I’m at the ED at hospital. My mum was in a really bad car accident. Thankfully it’s just bruising but it could have been much, much worse. Her car was totalled. Driving up to the accident seeing all the police / ambulance / fire truck lights and then her totalled car was truly scary. I’m just thankful she’s OK. Waiting to do scans to make sure nothing is broken, then I’ll drive her home.
Just went out and there's a for sale sign on the house across the road. The caravan, the trailer, the two cars are gone. This is the same cunt who floors his hotted up torana down the street every weekend and then revs his car outside my place while his wife moves the 2 cars so he can put precious back in the yard. He also yells at his 2 little kids aggressively. Fucking hero. Best day ever.
Back home after picking up my mum from the hospital. I left around 3am once we realised she wasn’t going to get seen by the doctor for hours, and I would be too tired to safely drive her home. Took until 10am to get her scans done, and 3pm to get the all clear, so a long stint in ED. She’s just got some bruises and she’s a bit sore, so glad that’s all it is.
I went to the tow truck place to clear out her car and she’s lucky the collison was on the passenger side and not the driver side, because she would have been severely injured. The other person involved was completely fine, newer car with way more airbags that cushioned the impact.
Barely slept last night and all the driving around today, I’m exhausted.
Yay: my mum got her eye surgery moved forward after much pressure
Nay: it's on Anzac Day and my aunt can't go and flights are stupidly expensive but at least my aunt has offered to chip in.
Looks like I might be doing a week back in the equatorial concrete jungle soup. Maybe a good opportunity to focus on writing uni stuff... Shame it's my favourite time of the year in melbs but honestly all that is irrelevant when my mum's eyes are at stake.
Lady in office today has no concept of an indoor voice.
Mentioned it to my boss and he said that's why he never comes in on Wednesdays.
What a beautiful day outside today.
Oh it’s so glorious.
Last day out at this site that would seemingly never end. So badly quoted... not my problem though. I'm glad today is it. Can't say I'm going to miss wrangling the drivers of the M1.
Had a long text chat last night with a friend at my old workplace who was stressed out of their mind after being dressed down by a client due to providing faulty data... it was a continuation of a big job I'd done a few years ago and while I think I was able to help my friend work out what happened on the technical side of things, and how to respond, I saw an excerpt of the email he received and I'm still residually stressed out this morning even though it's not my problem at all now haha. I most definitely don't miss those days (even though the original job was one of the more rewarding ones that we did really well out of). Had a moment of reflection on the really really shitty year I had with flaming out badly and getting bullied by my boss and I'm so happy I was able to come out of it on the other side and look back without too much pain.
I just got confirmation the car dealer has received my bank transfer. So I can now stop stressing & the pickup tomorrow is ready to go.
Now I'll have to get used to the blinkers being on the other side. Plus the fuel tank is on the opposite side to what I'm used to. At least it's not as much of an adjustmant as Mr Woof will have to make, he'll need to get used to travelling in a crate instead of having the whole back seat.
Lesson learned: do not let man with poor eyesight that's been up 15 hours install window film
I want so badly to draw or do something but not enough to actually be able to do it. It’s like my mind and body are fried.
Almost a week after the iron infusion I’m still aching, nauseous, have a splitting headache and going between hot and cold.
Something disastrous happened the other day. We eat a lot of pine nuts so whilst in aldi I thought I'd grab some more. I didn't check. Just through them in like an amateur. Well, when I got home, I realised they were pepita seeds. Some turd put them in the pine nut box! Wtf am I gonna do with pepita seeds? I already have some in the cupboard. Luckily I have cashews to save the day.
My own fault for not checking that one time.
Some 10 Min dreams last weeks and some hours long dreams last minutes.
Had to log in install an app and allow location (which I will be turning off) just to be able to print a test page and run the head cleaning thing… on a printer.
I swear ten years ago this crap would have seemed like malware. Requiring a full colour cartridge to print b+w is definitely a scam.
No black is printing despite it saying the cartridge has some. Waiting on a second level clean and next I’m going to try installing new drivers.
Missing my hulking reliable old printer scanner and wishing I didn’t buy a HP.
We are very vampire proof today.
Outside of here the internet is so loudly full of young teens and children. I avoid anywhere they might be expected to hang around and move to places for adults - but they are also there and that’s actually worse.
Not a new thing but now they don’t hide their ages and in fact they make it your problem. The behaviour is also much more inappropriate and disruptive.
Please just let me enjoy my downtime or occupy myself when unwell. -_-
