Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Hi witchy! Let us burn all the fake op shops and unleash the numbats of DOOM. I'll put the kettle on while I darn this ~~cock~~ sock
Now that's a plan!
PSA seen on the other place: check public transport seat for needles.
Today I have misused my executive power to put googly eyes on the shredder.
They all think I'm mad but are too polite to say so.
Approved! ๐๐
This week has flown by. Been super busy at work. Miniest got accepted into her choice of secondary school! (Big yay). She's also being allowed on her first school camp ever ๐ณMr P got himself some new false teeth and now has to get used to them. Have been watching one of my personal favourite online communities (Imgur) become enshittified and have been looking for an alternative. There's just nothing quite like it out there, and I had my little community there, but now everyone is scattering. Fuck you medialab ai.
Thank you all for the well wishes on my presentation. One part went well but the other did not. I got some useful feedback though.
Now I will be watching the new Naked Gun movie from the comfort of my couch. I've been wanting to go to the movies for a while now, but I cbf.
Interview done... lasted less than 15 minutes but felt okay. We'll see what happens next.

I work with a bloke who I disliked from day 1. Don't know why. Something about him irritated me and I couldn't get past it.
Today I realised why. He looks like Dave Hughes (hope he's okay given his injuries)
Iโm so fucking buzzed off rehearsal last night!!!!!!
Plus I got to play a real drum kit and yeah, the electronic one is great but the real one is fucking amazing.
Apparently Iโm going to the gym today then thatโs me. I have to go and re-setup all my gear from last night so joys of cabling here we go.
LOVE this for you, that's so awesome!
Thank you! And the gym has paid off Iโm getting rid of migraines! I used to play for 20 mins and have to stop.
Yesterday I played for 6 HOURS!!
Wild shit haha
Second interview this afternoon with the guy who didn't like me too much the other day and the business HR leader. Then weeeeeeekend!
Just warning you all that Imgur front page is full of NSFW and boobs as a protest, in case you want to specifically avoid that kind of thing.
Ha! I quit years ago when they banned NSFW. Was the only use I had for it.
I'm not going to the beach today ๐จ
I need skirt weights!
This is definitely a heater, bathrobe and doona on the couch evening.
Gym done.
Nap and lunch done.
Just have to re do the cabling (joy of joys lol) and the great zonk can begin.
Tonight it's just practice and video games but tomorrow night I'm heading to an event called:
Divorced Dads Grunge Night lol
Can't wait to see what it's like.
Edit:
You're right Gibson. A 2nd nap is a great idea.

my groceries are getting expensive, I notice there have been many price rises of 20-30%
from now on I'm printing out all receipts to keep track
tho looking at my pantry and fridge I am well stocked up , I could probably eat for 2-3 months and only buy some fresh fruit and veg
What a week, just finished working. Iโm exhausted. Well deserved pint & burger before I head home.
Made it down the beach last night. Ended up building the 'puter. No mishaps. Certainly the fastest thing I've ever used.
Ended up going w/ win 11 ltsc. So far so good. No bunch of useless shit on there straight out of the gates.
And it's quiet even at load. Can hear the second hand of the clock in the other room when it's idle lol.
Only hitting 50c after an hour of prime95 which is wild. Obviously didn't bugger the thermal paste.
Now have to reinstall all the audio things which takes for ever.
Have a look at a script called win11debloat. Trust me man.
And I hear you about the plugins/daw installations. Would love to do a fresh install but fuck all that lol
Currently tossing up whether to build a or buy a prebuilt PC. Current one I'm using I didn't build and it's a bit of a monster put together over a few years with the last upgrades done in 2019. Boyo just nabbed a prebuilt and it's actually a great machine.
My old PC, Athena (yeah I name all my devices), I built, and she was a beast. I'm currently using a pre-built PC (Minerva) as it was just easier than buying PC components and building it myself at the time (one bedroom prison cell in the CBD).
The pre built is a small machine, it's very easy to move around, and runs the vast majority of games I like to play perfectly. It's a bit outdated now (bought in 2020), but it's really good!
I bought it from Tecs Pty on La Trobe St in the CBD. Also got two gaming chairs from them, and wheeling them back to my apartment along city streets is a memory I won't forget ๐๐
Last night, I woke up after only four hours of sleep, and then an hour later, dog started vomiting whole pieces of his food. Then I started to fall asleep, and had a nightmare that I was being held at gunpoint. Really great sleep. I have to give a presentation today. I think the lack of sleep was some kind of subconscious stress or the decaf English Breakfast tea I accidentally drank before bed.
Oh that sucks. All the best for the presentation - you got this even after a night like that. And then you have non stressed sleep to look forward to ๐ด
my god finally a sunny day in perth. can't wait til it starts regularly cracking over 20, i am so TIRED of this winter!!!
Iโm entirely ready for the weekend, but Friday keeps getting in the way
