Melbourne

Lost my earbuds somewhere and missed my train while retracing my steps. Stuff it. I am having a beer while I wait for the next.

I lost my birth certificate AND my passport so I had to jump on Vic Birth Death Marriages website and jump through hoops (on my own end) to order a new birth certificate. My god what a horrible, unintuitive website. I have no idea if I've done it correctly or if it is being processed now or not.

Every time I make a fruit fly trap it doesn't work. I might be over thinking things but I'd really lokr to catch some with my own traps

I have thus far (after coming home from work):

• Eaten 2 chicken sausages, like heathen, straight outta the fridge (also a slice of banana bread).
• Removed the floating shelf bracket, screws and plugs (one has a hole big enough for a journey to the centre of the earth, but at least I now have a sample big enough to get colour-matched).
• Had a rinse.
• Killed some bugs (sorry, there was just no other way).

Now need to go to Bunnings, maybe Ikea for some spares.

In the meantime drooling over seeing a black Daytona 675 in the flesh ride by me today… I legit was in lust, heart beating fast and all that jazz. Lucky I stayed in my lane from all the perving I was trying not to do. 😂

OTOH, I could just go for a ride… (but the dwelling now resembles something out of hoarders.)

Ok guys, girlies and others since we are in a music kinda mood help me make a playlist for tomorrow. You know what I like. TIA. I might have nap. Go.

I'll call it the DT contribution wrapped

Continuing my seemingly endless find out after the fact run, apparently Billy Corgan is playing at the Gem tonight....the fucking Gem....

Opinions please - dodgy, or reading too much into it?

I ordered a new router (a couple hundred bucks) off Amazon. Because of the value, I need to provide a pin code on delivery (pretty sure it is so I can't argue I never received it). They say you can only use a pin code, but I know from past experience that delivery drivers have a button to deliver with the phone number on file instead of the pin code. I guess in case somebody doesn't have their pin code

The drivers have a button to call the number on file via amazons number in Sydney, but they don't see your number, just name. I got 5 calls (missed the first 4 from the driver, watering the garden and left my phone inside) and when I answered he asked for my phone number. I was worried about giving it over the phone, because I'm fairly sure if I did, he could mark it delivered to himself then Amazon would tell me I'm SoL. When I refused, he got a bit snarky and said "ok you don't want package then that your choice", even though I said I'd be home, then he hung up

Seems dodgy, right? I don't know how their systems work, but I'm pretty sure they don't even get the button to call you until they scan the barcode on your box, which I don't think they'd do until delivery time. So I'm kinda wondering if maybe he tried to deliver it to himself and called me to get my number so he could. But I also know they are basically glorified uber eats drivers and get paid per parcel, so perhaps the less cynical assumption is he wanted my number so he could deliver it as soon as it arrives and doesn't need to wait the 3 seconds for me to answer the door, which probably does negatively impact averages. Idk. Just feels sus

I decided to get my mulch delivered instead of making multiple Bunnings trips myself. The weather's not looking great for gardening over the next few days but hopefully I can get the bulk of the planting done.

I also need to squeeze in time to do my uni assignment, I'll schedule that in during thunderstorms and any periods over 30 degrees.

Urgh. My online friends are doing drama again. There are instigators who genuinely are being cunts but everyone else keeps reacting and feeding into it which keeps the cycle going.

I’m just gonna be over here trying to live.

I bought some cheap kids pencils for a few dollars because I want some I wouldn’t be bothered by losing or using up, and am swatching them to see how they stack up against the crap $15 ones.

Trying to stay up to try and fix my sleep schedule but I don’t think it’s going to work. At least it might push the window to having a little more daytime wakefulness

Not only do I have to go out this morning but I have to go to the post office. Make this a quick death please.
