There's a couple of projects happening near my train station so the carparks are filled with trades. Had to park a bit further than usual and missed my regular train by like a minute.

I don't know these new train people. They're not my regulars!!!

Spent the entire ride judging them so hard.

6:30 Train people for ever!!!!

6:37 Train people might as well be sewer mutants!

I had one of those "I need to make a sudden life change" dreams.

I wonder how things will play out.

Am listening to Mushroom Case daily.

Anyone got an equivalent podcast for the Diddy trial? Stuck at home for a while, need trashy entertainment....

Missing ballot papers found at election workers home

what if your passion could become your career?

Love it when ads line up with content like that 😂

One of the boys had a fever and had to be picked up from childcare early on Monday. This resulted in the week up until now just being a fog of Trying To Get Things Done. Things are somewhat back to normal so we'll see how things play out.

I got Bazzite working on the old work laptop. Silly me didn't disable Secure Boot. It loads straight into Steam Big Picture on startup, so I wouldn't use this version as my daily driver, but it would be great for handhelds and loungeroom PCs.

Also, Sleep Token have dropped a new album. I know some people on here dig them. I'm listening to it now.

Belated thanks to our local Witch for the motivation brew. It's taken a while to kick in for me as it usually is, but here I am finally sat in the uni library with a blank Word document open! And a tab open to ChatGPT where I'm about to explain what my project is about and to please help break me out of my stupid block to just start writing.

Edit: who knew that just having ChatGPT just open and trying to draft up a question on how to structure one section would do the job - ended up smashing out dot points for the intro and aims in one hour. Now onto the method section (should be easiest to fill out) and then sketching out the results section to discuss with supervisor tomorrow.

just tried guzman y gomez for the first time, and I am full of regret and resentment.

I was at a PD presentation today and then later on had a look at the Other Place (using my phone), and up popped an ad for the very specific thing the PD was about.

I didn’t google anything related to the topic, and only used my phone to check messages a couple of times.

That was a little too much of a coincidence. Bloody technology, snooping on me. Very creepy indeed.

Finally figured out why I don't feel like I fit in, in the role.

I'm the only guy here who does not wear RM Williams boots.

I swear it's like a uniform.

Boots must really help when trying to herd emails or if an errant teams message hopped a fence.

OK fuck it. Doom the dark ages is pre-loading.

It's been a rough couple of weeks.

ookay, now I just have to book to NZ 👍 early july here I come 🙂

Cat had a bad dream :(

Didn't know that was a thing that happened.

I'm all set up for getting in the house to be on hard mode again tonight - a few pieces of furniture, a floor lamp and a dog door insert are all waiting for me. I think it will mostly need to be carried straight back out the van so I can take it up to Ballarat, I don't really have room in the house.

Swam for the first time in a long tome monday. Can I go again today or should I give it another rest day?

Anyone want a gratitude thread? I feel like I've been looking at life through a negative lens lately, which doesn't really help.

So I'm going to start this thread. I am grateful for the beautiful autumn leaves I saw on my walk today. I will show photos next time, as the ones I took today made my location identifiable to any georainbolts out there.

got nearly a full packet of those tiny aldi chocolate chips that are stale and soggy. Surely I can do something to turn them into some muffins or a cake or something?

It appears it's been long enough since I used a meal delivery service that I'm eligible for the free boxes again. I've ordered a few to make it a bit easier to juggle packing etc. over the next few weeks. Then when I've moved I'll have a shiny new address and should be eligible for more free boxes there. This will soothe the aggravation I felt after paying for a box and then receiving coupons for free boxes to give to everyone else.

I’m a grumpy little trash goblin today.

Melbcat came over to a visitor for pats and reached up trying to get in their lap! She needed to be lifted for a cuddle but after they got up she jumped into the empty chair independently.

I didn’t think she was interested in getting up there anymore or had the mobility but maybe now I need to get a pet ramp and even buy a comfier (and destroyable) chair for her.

I wish she’d take her 4cyte. That on top of the solensia and she’d be able to climb the walls!

Edit: She’s still relaxing in her chair
