As there are so many cat lovers here I will introduce you to Kat, a stray of 9 years.

My real life birthday.

Will be a quiet day as everyone is away and also my car rego has expired but hope to renew it later this week so I can go out.

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Happy birthday!!! I hope you can treat yourself to some game time at home at least. And the weather today has been gorgeous.

I am home. Tropical sun was amazing. Family was ...good. I had fun. But I am tired and in dire need of introvert time. Bed at 8 tonight I think. Back to work tomorrow though.

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a pretty fast turnaround for going back to work! I used to do things like fly in on Monday morning after a holiday but need an increasing amount of time between flights and work these days. Hope you can fully recharge tonight and the rest of the week is chill. Really gonna need to tap on that stored sunlight with the weather forecast for this week.

A huge sigh of relief honestly.

Just remembered Peter Dutton will never been Prime Minister and it really warmed my heart

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Now that Erin Patterson has been found guilty I'm interested to hear everything that's going to come out that couldn't be shared publicly while the trail was ongoing.

I'm also glad I can stop visiting news sites for updates now because holy shit it's depressing.

[โ€“] tone212_@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago

Channel 7โ€™s got the chopper out in Morwell to show us Erin being driven in a prison van from the court. Riverting journalism right here.

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not over yet. Stilll sentencing and possible appeal process!

So we decided to turn over a new leaf at work. Turns out my old manager is under extreme stress for me to succeed in my role. From the way he was saying it, it sounded like there was some hectic shit going on in the background.

He apologised to the 2 dudes he shoved and he's gone back to being normal.

So that's a win.

We worked twice as hard (literally) at last week's eofy event than the same time last year, however there is a backlog of work because we're understaffed and the expectation from the old timers is that we work 12 hour days every day to get it done.

That's not how things work these days. It's not the late 90s.

And the world isnt going to end.

Would have been nice for someone to say "good work leading the team dude".

I get why people buy lottery tickets.

I have a kitchen table again. The seventeen house plants my parents left me to babysit have returned to them

Is the only place to buy those posh lighters only at smokos or the internet?

Was thinking of getting one as a gift, but since I don't smoke, no idea where the proper place to get one is.

Smoke/vape shops will have quite a selection, places like the Reject shop will have some at the cheaper end of the market. Pay attention to how the item is refueled - you want the kind where you can get the injector refills from Bunnings in the bbq section. Cos those lighters are only good if filled with fuel. And the cheap ones tend to leak which can be a problem and a fire hazard.

I was thinking of doing noodles for an easy dinner tonight, but I think my noodles are still in a box somewhere. I'm not sure I have enough enthusiasm for anything else. Maybe cheese and crackers, I'm pretty sure I can find all the ingredients for that.

City sleepover for work. We're doing a workshop on our project management software so I don't know how much work will actually be done. I just hope the dinner is good

Of all my luck theyโ€™re going to do maintenance on the power grid again and Iโ€™ll be without power again for Sunday.

Why do they keep doing this doing my holidays!

I better set the timer for the heater so itโ€™s at least somewhat warm when I wake up and need to figure out food if the maintenance doesnโ€™t end early.

Cat tmi, poo talkMelbcat has been to the vet because she started crying againโ€ฆ it may be that the accidents were from overcompensating with the osmolax, and now itโ€™s been drastically reduced sheโ€™s crying again possibly due to the constipation returning.

There will be a small regular dose (say 1/8tsp) that will slowly increase until a balance is found.

I feel a bit silly but relieved that that could have been it. Itโ€™s ok. Iโ€™m her mum and itโ€™s my job to worry.
