Daily Discussion Thread: Thu 24 Aug 2023
Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Been to pub. Mildly inebriated (this word took me three attempts on the phone keyboard)
Everyone's got that one co-worker who doesn't bloody listen, right?
TWICE today I've tagged something as "need to discuss with team lead, leave this alone and I'll come back to it when I have an answer"
Twice today he's ignored that tag. He's done the work as though I hadn't said anything...and his answers have proven to be the wrong ones.
Twice today I've had to go back and fix his mistakes, on work he shouldn't have been doing because I specifically said I was investigating something about it and needed to confirm I was right.
DAMN IT, DUDE, STOP TOUCHING MY STUFF
My culinary experiment today was very successful. I took one microwave sausage roll, heated it as per instructions, then took it out of its sleeve and air fried it for 5 minutes. It went from a 3/5 yum yums to a 4/5 yum yums.
(Please note that 5/5 yum yums is reserved for homemade sausage rolls only).
Final night of night rotation and then it's back to the land of the living, thank goodness. Thinking of doing a spot of antiquing this weekend, I need to find another nice tea set for the tea party I'm throwing.
Arghhh I decided to be all healthy and go for a walk last night, but unfortunately the circuit I picked out took about 2 hours when I was expecting it to only take about 30-40 mins. But by the time I realised, it felt pointless to start backtracking so I kept going. It's been a while since I walked that much, and it was nice, until I ran out of energy 😭
So I'm still thinking about that planner, I probably will get it and do it on afterpay since it'll be like $25 every two weeks (I also want some pens from the shop that I really like, Zebra Sarasa!). But I went to see if I have a notebook available so it can tie me over until 2024, and I found my 2020 Bullet Journal, I did Bujo-ing since like 2016 maybe 2015 so I was in the deeps with this thing. But because 2020 was well... 2020, I stopped using it because there wasn't really a point to it. But around March I started journaling essentially, and I'm reading through my thoughts and I'm so thankful for past self doing it because, yeah. Though the ADHD really shown through in 2020 because I'm talking about my stint with rollerskating (I wanna get back into it but chronic pain 😭
But in April, I said "I'm not too sure what else to put here. Most of days are at home but I guess this is for me when I'm older, if they look back at it. To you, I hope you're safe <3" and I cried. Sorry this is so long, but I have a lot of feelings.
Ordered a home delivered rat test. Fingers crossed it's not covid...
I went to Aldi for some groceries today.
Bought a little bit too more than I bargained for and had to cut back on some stuff.
No party pies sadly. Their single frozen sausage rolls are 1.99 each. Almost tempting but I went for t-Rex chicken nuggets and guess what I found?
Hash browns! Mislabeled and all but I grabbed a bag of those too. 1kg for $4.69.
Also frankfurts went up by 40 cents a pack :(
I think I need to bake something tonight (not myself). I want to make lasagne. Or cupcakes. Both! All of the things.
I've got a massive zit where one would have a moustache if one should choose that lifestyle.
Disco music is becoming a real dirty pleasure of mine lately. Started with the movie The Martian of all places. Feel strange walking around listening to a bit of Boney M.
Marmalade remade, lemon juice added and a bit of pectin. Put some star anise on top and it smells like a German cake shop. yum
I don't have a photo but you can totally put lemon garlic broccoli in an cashu chicken.
Broccolui recipy:

chashu chick is nagi's.
If I were veg I'd just do shit takes .
Idea is you're 3/4 way there for the cashoo, your mind turns to broccoli and then you just throw the whole thing together and the lemon actually compliments the dish you're butchering.
Bring on the warm weather, I am sick of wearing jumpers and ooodie.
Based on the number of enquiries about my outdoor furniture I think I underpriced it 🤣 It does mean it should be gone this afternoon, and I will have 1/3 of the estimated garden project cost covered, so that is a good result. Once it's gone I'll be able to make a start on pulling up some paving.
Felt actually hungry for the first time in a couple of days. Ordered Chinese food. I couldn't taste it except for the spicy soup, which I could almost taste, but which inexplicably had chunks of pineapple and raw tomato floating around in it. Not sure what kind of Chinese food that is lol. The steamed dim Sims looked like a couple of brains. The chicken satay skewers were done in a batter, which I haven't encountered before and hopefully won't again.
I bought the book Legends and Lattes on Saturday and I'm a little over 100 pages and it makes me so happy. It's so cute. I've heard people really love it or really dislike it. I hope I like it by the end. But so far, really enjoying it! I highly recommend it to people who like fantasy settings similar to Dungeons and Dragons, or cozy murders (so far no murder but it's called a cozy fantasy). I'm not even a fan of fantasy myself and I'm enjoying this.
The newspapers are looking good today.
This shit is WILD. International secretive art dealing and tax dodging!
@Duenan@aussie.zone I loaded up on the discount herring today, thanks for the tip!

Already went to sleep but woke up, apparently to listen to: The Roots - You Got Me
I've always worn my Minnie Mouse costume with pants but was planning to wear it with stockings and shorts tomorrow only to be told by my mum that it's too short. I would ordinarily just brush it off but it stuffs up my whole plan for tomorrow as I'm leaving from work to go to dinner and I was planning to change into a dress, but now I'd have to go to work in pants and a top, carry my costume to wear over top and carry a dress, stockings and shorts (to prevent chub rub) and my brain just can't compute that. Also not even sure what dress I'm wearing tomorrow night let alone what shoes/boots to wear that I can just wear all day and there's no dress code. So basically I'm on a spiral and instead of coming up with a solution I'm sitting on my bed paralysed by the indecision and uncertainty.
I'm hoping the snuffly feeling is two days consecutive lawn mowing (ours yesterday, next door's today) plus the wood fire + burning old documents and not What's Going Around...
- the amount of times I look at my watch and I see this is bizarre. And, no, I don't mean once or twice a day...like, I don't see it's 1:23 or 3:45 all the time...
