have sore throat, will sleep more

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

๐Ÿ–๐Ÿป sore throat club checking in...me too

Half my team is down today with one lurgy or another...why can't it ever be easy.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

I'm feeling a bit ucky myself today. Called in sick and went back to sleep for a bit.

The nice thing about calling in sick on a day I expected to work is that all my meals are already prepped. As an extra bonus if I need it I have all those jars of chicken soup I made a few weeks ago ready to go.

Kisses atop his furry little head from me, please.

[โ€“] Pilk@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pleased to hear you are keeping up with your legal obligation to squidge them beans. Your dedication has not gone unnoticed by corporate.

Bit of a rough morning.

Chilli powder yesterday went well. 8 hrs @ 60c in the oven. Air purifier maxxed out lol. End up breathing it in, and then also it goes through 2 latex gloves and absorbed through skin. Stuff is pure fiyah.

Gonna do another batch today as some weird form of self flagellation. Gonna keep the windows open for this one.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

Bought new slippers, as a pressie to myself. Also had some nice pairs, but none in my size, until I saw the perfect pair! Last one in my size too!

pink fluffy slippers

Looks like they're putting the elevator in next door. Single dwelling, 4 (I think?) stories. I dunno but it'd just feel weird getting in an elevator in your home (unless mobility concerns etc.). I have no idea what sort of person would live in that sorta place. Thankfully it's to the south.

Renderings are up... Fuckn' wild:

The way I recoiled in horror at that street front.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

That joint has less personality than a shopping centre.

This just looks like any other new build in a upper-class area, extremely boring. And I'm guessing some heritage home was knocked down so we could have this beauty? Money doesn't buy taste.

Having lined parking spaces in your own garage, what a luxury

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

Yup. No soul at all.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

I just don't understand why

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

gyaaah. aiming for caviar and cocaine but landed on fish fingers and fentanyl

[โ€“] Force_majeure1234@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What I find most absurd is the fact this that an under-construction private residence has its own website

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

Spending that amount of $ you'd probably want some say in the design. These guys just build it then see who bites I guess. Risky model imo.

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

wooo Kodi auto-update monitoring scripts written, set as services, running every 60 seconds.

...... now to see if they blow out the jumpbox or fileserv

spoilerWell the RSPCA were useless :/

I can lodge a welfare report but either they talk to the owners which will land me in the shit and likely nothing changes, or thereโ€™s a slim chance of him being taken away. Neither are great outcomes.

The other alternative is I talk to them but in my experience they wonโ€™t take it on board. They tend to just get defensive or hostile and donโ€™t change.

Or I confine him for 2 weeks to ensure treatment and then release him hoping heโ€™s healthy enough not to contract it againโ€ฆ but thatโ€™s dicey as legally heโ€™s someone elseโ€™s property.

Fuck I hate neglectful owners. Theyโ€™ll allow a situation to develop where their animal is unwell and/or causing problems to others but youโ€™re the bad guy and youโ€™re the problem if you do anything about it.

Inner North Brewery, 3pm tomorrow. Be there or not lol

Should be hanging out there for a number of hours :)

[โ€“] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know I've been asking for advice a lot on here, so I just wanted to thank you all for your thoughtful replies and for being here <3

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fresh off the tree ready for dehydtation then in a few hours.. chilli powder:

Gonna bring some tm.

Buckle up buckaroos

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fuck I love south park. The other one that kills me is the one with Brittany Spears missing half her head. Okay, that sounds terrible when written, and it is, but it's also funny

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The other fave of mine is manbearpig. They apologised for that but that was fuckn' funny.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

Manbearpig is gold, I like they fixed it, but it's still great! I adore the Randy being Lorde plot, I still say "yah yah yah I am Lorde" when idle ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Saw the cat. He was kinda following me but by the time I got ready he was gone. Little shit.

I should have just made the RSPCA report.

Are peoples cats sleeping longer during winter or is mine just lazy lol

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mickey has just been very needy, if we're moving around he gets angry and starts swiping my legs until I sit down and let him in the oodie or on my lap/chest. He's been sleeping on our bed as well, when during summer he'd be in one of his cubbies or stretched out on the floor.

I think they all get a bit lazier as the weather cools off.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

It's hard to tell. Miss Meow may have increased from 97% of the day to 98%.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

the meowing from Bill has increased

and the boys are sleeping upstairs in the living room now because I leave the heater on up there
