Have to make A Phone Call. Wish me luck...
Update: phone call made. Case manager was understanding and took me off Difficult Client's schedule. Also it transpired that the system -at least the scheduling system - hadn't been updated and was showing me still in Cheltenham.

Hardcore nostalgia with the music tonight!

My work from home equipment arrived today. God it's different working for a normal company.

Certain types of companies are great for a foot in the door, but you can't stay forever.

Been feeling low and grumpy today. Positive emotions completely dulled while negative emotions seem to get an extra boost. But at least I cut short the work day on both ends today and had some wins at work.

My favourite auntie got into a bad and easily avoidable car accident (total write off, front looked completely mangled) thanks to her stupid idiot overconfident narcisssistic husband, who honestly should've been off the roads years ago. They're in WA so no way of easily going there. Instead here I am simmering in anger at that man (nobody likes him. Except my aunt who is a martyr). Thank fuck there were no injuries, maybe minor whiplash for my aunt.

At least I guess it means they'll get a new car with all the safety features but really the safest thing they can do is take the dickhead's licence away. I hope he'll voluntarily do it after this massive wake up call... small chance given his outsized ego but he's softened a bit over the years.

On the migraine train today…

Gratitude thread ✨️

Grateful for female friendships! Not being upset like I was a year ago because my ex was too busy to talk to me. The sun. Dog attempting to wake me up twice, potentially because someone has either left the house or arrived.

Back home after sleep school. I won't say finally a chance for a regular night's sleep, but lets try to keep up the good habits with the kids and there might be many good nights' sleep for us in the future

Cheers everyone and 'ave a great weekend 🍺

Anti-gratitude thread

The delayed phase sleep syndrome I'm dealing with. Even when I've woken up early and gotten shit sleep, I can't seem to fall asleep early. Going to the pharmacy to get my hands on some schedule 3 meds.

How to jump start a neighbour's Ford Focus with the key-opened bonnet :

Step 1: Try to open the bonnet.

Step 2: With their friends, in total four of us, take turns repeating step 1 while watching YouTube.

Step 3: Celebrate too hard after finally spending almost 2 hours getting the damn bonnet open ... and helplessly watch as they accidentally smash the windshield with said bonnet.

Step 4: Connect batteries, start car, warn neighbour fuel is at 5%, pray that they have enough to gain enough charge to restart after refuelling.

Step 5: Bitch about the problem.

I have a neighbour who's a drummer. The marching band kind, not the death metal kind. I love hearing them practice. They're a couple of houses away I think and it's lovely and soft and rhythmic.

@Seagoon_ My boss (this is not the "manager") insists on having a team meeting every Friday afternoon.

She insists on having another one first thing Monday morning.

Are these meetings happening so we can talk about what we're working on?

Well, not really. That's what the Wednesday meeting is for.

No, I'm now 99% sure the whole point of the Friday meeting is so she can tell everyone how much fun she will have skiing or bushwalking this weekend.

And the Monday one? That's to force people to listen to how much fun she had skiing or bushwalking this weekend.

[-] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 6 points 3 months ago

Its an evil plan to ensure that no one chucks a sickie on Monday or leaves early on Friday. So these meetings might not accomplish anything worthwhile workwise, but improve her management statistics for absenteeism ... I would take my laptop into the meeting and just get on with my job, ignoring her non-work related stuffing around. If she objects, tell her (and her manager/boss) you're sick of her wasting your valuable and expensive time on nothing.

My filling that I got on Monday started hurting at about 8pm yesterday. It's odd. I didn't have any pain on Tuesday, obviously didn't have any on Monday (half my face was numb), and on Wednesday I only had a little bit that was easily fixed with a Panadol. This one isn't so lucky. And it seems to have been timed nicely with feeling a bit blegh.

Hopefully I have a good sleep, and a good sleep fixes it

I know LJ is kind of a dinosaur of the internet these days, but there's still one or two I go back to read the updates... haven't been able to for the past week, always getting that "page did not respond" and it's hitting me in the feels. Mostly because I've had a shitty day, it's the first day of my period and I'm just... wah. Being whiny.

Cant tell if it was a dream, or if I really did hear mice in the roof last night. If it was real I've gotta say: they are late this year. Usually they come around May/June. God I hate the skittering sound when its on the plaster directly above your head.

I decided against meatballs instead made stuffed capsicums so I asked google how long to put into the airfryer and she replied with "I don't know. Here's a link I found on the web" which I did not receive because it will go to the man's phone instead.

Yesterday I asked her how to whistle she replied "Some people say to close your lips and blow but it's hard to do without lips".

My google has turned sassy.
