Night all ❤️
(if I get more than 2 hours sleep in a row tonight I'm buying a rotisserie chicken for the strays)
I'm a stray 👀
It's your lucky day mate lol
Just sent my biggest client proposal yet (in terms of the $$ it will bring in). I think I've reeled this client in to using me but I can never be sure. I'm always worried about being too expensive too but also need to charge my worth and what is fair, I ain't out here to be the cheapest provider. Fingers crossed they go ahead. This will be a big moment for me if I get this work.
🤞
🤞🏾
Work from home tomorrow since I'm still sick. I might treat it as an unofficial sick day since I couldn't take half a week off because of this conference
Back in Melbs. Needed those few days.
Almost tripped over 2 possums on the way in. They just casually walked in front of me, climbed the gate slowly then jumped into a tree and sat there. I was about 30cm away.. weren't fazed by me at all which is weird.
Good evening possposs. It's their house now, sorry
Like the magpies here. They’ll wander closer and look you in the eye!
I don’t want to
don’t
Delicious salad. I can feel the vitamins flow through me
I've got left over Chinese for lunch and I'm counting down!
That might be the fibre…
Here's something that made me think a bit today whilst reading the instructions on chana dal.
Place uncooked chana dal into a bowl with 4 cups of water and allow to soak for 30 minutes. Rinse well, drain and set aside.
What difference does it make how much water I put in if I'm gonna rinse and drain anyway. I was a rebel and I put more in and smiled.
It would make more sense if they said "atleast 4 cups".
I haven't written an industrial track in almost 6 months. Finally got some decent ideas and it's flowing.
Fuck yes!
We've not had a Nellie update this calendar year I think. I'm disinclined to renew based upon the echo. Thoughts?
Maybe Nellie has died and they don't want to tell us?
Maybe she was headbutted by a giraffe?
I certainly hope not, but that would deserve an update!
Fair call. If they can't be bothered to keep you/us updated, do they need your money.
Paper cut. Ooowie! Sometimes the littlest things hurt most.
Ouch :/
Melbcat has been cuddling with her head buried in my chest. And now she’s on my lap. 🥰 She’s so beautiful. I hope I get a long time with her yet.
I love cats and especially her
**+^%# tonights clean had an unmitigated disastrous last hour, i had a containment breach, accidentally put a fcking hole in the dirty water bucket (while it was full, of course), the floor level run had multiple fcking barkface textured bricks full of nooks and crannies crammed with paint (so full i had not realised they were textured), and i busted my fucking head open on the bbq.
My jimmies, they are rustled.
Work complete. Beer, or no beer?
Beer.
Defs beer.
Ponder the question with a frosty beer.
Always beer
Coffee coffee coffee
2 days gym in a row and slept worse than normal. Today will be day 3. If it doesn’t work tonight I’m getting off this pill.
It’s hard to function like this. Moody, tired can’t be fucked doing anything.
Close to 2 years now.
Have had fun trying out some video editing software to make some cute little clips from the recent holidays. It's fun and I'm already excited to do more!
Haircut, gym and shopping done.
Time for some rest 💤
Today's song you may have forgotten about: Love & Rockets
Does anyone own the Sony WH1000XM4 headphones? They are on sale right now and I am considering buying them. But I do have earbuds already and don't know if it's worth it. I know they will make me happy for a while but I could also be happy without them. They might also be too big for my head.
I've got the XM3's as well and I absolutely love them. My manager has the 4s and he adores them. Highly recommend!
I've got the XM3's and I think they're great. Use them almost every day, battery still good after 6+ years.
I have them, they’re great headphones. Are your earbuds noise cancelling? That’s the main benefit of using the XM4’s. They have great sound too.
Can you try them on in store?
I have the Sony WF1000XM4 earbuds actually and I like them, but I'm kind of sick of having things in my ears. They are good for portability though.
Yep, I might try them on in store.
I've got the 3s as well and they've been great. The 4s have multi device so they can be connected to two devices at once.
Not enough for me to upgrade but worth it for anyone buying for the first time.
Also, the 5s lose the folding headband so the 4s can become more compact
What's your use case?
One of the biggest weaknesses of the XM4 is that they don't fold like their predecessors or successors.
If you want to carry it around a lot, it might not make sense to buy them compared to what you already have, or one of the other models.
It turns out I have beef stew in the freezer. I did not know this
They accidentally sent me a month of salary plus annual leave entitlements.
Was so tempted to keep it and ignore their request to return the rest but decided against it.
i'm upset no one thinks a giraffe can headbutt a panda
Here's what national geographic has to say:
Yes they can and the panda loses every time.
It proves my point.. that yes.. actually.. wait I forgot the question.
I saw it like a cartoon. You know in the Lion King when they're all singing and the giraffes are swinging their necks around? And suddenly BAM, Panda!
A panda could headbutt a giraffe, but the giraffe might not even notice. Or it might slip over like it was on rollerskates.
