Awake at 5am. I hate non daylight savings.
Also it’s autism acceptance month. Seeing lots of promotion of it at work but no actual discussion of how they actually do anything positive to help people with ASD. Nor the fact that many employees hide it because they don’t want to become a target / be put in the spotlight. It’s also ironic that return to office is pushing ahead, when people with ASD often find corporate offices a sensory hell. (Apart from other issues like dealing with commutes etc)
If anyone was wanting to try period undies but cost was a concern, a particular print of a particular cut is currently $7 at Kmart.
The sizes are a little limited and I can't say I'm a fan of flowers. But that's very close to half price compared to the next option up.
Looks like I will get even more opportunity to play Jr Network engineer next month. I'm going to run ethernet into my rooms. I'm not at all a professional and don't want to deal with cable terminating or actually wiring things, so the current plan is to take a cable out the back of the router in the lounge room and feed it through a passthrough style wall plate, take it into an AP in room 2, then feed into a switch, then finally take another cable out of that through another passthrough wall plate and into a final wall plate in room 1. Not ideal, and I'm a bit worried about introducing latency, but I'm pretty sure that's the best option I've got for my skill level and what I'm allowed to do to the house. I sprung for gigabit cabling and equipment though, even though it's overkill. Partly in the hopes that it might alleviate some of the latency, but also partly because everything's going to stay here after I move, and it'll probably be a whole century before anybody touches the cabling again lmao
I still haven't gone back looking for the ginger ninja again, and may not have the energy to. I'm in a lot of pain, fighting to manage Melbcat's fiddly health, and facing fresh stressors with the cooked arseholes of my neighbourhood.
Edit: Guilt got to me. I went to check while Moobeans was sleeping, minding the crazies, and actually saw him. Unfortunately he was hanging out firmly on private property. I circled the block but those orange buns were planted in place and I refuse to get done for trespassing. So... Can't take him to the vet for the messed up eyes if he won't come out :/
I got home and Melbcat was awake, crying because I'd left. We're back on the bed now.
This 6pm sunset thing is no bueno. The extra hour of sleep was nice, but in a couple of months we'll be at a 5:30 sunset :/
Hey @Baku@aussie.zone assuming you are talking about the uninspiring frozen cordial that some Australians fantasise about and not the band I'll tell you what happened to them. Probably discontinued due to lack of sales. Unless you had a pair of sharp titanium steel scissors or prepared to gnaw through the packaging like a rat for half a day, they just weren't worth the work. If you were able to penetrate that possible carcinogenic packaging you then had to suck it like a mother's tit which would leave you with a giant ice block. Anyway I look forward to your next question.
*sorry if I crushed someone's nostalgia dream.
Stumbled onto something on insta that has become my comfort watching. Opening sports card packs from the early 90s (north american leagues). I used to collect cards around that time, and the nostalgia hits hard, but in a good way.
Remember that simpsons episode where Lisa gets everyone to eat healthy and they get sick?
That's me today. Urgh.
I have reed avocado and I am impatiently waiting for it to ripen. This thing is as big as 2 hass combined. Have never tried one hope the flavour is good.
Headed out last minute to catch a comedy show as a friend had spare tix. Was alright getting there, but leaving... Ahhh that biting winter wind of Melbourne. Without a puffer or any thermals. 🥶
Renewed appreciation for my warm and comfy bed just hearing the rain fall after a very exciting and hectic afternoon.
Would you believe I had yet another offer come through... at my current workplace?! Temp extra days for several months. On the one hand I could build some good cred/exp. It would probably round me out better.
OTOH, I honestly don't think I'd like most of role I'd be filling in, and the commute... I'm weak. If I didn't have this other option just nearby I'd have gone for it. But I just ain't doing 6:30 wake ups every weekday and dealing with disgruntled members of the public to boot 😬
sunnyboys :) they have an easybeats type sound
First time in ages I've properly put my doona in it's cover and across the whole bed tonight as opposed to only at my feet.
Allegedly it's an utra light summer weight doona. They must be talking about a Scandinavian summer because it's way too hot for an Australian one. It's too warm for most of autumn so far as well truth be told.
Instead of cuddling, I get the sneak attack:
Sydney airport be sooooo humid.
Gross. 😑
Feeling like I've got jetlag from a 1 hour time change. Just did a pre-lunch walk in the sun which has made me feel better. Timed well as ominous clouds approach.
Crikey. Have some bloody rain 🤣
