    I accidentally doubled up on my ADHD medicine and I feel like I’m going to pass out. That’s how I know I actually have ADHD. Too much stimulant medication makes me feel super sleepy. Meanwhile a mate of mine got one from his partner and took it at a festival and was absolutely shitfaced the whole day. Brains are weird.

    Considering banking on this cold being shaken off by tomorrow and booking a room up on the border. Saw that one of the clubs up there has a Boobs tribute act (Michael Bublé) and I’m right into that scene. They actually have a Crooners of the 50s, 60s and 70s Variety show tonight which I would have liked. Will give me another 6.5 hours or so of audiobook time in the car too.

    🤔

    First week in a higher role nearly over and I must say I’m enjoy it.

    Slightly more busy and dealing with new people (who are all super patient).

    Best part of it, is I actually have some influence over large decisions. So far my input has been welcomed and respected.

    Fingers crossed my old boss stays in his role and I can keep this one 😁

    I know I’m going to get called preachy and whiny or whatever but here goes:

    Please wear a mask. I get that the anti-maskers won and social pressures make you feel self conscious, and people absolutely do give weird looks when they see people wearing masks, but the current sickness going around is totally preventable.

    I have a chronic condition and even a mild illness can massively reduce my quality of life. I’m required to frequently go out and be in close proximity with people, and it’s at the point where most people I see have a cough. I just want to not be at risk.

    KN95 masks are a good balance between efficacy and price. Those blue surgical masks are easiest to find, but aren’t great. N95s can be too expensive.

    Please please please just consider wearing them when out.

    Besides all that it’ll make for an easier adjustment when Pandemic 2: Electric Birdflugaloo comes around.

      …you bitch about my mask, I’m a gonna show up with my fucking 3m 100PM respirator on. Bright pink and hardcore vader noises.

      Actually I’ma gonna get another one and art it up. We’re living in a cyberpunk dystopia anyway, may as well dress for the occasion.

      I find it easier to mask up when I leave the house and just keep it on, taking them on and on is also unhygienic

      Happy to oblige, you won’t get any arguments from me. I don’t give a damn about antimaskers or weird looks, but being a large solidly built middle-aged woman in steel caps can tend to put people off talking to me on public transport about their antimask bullshit. I’m the only one in my house with a job, and as a casual employee I can’t afford time off due to totally preventable illness. The colds/flus/whatever they are going around at the moment are dynamite. My MIL is 90 and frail, my partner has many health issues, and I don’t have time for people who think they’re clever passing their ignorant bigotry towards the immunocompromised. I’m sorry you and Melba have had to deal with mean spirited inconsiderate twits. It’s actually easier to be considerate anyway.

      I never stopped wearing a mask. I’m very possibly immunocompromised and don’t want long covid. During lockdowns I’d always get dickhead men trying to intimidate me for wearing a mask and pick a fight about it. 🙄 Big heroes harassing lone tiny disabled women.

      But I really wish it would become just normal and accepted to mask up like in Asia. It’s polite, it’s hygienic, doesn’t really cost much and you could be saving yourself or someone else a nasty flu. And frankly anyone who doesn’t do it in a pandemic is not being logical.

    I appreciate all the staff at officeworks because it means I don’t have to mess around with printers but jeez it makes a difference when you get someone who really knows what they’re doing…

    Sometimes when I pick up the guitar, something really personal comes out. It’s rarely recorded, it’s never on purpose.

    And no one hears it but me. And that makes it special.

    I know how wanky that sounds, but it’s true. I’m probably not explaining myself properly

      Art is art, public or private. It is a reflection of us as humans, to put something so personal out into the universe. So uniquely you.

      It isn’t wanky, not to me at least, for whatever that’s worth ha! It’s human. No one will ever read everything I write, all the words left private, unread, unseen. But I do it for me. You do it for you. We just gotta be humans about it all, I think.

      Idk maybe I’m just a dumb dumb lol

    i’m a wrangler, a schemer, a cobbler and a snagger of discarded things and unconsidered trifles. A repairer and a reuser. But most importantly, i also share the booty.

    In other news, weird day today. Pic applies.

    Just got a phone call from work. “Oh don’t retest if you don’t have any symptoms it can still show up for weeks.” ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

      the whole point of the RAT is to pick up if you are shedding significant amounts, as in “dangerous to others”. It’s based on viral load, not presence

      A +ve test is a symptom, no need to tell them the details of your symptoms. “Coughing up oysters” seems to gross people out.

      Someone said that to me once.

      The first time I caught covid, they made me come in to work. Guess what happened? Company was down to 3 people and entire families got infected including small children.

      Fucking wankers.

    TV Review. Dirk Gently’s Holistic Agency.

    I have tried to watch the first episode three times. I just can’t get through it, the Dirk guy is too irritating. He’s not quirky, he’s not fun, it’s too much.

    It might be a great series , I don’t know, it’s not for me. 3 hobbits for the rest of cast
