Got my first payslip after dropping to part time. Yes, it looks a little sadder, but given how bone tired I am right now I absolutely cannot wait to lie in bed and stare at the ceiling in complete silence tomorrow morning. Just need to watch the spending a little closer.

Dropping to part time was one of the best mental things I ever did. Yes it's a money ouch, but not as bad as I thought it might be.
The final results for my last unit are out, I did somehow manage to scrape through with a Distinction.
yay, congratulations ππ
The office dog is a cavoodle with a white patch on her chest. Her bone shaped tag makes it look like a bowtie over a dress shirt so she looks very fancy as she pathetically begs everyone for food
Being asked if I have plans on x day without telling me what theyβre planning. I donβt fall for that. I need all the details upfront!
IKR?
So great youβre free! You can help me express the dogβs anal glands!
Gonna keep it really vague. I am now a pseudo nurse to my beautiful husband who has a temporary piss bag strapped to his leg. It's definitely a new for us.
Oh my! Best wishes to husband, and some strength and patience vibes for you.
This isn't related to the shaver incident, is it?
Hahaha. Nah but we did laugh at the amount of people who got to see my handiwork.
I did wonder about your hospital comment last night... I hope you're both travelling well. Community nurse here, feel free to hit me up with any questions. Nothing is too gross or stupid.
Omg. Thank you. How the fuck do I wash the overnight bag or do I need to? It wasn't explained to me how but in the pamphlet it says to.
Empty it (obvs) and and flush it through with warm water from the white tip end out the open tap. You can use some gentle hand soap, nothing as harsh as dishwasher liquid. We usually tell people to do that in the shower. Rinse all the soap out. You can use 1:8 vinegar/water to flush out if you think its smelly. Put the cap back on the white tip, leave the end tap open and hang it somewhere to drip dry. Keep it up off the floor.
Ah. Thank you.
And keep it lower than his bladder.
Got it π
Oh that's not good.
Wish him all the best from us.
π
oh no
hope he gets better real soon
Thank you
so many hugs
Hope he's okay!
He's ok. He's a little shook but doing well. Thank you.
quick lunchtime sketch
bros are big mad about italy's femicide laws. It's sexism! Fascism!!! When will we consider the real victims here - men who murder women???
Can't wait for probation to be over so I can move closer.
In a less negative vibe, I made some marketing material fairly quickly today off the cuff and it seems to be a hit!
Edit: also tomorrow is Friday which is awesome.
The container deposit machine is not as hungry as I hoped it would be. I got rid of, like, ten and then it told me it was full.
Dangit
got bumped out of lemmy, π google password manager
super shallow post incoming
the flies and other flying bugs are bad here especially down at the beach, I've found using cologne scented shampoo has helped somewhat
would it be too much scent/icky to also use 4711 soap and maybe some extra eucalyptus in my laundry liquid? I don't want to go the deet route and since the bugs here are clean biters I don't have a need to
It's worth a shot.
Managed to stay down the beach an extra 2 days. Back in Melbs now.
A father w/ his 3 identical triplet daughters sitting opposite was interesting. Haven't seen that before. All dressed the same which would be confusing.
Niota is an interesting and inscrutable game that is full of Interesting Choices
Boo, todayβs hard
Eeep. Only how many more days to xmas? Not that I'm counting.
so many hugs
seems a few people today are having a rough time
many hugs to Melbs and to the CEO fam
I'm bored because I've done all the work I can without someone else giving direction.
2 and a half hours to go.
Squeezy yoghurt pouches have been acquired in my household and suddenly I'm eating way more yoghurt than I do than just from the tub. The tubs are better for the environment though
You can buy refillable squeezy pouches. Some of them are even dishwasher safe.
second load of dishes done , kitchen clean, floor cleaning can wait til later
aspirin taken to knock fever and aches down tho I think moving around more yesterday was good for my back
then more UnKOASing later, after that might even set up some art materials for practice π
I went to Bunnings for some more supplies for my lawnmower restoration (as it was a bit rustier than I realised) and had to divert on the way home due to a road closure. Which meant a nice little drive through the countryside. I even saw an alpaca, freshly shaved so looking very long in the neck.
Blah catching a train after a week of driving sucks ass
Fellow parents.... Have any of you gone down the BYOD laptop purchase path through LWT/JB Edu? Apart from it obviously being a brand new device, only advantage I can see is the ease of repairs on site. And seemingly coverage for accidental damage, but I can't find what is covered when referring to "accidental damage".... I can find the same specs from somewhere like reboot-it for a third of the price, but obviously no servicing....
We've decided to just go with what the school provides. It may be cheaper elsewhere but I do not have the time to stuff around looking!
I've been wondering about this for when the kids are old enough. I could get old laptops from work for like $150 each but then people may not be able to service them because they're non standard
