Lordy today has been a long, intense, mad day. I'm just about ready to delete my brain. So many fires to put out. Oh and somehow the confidential chat I had with my senior colleague somehow turned out to be not so confidential and there's a long waffly email from my boss sent at 5pm on the dot that I'm not even going to bother looking at until Monday.

Only got back 20 minutes ago after yet more driving - thankfully much easier at night and with a full belly and a box of leftovers after serendipitously visiting a not particularly close auntie (I will never be too old to appreciate being sent home with a food packet like I'm still a broke uni student). And I got almost all my errands done.

And because I've been so behind on everything and these site visits were much more complicated than I thought, I need to work on Sunday AGAIN to get urgent deliverables across on Monday. Stg I'm going to be liberal with my timesheet so I can take next Friday off

Waiting on a work call from London before I can sign off for the week. I said 6pm Mel / 9am London. A Friday night work call is bad enough, now they're late. They've got until 6:15pm, then my working week is over. Too bad.

I don't mind so much what the meal is, but I'd like to eat it with a few famous historical figures. Can you arrange that?

Okay as much as I love the infrastructure upgrades to Melbourne, some small things have been ticking me off about it.

  • Multiple occasions where the the west gate bridge says two lanes have been blocked and to go 40km/h only to find out at the end that no work was being done at the bridge at that time (zero signs of any relevant vehicles)

  • Yesterday Williamstown rd inbound was blocked, google maps said it wasn't. Tiny detour sign to say take Grieve parade to come around. Millers rd (before Grieve parade) was actually open as a detour but no mention. Also zero detour signs before you hit Grieve parade exit. I suspect an uncountable number of drivers would have made a mistake there

  • Planning is unclear on PTV app with all the bus replacements, showing you train data on lines that aren't running. Google maps isn't any better either, giving you false information on what trains lines/stops actually available

This on top of an exhausting day was the cherry on top

Hey @[email protected] surely it's cheaper to break a bedroom door down than calling a locksmith. PC (poor cunt) on r/Melbourne has locked himself in his room.
