Melbourne

Just had my interview and I think I smashed it! Should find out early next week

Behold mouse trap w/ swivelling bottle with peanut butter on swivelling dowel over a bucket of water with ramp v.2.0.1

Improvements over v1.0

• more peanut butter

• Soap applied to inner walls

• Longer ramp with peanut butter.

Worked in Melbs but was after a rat not the mouse that got in.

1 more day and I'll have been off suboxone for a year.

I'll save my thoughts till tomorrow.

Edit:

I've looked at the stats. Upto 90% of people who stop taking it relapse within 4 weeks and are at increased risk of death.

12% of people remained sober at the 9 month mark.

Fucking sobering.

Dipping in and out of work mailbox on phone to clear out monitoring notifications. Fucking employer has sent me more goddamn emails in my two days of holidays than he has the rest of the year combined.

Cunt is pathological and they are not getting actioned. Get a fucking hobby.

Been smoking way less, but still smoking. Funny, buying a pouch from Woolies is ~$100, buying a 20pk of Marlboro reds from my local tobacconist is $18. And if I was less lazy, the one across the road sells them for $15.

Even more reason to quit: Marlboro is made in the USA, so I guess I'm funding not only local crime gangs, but also the USAs desire to bomb all the countries 😬😅

Two things.

First, Carrot Man has a new carrot, or at least a freshly painted one. Looks very nice.

Second, I just saw a young bloke on an electric scooter with a small fridge on the platform. Not secured with anything resembling an occy strap. Scooting down the hilly bit of Bridge Road. Which is due for resurfacing next weekend. Courage takes many forms.

My pumpkin vine has put out a bunch of new female flowers, it must feel like it's in with a chance for more fruit than the 10 currently ripening. The squash and zucchini are also making a late fruiting run.

The snow peas on the collapsed trellis had some dried peas so I've planted those on the remaining trellis and will hopefully get some new plants growing, and also harvested some fresh snow peas from one plant which decided it's just going to keep growing on the ground. The climbing bean is also being pretty productive at the moment, so even though I didn't get everything growing in the garden I would have liked it has been a fairly successful year.

I think I'll get some cheese cake in advance of tomorrows excitement.

Been reading a kids book of Aesop's Fables to the kids and I'm struggling to take it seriously.

The reading level its written for and the laboured metaphors of talking animals just remind me of long LinkedIn posts or really bad boomer memes.I keep telling the kids we're going to read some stories to help us excel at B2B sales

I wonder what all the ticket inspectors are doing this month.

Ozbargain needs to stop. It's giving me scotch deals again

Trying to catch a mouse in the house.

It's smarter than me :(

One of the Customer Service women has brought their daughter into work today. Last time she was in I tried plugging her switch into one of the computer docks to play on one of the monitors. It didn't work, I don't know if it's Nintendo or Dell's fault but that's bullshit

Last night, I went to the movies with the boyfriend (The Drama gets 2/5 hobbits), and we were walking back to my car. I accidentally went down the wrong street and the most gorgeous orange kitty came up to us and started purring and rubbing itself on us. I wanted to take it home. Do cats typically not have collars? This one didn't have one. It looked like an adult.

No cat tax because we were enjoying the moment. I love my dog but I think thanks to you guys and this cat we saw, I am starting to want a cat.
