My new role has been particularly complicated and annoying due to EOFY. Today is the final day things are particularly complicated and annoying. Very excited for this one particular process to go back to normal tomorrow.

Edit: where is chef? I still want curried sausages and mash!

WFH as I've caught The Thing Going Around from the kids

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

I've got some meetings today it will be easier to attend but I might just take tomorrow off for the heck of it

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A stressful dream about jigsaw puzzles. Giant boxes of pieces and I had move them with losing one piece. Like millions of pieces.

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

I reckon this is unKaos biting back at your subconscious.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s brighter today than it was yesterday, for the first time in like 6 months. Keep hope alive.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I need to get on board this unKaso train.

Edit: unKaos. Though maybe I'm on board the unKaso train and didn't realise it.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

I have a little unkaosing to do today as well.

Miss Meow didn't wake up this morning.

I think I'm a bit in shock and not sure how to feel, this is very unexpected.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. 🫂❤️

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

My deepest condolences 🌈🖤

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Oh no. What a shock for you.

But also a blessing that her last days were with you and not vet visits. 🖤

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

What a horrible surprise. All the feels. I agree with Eagle that its good that her last days were normal: at home and in her comfort zone, not vet visits and extra stress. Give Mr Woof an extra pat & hug from me.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

so many hugs

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

So sorry to read this. Sending you and Mr Woof much love and warmth 💜 🌈

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Awful. Really sorry to hear that.

[–] Force_majeure1234@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Sorry for your loss 😞

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

I'm so sorry, sending you all of my love

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

I'm so, so sorry ❤️

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

oh my god I'm so sorry

[–] tone212_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

That’s awful, I’m so sorry to hear that 😢

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Oh wow. Biggest hugs. Godspeed Miss Meow 😺🌈

Back from the beach yesterday..

pothole: 1

Car tyre: -1

Crawled to a servo in werribee about 11am. Sat there for 4 hours waiting for a tow. Luckily bro and SIL were at the werribee zoo and gave us a lift back. Left car at the servo and key with the servo dude for the tow (quite common apparently had my doubts though).

Sat next to bro/SILs bubz... he woke up, had one look at me and started crying.

Back home at 5pm. Out for dinner for some overpriced gnocci but the garlic focaccia well up there. Sat next to same bubz who was hitting me on the arm and laughing at me for 2 hours.

Apparently tow arrived at 8pm lol.

I'd give yesterday a solid 6/10.

Coulda been worse.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oof, that doesn't sound fun, but am glad you made it! And yay for garlic focaccia as a nice top off!

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't that bad. Servo had a subway, maccas and red rooster heh.

But fuck me subway isn't cheap these days. Think the last time I had it was about 20 yrs ago.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

I just watched a video about Jared lol, I'm kinda surprised Subway is still alive after that fiasco.

Fun fact, Jared the Pedo could be released in 5 years. So that will be interesting to watch unfold lol

Welcome to my neck of the woods. I think you were near my place by the sounds of things.

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Well, we got El-Jannah for the whole office so Monday is salvaged!

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

sounds delicious 🙂

and at Miss Seagoon's request we're also having Lebanese for dinner tonight

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

El-Jannah is definitely on my To Try list!

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Playing a show Thursday. It'll be a good warm up for the year.

Decided I'll be doing one every couple of weeks from now on.

I was putting flyers up for my show at the magic festival and was wondering if there is a list somewhere of community notice boards that people can give their flyers to put up. I know libraries have them and some cafes but can't find a list

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

No solid list but libraries, community centres, supermarkets, some cafes, those are the places I can think of off the top of my head

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We wondered for a while what nationality the neighbours from across the road were. Islanders of some sort. Well today the question has been solved. Their JBLs are so loud I was able to shazam it from my garage. They're Samoan and they like to sometimes party on a school night.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

this calls for a TISM song

what nationality is .... https://open.spotify.com/track/3FViJpwVEespLiIBv940Iz

I strung some bead necklaces for Miss Seagon's b'day. It's not as easy as it looks. Made with garnets, aquamarines, seed pearls and many different kinds of crystals and beads.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

These are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! What a gorgeous gift.

[–] Force_majeure1234@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Very pretty 😍

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Thanks. I wish I could show the sparkle

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Ooh looking good!

Finally ordered a NAS and it arrived today. I could probably do the same thing with the PC running OMV I have, but there's so much more setup involved and I keep running into roadbocks with networking. I'll use this and keep it simple whilst I learn to do things by myself

We'd been wondering how to get the kids to clean up after themselves more and getting a robot vacuum cleaner has unexpectedly resolved that issue.

The kids are so excited about having a robot and they want to be it's friend so they put things away so the robot can do its job. It's been a double win
