Well the meeting wasn't too bad. Still got blamed for the inadequacy of the project team, but the heat was lower than expected thankfully ❀️

Edit: Just got a call for another job that pays 1/3rd more. Fuck it let's see what happens.

That project team that you didnt even set up or have any control over? and thats been long established since before you joined? Classic management.

Bro rocked up last night finally to 'see' mum.

Just sat there and spoke about himself for 30mins.

Cunt. At least the old man is seeing him for who he really is now.

Pretty obvious won't be getting much help from bro.

Anyway so I've left the kitchen with a bit of a mess and I need to see what happens (I usually clean up). Pretty much testing severity / independence. I'm hoping I'll get a serve because that means she can see it, she can do it, how well she does it and mood which will be a good indication for steps that follow (for now). Low risk easy test.

Man it sounds like you're having a fucking rough time right now.

Try to find a little time for yourself just to rest if you can.

I hope everything works out OK with your mum ❀️

Open mic is tomorrow at 9pm if anyone wants to come have a drink :)

Edit: I'm sorry I'm going to cancel. I've been dealing with this stomach bug all week and it's just gotten worse and worse.

Id rather not go, than give a lacklustre performance :(

ffs I have been banned for 3 days from one of the fossil reddits ..lol. Some nonce posts a picture of a blue rock he got from Blue Rock Beach and asks if it's a fossil.

It's a blue rock.

Good start to the day, Marketplace buyer showed up & was very friendly. I have a couple more that will hopefully show up today too - I'll have to convert all my cash to proper digital money soon! πŸ’° πŸ’° πŸ’°

I'm really hoping some more cupboards sell soon, I'd like to be able to use my carport again. If any are remaining after this weekend I think I'll put them up free on the Buy Nothing group.

Little whiteboard fell of the wall at 3am and frightened the bejesus out of me.

Broken sleep. 😠

Waking up to the sound of rain, the rubbish truck and birds chirping.

What could be more Australian?

Oh and a fender bender at the top of my court. No one hurt but definitely both drivers were at fault.

is there a stomach bug going around? Kid got sent home with the shits yesterday but was in great spirits and wasnt on a hold so went back today and seems fine. Meanwhile I've got this feeling at the top of my stomach a bit like i wanna spew, but not quite? Had it for 3 days now, and it just comes and goes. not actual digestive changes however, its a bit weird. edit: feels like there is a rock at the top of my stomach.

Someone might take the big couch off me today. Please turn up this evening for the love of God. It would be such a relief.

Left over beef ragu pasta for lunch and I am so excited. Hurry up, 1:30pm.

Also wondering at what point I'll snap and stop making sensible decisions and run away to Europe for a month.

Clients asking me if I can do their work for cheaper. No! I give you a fair price right up, this isn't a negotiation. Yet I feel the need to say, yes of course I can do it cheaper. Then I come across as a pushover and the next time I do work for them, they'll ask for cheaper again.

It's literally raining here and it's not on the radar. πŸ«₯

It is now raining harder.

What's everyone's favourite dessert?

If it's cake I'd say chocolate for me or black forest as long as it doesn't have cheese in it.

I also like making a bowl of jelly with fruits in it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Tiramisu or black forest cake or chocolate mousse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Kids size callipo, pineapple and raspberry flavour.

Black forest as long as it doesn't have cheese in it?

Let me reread that.

Ohhh, I see what you meant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Sorry. Like a layer of cheese cake.

I very much dislike cheesecake.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Tiramisu hands downnnnn
