A friend and I have been asking each other each week what we're looking forward to this week, and I wanted to do it with more people! So, what are you bunch looking forward to this week?

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 7 points 4 months ago

Heading down the beach hopefully Thurs. for a day or two off.

Getting a cheapo metal file to reshape and sharpen an axe and refurbishing the handle.

Chopping wood lol.

Also getting a new fast 'puter and building that but the axe is more exciting.

Watching the new Naked Gun this weekend (day and time undecided)

Trying a new pizza dough recipe for Friday's dinner

Catching up with a former colleague for coffee this week

Putting in 3-4 solid days on the mats in the gym

Band rehearsal, job applications (oddly lol), maybe a night out on the weekend on the cheap.

It’s basic but just having a regular week where I can move more freely. Going back to social sports after a few weeks off. Last week was awful from my back injury and the constant pain.

Busy work week but should get some good stuff done. Three week holiday/conference BIG TRIP overseas on the weekend.....eeeek

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Obviously don't have to share but can I ask what line of work you're in? I feel like conferences overseas typically happen in science and technology!

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

It is exactly science and tech! I work as a tech/programmer but in the environment space. I'm very much looking forward to the conference because its a great group of people and I feel like we are doing something just a little bit positive (environmental stuff can get pretty depressing sometimes)
