Melbourne

the tide was out very far today and the water was so clear and still I kept walking in puddles without seeing

The new work laptop has a Copilot button. The most offensive thing about it is the Copilot button has replaced the right Ctrl key. Remapping it with Powertoys hasn't worked. I actually use the right Ctrl key so the irony of this button promising a productivity assistant replacing an actually useful key that enhances productivity is not lost on me.

People who type on loud clacky keyboards in open place workspaces are psychopaths. The keyboard is not balanced on the desk as well, so it rocks when being smashed by its user, adding to the wall of sound.

I've switched from my ear buds to my over-ear headphones, let's see how we go blocking it out.

Aww… Melbcat has flopped into me to be the little spoon. My big soft teddy bear.

I so badly want to throw a sickie tomorrow but I'm not going to.

Am hour went past in what felt like seconds playing with the pedal.

Yeeeeeeha!

Goodnight all ❤️

I drew a crappy little non-video tutorial for the other artists based on one I’d watched, drawing each step in a different colour to help clarify.

It’s something. If they like it I drew a part 2 to follow.

Banning myself from more plants until a possum solution is contrived. RIP parsley, violas, and heritage lettuce.

yooo everyone knows Catch is going down, yes?

If you got kids or a small face, clean the fuck up right now on face masks.

Eastlink account has now been updated with the new vehicle. I had to phone them because the previous owner still had it on his account.

It does make me wonder what the legal situation is if you just keep driving on someone else's account. Would they be stuck with the charges because they have agreed to pay tolls on that vehicle, or would it be considered some sort of theft by deception because I know I'm not really authorised?

looking at pics of beautiful monkeys and apes that have lovely hair and fur, like colobus or capuchins or marmosets

and the thought occurs

we are one of those animals with beautiful hair🙂

Well, despite barely sleeping at all out of frustration and resentment and the heat, I seem to have woken up feeling alright and the day was rather pretty and fun for what it was, once i realised other deadlines were going to have to get tossed out beyond my control

Still got a lot of uni stuff to do before meeting tomorrow and I had banked on a short office day today to give me more time. Am now exhausted and about to see psych after which I rarely feel like doing and work but we'll see... maybe I'll reward myself with pizza tonight if I can get it all done.

also, the word shutter can go in the bin

CLOSE, you mean CLOSE

housework never bloody ends

Picked up the bike with the new Marathon tyres on it. I noticed the weight picking it up more than I expected, same with pushing off on a quick test ride. It's not so bad once you get going, though.

It also just feels off having tyres like this on a gravel bike, like putting regular road tyres on a rally car but more noticeable. In reality this bike spends most of its time on the road and these tyres are meant to keep the flats away so I can spend more time riding. The added weight will be good for strength training

Saw the movie Mickey 17. It was OK. Felt like with the premise it should have been better but seemed like something was missing. 3/5 popcorns.
