Dins was chicken wingettes, marinated in nostimini and fried crispy, then a half cup of water added to the pan and steamed for 20 mins. Brussel sprouts quartered lengthwise and microwaved with butter separately. All on a slice of Lawsons bread - the best of the plastic bag breads imo. The remaining wingettes and the liquid from the pan will be kept overnight. If it sets solid (it should) will keep liquid as stock and munch on the wingettes for lunch tomorrow. Sauced to taste. Simple, easy and yum.

Drink a glass of water. Can sometimes help. Hot water if the weather is cold.

Who drives this body? You? Or your tummy?

(That's roughly the inner dialogue I have when I'm hungry)

Only an hour and half and I am at last on my weekend! Have two cars I'm test driving tomorrow and then it's sweet FA and night shift prep.

In exciting news, it looks like the cons of having us back in the office are starting to stack up and managements feeling a little pressure from a few directions to boot us back home for all or part of night rotation again. Crossing all the limbs because doing nights from home was the greatest thing to ever happen during covid.

Up late with a coffee and a smoke (i know, i know)
I sit wondering if life is just a big joke
A passing thought only, it doesn't overstay,-
Into my river all fears are swept away.

Prefill data finally came through. Not grumpy at all about the pathetically low tax return this year, no siree, 250$ is surely in the same ballpark as $2-5k in past years...

my love affair with the patties sausage rolls is OVER.

I know I've said it before but I'm super serious this time.

Okay, it's been a few hours and I'm still in character creation (it's expected, it's how I roll), and I've narrowed it down to a gold dragonborn, but can't decide on a class.

Sorcerer, Druid, or Ranger? Druid and Ranger for Speak with Animals and Animal Handling, respectively. Sorcerer because I love them.

Oh my god. I’m here wondering when my podcast gets uploaded and realised it’s only Tuesday.

Bleh!

Also I crave sugar :(

My puffer jacket isn't uniform but I'll be damned if I'm taking it off this morning. I've even recruited my under-desk heater because I couldn't feel my feet. This is more like the Melbourne winter I remember.
