    I generated 4 x my pay in profit in 6 weeks for the company which employs me. (About 1/3rd my yearly salary).

    They didn't say much because they know how much I leverage that gives me.

    So last night I got "food poisoning".

    Was nice to sleep in lol

    Funny how we have to remind the places we work at about these sorts of details and they never bring it up for us themselves

    I busted my arse end of year getting something in over the line. Talking 20 hour days by the end.

    not even a thank you. So now they get what I feel like.

    Went to the museum. The kids wanted to go but I'm not really into it anymore. The "new" museum doesn't really do it for me the way the old one did. I like the history of Melbourne display, pharlap and the outside forest bit but to me it's just a cavernous space with convention centre vibes.

    I agree. The old cabinet museum style is more interesting in a way. There is more discovery as you see things. You have to make a effort too. There are more objects. And it's not dumbed down. Also, it's like an adventure in time to see old buildings and exhibits made in the past. That's a part of our history too.

    But it's not the museum's fault. A lot of the exhibits are now so old they require repairs and special preservation before they can go on display again.

    I was sad to see the Foucault's Pendulum had moved to Melbourne Uni. It was one of few in the Southern Hemisphere and proof the world is round and rotates!

    The museum shop is so very disappointing, I could buy the things they sell just about anywhere.

    and really expensive. It used to be free. It used to be in the centre of the city . It was once the most visited tourist attraction in Melbourne. But Crown Casino got built and Jeff's mates didn't want the competition.

    True, and I guess at some point it became important for museums to generate an income, so a lot of displays are "interactive" (push a button, funky lighting) and aimed towards attracting little kids.

    On another subject, I thought at some point today, I miss how rich people used to be (was probably looking at the Coles Book Arcade display). As in, for example, "I'm rich and I believe all people should get to enjoy art," "I'm rich and I believe all people should have access to books/botanical gardens/museums etc." Now all rich people seem to want to do is build pen!s rockets and collect politicians.

    I've got a workshop to present at this conference and then I'm pretty much done for the week. Nice!

    Bunch of oldies from the area were out strolling today through our court (it connects to the parklands behind our house). A group of them decided to walk down the street, despite there being a footpath. Fine whatever.

    I was driving back from the shops not in a hurry, so let it go.

    Then they decide to stop and have a chinwag at my driveway. I gave them a beep beep, they ignored me. So I pressed the horn pretty hard.

    One of the old chaps walked to my car and told me I'm being a bit rude, I told him not to block driveways. He started carrying on so I just held the horn until he waddled off.

    They don't live on our court, so I'm not fussed, but fuck me, where is the decency.

    Some oldies just don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. There are always exceptions, but those dorks in your driveway are not that. Just twat behaviour shit.

    Funnily, I had a similar experience when I went for a walk yesterday. On Sydney Road footpath, and idk I walk fast? So I tend to overtake window-shoppers/slow walkers where I can. Not in a rush, just walk fast ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ overtook three oldies walking three abreast (so taking up the majority of the footpath). Heard them talking shit "what's her rush?" and "how impatient and disrespectful". I just shot them a stink eye lol.

    Should have mooned them to show what actual disrespect looks like lol

    Edited out redundant language lol

    Flat sheet or no flat sheet?

    I am on team flat sheet.

  • [โ€“] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    I used to be on team no flat sheet. But then I got annoyed at changing the cover on my king size quilt and annoyed at fitted sheets that were cut too small to actually fit the mattress, and I am currently on team 'three flat sheets and a doona' and I use a flat sheet on the mattress and on top & bottom of the uncovered doona. It would be a perfect system if Mr Woof didn't insist on pulling everything apart and piling it into the middle of the bed, but there is nothing I have been able to find so far that is able to resist that.

  • Team flat sheet on top, and either fitted or flat underneath. I have an aircell blankie under the doona for winter, over the flat sheet on top. Comfy and flexible. The undersheet I really don't give a damn as both are functional, but flat sheets are MUCH easier to wash (and dry!) than fitted and in winter that does make a difference so flat sheet is easier to wrangle at this time of year. In summer when washing them is easy then fitted as the undersheet is preferable as cooler and less likely to get into a sweaty tangle.

    So after doing it last year, I'm being asked to stay overnight at the kids' band camp again this year. Only I was wrong a year ago: it was Sunday Night > Monday morning. As I predicted, I got insufficient sleep that night and went from the band camp straight to work the next day. It sucked.

    I don't especially want to do it, but I'm being guilted by the whole "Sadly, we won't be able to proceed with the overnight stay if this spot remains empty" bit of the email. I'll hold back a little and hope another dad steps up this year. And if I do end up caving, I'll be taking that Monday off.

    In that awkward situation where someone at work has been recommended to me as a connection on LinkedIn and they have the "Open to work" badge on their profile. I shouldn't say anything to anyone but you know they're looking to leave at some point

    woke up cold

    and more strange nightmares about natural disasters

    5.30, still cold, the cats don't even want to get up for first breakfast

    I can hear the bridge building from across the grimpen mire, can see the huge lights even from here , sometimes you can see the big cranes and huge augers move directly into the light
