LL has suddenly requested I remove all my plants from the balcony immediately because of alleged damage and complaints (currently unsubstantiated), and is going to do an inspection in 11 days. This sounds like she's on the warpath now and wants to force me out.
Of course I can't get any advice on what my rights are until Monday, but for now I've sent an email asking for some evidence. I'm not removing my plants just like that.
I don't feel safe or happy at all. I don't really wanna go back to the apartment right now.

I had a little adventure. I had to drive the Kluger home. I've only driven an auto once in 20 years. Anyway I got home and realised I didn't know how to turn it off. A phone call later sorted that out. I then took the little doolackey out of the console and locked it. I checked to make sure it's locked by the door handle and it beeped at me and the mirrors opened up. Did it again. Same. Shamefully I did it again. Same. So I spent 20 minutes outside babysitting an unlocked car. Technology hates me and i hate technology.
Anyway cheers you smarter more competent tech people 🍺
One prac assessment completed and submitted, all the work done yesterday and checked by teacher.
All is well, I can do this!
The culprit was sulphites in the fruit
Off to start my workday. Meeting in a cafe, which is nice
So, BIG project due end of year (wasn't enough time in the first place) has had a sudden and abrupt change of course. Because of course it has. All our comms and training material need to be completely redone. And I'm finding the phrase "Do it yourselves motherfuckers" is rolling around in my head, but not yet my lips. edit: gonna delete the teams here, but rest assured they are all idiots.
And the only thing we all have in common is we think the project is unrealistic, deliverable and the head of IT is an idiot.
What's the etiquette around calling about a job after it closes? I put in for a job I really want and it closed today.
I'll bedamned if I leave it in god's hands from here. Do I call on Monday mentioning I have some ideas I'd like to put in a presentation if I get an interview? Something to tease their curiosity a bit?
A blackbird flew in the other week. I caught it before it hurt itself or my stuff and tossed it back outside. Now I swear I keep catching it inside the doorway a little. It sounds kinda bird racist but I can't tell it apart from other blackbirds, aside from it's female/brown. I read that patting a birds head is a bit sexy for them, maybe I've got a blackbird admirer, she probably only wants me for me bread/cheese crumbs.
For the metal heads in here, a new Blood Incantation album just dropped. It incorporates their prog elements with their metal side of things really well. First impressions are I really like it and it just might be my album of the year.
The zucchini seeds are already sprouting… that was fast. Not all have started but a fair few have - one is even way ahead of the others and has its first set of leaves
I can't believe people are still bothered by daylight savings. I get it if you have kids. That's a different kettle of fish but gee if you're a grown arse adult I can think of a million and one other things to be shitty about.
Forced downtime so trying to take advantage and somewhat death clean myself.
Stuff = 1, Moi = 0
Why are there just some things that are inconvenient to store nicely. Yes, I have a gazillion ring-bound manuals. No, I haven’t opened them in forever. Yes, I need them.
Ugh. Cupboards are both the best and worst.
Nigh nighs
Have made a Dr appointment for tomorrow. I've got these weird things which came up on my arms in a few spots in the past couple of weeks. Thought they were ringworm or similar fungal thing, was treating them with OTC topical cream. Was wondering how TF I got it. But the cream didn't work and they've flared up hugely as a result of my treatment 😳☹️ The same thing happened with my feet a couple of years ago; I thought it was tinea, treated it accordingly and the whole situation got instantly massively worse and it turned out to be eczema.
we might have some beautiful aurorae tonight if we are lucky 🙂
it's a radiohead kinda day karma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uYWYWPc9HU
Bought a lil indie game called Tiny Glade. Super fucking chill, no management, no quests, no objectives. Just some basic tools, cute, tilt-shifted graphics, and you build a tiny lil town. It's adorable and so so relaxing. I was worried for a moment about it being perhaps too barebones, but I've built a main street, a lil castle, raised some land and made a flower hill with a lake, and made a silo. There's a lot they could add, but it's a bit procedural in a way (increasing/decreasing the size and shape of a building causes it to generate to make sense). Coloured everything I could colour. I have so much more to build for my little hamlet
Well plans changed with my having to help family with their stuff and also with me making a stuff up so I ended up not having much to spend on myself in the end.
I've limited myself to a coffee so far.
The cafe I'm sitting at wanted 15 dollars for a chicken schnitzel roll with a layer of lettuce, 3 slices of tomato and it didn't look too big.
Maybe I'm just being too critical.
was kinda invited ( a plus 1 ) to fam b'day party
but near everyone there hates me, even had people shun me or call me names. mil constantly disses and baits me with hate , and many are raging bigots/haters
but I kinda understand and like the b'day girl, she tries hard to be a good person ( tho she never contacts me , i never contact her )
don't want to go, won't go, but will send gifts because maybe one day they will learn to look at how people behave and learn to not listen to gossip
Dinner tonight is burgers flavoured with 7 spice mix, this time I'm doubling the quantity of spice to 2 giant spoons
rice with almonds and lemon juice
and some salad
Aussie women’s T20 on tonight at 1am against Pakistan.
I’m going to try and stay up for it again.
I think it’s available on Amazon Prime if you have a sub with them.
I really struggled with the playlist today so I've started with an hour of oldies then we'll play the rest on the fly. It always starts nice and demure with something like Dion and ends in something like Disturbed with flashing lights, more shots and heavy bass.
Opening night of Come From Away by CLOC was so fun. Love the show and they did an excellent job. I may have cried a few times.
grrr why does some dick have to use their phone watching videos without having headphones or something and sit next to me.
