Today I convinced a client to dump their incumbent provider and sign with the org I work for.
Got another client to agree to a full security audit.
And a 3rd one to let us do their cyber security insurance.
Big wins for a Monday. Sadly positive feedback is non-existent here. Ah well.
Catching up with a friend I haven't seen for 30 years on Saturday afternoon. We reconnected recently and now she's back in Australia. Just not sure where to go! I'm going to ask them at work, they all actually go out to grown up places ๐Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Oh that's exciting!! I hope you have a wonderful time! Are you going into the city or looking for a different area?
Forecast 29 degrees. Maybe some CBD area galleries and late arvo cocktail?
Again. Same spot. The kid in front of me almost got hit by a car. These fucking pieces of shit.
I was juggling shopping bags and my heavy backpack on one shoulder arriving home earlier when the backpack slipped off my shoulder and landed directly on my big toe.
Screams of anguish followed, my god it hurt like hell. Worst part is over and I'm icing my toe.
Sorry to hear it :(
When that happens to me, I start quickly repeating "worstpartisover worstpartisover". I think it helps.
Maybe.
Every 4 years I fall in love with multiple female biathletes
Lent is this Wednesday. I'll be doing no added sugar during lent as per usual. If anyone wants to join me you're welcome to.
Is that like no lollies or no sugar in tea?
No lollies, cakes, biscuits, ice cream, chocolate, soft drinks etc. Fruit is allowed. I don't have sugar in my hot drinks anyway.
I am already struggling with removing all dairy from my food.
When I run out of cheese I'm not planning on buying anymore for a bit. But I have a fair amount of cheese in the fridge, dam you savemore.
I would sooner give up all booze before cheese. I wish you strength!
I'm not doing it for lent, just taking a break from cheese. I had a crack at veganism last year but I really like eggs, and a bunch of online vegans are total cocks about it.

Melbcat has eaten a little bit of wet food thanks to the antinausea shot last night.
Iโm extremely worried though. What I think has happened is she may have a post-surgery kidney injury, which was a risk and could have worsened her kidney disease by a lot. This could be serious. Having that surgery could have made her much sicker and shortened her life.
Iโm still waiting for a call with the full blood results.
I dropped avocado covered with salad dressing down my front while eating lunch. I tried to clean it up with a wet wipe and now I have a giant wet patch and smell of disinfectant. ๐ญ
get as much of that stuff off as possible before you wash as avocado will stain clothes
I'm sometimes a bit sad that my mother was not good at making salads and I grew up thinking of them as boring garnishes on the side of the plate. Now that I've mastered the art of combining ingredients and creating nice dressings salads are often my favourite part of a meal. A waste of all those years I could have been eating salads if only I'd realised sooner!
Melbcat slept all day yesterday, ate little and walked out oddly wobbly with her heels down to have some cat grass. Down at the emergency vet and they say itโs ataxia. Waiting on bloods
sending lots of healing vibes and hugs ๐ซ๐โโฌ
Thanks. Her potassium was high which could be her kidneys, weโll hopefully get the blood results tomorrow.
Sheโs had an anti nausea shot. Just ate biscuits and drank some water
Iโm going to play with my new onigiri molds
Whatcha gonna put in them?
@Bottom_racer@aussie.zone mid March includes a Saturday as the 14th PI DAY just a thought...
ee that means party pies :) I will do a few test runs they usually explode.
The 15th is Baku's birthday if they're still about.
3 bathrooms done ( including cat room ) , one to go
all done, including some extra tidying and making a tray of mixed berry coconut ice treats
I need to remember to bring my kobo to work. I'm reading this play about Peer Gynt and I can feel how it's based on folklore I know nothing about
I keep getting notifications saying my phone battery has deteriorated and that I should contact Samsung support. Going to use AccuBattery to see how low that percentage has gotten.
I will now be known as LowBatteryHealthPercentage2368.
