Pre-inspection rental application completed. I'm really missing the days when you would go to the real estate agent, grab the keys for anything you were interested in to go and have a look, and if you liked it you just showed some basic id & proof of income and the place was yours.

I was unsuccessful in my rental application. โน๏ธ
I've booked an inspection of another one which looks ok, but the photos on the website are the same photos it was sold with 7 years ago.
There is another maybe property which looks a bit too good for the price and has been listed for a while, so I am a bit sus about that one. It also has a patch of fake grass in bad condition and a number of very large yuccas.

Ol' boy finally found the piccys from a school trip we did to nepal back in 1999 (I was yr 9 at the time). 200 kids, bunch of teachers, 4 docs who were parents of kids (and went for free lol). And a fuckton of risk, they stopped the trip a year after that as a few kids ran into health troubles. Cheap as shit due to bulk kids.
Was before digital cams so pretty much only the adults had proper cameras. ol' boy had a nice one and got heaps of shots. They're all on slides and negatives.
Looks awful for now until I get them properly imaged but fuck me the memories.
Over easter doing a slide show on an old school slide projector from the 70's that still works down the bellarine w/ the fam. Gonna be lit lol.

Well apparently the reason Iโve been feeling so bad is low phosphate levels and itโs apparently urgent to deal with ๐

Goodnight all โค๏ธ
Spent most of today learning how to navigate my new org's SharePoint structure. Nearly 4 years in the same place and shit was embedded in my memory and almost automatic.
I feel like an infant learning how to crawl again.

Last night I learned that Pluto and Charon are tidally locked with each other, so Charon appears to not move in Pluto's sky.
Our moon is tidally locked with us, so it always shows us the same side, but it moves through the sky because Earth isn't tidally locked with it.
Mind blown ๐คฏ

If you could afford to employ one full time staffers who would it be? Gardener, pool boy, administrator, butler etc.
Personal Polynesian. Just a massive dude that hangs out and occasionally helps out with things.
Housekeeper. No contest.
Japanese house boy. No contest.
full time cleaner and laundry , including cat care
I reckon a chef (who also cleans the kitchen once they're done for the day). Delicious meals prepared for me and time saved cooking / cleaning up afterwards would transform my life.
Cat trainer lol
Hired goon
I think Seagoon might be a bit busy unpacking still
still unpacking ๐ซ

A cleaner, absolutely hands down. Especially the bathroom. Everything else I can somehow handle but the #1 very first kind of help I would get if I had money is a cleaner. Then maybe an admin person (even just to make phone calls, I hate phone calls). Then maaaaybe a cook but I would be very very picky about what they make and how.

Can I have one great all-rounder, to do bits of everything?
Otherwise, definitely personal chef

dog walker atm. Would just love them to get some more walks!
A chef, in a heartbeat.
I've thought about a kitchen hand. They prepare. I cook. They clean up.

it's been lovely ๐
I didn't realise I had the same bug as the rest of the family until I finished my coffee in the office. I managed to get home alright without any problems. Another plus to the location of this place, the last thing you'd want is an hour long train trip after realising you're sick

Just did another botched job of reversing into a parking space. I'm really stuffing up the initial angle. I'm sure I'll get better eventually, but at the moment it is pretty nerve wracking.
Especially with a new car, so terrifying to scrape it. And of course, worried about hitting someone elseโs car! My current car is a bit bigger than previous one, and the first month I had it I wasnโt great at parking it, often had to readjust multiple times, even with cameras and sensors. Got sick of it so then I went to a semi empty parking area and reverse parked about 10 times paying attention to how best to line up and when to turn and after that I was ok. Probably looked weird to anyone who saw but I needed to do it.
Eee yaks
So the one thing yaks don't care about is everything. You get out of the way, they won't.

Forgot to take the compost bin down last night, woke up to enterprising felines flinging lamb chop bones to the floor. The mishcat is untethered and her craves know no bounds
Today is definitely a two-coffee, suffer-no-fools kind of day. Even my colleagues are keeping their distance from my DON'T DISTURB ME vibe. Good.
I chased a moth around the room, gave it an almighty lob with the fly swatter and now I don't know where it's gone.
Ahhh 3 hours more sleep yay!
it's taking so long to unpack and set up house as it's a house of 4 adults and 2 cats including the young Seagoons, this is their base here in Australia and where they keep their things.

Brewed coffee, maybe one spoon isnโt enough for the stovetop coffee, not as strong obviously but lacking some body to it.
Also in other news the price of the PS5 is to set to increase due to whatever reasoning Sony has given.
Increase of 70 dollars, makes me wonder if the rest of the tech industry will up their prices as well.
