It’s fun being able to hyperfocus on stuff but not being able to choose what that thing is. I’m starting to get calluses on my fingers from just picking up the guitar, to the detriment of my piano practice and assignments.
Time to drink some water and get a move on.
Up with a massive pain in my stomach. I woke my girlfriend up because this was almost Go To The Hospital level but it has dropped off again now
Hope you’re doing ok now
I’m better now but still not 100%
Fingers crossed it eases up mate.
Things I dream about:
Women
Friends
My sick telekenetic saw blade that I use to murder this massive skeleton zombie that knows martial arts
Cats
Guitars
I got an anxiety one where something bad was going down and I couldn’t get to the ‘dial’ part of my phone to call for help. Boo. Various versions of this dream pop up when I’m stressed
I dreamed about being outside too long and getting sunburned. Your sick telekenetic saw blade sounds much more interesting.
It’s rare I promise you. Most of my dreams are somewhat lacklustre.
For example: I just dreamed that I lost my shoes on a bus and couldn’t find them.
Riveting lol
kinda taking a rest day 🙂
Bill having a sleep in. 💖
Quite a large head for her body lol
Needs all those neurons to build TP forts!
The polka dot tummy is my fave lol
just begs for a tickle
So a heads up to anyone who has a Harmony universal remote - they’ve decided that come may you can no longer update them. As in you can no longer program them at all. They’re useless.
I’m pretty sure that’s a violation of consumer law given they’re deliberately crippling a hardware device that you own…
Another rental application in. Unfortunately the inspection is today & I can’t go because of a dental appointment. But it looks perfect for me in the photos, hopefully I can be considered and get a different inspection time. The place does have too many yuccas. I’m not sure if the excessive green of the lawn is photoshop or if the previous owner did some serious watering before selling to make it look nice but I’ll be surprised if it is not dead and yellow in real life. But the house layout is great, there is a sliding door I can put a dog door insert in and an area that looks like it would be perfect to put some vegies in without much effort. So fingers crossed again on tihs one.
The other one I put an application in looks like it might be ok, but there are a lot of maybes that you can’t see in the (out of date) pictures that could make it unsuitable too, so I’m not bothering with the crossed fingers for that one.
15 years is about what I’m dealing with. Stick to potted ones.
Yeah, the trunks on those are massive and look like they are damaging the fence. Who knows what the roots are getting into. In another 10-15 years the small one that’s been put in against the house will be causing some serious damage too.
I have now been implanted.
Not an alien baby or anything dramatic, a dental implant. It is not too bad but a bit ouchie.
Got lunch out with a friend today, just getting breaks and a coffee right now.
We’re having Vietnamese for lunch today, I’m tempted to go for the beef pho, half thinking Bahn Mi but I’m not sure if it’s any good at that place.
Anyway looks like I lucked out and won’t be getting petrol at a lower price.
What did you end up deciding?!
Sadly the place we wanted to go to had closed down so we went Japanese.
I had a tempura seafood udon.
Now I’m out having a coffee with my friend in a cafe.
The salted caramel Lindt bunny intrigues me!
It’s in the fridge now if that helps.
Try the banh mi!
Place closed down :(
Oh no
Jury is still out at the moment.
Woke up about an hour ago, I was surprised how late it was. I was wondering if I’d work from home today but I guess it’s a day off at this point
Yesterday’s Scary Emails I Didn’t Want To Look At And Felt Like Shutting Off The World Over were looked at this am (frog, swallow, etc). They were not as bad as expected. Just need to get one document signed by supervisor who I’m meeting on Thursday.
Work, otoh, has my crank level dialled right up today. Clashing with some poor assumptions and lack of communication (imo) around the scope of this job. I’m used to writing my own quotes for these kinds of things and having full control over managing client expectations including reinterpreting their own terribly written scope. Now I’m spending much much more time than I expected on this… well, it’s not my fault or problem at this point, it’ll take what it does to meet the scope as directed, and if the company bears a loss on it that’s up to them to be tighter about quoting 😇
I can’t wait to get back to my usual role because I still resent this side of the job… Luckily this is maybe the second time I’ve had to do it in nearly a year.
I got a Liberal party email in my inbox this morning. Clicked ‘modify preferences’ and noticed some of the things they’re tracking:
An annoying thing about political emails is they’re exempt from regular opt-in and spam laws so you pretty much just have to block them. Very interesting what they’re tracking here though
So annoying.
I reported one of those Trumpets of Patriots ads and was told they were exempt from complaints because they were political no matter how awful and targeting minorities
It really made me angry how they were allowed to get away with saying such awful things and lying.
That pisses me off too. My Do Not Call and Do Not Knock are intended for everybody I don’t know or didn’t contract in some way. Unless you’re trying to tell me the house is on fire, fuck off with your exemption.
👀
This is actually super interesting. Consider screenshotting it all and send a tip to the Guardian. I’m sure the Libs aren’t the only ones using these predictive analytics stuff though.
This is why political patties want your email and phone number – so they can add you to a database and enrich it with data scraped from profiling platforms, data brokers, ethnicity predictors and other commercial data sources.
It’s spooky and feels wrong.
Yeah, that was first thought actually. Thought I’d consult the DT hivemind first though 😊
Interesting article in Crikey about this today ;)
When i am godking those who choose to rev obscenely noisy engines in wee hours through residential areas will from that moment onwards shit themselves every time they place their keys in the ignition
Husband has added caveat “unless they’re into that”
If we’re talking godking omnipotence here, just have them explode in their car, their car can explode too.
But then the culture is not changed.
If revheads stop driving or smell like shit, the trend falls out of fashion. If they explode, it’s a michael bay film
EXPLODE!
Ok fine, you can explode the recividists. As a treat.
Even just having road police be more active in policing exhausts and general car volume. I live near Sandown park, when there’s a race on so many hoons cut through my suburb and they just have to “rip it up” when fanging it from speedbump to speedbump in the back streets. The cops could be throwing out defect notices and fines all day long.
I live where suburbia hits a gentrifying industrial area, the cunts don’t see our houses because it disrupts their assumption it’s cool to be noisy
Ok, who broke the Bot? Fess up.
We spotted him during our joint operation last night.
Maybe it’s got an RDO?
