Melbourne

References all good. Contract coming in now!!!!!!!! Fuuuuuuck yeeaaaaaah.

We've had a break in at our office overnight! So far nothing appears stolen, but the office is crawling with cops blowing fingerprint dust everywhere.

Lunch break. I have achieved gozleme and am pleased

Cheers 🍺

For those who care, Canada beat the USA in the 4 Nations hockey tournament, in overtime.

A great day for Canada, therefore the entire the Commonwealth and largely the world.

One of the great things about getting into work early is there's no one there to notice you got in 5 minutes late

-wake up

• win10 work machine rebooted update overnight closing all open docs despite explicitly being told not to cheers ya fuckhead
• Win7 machine decides it now hates name resolution
• tweak dns / set to dhcp, no go
• flush dns no go
• pull up dns repository and see some freah adobe hell in there
• use win10 machine to scoop latest blacklist for hosts file while i'm at it
• win 7 machine won't talk to win10 machine or ping (talks to everything else) but win10 can ping win 7

Oh. It's gonna be one of those days.

That was an alright sort of day. Feel like I've been operating on autopilot... anyway it's good to be home to a pre-cooled lounge room, time to heat up a hearty dinner and enjoy this week's tv! My favourite thing about Fridays atm 🥳

What's everyone's plans for the weekend? I've got to list these dang little items on fbm before my rental inspection in two weeks, and probably do more bulk cooking. Nothing much else otherwise. Try and finish Juice, I guess

Just trapped a wolf spider in the sink. Couldn't get out. Damn fast buggers. But I will be merciful.

Gonna take it outside

E: Oops. Resident magpie saw me do that.. RIP wolf spider.

I am very much over trying to move and photograph heavy things to sell. Especially because there is not much room to move them in. But I've been having a good run on Marketplace and hopefully these will all be cleared out and I can stop tripping over them. buying that antique post drill press seemed a much better idea when I didn't realise how big and heavy it was! Getting it to the front door if I manage to sell it is going to be quite a workout.

Aaaaah... Bed... Nice to put the feet up at last

Well that was surprisingly not so difficult. REA was on leave and had no auto reply but when I called the agency they were very attentive, escalated to another PM who called me then got in touch with the owners and scheduled in a maintenance request all within 2 hours. Pumber called at lunch, they'll come in on Monday. I guess it's a good thing the next two days are gonna be hot so I won't really need the hot water anyway!

Relieved it didn't involve a whole lot of back and forth and procrastinating from the REA/dodgy edit.

Downside of new house, no Pokestops! Plenty a short wander away, but no ability to just drop a lure and stay home if the weather is vile. I shall have to do something about this...

What up party people

Looks like my good run on marketplace is at an end. Today's buyer was a no show, and the person who made an offer on another item yesterday has ghosted. I knew it was too good to last!

I need to restock my snack tin.

I will be taking suggestions. Savoury or sweet are equally acceptable to me, but please bear in mind my snack tin is a pretty standard rectangular biscuit tin in terms of size.

I’ve been to Whistler Blackcomb a couple of times. That’s really all I know of Canada.

So based on that limited experience, 6/5 Hobbits

Taught the kid how to play gin rummy. She did good.

Transporting baby Gibson next door to my landlords place for babysitting.

God I love 80s anime

Cat tax to cleanse the eyes of all those who dared to read my witchy-toes update. I gotchu fam

sky pretty

omg, I got quite burnt yesterday

also got a hair cut, was tired of longish hair, always getting caught in it when I'm I'm trying to sleep , got 15 cm off

and got a bunch of stuff to give away today, I'll just put it out in the courtyard

My main gurl letting us know her thoughts:

Test run sedating the cats. TheVoid isn't visibly affected but the LittleOne is utterly out of his gourd.

The amount of blankets I had on last night was ridiculous, considering how warm it is going to be today...

Life on the upside (because I'm only a misanthropic misery guts 99.¯9% of the time)... Yesterday, I got an unexpected message from a beautiful soul I know and I passed one unit with an unexpected mark (like the bell curve must have been hell skewed, but I'll take it damn it!).

I mean, how can I even feel sorry for myself half the time the way I do? I should kick me the backside.

Have an amazing day, DDT fam!

Frustrated at today. Today should be peaceful and stress free.

Total opposite and not getting through my work as fast as I’d like.

She won 2/4 hands. Lol.

Any Murderbot fans out there? Apple TV is releasing a show based on the books. Very excited but fascinated to see if it works - the books are great largely because of murderbot's internal dialogue...
