Happy Lemmy Daily Thread Anniversary: https://aussie.zone/post/13234, for real this time.
Hi everyone - thank you again for all your good wishes. This means a lot to me.
Home again after a marathon opshoppery - haul includes: two (two!) gucci sweaters in my size, one black one blue. Some tailored winter wool trousers in black. All in good nick. Am sorted this winter and probably next. A rather beautiful carnival glass ashtray which I will use as a housekeys dumpspot. Some nice costume jewellery - a brass chain necklace of thin ceramic plaques hand painted with autumn leaves, a brooch made from a small turtle shell (sans turtle) with I think gold fittings and a couple of rock crystal necklaces that I am going to repurpose at some point in the future. I do like Reservoir for opshoppery, and Essendon is stupendous - I had no idea the opshops were so good there. Definitely worth a trip out to that part of town. Fitzroy & Collingwood and Thornbury were all a bit disappointing.I am feeling quite lost and down with recent work developments. This is my first "real" job and it's quite hurtful how little senior management values me (and everyone else). Have been unable to sleep well recently with ruminations re: future prospects, the whole negotiating new role, and now... leaving this employer. They literally don't give a fuck and are dispensing with good staff just to maintain this power of "no we won't give anyone a raise, doesn't matter what". We're paid significantly below average for our roles and it fucking sucks. Our brand means there is a horde of new applicants just waiting, and everyone is viewed as dispensable. Idk I just want to rant about it. First time looking to leave a long term role too 😞 now I'm going to bed because I had three hours sleep last night, and the last week my sleep has been fucked in general just overthinking
Uh oh. I have a feeling the Bad Sads are coming up, the kind where everything looks miserable and the smallest thing not going the way I want makes me feel hopeless and sad and like a failure. It's 12 days before my period should be starting so I don't think it's that... It's this damn weather, I swear. I bought yet more fennel yesterday. I'm going to roast a whole bulb and scarf it down ;_;
So much snot! Coughing up chunks of it. so over this!
I'm trying to find things to enjoy and am getting so excited about trying new things in life, like new foods, going to a different uni next year, travelling, working full-time more or less permanently. But at the same time, nothing excites me? It's strange.
I have a trial drums lesson organised, doing a fitness challenge, planning a social thing once a week, and going to start therapy in a couple of days. All this effort to work on myself just feels a bit futile. I know these things are going to be good for me, yet part of me is not convinced.
Maybe I just have to get through things and then they will become enjoyable. What a weird state to be in.
I'm phenomenally sleepy today. Normally I'm not on my phone at work but I simply cannot summon any enthusiasm or concentration whatsoever. Holiday mode hit me too hard.
Was nice wandering around South Yarra after my haircut. I used to live around that area a while ago and I feel really nostalgic.
Everything is so alive compared to the outer suburbs. Might have to trade the house to myself for an apartment in the future.
Cat has taken up residence in front of the heater
Finally starting to feel a bit better - still coughing up a lung, but my sinuses feel clearer. Some energy today, but I notice it runs out - got to be careful to not overdo it.
Nope, still don't want to get out of bed despite falling asleep on time.
Winters suuuuuck. I'm so glad I only need to get up early twice a week
Sleep bad. Day bad. Can today be delayed?
Time to swim to work I guesss
Finished the day early. Too tired 😴 could stay and click buttons but I'd be so slow and make mistakes better to go home and rest.
Edit. I did manage to sneak in my lunch break before calling it though. Had Vietnamese boat noodles for the first time. Omg I was blown away. The broth is thick and so flavourful - it has pork blood in in it. Lots of delicious meaty goodies and some rice noodles. I am a big fan of all things noodle-soup, and this might be my new favourite honestly. Yes I'm including ramen and pho in that list
Love it when the fix for a PC issue is "go to the BIOS", when the issue is the PC won't even load to the point that BIOS is an option. Partner's 10 year old PC is basically dead (thinks it needs to load from a USB, when it doesn't and never has), so mine is now The Family Computer.
Which is fine for now, I'm addicted to Slice'n'Dice on my phone anyway lol

Are we getting spambots on Lemmy now? I pasted that comment into Google Translate and it's some ad for ghostwriting
Has anyone here had experience bringing a bunch of Facebook pages under the one Business Account? I'm working with a business that's trying to sort out all the pages for their sub-brands, but some just aren't moving across. If I can get this sorted for them I might be able to pick up some extra work with them further down the line.
I'd ask somewhere else but I can't find the right place on Lemmy to ask
Pretty sure I haven't fallen back to sleep since 1.30 🙃
Cold grey morning, clouds like lead,
Rolling, rolling overhead.
The rain has washed me clean and dead,
Rolling, rolling overhead.Cold air seeps through my hair and head,
Warmth leaks out of my pillows and bed,
Cold grey morning, clouds like lead,
Rolling, rolling overhead.I know it's cold, I know there are germs out there but I am stir crazy and need a walk. Will wear a coat and mask.
night nurofen has been taken, now for maybe some pain free sleep
found a few interesting old LPs at the opshop today.
one had a tune that I hadn't heard since the 1960s, it was a Cold War radio hit, I loved it then and still remember it well
