Hey guys

I just wanted to let you know I will no longer be making the new thread at midnight. If I'm awake at that time I'll do it otherwise I'll be asleep like a normal person.

I have enjoyed steering this ship the last few months and I hope you laughed at least once at my stupidity. I guess this is my resignation letter. I look forward to going back to my regular bedtime.

Many thanks @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ♥

It's always fun when the street view car gets pulled in for RBT.

Depression is driving me crazy 😭

I think being bed bound for 2 months did not help.

I've figured out my next audiobook now that I've finished World War Z.

I'm going to try and work my way through Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. There's like 41 of them though and figuring out a reading order is pretty complicated. Peoples "guides" online are more suggestions than guides. One thing everyone agrees on though, even apparently Mr. Pratchett himself, is not to start at the beginning.

I've started with book #4, Mort. Which is the first in the "Death" sub-series. Like I said, it's complicated.

Also I found a site with a torrent of aaaaaall of the audiobooks which makes me very happy.

Shout out to the homeless bloke screaming at me on my way to the station this morning. Just a great way to start the morning. Also love that after having a go at me for what ever imagined sin he calls out "help me" after I've walked off and ignored him. Yeaaaaah, not gonna do that dude. My empathy extends as far as not taking your crutch off you and belting you over the head with it.

Thank you rubbish truck driver for knocking over my recycling bin. Always a pleasure being hunched over and gathering pieces of cardboard at 730 am.

Good think the recycle truck hasn't been around yet.

Bit chilly this morning. I had to put pants on. They have sloths on them. ☺

I made a chocolate cherry cake this morning and have already eaten far too much of it.

This sewing thing would go considerably faster if I could do any while the cats are awake. Pin thieving varmints!

Myki inspectors on 64 heading out of city along St Kilda Rd, now at commercial rd

I'm 100% sure I'll regret this in a few months but right now the cold is really so welcome. I love not sweating!!

I just ate an avocado that wasn’t unripe or overripe. That never happens !!! I should buy a lottery ticket right ?

This week has been a lot more cruisey at work after getting through the backlog. Thank heavens for the school holidays. Go away everyone!

I went to this party the other day. There was this lady there that kept staring at me whenever she was near by and I was chatting to someone. I introduced myself but didn't get a chance to talk to her again that night.

I'm going to be in a group of people and she'll be there as well on the weekend.

Do you think it's worth trying to ask her out?

I know how this sounds but I missed a lot of this stuff growing up due to bad decisions.

I feel like a teenager with this stuff.

Another work person wanting something early this morning disturbing my personal time.

I'm a little irritated by it today and eating into my coffee time early in the moment.

I need to learn to deflect and defer them for later and to be able to tell them that in person.

I was digging through my photos from Adelaide and found more angry warning signs. So continuing on from my Adelaide complaint thread a few weeks ago:

Being at a train station without intending to board a train is a $1,250 expiration notice, just like not buying your bike a ticket (their version of Myki is on the train, so the station isn't a ticketed area)

Standing too close to the driver door is a $750 expiration notice

Walking through carriages while the train is moving isn't just politely discouraged, it's also a $750 expiration notice

Notably though, they seem to have replaced all the cops with ambulance drivers and Wilton security lol. Only saw 1 cop car there, but about 100 Wilson security and about 1000 ambulances (that must be where all ours vanished to)

I could really go a good hot Shepard's Pie right now.
