Melbourne

Got robbed for the first time ever, just some stuff out of the garage. Still unlikely to vote liberal/nationals.

I've changed so much by reducing my adhd medication.

It's mind blowing.

Imagine all of a sudden, your crippling social anxiety is gone. Just like that.

Unreal.

BLOONS

Lease signed. Bond paid. Automatic rent payments set up. Countdown to key aquisition: 9 days

First day of Erin Patterson's Trial has been pretty wild - including her potentially faking cancer?!

So it turns out the Perth Museum is massive. I've been here three hours and done, like, one floor

tired meow

I'm watching Underbelly for the first time since it "aired" and we all watched it on bootleg dvds smuggled over the border. Still pretty gripping.

Just had my teeth cleaned at the dentist. Holy fucking shit that sucked.

I started looking at furniture and now I have a cart full of stuff. This is possibly also a gateway that will lead me to looking at rugs, and once I do that who knows where it could end.

Doctor problems.

Going in to get a few jabs. Wouldn't let me in because staff yesterday said I need a referral. Got the referral, turns out needed a script. told the GP, said I need a script. He reluctantly writes one up, I go next door to the chemist grab the jab and back to the clinic to be seen by a nurse (who was lovely).

Absolutely pointless waste of time.

Nothing has encouraged me more to have serious conversations with political fence sitters about what an absolute skid mark Clive Palmer is than the amount of spam I have received from him this week.

oh fuck off.

I get a text from a random number "i coudln't find ur address" apparently this is what passes for a fucking missed delivery card with couriers nowadays

I've just realised Miss Meow is going to be able to go outside in the new place. She's not going to be able to scale the colourbond fence, and as long as I make sure there are no gaps under gates or anything like that it should be secure enough.

Late to work because I was too busy reading the drama between Nagi from RecipeTin Eats and Brooke Bellamy/Penguin, oops!

We have phone call & meeting booths in this co-working space for a reason. Guy who works in an office takes call out of the office so as to not bother his staff, but is now pacing around the open plan area where I sit talking loudly on the phone. Make it make sense.

the tide was very low today

I found a sinker and a very good large abalone shell that has a blister pearl

the main attribute of sinkers and lures is they have to attract fishermen into buying them

PTV charges by time but 45min journey turns into 2 hours

I've been wearing my top inside out til now until someone told me about it.

Yep, having that sort of a day.

in somewhat bad news for the coalition I still very much want to call Dutton a dickhead to his face. Also did you know its labour day in qld next week? cant make this shit up.

I started the day with multiple packidge notifs and great delight, i end it with no packidge and great aggro.

Bonus aggro: trying to tell a vendor about a serious code issue on their back end and getting shuffled to the AI dumbass repeatedly telling me invalid solutions that assume i'm at fault. Gaaaaaaaaah

Got some hot cross buns on clearance from Aldi, for the applie and cinnamon ones for 2 bucks.

I just ate a big bowl of super crunchy chips from the air fryer, oh they were so good, haven’t had them for ages.

Old friend asked me the other evening if I missed Carlton.

I do not.

Carlton Gardens were nice but I think I liked them because there were no front gardens in the streets, it was just terrace houses. Here there are large front gardens every where with all kinds of plantings and designs.

Off again today but attended a meeting with the slt of a large national franchise chain.

They were actually pretty funny lol I was surprised how they didn't have a giant stick shoved up their ass.

Othetwise the open mic place is 2 train stops away from work. So very keen to play a show before the end of next month.

PACKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE

I'm going to buy my old laptop off work but it needs a new SSD.

I don't want to spend too much on a replacement SSD, but I need to balance speed and capacity.

There's probably no point looking on the second hand market as SSDs just wear out and I'd be buying one with a shorter shelf life vs going new

I said "ok google" and she replied "I can't find your WiFi. You might want to check your router and connections". Ok. Fair enough but why did the one in the kitchen start playing arabic music? I don't even know what Rayan FM is but it says "Stay with us". Ok, but a please might’ve been nice.

Procrastinated biiiig time today but wow, I have to confess, ChatGPT saved me hours of time and heaps of mental energy by spitting out a perfect script that did exactly what I needed it to and I got the thing done in 5 minutes. Even was able to get an instant solution when I initially got an error (it was because my Python path environmental variable had been misconfigured which was an easy fix). And able to get it to explain or run snips of the code to see what the output would be like...

I feel a bit dumber for not figuring it out myself but then again, seriously, I have better things to be doing with my time and brain right now. So excited that this did what I needed!

there is nothing more frustrating than watching a parcel you fucking well know could have been delivered TODAY if they hadn't been a lazy shit head back across the other side of the state

Having fomo looking at the weather in Melbourne atm. Figures that almost as soon as I get back on Sunday the weather will get warmer again.

Today's the first day I've had some time to myself... or so I say, but I really need to get onto the Python thing for work and wrap that whole thing up today so they can invoice tomorrow. Uggghh I just want to switch my brain off and lie in bed with the AC on watching Animal Kingdom S4 (finally Ellen Barkin is getting phased out. I hate her acting in this show)

But nope. Time to fire up the laptop and get to asking chatgpt how to do the thing

recovered the bench seat, looks really nice

hot work tho, stripped down to my cami, leather tradie glove on my right hand and comfy jeans

now listening to some death in vegas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5nzwqj3utY

here's a pic
