Alright. I'm ready for this interview. Here we go!!!!
i just released a long loud fart, now i must wait for the person in the next toilet cubicle to leave first
Oh I forgot to mention something from the kiddos music students performance thingo on the weekend which I noticed. 95-05 era fashion is BACK!! The kids looked like they were transported directly from my youth. Baggy/grungy looks are in, which pleases me as it was the most comfortable time to look cool.
Can confirm. My kids are all about loose and comfy wear.
Big jeans, big jumpers. Even a touch of flannel.
I got me some cargo pants the other week, they're back in and the extra pockets are so practical.
Got my Bavarian dessert out of the freezer. Laughed at the 6 servings suggestion. Ate 3 serves with whipped cream.
"suggestions". They know what they're doing.
F me, 72 comments here 34 at the other place... we really made up the bulk of noise hey.
Can't believe it's only Tuesday wtf
It went ok-ish. I stumbled at the tech question. So we'll see.
That's ok though, another on Thursday with a different place and that's pure account management.
I don't know what is up with the lady who lives next door in the disability housing, but every damn day I hear her dry retching. Full on HUAUGH! multiple times in a row, echoing in the alley.
So glad I don't get nauseous from hearing someone retch. And my partner, who does get sick from hearing it, is a bit deaf so he can't hear her. Idk how he can't hear her, she's audible to me even when I'm inside.
HUAUGH HUAUGH
Some disabilities come with chronic nausea 👍 Or something like cyclic vomiting syndrome. Probably the simplest explanation.
Still not fun to hear, sounds distressing. I swear Aussie builds are so shit and close together
Feels like I’m disconnected. Trying to remember that my emotions and all that are always there even if my anxiety is blocking me, and that even if it feels impossible I can step back from the parts of my brain that are misfiring. And it works, I can do it. But then it fades away and my brain is desperate for this big “click” moment where everything locks into place and it’s not getting that.
Getting the feeling todays gonna be a grab bag of compromises and “that’ll have to do”.
I know what you mean by the click moment. Anxiety is a thief that tries to steal our confidence. Some days all you feel like you're doing is chipping away at slivers of victory and completion. It sucks, but it's ok. A day of some small wins is still a day worth having.
Success! I helped this business getone of their Facebook pages under their business portfolio. They had been trying to do this for months and it seemed like they had done everything.
I thought I may not be able to do it because what could I try they haven't? But I did it.
This might lead to a bit more work back in the musical instrument wholesale industry. Working in a space you care about really makes a difference
There's a pizza place near me open until 1am. So if you order a pizza after midnight you can get the Tuesday special.
One of the benefits of ordering online. I don't know if they'd allow it if you called or went in store
Oh great, auspost are fucking with my deliveries again
In violation of an ombudsman agreement
This should be fun
Today is the 40th anniversary of Princes album Purple Rain. I will show my appreciation by dancing about the house to it.
Things I'm grateful for today:
Cumulus clouds ? 
Doggo 
What a gorgeous pup.
I'm grateful that I don't have to get up early on these cold mornings. And for warm socks. And the really delicious kiwifruit I had on my breakfast today, and the lovely afternoon sun that's coming through now.
Also this fluffy boy, light of my life:
Maybe we should make the gratitude comment a part of the daily thread!
I'll go next: I caught up with someone who brought their dog (I didn't realise they were going to), and we got to relax in a dog park for a bit
My head hurts and my nose is blocked and I just feel generally icky today ☹️
Good news from the dentist - nothing obvious (and therefore expensive) showed up on the x-ray he took. Therefore it's either a post COVID toothache (which apparently is a thing) a sinus thing or something irritating the gum. He's given me antibiotics and we'll see how we go.
I forgot how good real coffee is! First time I've had a non-maccas coffee in about 2 weeks and MY GOD it was incredible. I audibly moaned, I WISH that was a joke.
The 7-eleven coffee is far better than it has any right to be for $2. Plus you can reliably obtain it when real coffee shops have closed.
I don't think I've ever moaned while sipping it, but you make allowances for the price.
Toothache still here - got an appointment this afternoon which unfortunately clashed with the shift this afternoon.
The guy I spoke to didn't sound too impressed. Tough. Especially since he didn't even bother to identify himself.
I ate soooo many peanuts last night
Everytime I stay in a serviced hotel I'm reminded why even if I was rich I'd never hire a cleaner: I fucking clean everything beforehand anyway.
I know dedicated cleaners come with more of an expectation of cleaning than housekeeping, but still. Everything off the floor and in its place, floors vacuumed, and bed roughly made before they arrive. I will gladly take their help with doing dishes though, I absolutely hate dishes...
heater won't switch on, went to bed with oodie on, it's nice and toasty
will look at damned big heater today and put a little space heater on
They always conk out when you need them most! As surely as fridges act out in summer.
Almost been an overwhelming day at work today, missed my break times due to working through them but did take other times to rest.
Workload was off the charts today and I mentioned it to my work wife who didn't quite believe me until we had to do it for real and hands on today.
Today was a Told you so day.
Had a dream that I was at this amazing party in the Tuscan countryside, big old estate with an amazing buffet and super interesting things to see and whatnot. Felt sad waking up to cold Melbourne.
A house in Tuscany costs a fraction of what a house costs in Melbourne.

I can't stop thinking about KFC (korean fried chicken) so I'm gonna have a go at making it on Friday to have with drinks.
Too much on at both jobs this week man, I wish I could cruise but no bueno. Tomorrow would've been ideal to wfh but I gotta go in for some training, so wasting 45 mins each way in traffic. I'm definitely leaving right on time tomorrow - left at 5:15 and the traffic was disgusting. Second job if I'm lucky I might be able to knock off early on Thursday in lieu of all the extra hours I've clocked up, but I'm going to need turbo caffienation.
