I Karen'd the council yesterday and they stopped the roadworks overnight.
Honestly, even 1 night was worth it.

Specialist apt moved from November to this Thursday. Bloody awesome!
Back to melbs today. Green bin full. Here's the overflow for next week's bin.. about 1/3 way there. up to 7 consecutive green bins so far, better than last year thanks to mulch:
Gutters done โ๏ธ
Floors / surfaces done โ๏ธ
Next week moar weeding and start windows (uggh, looking at you louvres) 'holiday house' my arse.
Hoping to get weeding / more mulch moving done by mid Sep. before the nope ropes emerge.
as owners of backyard chickens, those look tempting (on behalf of the chickens) hahahahaha :-).
well done!
Business brags about 24/7 support... with emails that get ignored, a phone number that goes nowhere and a "live" chat that isn't responding. Time for social media passive aggressiveness.
Time to see if they paid for the social listening feature in their social media management tool

Tram driver shut the door right in my face. I even put my arm in the door to try stop it but it kept closing. I was in the same group of people who were waiting for the tram not late or anything, just the last person to get on. I just turned to face the front just with my arms out like wtf bro. Oh well, extra 10 minute walk that is good for me
That's a bit shit. Are you OK?
I'm fine, rather annoying though! I feel better for the walk honestly
Your complaint has been received. We shall process it promptly.
the sun is warm ๐
The sun is warm, the sky is blue
A bright light betwixt winter hues
On day like today I will refuse
To engage with any worldly news
Instead I'll wander the streets and lanes
Gazing through shop's window panes
Dreaming of winning the lottery game
And being secure without the fame
Made some pork stock flavoured with kaffir lime on Sunday night. Tonight that stock is simmering with white beans, carrots and tomatoes and some bacon chunks. Later, much later tonight, will have nice baked beans.
Temptress..
My stock in trade (pun intended).
My $27 order from IKEA cost $32 to ship to mum -- they're taking a quite hit to their 1.4bn profit on this one.
Supposed to warm up all week. ๐ I might do a little gardening.
I've had thoughts about ways to grow the business. I feel like one issue is I have an empty Instagram account. I didn't see the point in making all this content about marketing because it won't be seen by anyone.
Instead, I go out and shoot the sorts of videos I'd make for clients, publish them on my Instagram account, and tag them as a collaborator. It's a free sample for them, lets me grow my profile using their audience, and populates my page with more tangible examples of my offer.
I could also shoot a pinned post saying like "Did you get tagged in a video and now you're checking out my profile? Here's how I can help you."
Any thoughts on this? I think it's a pretty solid idea
I agree it's a solid idea. Social media presence as you already know is the lifeblood of marketing.
I think you'll see good return for your time investment.
One guy saw me filming my first video and asked for my details for himself. Kind of funny to get a hit before I even did anything. Still need to see if anyone converts though
just listening to some kitaro

Thank you. I have some of those in my cupboard. Been there about 2 years I reckon. I wonder if they're still "good".
