I packed clothing away when winter came around and now I can’t find my other pairs of trackies. Moral of the story, don’t tidy up or you’ll lose your pants

Been sick all this week. I should have taken more than one day off but there are meetings I want to get out of the way. My sense of taste hasn't been the best so I think I'll do a COVID test and if it comes back positive I'll take the rest of the week off
My pikag was going from tullamarine to Essendon fields, but then ended up in Dandenong South. That always seems to happen. Every time I've seen a parcel go from melb airport to Essendon airport, it always goes via Dandenong South for.... Reasons
I also did an in transit redirection thingo to a random post office in the south east just for the fun of it, and tulla seems to be their only facility that applies the labels. So it will probably look something like Melbourne airport > dandy south > Essendon fields > Melbourne airport > held for redirection > Dandenong South > Essendon fields > cranbourne
meanwhile I have one which was shipped yesterday from somewhere over the east side, I forget where exactly, went through Tullamarine last night and should be arriving at my front door of my parents place out in Melton any moment now (status is onboard for delivery as of 30 minutes ago)
sometimes they just get it right

Mines on there too. Let's see who gets theirs first.
Ps not weed. Passport

Had a stuffy nose last night, couldn’t sleep so put an extra pillow to keep head a bit elevated, and then woke up with sore neck. The irony of treatment for one ailment causing another.
lovely morning out there, the clouds are tinged with red and purple and the birds are chirping 😊

I got an email from the regional manager in response to the complaint that I lodged last night. He wants to organise to meet with me tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm not available on Fridays so I'll have to meet him next week.
I'm not super keen about meeting people in person or discussing things over the phone, to be honest. Sort of get that way when people do that and promise the world and then don't follow through with it. Plus I feel like I am able to better articulate my points through email, but I seem to be in a very exclusive club with that.
I'll probably have to meet him in person, but I'll try and organise for someone else who's on my side to come so I have another advocate and a witness in case he tries to get out of whatever promises he makes. But then again I did that when I had a meeting with the former acting regional manager and he still refused to uphold his end of the agreement, so maybe it's all pointless
I'm in that club as well. Let him know while it's okay to meet face to face, you'd like to be able to send him an email prior to the meeting with your points laid out and ask that he sends you a follow up email after the meeting with what was discussed. Heck, write him one afterwards with what was discussed and get your advocate to read over it.
I'd be replying with a polite "I'd prefer to have this conversation in writing thanks".
Seconding Spin. Written or recorded. Don’t trust verbal anything
If they push you into a discussion by yourself it’s a good idea to get anything said in writing so they can’t lie and bs later. Do not talk to them on the phone.
Also great to have someone with more power present or bcc’ed in, good idea

Sky angry. Reminds me of old paintings of ships at sea during a storm.
got a giant to do list, thinking I can spread it out over two days
Fuck this mortgage person! If you want all new paperwork when July arrives just fucking say wait. Doing everything twice is Brain garbage.
