Moving into a role where I have an โจ office โจ - it's a warehouse office, so no glamourous view or anything, although I have demanded a heater. I want to decorate it, anyone got some fun suggestions?

A large cardboard Audrey the monster plant
I love this idea, there's a whole section that would be perfect. Any suggestions as to where one might acquire this?
I had in mind just blowing a picture with the photo copier
It's a warehouse. There will be cardboard boxes - this is a natural law. Box cutter and some duct tape and some bamboo and/or discarded piping for the stems and you can make one to the size you prefer. Teeth can be sushi fish.
Demand a split system for summer too.
HMU if you wanna come by and select some succulents to pot up.
Noooo. Not Sam. ๐ช
It's so sad, especially since he was now cancer free.
Gonna watch me Merlin tonight. Or Daybreakers. Criminally underrated, the pair of them.
He'll always be my favourite Scream King

Time to watch my Death in Brunswick dvd again methinks
RIP
I first saw him in My Brilliant Career.
Disassembling a sump pump, cleaning the filter and reassem...
Fuck if they couldn't put humpty dumpty back together again I don't like my odds.
Quite the gherked up day with one kid still at home and the girlfriend out at appointments. My manager asked if I could try working from home days like this to still get things done instead of taking leave. Okay, a lot of time with a clamp on the TAB key but at least I didn't have to take a day off I guess
Returning after a trip to cairns. Iโฆ am thinking of moving somewhere warmer.
Canโt really handle Melb winters.
I love Cairns... but every time I think about moving somewhere warmer, I remember the humidity and rethink the idea.
Everyone I work with is saying the same thing. I don't know what's wrong with me, I love the cold! Every summer in Melbourne I think, "dammit I need to move somewhere colder" ๐
I'd rather cold than humid and flies.
up there for the marathon? I know a certain gentleman who ate tremendous shit 50m from the finish line

Persons wearing medical scrubs sniffing every 2 seconds on the tram. Yay educated hygiene....
The one that got to me over the weekend was the number of staff from cafes in shopping centres leaving toilet cubicles still wearing an apron! Take it off before you go to the toilet FFS!
Noooo way ๐คฎ
I've seen it happen on many occasions at several different shopping centres: Northland, Highpoint, Airport West and Broadmeadows.
I'm concerned about the infection control risk associated with people wearing medical scrubs outside of work. To me it seems unprofessional.
They've become a status symbol.
Wearing clean scrubs on the way to work I can kinda understand, but on the way home? Or even out on lunch break? What if thereโs bodily fluids on them, surely they be put into the hospital wash and not be take home?

I have a runny nose most mornings in the cold without being ill.
Me every time I go from the cold warehouse to the sauna office.
So for the past week, the grease trap in the dumpster room has backed up. Started slightly flood the dumpster room with old grease from the commercial property downstairs.
They reckon it hasn't been cleaned out properly for years, and the poor new lease holders (a cafe) weren't even aware of it as it wasn't mentioned on their lease. They apologised anyway, and this morning have gotten a company to clean it.
I don't think I've ever smelled anything so fucking rancid. Fucking hell it's foul af. Like bin juice but rotten.
What a lovely way to wake up.
I'm incredibly sad that I know that exact smell.
Fuck you hospitality lol
Loool so fkn gross be glad you don't work in that industry anymore haha
I recently had a liquid waste truck come to take away a vat that I nicknamed my witches brew - it was a 700L vat made up of expired wine making additives. I nearly vomited several times making up the vat (over the course of 1 day - it initially sounded fun but I realised very quickly how awful it would be, like extremely expired kombucha), but when that truck showed up and opened it's valves to start pumping.... oh my god, I will never forget it. It got into every space in the building for days. The gentleman operating the truck was so lovely, I felt so awful that I literally RAN away dry retching. Vomited half way down the warehouse.
Omg looooool! I'm sure he's seen people do worse hahaha!
It's fucking rank! I came home today after my retail course thing and it's all cleaned up and gone thank fuck ๐ I never want that stank anywhere near my notrils ever again ๐
