Melbourne

So yesterday I was running late for work, turned a corner and put out for hard rubbish was..

I couldn't believe my luck; half deflated tyres, rusty as hell but with perfect working brakes and no spiders under the seat, I thought "you'll do me!" I rode it carefully the rest of the way to work. Well, I've kinda fallen in love.

Today I bought a helmet and lock. She's perfect: not so grand she's a target for thieves, grand enough for me to ride to work.

Today I rode her home to begin a new life with me, and it felt good.

Edit: please ignore my shitty side way garden.

packing has commenced. I made the first book box and turned around for a sec to grab the box lid.

spoiler

They're giving my hopeless co-worker the clients I've been managing.

This is fucking hilarious. They couldn't even handle 1 client lol

🎵 Everything is broken

Everything is screwed and we're totally fucked 🎵

Ted is really enjoying helping with the packing. 🙂

took tomorrow off, four day blitz on garage to deal with sorrow commencing

I feel deeply uncomfortable going to this funeral today. I really hate funerals, but it’s about being there to support a friend.

Got a bit of a gentle but well-deserved telling off from my supervisor about needing to finish collecting data by the end of the month. Stupid fucking ADHD brain really does need a threat to kick start itself. I hate it but it is what it is. Let's get this shit done.

Boss: can you check grafana pls, we have a lot of sites currently offline

Me: yah, they're all qld east coast

Boss: so?

Me:........

I'm gonna drink tea and watch The White Lotus all day today.

Pizza was the better choice. I forget how shit KFC makes me feel the next day despite how tasty it is in the moment.

In other news, pretty much disconnected from everyone at work. I check the laptop a couple of times a day.

I really will miss these people but the situation was untenable.

I feel very unproductive though, which I dislike. Have been doing gym every day, plus guitar etc.

I think I actually miss work.

Goodnight all ❤️

I've not managed to achieve anything since lunchtime because the entire tech ecosystem my job relies on is melting down.

On the other hand I did manage to make happy noises at a co-worker's dachshund puppy over webcam...so it is not a complete loss

I don't want to say too much but lately my kid has been helping me obtain cookbooks, movies and tv series 😉 and I am in my glee. Finally she's earning her keep.

Overcome by yet another overwhelming wave of lethargy and sleep and needed to doze off for an hour there. This isn't good it's definitely a slide into the ol depresso funtimes. I can see myself trying to block out the huge cloud of sad/bad by just sleeping instead of doing anything ...

I am going to hit the pavement tomorrow, Saturday and maybe even Sunday if the weather's right, to get the west side data all collected, especially as now I really can only get data between about 10 and 2. Which is good in a way because fuck traffic and fuck getting overheated/dehydrated again during long days. But it means I might have to redo some my previous data... sigh... anyway I just need to get my head down, bum up, and go for it

Noodle diaries day two:

Hot ones today

why does it feel hotter today than yesterday?

Moon tonight. Been a while since astro glad all of it still sort of works.

Fried rice is a lunch win

Wave.

Camera almost drowned bit ruff out there :(

I’m really regretting yesterday’s nap -_-

But I repaired Melbcat’s bed. The filling had become lumpy from being washed and had shifted so some spots were no longer padded. So I unpicked a small hidden section of the seam, gutted it and restuffed it with ‘new’ stuffing from a pillow. Then I hand sewed it shut.

bloody hell, esso got cancelled 7 hours into the entry queue

Thanks Brion. 🙂

good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘

At Southland right now.

Some sort of emergency going on at Myers. Announcement going off and police at the entrance.

Woo hoo, light workload day tomorrow!

New season of Daredevil is pretty good. Slow start, but they're building it up to something big.

D'onofrio as Fisk is still great.

Come on weekend, please get here soon, it's a long weekend!

KFC or Pizza?

I'm an email in the browser kind of guy. I don't know how people put up with a client. I like to open a link and have it go into the tab next to where I'm reading. I like being able to have my emails open in different tabs in multiple windows. Maybe it's because I'm young, but it's how I've always done it

Doing orthodontics claims. MAN people have expensive teeth
