    About to get out of here and head up to Beechworth to camp with some animals. I think the boys will love it and it will feed their dinosaur phase

    Unreasonably annoyed at an old boss who went out of her way to criticise me for ordering Who Gives A Crap toilet paper for the office because I “didn’t understand how women’s bodies work” and that “women need soft TP”. Mind you this was when WGAC was brand new and before the order had even arrived, and we were a fellow Melbourne startup so I thought pretty good karma at least to support their brand.

    Caught her several years later on social media saying how she has always loved WGAC. No babes. You have not.

    Anyway, I think of this anecdote whenever I refill my toilet roll. Haha.

        First to admit that labia-friendliness was not one of my considerations. I certainly received an education.

        Slightly unrelated but what also prompted my post was stumbling upon this thread about/with deadmau5. People will remember how you made them feel and all that.

          Oh wow. That was wild. I then googled Deadmau5 and he sounds like an arsehole.

          My labias (I like to call them the main gate and the fly strips) are pretty robust so wouldn’t really care what bog roll was in there.

    Confirmed I have to hand over to feckless coworker.

    She rang me almost in tears freaking out about it. I feel bad for her, but she has had to do very little as previous manager protected her.

    Edit: She just rang me so I could dictate an email to her. Jesus christ.

    Drama at the gym! Two guys yelling at each other, thought it was going to turn into a punch on. Others broke it up. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like that in a gym, it’s usually a happy place.

    The kid had a sample of what gastro is like last night. Yep both ends, simultaneously. Gave her a little shock it did.

      Bucket by the toilet when gastro comes knocking. Better to be safe than sorry. And I’d rather clean vomit out of a bucket than the other stuff outta pants or off the floor.

        Apparently what happened was she lent over to turn the taps on the bath and up it rose and out so she squatted down and it came out the other end.

        I heard a weak “mummy”. I go in, see what’s happening, hold her hair back. She says “do you think it was the pasta I had at school? And I’ve shat on your mat”. I reply “yes and dear god”.

        The child then had a shower with undies on and one soiled bath mat.

        I explained what to do next time. Run to the toilet with the bucket.

    Packing continues. Even tho I culled large amounts of belongings over the past 8 months I still have a lot to pack.

    I am still very excited to move.

    It’s a quiet area and I will have so much more privacy too. I hope to get so much work done, art projects and life skills projects, and recuperate from living in this stressful place.

    Decent day of field work owning some data, didn’t get too caught up in disgusting traffic on the way back managed to get to the Todd Rd exit and take some back streets through Port Melbourne. Back at it tomoz to finish up unassessed areas and then (ugh) redo some areas with dodgy existing data … May need an extra day to get through it all.

    Then I’ll need to hurry up and prepare the data for an entire other area up north and start attacking that asap. Goal is to finish it all by the end of the month. I might just squeeze it in bearing in mind I have a friend visiting from overseas for a week as well…

    But for tonight, after having had a couple of drinks with colleagues I am gonna give in to my seafood craving and make a nice Thai seafood curry. I’d normally get takeaway but I think I prefer to spend my money on getting heaps of prawns to make it myself at home. And then I get to really enjoy this week’s tv 😎

    E: also the stripe on my finger is not cancer, whoopee

        I’m going to find out when I actually sit down and analyse the data (still collecting it in the field). P sure there will be some dread and woe buried in there and much refining will be needed. I may need a music dance experience to motivate myself

        First on the list once I’ve made dinner and had a shower! Kind of feel like maybe I should’ve got takeaway as it’s gonna be well past 8 by the time I finish - just walking back home with the goodies - but I’m going to believe that I’ve saved enough money to be worth it…

            I really rate it, though I do think S2 has wobbled a bit compared to S1. It’s a slow burn and really more about the eerie vibe at the start but holds up so well to rewatching once you realise what is going on

              I agree with, felt like the last episodes have really stalled because of what the resolution might unveil.

                Yeah, this week’s episode was definitely one of the weakest, which was kind of what I was expecting. Not sure why certain characters are behaving so oddly, especially with that character calling the other one repeatedly and just casually dropping news, felt like a bit of a contrivance to get that group of characters back together to further the plot. Oh well, can’t be all bangers all the time, certainly does make me look forward to how they wrap this up

    I bought some knitting pattern books for baby clothes. Sent them to a local pharmacy for pickup to prevent thieving, I hope l can collect with no dramas. I’m not a kid person but I figure it would be easier to finish small fast projects. Places like St Kilda mums would always take them. Melbcat may even finally run out of luck and wear them

    Crocheting something to donate and thinking of Lemon.

    I probably made the right choice migrating given Spez’s stance on emulating the Muskrat and the developments there but I kind of thought I’d split my time equally between sites… until a rivalry emerged and the old place changed.

    I miss Lemon. Stompsie. Epicpillowcase. Smeg. I really like this sane low drama corner of the internet but there are so many people I wish had come with us.

      I’m only a few days off it for lentish. Haven’t seen Stompsie about for a while. Epic still has a loser anti fan club of down voters. Lemon is moving house again but has quietened down quite a bit, I hope that’s a sign she’s recovering from the burnout.

      My gripe is that they started playing with posts, like if I sorted by new it wasn’t actually in order of newest post. Or sometimes it would appear that popular posts would be completely hidden from me for the first 24 hours. I’d check in the morning and see a day old post with a few hundred comments that just wasn’t there when I went to bed.

      I reckon with the IPO, a bunch of bad actors bought in and have been subtly playing at manipulating the feeds. Given what happened to digg, I reckon they’re trying minor tweaks here and there, but it leaves the user base as the proverbial frog in the boiling pot scenario. Part advertising, part billionaire mindthink.

          No idea. They’re becoming one of my most up voted users because of it though. When I see reasonable advice at -3 imma chuck a doot on it.

          They even had someone try and impersonate them here in the early days.

    First world problems here.

    It’s my homeless week at work. Someone’s using my workspace today so I can’t settle down there early and I’ve had to move rooms twice already just to have my “breakfast”.

    Also missed out on car parking today so I’ve had to park down the street, really sucks having to haul my stuff because I don’t have anywhere secure to keep this stuff week to week.

    Anyway tired and grumpy so far.

        It’s sucky, I do have a space but it’s been used and taken over since 7:50am so I can’t even set up my stuff. I’m in another room now just playing on my phone, I don’t want to unload work and stuff only to pack it all up again and move and unpack.

        Bad enough I have to carry all my stationary with me.

        I’m milking this!
