Melbourne

Two new people at my co-working space having a Teams meeting on speaker and playing videos out loud. Put up with it for 30 minutes. Then went over and asked them to please stop playing videos from their computer on speaker loudly as it's distracting to my work, and there are free meeting pods around if you need to make noise. No sorry, no speaking at all, just looked at me and each other like I was crazy for confronting them. Amazing how inconsiderate people can be.

They immediately packed up and moved someone else.

Travelling again for work so another slightly dodgy breakfast but I got to hang out with this absolute legend

I bought a new body trimmer. I practiced on the man's back. It was all fun and games up until I accidently nicked the scrotum.

I bought some cheap jeans from Kmart which were too wide in the legs, so have taken the legs in by a couple of inches and hemmed them to a sensible height. They are now presentable enough to wear for general stuff like gardening and dog walking, even if they are never going to be high fashion. It's good to have the sewing space useable, even if it does need a lot more sorting still - the table is covered with fabric that needs to be put away once I can figure out where.

One of the teams in the building had a new guy join 2 weeks ago and clocked the team leader's bullshit with in a couple of days. Come in this morning and his work phone and keys are on his desk and my manager confirmed he'd resigned last night, can't wait to hear how the team leader spins this one. I'm guessing "he just couldn't handle it" as opposed to what we all know is the truth (the team leader is an asshole).

5 hours sleep in a row!!!!

Oh fuck yes!

I'm up. Time to see the young seagoon's off on the rest of their trip overseas to see other fam.

I will miss them so much 😭

I'm still buzzed/happy from the Young Seagoons visit. The bonds have never been stronger. 😊💖They are lovely people.

very old MIL came over

she went on a rant about VicRoads. How dare they ask for all my medical details. my bad health doesn't mean I can't drive, and how dare they ask me to get retested.

"I'm a very good driver, better than "insert name of son" ( who drives her everywhere, ) I see all the things he doesn't. I see everything and anticipate."

She's 86 and can barely get in a car and she can't walk well.

She was so angry when I said maybe she shouldn't be driving.

I'm only concerned that someone else may get hurt.

Narcissism in old age manifests in new and interesting ways.

Got a bag to pack and I'm procrastinating it

Test

I am so tired, sorry I'm not more active here

goodnight, sweet dreams everyone 😘

Took a walk today and am now resting with Melbcat curled into me as the little spoon.

I’ve sorted her specialist appointment and am waiting for it to roll around.

Edit: Crocheting and hopping around finding something to watch. Melbcat got up to lie on the carpet… I’m fidgety and bored

I wish I could find more people that used to live the way I did and got out, and live normal lives.

I've been looking for a long, long time.

Everyone from that world who gets out becomes an acolyte of the 12 step program. That's not for me and those people and I don't get along.

It would be nice to talk to someone who gets it.

Goodnight all ♥️

Was anyone awake to see that Cloudflare outage? Couldn't access any of the readings for my assignments. Lucky I downloaded most of them!

Here's another thing I don't get: Influencers that are just like a regular person. I can understand following rich people or people that were famous for something once. But I saw one woman who just lives in a 100 year old house and is renovating it kind of. I can understand if someone has an online presence about something, but there are people who are just there and don't seem to have any particular niche or angle.

Turned on lossless on Spotify. There is a very clear positive difference in audio quality and not in a gold-plated-audio-cable kind of way. Sounds very full and detailed -- pumping bass and very crispy hi-hats. Didn't know what I was missing.

Some random sketchy dude walked past my flat, came back and peered inside, and claimed to be looking for someone. I growled at him until he left and called the cops. Gfdi.

Come to think of it I heard a sus amount of noise outside earlier but thought it was the black cat. Who knows.

Nights like these I wish I was larger. But it seems I did manage to spook him.
