Iโm going to sleep and I can hear magpie warbling in the distance. Thatโs so strange at this hour.

The running theory, from what I understand, is that with how loud the daytime is, birds have taken to communicating when it's quieter, i.e nighttime
It's 3.07am and I can hear two magpies warbling to each other.
It's also sexy season for magpies I think. Last year I had a juvenile near me all summer who would practice singing all day and night. I still can recognise his little personal song.

Yesterday I found out Iโd made a mistake with the ato about 3 years ago that will most likely result in a very significant debt.
It was my fuck up, and I accept that.
Iโm the one who approached them first, when I realised something was wrong which will work in my favour in a big way.
But still Iโd be lying if I said I wasnโt really, really worried about the outcome.
So far theyโve been pretty good and have asked for more info. The tone of the call with the debt team was surprisingly light and the guy I spoke to said โeveryone makes mistakesโ.
But yeah, I have enough shit to deal with right now and this on top is a lot.
Thanks for listening.
The ATO will happily work with someone to pay a debt off! They only take legal action if the entity in debt is being obtuse and evading.
You did the right thing, it will work in your favour, and you will have the option of a payment plan!
the only way to handle this is confronting it head on and getting good legal advice
You can stretch it out over about 24 months so at least it won't be a big hit all at once

I have locked myself out of my house like a dill. Waiting for a locksmith to come to the rescue.
Ya dill
Update: I'm unclear on whether my house is Fort Knox or whether this guy is a terrible locksmith. I suspect the latter.
Hope you agreed on fees upfront - I've read wayyyyy to many horror stories!!
The fees weren't too horrendous, but I no longer have a door handle. I'll need to find a slightly better locksmith to fix everything.

At some point today I must be an adult and go - in person - to the bank
I too need to do this in the near future.
Thankfully banks don't seem to be so busy these days.
if you can find one

I hope nothing has gone extremely wrong to require an in person bank visit
The man turns 50 next week. That's 30 years knowing each other. I say to him "I know you better than you know yourself". He says "that's true".
He has the week off. It's gonna be a blast.

We might play a little Scrabble with words you don't find in the Oxford dictionary.
Oh no, had to hand in my PC to a repair tech this morning. Silently died overnight it seems, and I reached my limit of troubleshooting. I suspect PSU is tripping since I get a brief light up and then only baseline power.
Carrot cake?
Yarp. I love carrot cake, so I had to
It called your name. You had no choice. It's my favourite too. Enjoy
Carrot cake = best cake
yum
I just had the KFC kebab and I think it's just one of their regular wraps delivered in foil instead of paper
Iโve started a new medication thatโs meant to help my stomach and almost immediately

Someone at work has decided that Wednesdays in the office need jazzing up
They want to start something called The Hump Day Quiz and are looking for volunteers who want to be (I wish I was making this up) The Humpmaster
I can't.....
Lol, give it a search with safety off. You might be able to cut this off at the pass. I suggest the Wendnesdayinator or MC Wed.
I did message the person asking if they thought the name through fully.
