"But you have a stress free life and you can do what ever you want" ( this is what fam of origin tells me, all the while they love having me do all the household stuff )
seems like she has a very active mind, maybe some night school would be good for her
Still anxiously waiting to hear about my internal move. My colleague who applied as well and didn't get to "reference check" stage like I did had a meeting yesterday to explain why she didn't get the role. Apparently there were 4 positions and over 200 applicants, internal and external. Hoping tomorrow maybe I hear I got it? Maybe the next day? After every break from my computer I'm expecting an email or teams msg scheduling me for a meeting but stillllll waiting
I kept looking at my new wooden spoons thinking "I'm pretty sure you should oil those". Went down a rabbit hole and discovered yes you should with food grade oil and not cooking oil. Well, I don't have any. Wait. Yes I do because I moved it the other day. Chopping board oil! Yes! They're gonna get a nice bath then I'm gonna lube them up.
They don't talk about the little things in the book of Adult when you turn 18.
Doing pharmacy roulette today trying to find prescribed medication in stock. Chemist Warehouse made me wait a good 20 minutes just to tell me no stock. Went to two other places, no stock or about to expire. Finally lucked out and found it on the 4th attempt. Waiting in busy pharmacies just triggers a stress response in me.
Would you like some stuff related to that? Most of the paints and glues may have dried up being over 10 years old but the Green Stuff brushes and tools should be fine (and maybe the washes)
Just let me know if you have an address or PO Box you want it posted to
I have a single Warhammer one. It always seemed too big a commitment to get into (and a large quantity of the sort of unpleasant persons I quit D&D because of). Tiny brushes I can always use if you really wish to rehome them.
Yeahhh… I get you. Most were chill but there are stereotypes about both for a reason and I did not want to go back. It’s also very expensive and cluttery as a hobby and not safe around curious little paws.
I’ll see if they’re still in good shape, though they’re smallish rather than tiny. You might also be able to buy bulk packs of tiny ‘disposable’ eyeliner brushes for cheap https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/317527300206
My stomach hasn't been 100% but I'm at least doing a morning in the office because I have an open IT ticket.
ALT+TAB on my computer has stopped working properly. That's not the sort of thing I thought could break. And you know what IT departments are like, if you can't do things to their schedule they'll just close the ticket
It's not showing the overlay of all windows and ALT+TAB only cycles in one direction, not alternating between most recently used windows. I can use it in the same way if I use ALT+TAB then ALT+SHIFT+TAB, but I need to remember which window is the regular and which is the SHIFT window.
I'm not sure if the multitasking settings will help, I've looked there and tinkered with the options and nothing has made a difference. The only thing I use multitasking for is turning off that annoying feature where Edge tabs come up in your ALT+TAB options
it could also be peek settings, but it's definitely windows trying to be a smartarse clashing with a GPO if this is a work machine an admin can do it but your login can't
I have persistent longstanding abdominal pain with no apparent cause in combination with known medical issues around digestion, and it really affects my life/being able to eat. A lot of people with my disability end up with a feeding tube but I’m being denied funding for one and there’s the potential for it to increase pain.
It’s chronic but naturally it does worsen with stress
That sucks to hear and I'm sorry you have to go through that amongst everything else. We say our health system is better than the US but it still has all these barriers to punish people just for needing the support it's supposed to provide.
My new budget tracking spreadsheet has worked, both the bank and I agree on how much money I have. There were a few initial glitches where I set up some calculations wrong but it appears to now be working. I was resisting changing to the spreadsheet instead of multiple bank accounts to track everything because of the hassle factor, but now that it's done I think it is actually an easier system. It will also make things much more coherent for the bank when I get to the stage of applying for a loan. Just one bank account with minimal transactions instead of 23 with constant transfers back and forth.
I've put a wrist strap on the vacuum phone because it's just so wide and flat. Combine that with the camera bump and there are a few times it has flown out of my pocket from getting caught on the way out.
When we were at the Blue Lotus Watergardens the other week I was terrified of holding my phone out to get a photo and fumbling it into the water.
Modern phones are one thing that could convince me rich people are actually aliens or lizard people because these things are not made to be handled by human hands. They almost feel more suited to a tentacle or a rough padded lizard foot

Yeah, seems things are ~$30 a class these days. :(

Please no. Let Crossfit die the death it deserves
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 114d
BJJ is an exercise class.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 114d
That's very true. But it's differnt, mainly cause I'm a hypocrite
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 114d
I think F45 has replaced crossfit these days but IDK. I was originally thinking yoga or pilates.

10 hours of restful sleep was attained
rescheduled doctor's appt to next week, it was stressing me out that I had a cold and they don't like seeing people with colds
should I buy some nice fresh food that I can look forward or do a small walk at beach
I think food, I can do beach tomorrow and have nice food tomorrow
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 115d
We have a nice sunny week ahead so the beach can wait. Hope you feel better soon ❤️
Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 115d
I think so too
not well enough for errands, just a short walk in sun will be nice

Why does the police helicopter make so much noise when all the other helicopters fly so quietly?
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 7 pts · 115d
They have special flight feathers that make noise to alert the other helicopters of prey
Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 115d
they fly lower and have a bigger engine
SituationCake@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 115d
Can someone please lend some motivation to me. Or recommend where to purchase or forage. Tank is empty today.

Yay! My package of weird minifig parts finally arrived. Stormtroopers making balloon dogs for squirrels are go.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 114d
I top off aliXP orders with minifigs for DnD.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 114d
They sell them at Big W now which I never expected to happen but not sure how the price compares

Thank you, though I'm talking about Lego in this case. I do have a handful of Shadowrun figs I'll probably never finish 😺
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 114d
I never finished mine either. I enjoyed painting them but disliked the building part and didn’t want to actually play (Warhammer)

It gets weirder. ALT+TAB works on the admin account on my PC but not my user account I do everything in.
Taleya@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 114d
not tabbing or not showing all windows?
they fucked with it on win 11 now it's a "multitasking" option in fucking settings. Probably clashed with a GPO if admin can run it but not user.

seems there is a new covid variant on the loose, explains all the cardiac symptoms people are getting 😠
I suspected it when I had palpitations and worse symptoms at night
I am going to rest some more.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 114d
Oh no, take care of yourself :(
I don’t think I’ve had Covid to my knowledge but it sounds absolutely nasty
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 114d
I slept most of today. My stomach hurt so much I wasn’t able to eat and only managed a few sips of lemonade to take Panadol.
I’m trying a few dry crackers now and maybe some heavily diluted Ensure
tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 114d
Take it easy. Is it stomach problems as well or just feels?
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 114d
I have persistent longstanding abdominal pain with no apparent cause in combination with known medical issues around digestion, and it really affects my life/being able to eat.

Yeah, it sucks. I’ve gone through almost all the options in the public system and can’t really afford to go private
