boss yeah I’m gonna send ya a couple servers to configure. me: aight.
boss: I need them done by tomorrow
me: doable, but you’re building an 8tb stripe, that alone is gonna take about five hours jsyk.
boss: also I have just realised you go on leave next week so I want everything possible done right now. Even things that can wait. Even things that aren’t anywhere near being implemented.
boss: I am going to send you every email under the conceivable fucking sun and demand you answer them instead of building my servers.
boss: I’m also gonna let a client scream at you about something I did
boss: and I’m gonna ask you if you’ve done something that I explicitly said I’d do three weeks ago
boss: and then I’m gonna send you another couple servers.
boss: I want these ready to ship to client tomorrow.also I have just realised you go on leave next week
So he’s going on leave next week too.
Time for a new boss
the joy of working for a small business, I rang him up and as soon as he answered the first words out of my mouth were “Are you fucking high”
Today at the beach I saw cone shell egg jellies.
As much as I’m grossed out by jellyfish, those ones are kinda cute
Did you have a sibling nearby to piff them at?
no
Got the phone back! I tried it this morning and it was on the move through Heidelberg. I thought it’s obviously still on the bus! I tracked it through the suburbs until it was near my place and went out to the bus stop, caught that bus and found it wedged down between the seat and the wall! It was so exciting! Hey, I’m a middle aged mum, it’s the most exciting thing I’ve done all year! The bus driver was kind enough to wait at the stop for me to search for it as well. Wonder how often they clean the buses tho…
Oh man, that’s a feel of excitedrelief that you can ride all week
There is no better detective than Mum on a mission! Well done!!!

Fuck yeah!! That’s awesome of you and for you! Huzzah!
You could ride the feeling of that win for weeks!!! Well done!
That’s just impressive. It’s great when things like this happen and everything works out

Thanks chef! Much stronger now.

Ooof i gotta get my fat arse up and moving but the knees, they feel ze cold
I’ve been thinking about the concept of ‘Coworker music’ ever since I watched a video on it. The idea is generic or bad music that coworkers listen to, never yourself of course.
I’ll have music on at work and ask myself, ‘Could this be considered coworker music?’ I have a specific taste in music so I don’t think it falls into generic coworker music, but when you get into subcategories of ‘a type of guy’ my music definitely falls into a ‘type of coworker’ subgenre.
What music is considered coworker music lol? Like, isn’t all music coworker music?
I think that’s the point. It’s music you’d never listen to, but others would.
I’m an other person, my taste counts
Everyone’s taste in music counts. Too personal no to. I will judge (silently) certain musical choices, but would never criticize or poke fun.
Ah okay so Taylor Swift 😂😂😂
In the video I watched it was the most over produced mainstream pop like Harry Styles. Or they’ll say something like, ‘I was in a dark place and this song saved me. It’s such a powerful song’ and it’s Imagine Dragons.
Ah okay that makes sense, like generic pop, popular with the majority music.
I have no clue what my music says about me, I tend to jump between Käärijä (finish rap/pop), Blind Guardian, and Paul Simon 😂
Sounds like you have too distinct a taste to be a coworker, but I’d like to check out Käärijä and see what I think. I need to listen to how well Finns pull off rap for myself.
I feel like coworker music is either the most generic music ever, or they listen to something incredibly niche but it sounds terrible.
Taylor fucking swift lol
The reason she’s so big is because your coworkers need to listen to something
is co-worker music like that music they play in stores or even like radio stations?
i would rather listen to the taste of one person than something that is meant to be inoffensive
I think it’s that sort of music, but someone who genuinely listens to and enjoys that sort of stuff
Co-worker music has a lot of layers to it.
Generally I would imagine Triple M and Fox/Nova music would fall into the category. Having worked with younger people that listen to Triple J (like I used to in my 20’s and early 30s), pretty much all the current stuff played there would fall into the same category for me.
Personally I welcome a new way to judge people 😁
Where I work it’s the R&B Fridays radio station. Added bonus of doing my head in listening to something that calls itself R&B Fridays on every other day of the week 🤪
With flexible work, every day is potentially someone’s Friday!!!
That would do my head in 100%. I like my own music, and thankfully can listen as I please without subjecting others to it.
This is a new concept to me. I think I get it, but technically my office plays 90% ABC Classic so I feel a bit exempt from this phenomenon. I do feel it when I’ve got in the work car after one of my colleagues has used it and set the dial to triple M tho.
Cheers for the advice on the second hand backpack. Got a bellroy classic in near new nick for 85 bucks, normally 220. No shame in jumping in at that price point.
With the RRP of those Bellorys they should be good. Look after it and it should last a long time
Second hand, the carbon cost has already been paid by the original purchaser.
Back at work after having most of last week off due to family. Spent my time getting ready considering what I could cut back on/do differently in order to reduce life costs if I just happened to trip and quit, issa a vibe!
My daughter helped a relo out with his banking because he freaked out a bit. She says to me “Mum, he doesn’t know how banking works but he knows how to get on Tinder”. I couldn’t stop laughing. 😂
I was chatting to someone the other day and they go “i’m no good with computers!” and I was like “huh. looks like you got an iphone there champ” and they go “oh yeah I can use an iphone just fine”. Ok so its not that your no good with computers its that you dont want to be.
The thing with computers is if you don’t use them all the time then you forgot how to do shit.
I can show you how to do a crochet stitch and a week later ask you to do it again and you’d probably fail. Repetition is what’s needed to remember stuff.
Also, you get used to things then they change it all in the upgrades. Boo!
Yes and then there’s a little second of panic.
Eh, there are levels. Once upon an Mac+ i’d play with ResEdit. Not touching whatever the equivalent is now, too big a jump.
well, banking is made to be difficult so you don’t lose your money
merchant banking is made to be as easy possible so you will spend your money
doesn’t know how banking works but he knows how to get on Tinder

