A very attractive police woman complemented my vehicle last night during a booze bus stop. File under: βCommunity engagementβ
The booze bus sounds much more fun than it is.

Goodnight all β€οΈ
Off in the distance I hear sick d&b beats being dropped; it's the perfect soundtrack to an inner Melbourne evening.
sick d&b beats
Eeee! Bless their cotton socks.
I hear Bill Cat's little cat snores
Today's jam.
James Iha's guitar stuff is fucking awesome.
ooh reminds me it's almost time for my annual pilgrimage of blowing my fucking windows out to Melon Collie
I love that album but Siamese dream is my holy smashing pumpkins album.
Discombobulated in general
And specifically?
Anyone want to tell me a tale about why this bus is so sticky?
You see, when a Methaniel and a bus love each other very much...
I'm going to need new shoes
Please please let it be Fanta.

Also I managed to crack into a laptop I had trouble opening before. Turns out there were screws UNDER the rubber feet. I know companies do this sometimes but this is the first I encountered it myself, not great for repairability as they probably expect you to buy more rubber feet of them to replace the ones you ripped off.
Reminds me of the dungeons in Elden Ring where you'd get stuck and it turns out the rest of the area is UNDER one of the lifts.
Get to work, computer says no. IT says do this x 8. Don't know, fuck it bring us the hardware. I foresee very little getting done today.
That was cool!
There it goes
I have been alerted
yay, belgian waffle maker will be delivered tomorrow along with new keyboard covers, this will help with all the typos I've been making recently
Back in the office after the almost week off. Fortunately there isn't too much to catch up on. A lot of emails are just from head office Sharepoint. They don't seem to realise not everyone in the organisation needs to know about when the local cafe is doing 30c off coffee
Mickey just bit the soft flesh of my knee pit. I don't think I've ever squealed so loudly so early.
You don't realise how soft and vulnerable the backs of your legs are until a cat gets Chompy

My new driving glasses worked well. It's nice being able to read those adjustable speed signs over the freeway a bit sooner.
Ugh. Pants.
You donβt have to wear them, you know.
no, I'm gonna.
Awaiting superpowers ...
Same here. I'm definitely alert, but no powers evident yet.
It's alarm day π€ͺ
I'm looking forward to seeing what superpowers I get from the activation of my Covid chip. You don't think I'll miss out because I haven't had a booster for a few years, do you?
I think my dna has been irretrievably altered - I'm looking forward to seeing what new superpowers are unlocked for me.
I've set a gentle alarm to go off a couple of minutes beforehand to remind myself... but except I'll still jump through the roof when it happens!! I'm surprised by the amount of people who don't know about it.

There's a price update meeting I'm straight up keeping out of. We had a price increase a few months ago where it's quite complicated to have that reflected in a catalogue. We're doing it again and it seems like no one has learnt from last time. I don't need to be part of these conversations that retread the same ground.
This is what prompted people to ask if AI could reconcile the price differences between a spreadsheet and a PDF. The answer was no then and it's still no now
cold out there , no gloves, hand hurts
It's a Melbourne day today - breakfast with a view of the Dandenongs.
