The second emoji is what came up when I typed in meeting.

    Well the meeting wasn’t too bad. Still got blamed for the inadequacy of the project team, but the heat was lower than expected thankfully ❤️

    Edit: Just got a call for another job that pays 1/3rd more. Fuck it let’s see what happens.

      That project team that you didnt even set up or have any control over? and thats been long established since before you joined? Classic management.

      It sounds like the client is blaming you because you’re the main person they interact with. You have no control on the actual work that gets done on their account.

        All I can do is hassle the project manager or project engineers to get updates.

        Today I was told in the future if I need to escalate, go straight to the general manager which is cool at least

    Bro rocked up last night finally to ‘see’ mum.

    Just sat there and spoke about himself for 30mins.

    Cunt. At least the old man is seeing him for who he really is now.

    Pretty obvious won’t be getting much help from bro.

    Anyway so I’ve left the kitchen with a bit of a mess and I need to see what happens (I usually clean up). Pretty much testing severity / independence. I’m hoping I’ll get a serve because that means she can see it, she can do it, how well she does it and mood which will be a good indication for steps that follow (for now). Low risk easy test.

    Had one hell of a psych session… big emotions. Good session but the kind that you need to sit down and process for 30 minutes afterwards. I had thought I might pack my shoes and some other stuff tonight but it isn’t happening. It’s been a big week and more to come with the real move coming up.

    I am not being lazy or weak, I am pacing myself 👍

      I was just thinking to myself today that no one starts or does everything at the same time. And starts are the hardest as learning curves are real and take a lot of work. Life naturally just spaces itself out with different demands happening at different times. Systems are set up at different times, skills learnt at different times.

      Life is naturally paced. That’s how people can do so much .

      It’s how I did it as a teen even. Got some education. Got a job. Moved out. Did more education. One big start at a time.

    Open mic is tomorrow at 9pm if anyone wants to come have a drink :)

    Edit: I’m sorry I’m going to cancel. I’ve been dealing with this stomach bug all week and it’s just gotten worse and worse.

    Id rather not go, than give a lacklustre performance :(

      Rest well buddy.

      It’s been a stressful week for you on top of being sick and I’m sure that’s not helping you get better.

      Look after yourself!

    Interesting thing just happened. I was in the middle of writing a reply, but the time stamp said that I had responded 5 minutes ago. Yes, it was the time stamp for that reply. I checked.
    This means that the DT is actually a portal that allows time travel into the future. Albeit not very much future. Not enough for stock market speculation, dammit. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

    ffs I have been banned for 3 days from one of the fossil reddits …lol. Some nonce posts a picture of a blue rock he got from Blue Rock Beach and asks if it’s a fossil.

    It’s a blue rock.

    Went to pick up some extra food for a few days and came across some bargains

    3kg bag of oranges for 5 dollars and a bag with 4 bunches of chinese broccoli or something for 2 bucks.

    Felt like I made off like a bandit and has left me fairly happy with myself.

    Also this afternoon was way smoother with almost no hassles compared to yesterday’s drama.

    Edit: I also grabbed some red wine and pink moscato.

        I’ll probably just end up eating them.

        They’re fairly big oranges and I lack a juicer too.

          Chop them in half across the equator, let the cut surfaces dry a bit then sprinkle with sugar and put under the grill until the sugar melts and goes a bit brown. Eat with a spoon. It’s the perfect antidote to a rich heavy meal. Thank me later.

            I’ll bookmark this for later. I hadn’t considered that option before and am a little curious about it now.

    Good start to the day, Marketplace buyer showed up & was very friendly. I have a couple more that will hopefully show up today too - I’ll have to convert all my cash to proper digital money soon! 💰 💰 💰

    I’m really hoping some more cupboards sell soon, I’d like to be able to use my carport again. If any are remaining after this weekend I think I’ll put them up free on the Buy Nothing group.

      Glad to hear you got rid of that couch. I’m reading Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency and I was worried your couch would get stuck in some physically impossible fashion and you’d have to saw it into pieces

        I think it is @just_kitten 's couch you are thinking of, which is still pending pickup tonight. So the impossibly stuck couch is still a possibility. Hopefully if that does happen the horse in the bathroom situation will not follow.

    is there a stomach bug going around? Kid got sent home with the shits yesterday but was in great spirits and wasnt on a hold so went back today and seems fine. Meanwhile I’ve got this feeling at the top of my stomach a bit like i wanna spew, but not quite? Had it for 3 days now, and it just comes and goes. not actual digestive changes however, its a bit weird. edit: feels like there is a rock at the top of my stomach.

      I saw something on the other site with a graph regarding gastro cases in Australia (or Victoria) and there was huge upward spike recently.

              I admit I haven’t been on a tram since early 2019. Even before then I was lathering up on hand sanitiser and allowing the more eager brave commuter to press the button.

      Gastro has been going nuclear of late, my son’s kinder was just about deserted a few weeks back when it ripped through…
