer.
I am convinced the tram timetable on this route is entirely fictitious
The timetable is FINE. Timed to the minute. The problem is all those pesky travellers who keep delaying trams by getting on and off which stops the driver keeping to the schedule.
Public transport would be great, if it wasn't for the dang PUBLIC!
I am here and am stuffed
it took from 9am to 7.30 to move the stuff, 3 guys
Digging through the freezer for dinner tonight, I discovered a packet of Mr Chen's Beef Teriyaki dumplings. In the spirit of science, I followed the packet directions to cook them for dinner. Verdict : don't bother. Meh at best, though freezing probably did not improve them.
A perk of getting in early is I can print off a flyer for the Beestation I made without anyone asking questions
Finally got around to watching the season finale of Severance.
All I can say is wow, whatโs a ride even if the last few episodes seemed way too slow.
