    A little Negative Nancy (sorry to any Nancys that may be reading this)

    Assignment that was almost seven days overdue is done and submitted. I have no idea where the time went or what I have been doing. All I remember is the stressing.

    Two more due end of this week. At least one of them is more or less half done. I’m just worried I won’t finish them in time.

    I will try my best and use this as a learning experience. I will use myself as an example for my Future Students of What Not To Do.

    Then I will be done with uni, climb the Harbour Bridge, and transform into HighExperience2060.

    Far out. I was wondering where my cat’s treats were if they’d been delivered and looked back on the security camera. Some dero with alcohol in his hand had come right up to my doorstep to steal my parcel in broad daylight.

    So now not only does my cat not have her treats this sketchy guy now has my personal details (potentially including my number or email) and knows a woman lives here. Plus any attempts at identity theft that may follow.

    That also might explain another parcel I haven’t received.

    Fuck this suburb and fuck these people. Scumbags are just multiplying.

    I looked into a parcel locker ages ago but have been putting out fires and didn’t get to it.

        I’ve already called and the response was lacklustre. I’m waiting for a link to submit the video but expect nothing to happen.

        Also I now have to make arrangements for help to get everything in person, lock my letterbox and set up a parcel locker.

      What happened was derro realised they were cat treats and not an iphone, swore and threw it all in a bush

        I hope so. But even just one of my neighbours finding that discarded personal information would be very bad for me. I don’t want to go into it all. Living here has had a long “rich” history and has left me with legitimate ptsd triggers.

        Plus I rely heavily on delivery now so if all my shit is getting stolen that’s a problem

      A former bully colleague died earlier this year. Massive stroke. The feelings it evoked in me were weird. She had ‘retired’ 10 years earlier and I didn’t realise how much of it I still held onto.

    A courier is meant to come today to pick up the old work laptop. I was given the wonderfully specific window of 9:30 to 17:30. Kids are dropped off, I’m about to shower, and I’m ready to hunker down and not go anywhere until he comes to pick it up.

    Because you know he’ll come if I go outside or the next time I go to the toilet

      My work is terrible at asset management. I have so many old devices kicking around it’s stupid. I should just dump them all at the office with someone sometime but they’re all long-forgotten.

      I have a work Windows Phone in my desk somewhere… thing belongs in a museum.

        I have two laptops from old roles that never bothered to arrange collection. I gave one to the MIL so she has an actual computer and took one for myself as the linux test driver.

        God, I remember those Nokia Windows phones. They gave Trevor in GTAV a windows phone to show how insane he was, it just dates the game to a specific time period now.

        wait did you get a pS5 already? Or is this a “Oh no, I brought a game that I dont have the console for! Guess I’m gonna have to go out and buy the console” move?

            You brought the pro… why would you buy the pro? Stuff paying extra for a disc drive just so sony dont screw you on the PSN store.

              I haven’t lay byed it yet. I’m going through all the info I can find online.

              Tbh that disc drive thing is a huge strike against the pro. Extra 160 plus the extra 300 on top for the pro. It adds up.

              I’m open to being convinced the normal one is better for sure.

    In a few weeks, I’ll be staying at a hotel with a buffet breakfast included in the stay price. This hotel doesn’t come cheap, so I feel it’s my duty to squeeze every bit of value out of the price.

    Is it wrong if I take a few items away from the buffet for later enjoyment? I won’t be obvious about it - the take away items will be hidden in a tote bag I’ll bring in with me. Easy things to take away - some pastries, fruit, not hot food. I’ve never done this before, but planning how to get away with it has been exciting.

      You paid for it so take it.

      When I used to travel for work, I’d grab fruit from the breakfast buffet to take with me for the day. Bananas, kiwis apples …whatever whatever wasn’t cut was fair game

      I ‘stole’ a croissant once from a buffet at a 5 star in Indo.

      Then the next day stole a spring roll.

      I self flagellated for weeks after that.

      I have heard from her this morning. I am hoping we have some movement getting her back online today.

          Sigh It was meant to be in response to @melbaboutown but I guess you figured that. I haven’t heard again, so no updates from this end.

          It’s frustrating to know I could get her online in 2 minutes flat if I were there, but that option is not available. It’s often the way with remote tech support.

    I am ready to bathe myself in ice-cream. LOL.

    Man, it’s not like I haven’t ridden in this type of weather a lot, but I do not miss sweaty anything, let alone sweaty leathers.

    Flu bad. Why come I remove gunk from my nose and then there’s more gunk right away? I don’t like it. Why come body go ouchie even though I’m giving it a rest today? Unfair.

    Also tissue and lozenge delivery should be on Medicare

      I also remain bewildered and mortified by my body’s ability to generate seemingly endless amounts of mucus out of nowhere. Flu sucks though. I hope you get well very soon…
