My friend said I was a "legitimate Disney Princess" because of the strays.

I am confused but flattered.

beach picture from yesterday evening, it was lovely out, a mild breeze and the sun wasn't fierce

My thoughts are that I am so glad I found this FOSS version of Reddit. The world has redeemed itself.

I find reddit to be, and I hate this term, but "toxic".

I find it counter productive to jump on social media only to end up in a worse mood than when I started.

Dammit, I just dropped avocado down my front. *Again. It's not even the same type of meal, it was a salad roll today and a bit of avocado coated onion jumped out at me. This wouldn't happen if I didn' t have boobs. Blasted things sticking out and getting in the way.

For a moment I was worried I was in the wrong thread

Check out the band Plantoid if you like your music progressive and jazzy. They put out a new album recently and they have a special place in my heart because I just came across a torrent for their first album on a website randomly. They're not even that big so I was lucky to find and get it. Turns out it slapped so I bought it on bandcamp, just another case of open access to music helping artists

If there's one hat I absolutely hate wearing for this business, it is the IT hat. Spending my evening dealing with IT crap and I have zero patience for it when anything doesn't go to plan.

Trying to integrate new CRM software into my workflow, one of the main reasons I purchased the software licence is because it includes a very useful Outlook desktop plugin. Which only functions if your email account is hosted by Microsoft 365, which mine is not. So now I have to change email providers, migrate my inbox, set up access / 2FA all over again. I can't be bothered with this.

I genuinely feel for you man. That process you're describing is a pain in the ass even for IT people.

The grey cat let me give it head scratches and pats.

#disneyprincess lol

I hate that even when I try to be at work on time, I'm late. Part of me knows it's because I get away with it, but it's still shit behaviour.

[โ€“] phant@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Samsies. My current workplace doesn't deserve better, but I am worried it'll become an ingrained habit.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago
