I really dislike employers who leave employees hanging. ๐คฌYou've done your work. They should pay. It's not your problem how they do it. And it's a moral issue too, people have families and bills. You do not know if children will go hungry pr without medical care. It's just unacceptable.
YASSSSSSSS
That's great to hear. I hope they fixed the system so it's always on time now
Make it rain
Woooo!!!
the beach today, I went right out over the sand flats to the water
Dinner is done.
I made pasta al limone, with fried salmon and a salad with lemon-yoghurt dressing. It was rather tasty. I've been trying to do more pasta sauces that are not tomato based, this definitely fits the bill.
Yummm
Hey I did linguini limone last night too! No protein though.
Yummmm also
Nice, very good presentation. My original plan was to flake the salmon through the pasta, but I decided a flake-as-you-go approach would be simpler.
Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams ๐
Contemplating veg and tofu stir fry with much noodle for dinner tonight, y/n?
Y
Ditch the tofu for snozzages.
Can confirm snozzages are delicious.
Got any recs?
The butcher in Northcote Plaza has 'volcano' sausages that are the absolute bomb! Loaded with chili and fennel seeds, each individual sausage is about golf ball sized. They are AMAZING!
That's what I had for lunch! Except there was no tofu, not many vegetables, and too much oil! So like the exact same thing basically
Chook has had a bath
Heโs looking very fresh and handsome
Hi Chook!
Hahahaha I am so tired I was posting in yesterdays thread wondering we're we all were.
Put a fork in me, I'm done.
One day left champ, chin up
I think yesterday's is still pinned so it's not just you
That was an especially poor dishwasher cycle.
Felines have forgiven us for visit to the PokeyPlace. Unfortunately TheVoid needs to return for a dental clean
Urgh
That's it pretty much.
Edit:
I'd like to add blergh
Client: Your team are dipshits
The team: this client is fucked in the head
Me: I just want to go home
Still haven't gotten my pay ๐ It's in the damn cloud somewhere. Had to transfer money out of my kids bank accounts to cover direct debits. I feel deeply ashamed.
Thereโs no shame, itโs keeping the water and lights on that they also use and youโll pay it back.
Iโm wondering if Mr P is contributing to the household expenses. Because now would be a great time
Edit: I found this for emergency help with essentials, fingers crossed your pay comes through soon but if not https://ndh.org.au/debt-solutions/emergency-assistance/
Thankyou!
There is no shame to be had. You are doing what you have to, and the money will be back in theirs as soon as it hits your account. Its nothing you've done and beyond your control.

Iโm annoyed I got rid of a cooling elevated mesh pet bed that was too high for Melbcat to comfortably step up onto. This furry lil dude could have used it.

Trying to work out how to rig some shade cloth or shade sails that wonโt cause damage with weight/a gust of wind and donโt count as a โfixtureโ. As a bonus it would shade the window.
I considered one of those big freestanding umbrellas but they are quite expensive, bulky and too heavy for me to move or assemble.
We got doggo a cooling mat. The most he's done is stick a paw on it. Maybe melbcat will like something like that?
Good idea. I want to get something for the outside cat as well though to stop him turning into a roast chicken
I have no idea where he goes during the 40 degree days
New guy in the costumer service team at work. I think I remember seeing him being interviewed. I wonder if he'll last longer than the other woman that just left one morning. He's young so I think he'll take to it pretty well.
He's also really tall, like really tall. I wonder if I should tell him that? I wonder if anyone's pointed it out to him before?

Yay, managed to swap my shitty late shifts for both today and tomorrow ๐reasonable working hours ftw
Argh. Maybe trapping this cat is a bad idea. Iโll try to get a good picture and put it on the lost pet sites or something. (Donโt use FB anymore.)
Edit: I confirmed with someone who worked in cat rescue, he would likely be euthanised at a shelter as soon as he hissed. So I guess if he doesnโt have an owner to save him Iโll just have to provide food and whatever coolth I can engineer without being able to let him inside. Try and soften him up and hopefully find some sort of solution at some point.
