So I have a choice to make about this friday that I need to make today to ask for leave.

Friday's are usually a light work day 9 out 10 times.

Should I take it off this week or stick it out and just spend the day at work?

I reckon you need the day off.

Does anyone use something other than Spotify? Looking for a new steaming app.

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

Yes sir! Qobuz. Its all CD quality or better, and it more like a magazine with articles, rather than a brute-force algorithmic sleuce.

I've heard Pandora is good, but I haven't tried it myself.

I like Radio Garden as well - sometimes I tune into radio stations in Germany, to get my language fix/make sure I can still understand lol. Can tune into radio stations from across the globe

My mum and I were going to get something from the local chicken shop for dinner, but then I saw I had a $20 off Uber Eats for first time use. So we got a whole charcoal chicken for $5. A steal.

And it arrived warm and unmolested?

I just went outside and someone was smoking a big fat smelly joint.

I miss it; made me realise why my sleep is fucked up - I haven't had medical in months now. Always tired and unrested.

I hate how expensive it is. Fuck I need a job so I can sleep again.

I have mowed the "lawn" and even got fancy and trimmed the edges. Now my arms are all shaky.

Again with the conking out and waking for meds time then napping some more 🥱

This fatigue is killing me. Needing lifts to do anything.

I managed to get some ink to print forms and some gesso but no palette in stock. Hoping for enough energy to get some more things today.

New earbuds are great!

Still suss that they're Bluetooth, but seems fine so far, plus I can charge my phone AND listen to music at the same time
