Melbourne

While Seagoon's cats look relaxed but alert my dog looks bored and pervy.

Bill and Ted say High. 😸😸

spoiler

Ted is the one who looks crazy, Bill is the one with hate in his eyes.

Ok this is the last thing I'm gonna say on this matter. I've saved my dets on Chrome. I've written it in my book. I'll get the man to save it on every possible thing he can think of.

The reason I persevered is because I actually like you guys and it's a pretty positive atmosphere here and I'm a positive person.

I fucking hate technology. I have a headache.

Fuck me. It's taken me fucking hours to remember my password. I have less trouble getting into mygov.

Logout/Login Gang reporting for duty…

I'm back! Missed you guys xxxx

Got an interview for the place that headhunted me on Thursday.

Where I am now is ok, just a bit of a dead end as far as IT goes. Small to medium sized software company. But the pay is 15% better at the other place.

Let’s see how we go. I’ll give em the ol razzle dazzle lol

Panettone as economic indicator.

Every year I go to Brunswick to buy xmas panettones and other treats. They are usually sold out by the 1st week of Dec . This year prices are up again and the shelves were still full. Talking to another customer she was telling me they just can't afford it, entertaining family and friends they buy quite a few and that would quickly add up to close to $200 each event.

Found out today that three of my colleagues have Covid and I have mild symptoms that I thought were hayfever, and decided to test and I too have the spicy cough. I'm a bit gutted as it's my mums birthday on Wednesday and we were meant to see my cousin before she flys off to live in Ireland on Saturday. Quite upset tbh but feeling okay overall.

Guess what? New account. Third time lucky?

Combination of a few things has meant last week was extremely quiet at work, haven't had to do much at all. Looks like it's going to stay that way for the rest of the week until we close for Christmas on Thursday! A welcome relief with other nonsense at work still ongoing

I got logged out again too but thankfully lemmy let me straight back in.

If one more person tries to push something through before Christmas I'm gonna tell them to f off. My manager knows what I've got on, if they wanna push something through they can. Everyone else can get stuffed. Only 4 days left, god forbid we just coast to shutdown.

So the new comments are highlighted? Pretty cool.

Tradies skedaddled for the day, His Lordship immediately ran to take a shit. Underhouse looks oddly more open and yet more crowded, depending on where you look. (new inverter much smaller than old gas ducting, but ducts themselves slightly larger. And shinier, so more visible)

Now my Jerboa is working because I needed to update it in playstore. Of course I did. I am an idiot.

Watching a Flemish series on Netflix. The subtitles make the characters look better than they are.

The swearing is truly appalling, the equivalent of saying fucking cunt or what is the worst thing to say in Australia, but the medieval Vlaamse swears is translated literally and comes across as quaint 🙄

phew, I’m back! The update logged my old account out and somehow I have been unable to log back in. This is the new one, for now.

In case anybody hasn't seen, our instance updated and this new version of Lemmy has made enabling 2 factor authentication really really easy to set up. Before you had to fuck around with the settings and get a long code, type that out in your auth app, and then get another long code and type it into your account, but now it's just like setting up any other 2fa system: you scan a QR code in your auth app and you're linked!

Also everybody's 2fa has been turned off, so if you previously had it setup you need to do it again

And for anyone who didn't have it, now's a great time to turn it on! I can recommend authy, as it has device sync and backups (so if you break or lose your phone, you can recover your 2fa codes and still log in)

You log back in, you get logged out, you log back in and you shake it all about

Can't stop watching My name is Earl.

Send snacks

I setup Kodi yesterday it works well but the UI is terrible.

Sigh. My WGAC order is a shambles! First I got an email from them back in November inviting me to purchase a Christmas themed toilet paper and I agreed and ordered it. Then I heard nothing for a while. When I enquired about it they said they'd run out. They billed and reimbursed me twice. I said I'm going to run out of toilet paper soon, so just send the regular stuff, and can I add some boxes of tissues and kitchen towel rolls as well. No problem, the items will likely be shipped separately. I got the kitchen towel rolls and boxes of tissues within a couple of days. No toilet paper. My WGAC account says the TP order has been "fulfilled." Understanding that there are delays with things this time of year, I reached out to customer service after a week and a bit, where's my toilet paper? They hadn't given me a tracking number for me to see for myself where it'd gone. They didn't know what happened, but said they'd just ship a new order of toilet paper while they investigated what happened to the other order. No problem. I check what's shipping and it's boxes of tissues and kitchen towel rolls, not toilet paper! I email them. Nothing. I email them again. In the meantime I'm getting "your order has been processed," "your order has been packed," "your order is onboard for delivery," "your delivery has been delayed" messages from ANC. I get an email from WGAC this morning saying someone will be in touch with me as soon as they can. Over the weekend I had to buy toilet paper from the supermarket (Aldi. Pretty good actually). I have just been delivered 2 more boxes, of boxes of tissues and kitchen towel rolls! At this point they can just reimburse me the $14 difference in price and I'll just delete my account. Found out their TP is made in China anyway.

There is a lot of dry begging going on in the other place. I guess the old mods used to shut down those threads pretty quickly.
