Miniest testing negative for covid 💪🏼 my test still very faintly positive. Mr P’s test still strongly positive and he is spewin’ about it. The first to get it and spread it to us is still positive, he really thought he’d be in the clear by now. But he’s the oldest and a smoker, which I think must be a factor in his slow recovery? Ran out of tests so will have to test Elder when the ones I ordered arrive this arvo.
There was some silly article years ago about how being a smoker (tobacco or weed) could help against covid.
I called bullshit and I’m pretty sure it’s been disproven too lol. Guarantee you his smoking is prolly why it’s harder for him to get over it (as a flip-flopping quitter)
Given Mr Peeler kept walking through the living room for a ciggie, in this case it sounds like it wasn’t the smoker who got sicker — it was everyone else!
Anyways, fantastic news that you’re all starting to recover 😊
I have a sore throat and a headache. Fun times. Plus side I guess is that I don’t have anything on till this Arvo, so I can do a sleep in. But I got absorbed into a the YouTube “documentary” about YouTube drama. Oddly fascinating. Like watching a train wreck
hugs
YouTube drama can be weirdly fascinating at times. There’s a 4 hour video on Nickacado Avocado and it’s all so low stakes but incredibly important to the people going through it at the time
On the train last night some guy kept sneezing next to me without covering his mouth and now I’m sick.
I went to the office and let my manager know and she said to go home. Which was really nice.
Teams meetings all day tomorrow anyway, just didn’t want to be away from work. The difference between sectors is dramatic.
Fkn ferals! Crawling all over the trains and trams, coughing and snuffling, wiping their faces with their hands and smearing it everywhere like angry monkeys throwing their shit.
Why don’t the Geneva Conventions on Biological Warfare extend to the common disease-ridden citizen?
Don’t even get me started on buses.
I got up and walked away from someone on the ferry who kept coughing wetly. I can only hope she was recovering from something, but I was not taking the risk.
I’m still piiiiiiiiised about when my expensive trip to Mildura was ruined by some lady who was coughing all weekend. I think I ended up with a combination of food poisoning and the cold while stranded hundreds of KMs from home in almost the middle of nowhere.
sick
Throwing up into a rubbish bag on a bus is not good. Fucking horrendous experience.
I still see far too much of this in public, and it makes me mad, especially as someone who hasn’t been able to work for the past week from covid. Some people either learnt nothing from the last few years or simply don’t give a damn and it shows.
So tired today so I took the day off. Allergies I think, my terrace is covered in pollen dust and my nose tickles as soon as I go out there.
I struggled to get home this afternoon. I kept wanting to fall asleep as I was driving home.
Made it home through had a wash then flopped on my bed and fell asleep until now.
I think my blanket last night was too warm for me so I’m going to change it out for a few days as it’s been warmer.
Anyway making some garlic bread now.
Hungry!
I’ve reheated some frozen pasta with sauce
That sounds really yummy.
Hullo from Auckland!! Spent the day trying surprisingly mediocre wine with a group of fun people from right across the globe! I am surprisingly exhausted!
I think my parcel may have skipped a few steps here. Or did it actually teleport from Philips post office to Bayswater?
Is the general experience today feeling tired?
I hope it’s only because I had a bad sleep.
Hope I haven’t caught covid or something.
I slept in until the middle of the day and I still feel a little underbaked
Your prescription is to go out and enjoy some sun tomorrow.
Nah
:"(
No ".
Only (-:
😀😀😀😀😀😀
More like bleeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh/bored.
But I am also tired.
antigratitude: i have a cold
gratitude: telehealth is freeeeee and i get a med cert so i get paid for being sickRejected for a job because I was basically too good (?), but they’ve invited me to apply for a more senior role coming up next month. Not really sure what to do with this information.
It’s great they offered to put you forward for another position. I’ve had that excuse and no one knows what to do, like ‘so you don’t want to employ competent people?’
at which point they’ll tell you that you don’t have enough experience for the senior role. Why? Cause they’re fuckers.
Least thats my experience.
The more senior role is very similar to my last job, but yep, every chance there’ll be another amazing candidate so I’m certainly not holding my breath.
I care so little for US politics and I am already tired of hearing about that train wreck, despite actively avoiding it. I can’t escape it I figured it must be close to the election so I googled it.
We got another 3 months of this.
I wish Americans would stop this whole superiority complex thing they have, and acting like everybody needs to know about it
Chief. Your country is falling apart, basically a 3rd world country with rich white people, and you literally had Trump as president. Nobody else gives a fuck about who wins your shitty little race race. Your country is beyond repair either way. Also, US politics aren’t the default politics, and the US isn’t the default country 🤷♂️
I was absolutely here prior to “the change” and now I’m all here for it. It went from “good guys gonna get smashed” to “Holy shit good guys are gonna win and bad guys gonna get their asses kicked”. Love a come from behind story.
I loved the Olympics even more because of this. 2 weeks of barely hearing about it was bliss.
I… Did not realise they got Eli Roth to direct the Borderlands film… And they made it… PG13???
I’m sorry, the guy who directed, produced, and wrote: Cabin Fever, Hostel I and II, and The Green Inferno, did a PG13 adaption of motherfucking BORDERLANDS‽
IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN R18 SPLATTER FILM GODFUCKINGDAMMIT
I want to get off this timeline
well that’s proof positive this isn’t the worst timeline. In the worst timeline it’s Uwe Boll
Oh god, oh dear god I never thought of that…
Is this really the better timeline 😭
better, no. But it may be the objectively funniest
I’m so disappointed in the casting of that thing. And the pg13 is just stupid.
Loved borderlands 1 and 2, and this is what we get. An animation would have been heaps better.
I’ve not heard good things about the movie. Also I think it did really badly at the box office.
Apparently it was filmed a few years back and then reshot. A stunt actor recently said it had a lot of head popping, etc. so it was probably R and went to PG.
tldr: studio interference (as usual)
Yeah the timelines getting strange hey. First the trump thing, then Biden drops out, Australia comes 4th at the Olympics, Dutton backing “green” energy, High Jackman puts the claws back on… We keep swining between the good timeline and the darkest.
Maybe it was and the studio execs took all the good bits out to cater to a “wider audience”?
It’s nice to be able to dry stuff on the clothesline.
It so is, I’ve been putting a load out when my MIL isn’t in the backroom of her place (which is where the back door is). Unfortunately she usually sits there so it limits me to before she gets up or when she has her afternoon nap.
s2g if they wanted to fix the state deficit, put fucking ticket cops on chesterville road. The number of defects and speeding fines would buy us a whole new rail system.
I did a 5 year stint in st Albans, and it was always funny seeing how many people would run the red light, or speed, along Taylor’s Rd, particularly at the Arthur Street intersection. Never really saw cops around much either. I liked to tell people who’d never been to st Albans before that it was because the last time cops tried to park up and fine people, the kids in the area through rocks at their windows, and then we all teamed up and tipped their cop car over. I think the more depressing reality is that there were probably only 5 cops at Keilor Downs police station, and most of them were preoccupied with domestic violence calls, and the resulting paperwork. Ironically Taylor’s Rd is the nicer end of town, too
To balance last weeks good luck getting third in line at the food market, today I got third last. I ended up with three parsnips so will have to do lots of roast vegie dishes. Also a leek and some potatoes, which would be much better news if it was still soup weather.
