Re username vs Rowling being a piece of shit, imma just go with SaneMartigan for the new one. I've made an account it's just pending approval.

2 people are probably going to quit in the next month or so.

And so the cycle repeats :(

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Damn homey, you've got shitty luck with workplaces it seems. Hope this one pans out at least, or something better comes along.

read that as "damn, honey" at first, thought you were getting sassy.

Exit row, window seat, winning.
Omg and an empty middle seat?!

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Melbourne will welcome you back with its horrible weather with open arms!

It's... Beautiful..! ๐Ÿฅถ

[โ€“] dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Exit row, middle seat is my jam. Window and the fuselage takes up some of my space. Aisle and the drinks cart (and people) constantly bump into my shoulder which pokes into the aisle. Exit/middle and I've got plenty of leg room, I don't get bumped and I can get up for a wee without bothering anyone.

Pretty awful day to be out and about but it was made bearable through teamwork (can't believe I said that). I might do some work from home tomorrow and see if the cat can be enticed to enjoy some lap time on the oodie. In fact, I might do a bit of that tonight if I feel up to it... sox was remarkably affectionate when I got back and even did a bit of lap sitting in order to furiously headbutt my gloved hand. I suppose she must love the hand that feeds her the treats ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Iโ€™m glad sheโ€™s warming up to you again, did it always take awhile for her to warm up to you?

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

When she was younger and she lived in the same apartment complex at me she was pretty chilled out even on the first day, though it took her longer to get comfy enough for lap time.

This time around she's started off hot but then gone a lot further. I guess there's not much else for her to do in this tiny apt either...

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sheโ€™s settling in fast! Cats struggle with change but she knows sheโ€™s with someone safe

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, I don't think she was too happy at all about having to move and was certainly upset about it at the beginning. But I think food and warmth trumps a lot of misgivings and she definitely remembers me now even though I'm not in the same place.

And I'm back safe and sound. Home in about an hour. Then feet up with beer and a game I haven't been able to play because I didn't bring my laptop to perth

Being a sook tonight. Pizza is on its way then sit and read in bed.

Lame.

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago

I hope everything's alright, but sometimes you need a sook to get it out of your system

It was a little cool down at the beach today. A jumper and slicker was not enough.

There was a pair of masked lapwings and that swan followed me until I left the area.

I found a squishy glitter fish fishing lure and a bunch of fishing line which I picked up and threw in the rubbish

Have removed something the approximate colour and consistency of a pea from my sinuses. Ouch.

I saw someone complaining about whitewashing spartacus and was like...you do realise the dude was essentially bulgarian, right?

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

White =England and Norway and Germany s/

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

People are uneducated. They hear Spartacus was Thracian and have no idea what that means ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Welcome back YarraByte! I hope you had a nice long weekend.

[โ€“] SituationCake@aussie.zone 8 points 1 month ago

I feel cold, even though the heating is on, and Iโ€™m on the couch under a blanket. I hope Iโ€™m not getting the lurgy thats going around.

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I rode to work today, which meant I had to ride home. But weather like this is never as bad as it looks once you're out on the bike

Tired today. Woke up too many times. Going home early.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hugs. Do you have a going to bed and going to bed ritual? A favourite ambient music song you play at bed time can help.

I've gotten myself into the habit of going to bed after 1. Even when I try to go to bed earlier I find myself faffing about and staying up until then. I need to try force myself to go to bed earlier and break the cycle

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

jinx. I was just thinking the same thing.

Got down to the garage and in the car before I realised I still had my slippers on. Great start

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Oh no. I once rocked up to a restaurant with my imitation crocs on. I didn't realise until I'd actually arrive at the destination and was getting out of the car. It was only at Okami but still.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago
