Welcome Ted Cat! Feliway friends made new introductions much smoother in my home.

Just been dropped that I'm doing the flowers for my bros wedding this Sunday.

I'm seriously not impressed.

If anyone here has ever been to a wedding in Indo (their first wedding) and what her side of the family would (I'm guessing) expect... let's just say from what I saw they expect a lot of flowers.

Fuck me

That’d be a “no” from me

Send them an invoice - at wedding planner prices. Include an item for designing the wedding dress and making the wedding cake. Also an item for the days off work you've will have to take to get everything done. Sounds like they expect you to do everything but say the vows. This is beginning to look like fraternal abuse. Certainly it's thoughtless and not nearly enough time to organise everything.

Small posies for the bridal party, buttonholes for the groom party and single orchid flowers at tables. Posies for the mothers of the wedding couple

I'm off today. Work I've had a lot of conflict and ended the day early to go for a walk, but also there's a few things I just need to rant about sorry...! Also have a picture of my cat showing how I feel today!

Ted Cat is very very hungry . Every single rescue long haired cat I've had had been neglected and half starved. 😢

Annnnddddd, it’s happened again.

Why have people decided to sit right next to me in a near empty waiting room? And the chairs right next to me? Leave a space damnit!

I do not understand. If this is my superpower, please take it away. 😭🤣

Learn to pass gas at will

People will possibly then learn to distance and mask

I once took the night ferry to Tassie. Booked the basic low cost seat section. The ENTIRE section was empty except for one other person. and guess where they decided to sit? Unreal.

I actually called him out on it.

Ted Cat has never seen anyone have a cup of coffee, he thinks everything is a cat food bowl!! And if he doesn't get his way he is cranky. I don't think he's ever lived with humans or been taught how to behave. 😨 He reminds me of a zoo animal.

I also think he was only neutered very recently 😬

So since moving to Tassie I haven't made any real friends, but in a really weird coincidence someone who I knew because she dated a friend I played footy and cricket with (20 years ago) happened to move in to the same area as I did in Tassie not long before I moved here (5 years ago). We spoke off and on but after she found out about the break up, she invited me out to trivia night with some of her work friends. I am really really terrible socially, was super nervous, and almost bailed. But I sucked it up and went last night and actually had a really good time. I was actually social and talked to people instead of feeling like I didn't belong.

And we came third so even better.

Go you! Sometimes you've gotta push yourself a little (I know the feeling!).

While I was having a nice relaxing bath the kids decided to join me in the bathroom. The oldest one decorated the littlest one to make him look "pretty" with butterfly clips.

Started work pretty normally.. about an hour in, realised my throat was really dry and felt strange even though I'd been drinking water. Then I got really really tired. Told work I'm unavailable and slept from 10am until 5pm. I had to force myself to get out of bed so I wouldn't keep sleeping. I'm going to order something in I think because I should eat but don't have the energy to bother myself.

This being the day after I went back into the office for the first time since before my leave. Yikes.

So any emotional extremes today. Tonight is comfort food, blanket, couch and either Netflix or gaming. Tomorrow will be better.

Rollercoaster day. Got an email this morning asking that I attend the office later this week to meet with the directors. No details provided on what the meeting is going to be about. An ex-colleague of mine recieved a similar meeting invitation earlier in the year where they got made redundant. So naturally I began to freak out, thinking I'm about to lose my job. I asked if I needed to prepare anything for the meeting and the response makes me think I'm not about to lose my job, but they're going to be raising something performance related. I'm pretty nervous because I have no idea what I'm going to be walking into. The response could just be throwing me off the scent. I feel sick.

I already want to leave, but better hurry up with finding that new job. Tonight I'm going to apply for a few roles and clear my work PC in case the worst happens.

I've just spend two hours on phone setup stuff. So many apps, so many accounts to sign in. I haven't even spent any time actually organising anything, just downloading and logging in.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

If you had the choice, what would you go for:

  1. Increase of pay to relieve cost of living pressure
  2. Decrease in work hours (but not pay) to increase your work/life balance

I know for me it's the latter but that comes from a position where cost of living, while putting a bit of pressure on me financially, isn't my biggest concern. I've lived frugally before and can do that but seeing my hours slip away while companies make big profits off of my work isn't fun.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

On average, I'd guess it'd be 2 for most people who already got into the property market and are comfortable with what they have. 1 for people who are starting out/trying to buy things.

I'd rather the prices of things stopped getting insane so we didn't have to try to keep up with huge pay rises though, in general. I don't know how the world can turn this around and things can get better. All of the systems around the world are effectively just 'made up' so I feel like the world as a single unit could just decide to make it a better place for most at the expense of annoying those profiting most from the current system, but that's some John Lennon Imagine style daydreaming and I think the days of things being good for the masses is over and just going to get worse.

Yay now I'm sad.

Also, it is now the time for Halloween and Christmas items to be out simultaneously.

I don’t even know what to celebrate when anymore. 😂

THE UNIVERSE IS FUCKING WITH ME AND I REFUSE TO ENGAGE

I just wanna work out if the aircon should be ducted ceiling or through existing floor.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Ceiling. Better for dispersal across the area.

No I won't show my work. I've lived in houses with both setups and ceiling AC felt better