Very nsfw language, likely triggering for anyone uncomfortable with meth’d up sexual frustration.Someone needs to put music behind this
There’s a remix, it’s not to my tastes, co-worker music - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygO5_KJHwM4
Omg hahahahahaha 😂 I’m crying
It would be triggering, but I find the shit meth heads spew to be hilarious! It’s just so wild and unhinged 😂
A random cat is in my back yard and the local birds are all panicking. Rather unusual coat pattern.
The first time a friend said she had a “two faced” cat freaked me out.
Give the kitty a pat!
(bring savlon)
What a stunner!
A few more boxes have been packed and a shelving unit disassembled. There is a lot of gunk underneath it. I am going to learn from this and make sure the bottom shelf is high enough that I can clean under it. Right on the floor might have been fine for a solid shelf, but for a shelf with gaps for things to fall through it was not a good plan.
There’s gunk under everything. Beds, fridge and washing machine are the main culprits.
Source of much reading pleasure over the years. Will be much missed.
There was much singing and demolishing bottles of bubbly stuff. Wizard is in adequate cope.
Very sad. RIP.
One of my new favorite cooking techniques is to brown the chicken thigh first before slow cooking (as discovered doing the apricot chicken a few weeks back). Trying it with Japanese curry tonight. Recipe I read said 6 hours on low, but you wouldn’t do the apple/potato/carrot that long would you? I was thinking 3-4 hours max.
Monday night Japanese curry gang checking in!!!
Never really done it in the slow cooker BUT, potato and carrot should be fine in the SW. Apples will probably lose their texture though.
neither, first time. but given how good the apricot chicken came out I was tempted to give it a go.
I’ve been making japanese curry in a regular stove top pot. I just fry the meat separately to get a nice brown sear and throw it in with the veggies and some seasoning. Once the potatoes cook through, i chuck in the curry blocks.
Hasn’t disappointed yet :)
Granny Smith yes. Pink Lady, Gala, Yellow Delicious - no. Best to leave peel on though.
Yeah I’m doing granny smith. Might just give it 4 hours instead of the 6.
I’ve thrown a veg/lentil curry in the slow cooker in the morning on low, gone to work, and come home 8 or 9 hours later and it’s fine. Veg doesn’t need that long but it doesn’t seem to do much harm.
just trying to avoid soggy veg.
I only ever use high on my slow cooker then I’ll turn it down to low if I need to. I’d put them all in together. If your worried about the chicken drying out, dont worry it won’t. Potato can take forever to cook particularly if you choose to cook it on low.
Low - approx 94°c
High - approx 149°c
I didnt factor in how cold the carrot and potato would be in reducing the temp so I’ve cranked it to high just before i put the veg in. I might just leave it on high and see how we go.
Decided to clean out the bottom shelf of the pantry - we rarely use it.
Guess where the little flies were coming from 😭💀 never leaving tea in there ever, EVER AGAIN.
Cleaned out now and sprayed in there, and wiped down the front so the cat doesn’t get sick.
I’m HORRIFIED, everything has been chucked.
Edit: to be VERY CLEAR: I am not a filthy person! I’m messy, but not filthy. That has NEVER happened to me before 😭😭😭
You’re not alone!
One time there was this awful smell in the kitchen that I just couldn’t find the source of. Searched everywhere, cleaned everything, still stinky. Thought maybe a rat had died under floor it was so bad.
It turned out to be a rotten potato at the back of the potato rack. Looked fine on top but was mush underneath. The smell was unholy, and it took months to get the residual smell out of the cupboard.
(I’m also not a filthy person, but did feel pretty stupid for missing something so obvious, lol)
The last paragraph 😂
I just had to add that disclaimer, I do NOT live in filth! 😂
Hahaha all good. Believe me, my place has its moments…
