In a bit of exciting news I'm becoming a pub trivia host. It will be a bit of consistent side money and whilst not ideal because I have to go to a place and do a thing, it's close to home and I've been looking for side work for a while and gotten nothing, so this is a nice change.

[โ€“] tone212_@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

That's awesome, I love pub trivia.

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow that sounds like a really interesting side gig!

Another day in the office by myself. We're having billing issues with one of the big social media companies so I'm using the time to work on backburner things I've wanted to do

There's a woman at work who really likes the colour pink. I noticed one time I was helping her with something and saw she had a pink travel cup, pink sunglasses, and even changed the theme of her browser to be pink.

It's something I keep noticing about her now like a recurring bit about a side character on a TV show. I hope other people have noticed as well because it would be a nice thing to include on the cake for her birthday month or anything else work does for her

Good morning. Bit chilly outside today.

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Been playing Stray, it's such an interesting game. Went in knowing nothing about it except you're a cat who gets lost, but it's been fun and unsettling and the puzzles are good. It's different from the usual games I play which are investigate every single corner, collect, grind, etc.

I have a modded switch!

Fuck yes.

Sitting around waiting for a deposit to land sucks ass.

That's pretty much it lol

Edit: 2 more mins. I'm right near the store so I can Karen it the fuck up if need be.

Edit: all is well.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What does this mean? Are you hanging for a shit?

[โ€“] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I sold my phone yesterday and they reckoned the deposit took 24 hours.

I think we're going to have to have a word with YB's supervisor - maybe put YB on a first warning. Has anyone got a copy of the KPIs for the role?

I am the corrosion on the anode.

I am an electron of the anode when there is no current

Overworked to functioning, depending on the minute.

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Varies with the time of day. Hovers over Functioning but goes up and down.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

functioning, kinda

I get down too easily when I have back pain

what isn't on the chart is getting the stuff done that needs to get done ( I suppose that come under coping )

and I would say I am improving

[โ€“] tone212_@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Physical - overworked (this is as I have a back muscle strain from last week that just won't get better and is painful, hoping to be back at focused level soon)

Emotional - somewhere between functioning and overworked, will be better emotionally once I'm physically better. Funny how the two are very linked.

Some days I'm blue. Some days I'm green.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Hi chef. Bit late today, but could I please have a salmon & veggie bowl too - with a latte not a cappucino.

Been a good day, got stuff done. :)

Good night everyone, sweet dreams ๐Ÿ˜™

Oops, I bought a device at an outlet place thinking it was a 2-in-1 (360 hinge). Imagine my surprise now that it has arrived. Still a good deal, but not quite the deal I thought.

FYI you can't delete / deactivate mobile Mykis when they go negative as many times as you want anymore. Only five cards per device.

When going on a holiday, would you want to go somewhere warm or cold, and why?

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

I prefer warmth. But if it was an adventurous holiday, I don't have a preference, as long as the weather is calm.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

as long as I'm comfortable and dressed appropriately I don't mind

I echo Spin, calm weather is important, no storms

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It's not really a major factor in picking a location for me. I generally like learning about the culture and history of a place, the climate is only a factor in regards to it's influence on those. The weather becomes a factor, but only in terms of picking the best time of year to avoid things like storms and heatwaves if possible.
