    Okay so I think it was someone in here who recommended Potato Utopia chips and I’ve diligently waited and they’re almost at half price this week… time to try it out tomorrow night I reckon.

    Study day, discovered I’ve filled most of my assessments as we’ve been going. I’d forgotten I’d done that. So my homework is already done. Just watching some YT vids of vets showing safe practices to handle various animals, and animal behaviour.

    Every day I am grateful to be doing this for myself.

      I’m grateful for the time I get to spend with my kids. I look them to the park on Monday and took turns taking them down the slide. They had such fun saying ‘Bye bye’ to each other before going down. It feels like I’m in the good old days right now and I’m lucky enough to know it

        Mine are older now, and they love watching the cute videos of them doing stuff like this when they were little.

        It’s funny though: They’re way too cool to make videos of their play, now. I try and tell them “think of how much fun it’ll be in a few years to look back on the today”, but nope.

      Grateful my melatonin arrived safe and sound. I put off ordering more until I was almost out of the last one, and then when I did order them, I got a notification that “shipping will be delayed” because apparently they missed the plane or something. It only arrived the day after they estimated it would, so it wasn’t that bad

    Bit of an odd one tonight for dinner. Zucchini slice and banana bread with custard.

    It does feel good to use up dodgy fruit and veg though.

      I could be doing homemade garlic bread with a side of orange for dessert.

      Look on the bright side too. I did eat chocolate cake for breakfast the other day.

    Another day another data compromise. This time it’s the Shebah ride share. At this point any business using name address and dob to verify a person is not good enough security.

    I use random passwords for everything so I’m not worried about the password getting out.

      better than that monster who was playing music off a Bluetooth speaker the other week. Hopefully it means HR have taken them up to the 25th floor and pulled a Russia on them.

          Maybe you need to adopt the role of angry office teacher

          "UM, YEAR 9 44, MY GRADE 5’S ACT BETTER THAN YOU. NOW USE YOUR INDOOR VOICES OR YOU WILL ALL BE STAYING INSIDE AT LUNCH!

          Sidenotes:

          1. It’s always the bloody year 9s
          2. 44 wasn’t a random number, apparently 44 is the median age of an APS worker. They were the most office based field I could find stats on

      I’d like that compared to everyone wearing headphones and being in random teams meetings all day. Can’t concentrate. Have to wear headphones and play music louder than I’d like.

      Each to their own I guess, I much prefer a quiet office.

      We have a visitor here once every week or so who is one of those people that seems to think silence is a bad thing to be avoided, so it’s -endless- chatter, it’s a nightmare when I’m trying to concentrate.

      The odd bit of conversation is fine, but he seems to be deeply offended by silence and it drives us nuts!

    Anyone here been to Basement Comedy Club? I’ve got tickets for there tomorrow night, but do they pack people in like sardines?

    I think I accept that I’m too worried to go - I’m flying to NZ on Sunday and am doing loads of limit my chances of becoming sick before this holiday. So… does anyone want 2 x tickets to Andrew Hamilton (from YeahMad) tomorrow night?

    I really like the way all the climbers from different countries stand at the bottom of the lead wall talking to each other and swapping notes on how to tackle it.

      It’s so nice. The skateboarders were similar yesterday, you can tell they’re all friends and they just really love the sport.

      I’m slightly concerned that these climbers might be part-spider though. Crazy skills.

    Hooray survived the 8 day outta date cheese kransky from last night. Flying a bit close to the sun. It did burn the roof of my mouth though but it was delicious so only a small price to pay.

      Lucky duck… I throw everything out once it goes past it’s use by (non refiregrated best befores usually stay until I realise it’s just been sitting there for ages and I’m not going to use it). I’m traumatised from all the food poisonings I seem to suffer a couple of times a year

      I’m so traumatised in fact, that I quite often burn things out of fear they might not be properly cooked. Then I eat at a dodgy place in Footscray market and get food poisoning the next day ☹️
