Thanks for the support yesterday. Today was better. Managed some grocery shopping and scored some good beef on sale so now I have mountains of yummy stew cooling ready for the freezer... Little steps.

Discovered work has made a serious security THING. Public video of areas that need three pass swipes and a physical key?? Fucking morons.

This is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard and it's fucking amazing
I never really explored the Radiohead thing. I will have to give them a whirl. My recent listening has been Propagandhi, Failure, and Herbie Hancock.
Try the albums Kid A and Amnesiac.
missed the train, accidently left my handbag at home ๐
Dinner with Boyo's family last night was nice, including Boyo revealing he knows a surprising amount about bees and bee keeping. I've heard of a place that does like a "be a bee keeper for a day" kind of experience, but can't remember it and google is not giving me much help. Anyone got any leads?
Edit: Found it! Beekeeping Apprentice in Yarrambat!
More teams frustrations, this time as an outsider at Coffee Work. Need to login, then login again, then Teams asks you to login. Now you've lost access to everything for no reason
Farken hell it's cold, my frozen nips are gonna rip my jumper open lol
I'm pretty sure I can hear the crowd in the Azteca from here...
What is the point of Teams?
I realised I left my thermos of coffee at work, so I messaged someone saying they can have it because it will go bad otherwise. Get in today and realise the message wasn't sent. This shitty program can't do the most basic thing for the most important of messages
Teams was created specifically to torture office people into servitude to the almighty status indicator.
You can easily keep that dot green forever with a clip-on guitar tuner on the TAB key of your work laptop
Now that's a new one! I know someone who bought a usb "mouse jiggler"
Sometimes places can pick up on those. TBH, those same places could probably pick up on the TAB key being pressed down for hours at a time as well.

I remember the misery laden posting of unemployment
That's very kind of you.
Power has gone out in the office. So it's wfh day. Oh no lol
Oh no, you don't have to go out in the cold โ๏ธ How will you ever survive ๐ฅ ๐๏ธ๐พโ๐โโฌ
Brrrr itโs very chilly out there
I thought it was very British of me going out to the bins in my jim jams, but of course I saw a dog walker out there in a padded winter jacket and still in shorts. I think wearing shorts no matter the weather may be one of the keystone Australian cultural markers.
Knees have no thermostats, or pain receptors. Well known fact.
I wish my knees didnโt have pain receptors!
