Today I am cutting back on coffee by half, no coffee after noon either.

Along with no back meds for 8 days now.

Bought some jeans, black jeans, a plain black shirt, a nice linen shirt, socks, and a nice short sleeve dress for work. Thank you workforce!

My GF and I wearing 90% black was a factor in our getting together.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago

It's a perfectly good fashion choice.

Trying to decide what to do for my birthday next month to give myself something to look forward to. Thinking city hotel stay and going to see Anastasia. Another part of me is just saying stay home and ignore the world.

[โ€“] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 8 points 2 days ago

Do something nice for yourself. What that is is up to you

City stay sounds nice. Mine's in just over a week and no idea what I'm doing except taking the day off work. Maybe go to the AO, maybe stay at home and sulk, not sure yet.

I slept a solid 13 hours and am now groggy and slightly confused about what day it is. It doesn't help that the area is completely blanketed in smoke and there are not really any cues about what time of day it is.

[โ€“] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It is Monday, my dude ๐Ÿธ

I login to work this morning and there are 29 leads from over the weekend for a product solution that costs a couple of grand. I think i should be allowed to have the rest of the week off

Too real. Itโ€™s worse when they edit: pretend to park in front of their house and defend it aggressively like that but also bogart the other parking space to deliberately deny your use

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago
