Watch out World! There's a P plater on the prowl! Seriously, congrats to YL, its a big step. And I'm sure you've done your bit in helping her to adult behind the wheel.
Maybe we should send him $97-60 for an Uber home - via text message from a site in com.ru
Got one of these a while back purporting to be from my son to pay for taxi home. Given that he was in San Francisco at the time I should have leapt at the opportunity - cheapest fare home from there I've ever heard of.
Mickey is getting his annual vaccination tomorrow, before he can stay at the cattery when I'm in Perth.
Ugh. Every time I travel to Perth, I always say I don't want to stay for a long time because I hate leaving Mickey and I'm a homebody. So why did I agree to three, almost four, weeks 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
As a homebody and recent survivor of a Perth family pilgrimage, you will be tired but it won't be as bad as you think - heck you'll probably even have fun! Mickey will have enough time to make friends and get comfortable, he'll he fine.
Well that was an interesting drive. Had to navigate a set of failed traffic lights, two separate wheelie bins that had blown onto the road, and a small fallen branch. It’s windy out there, take care.
I'm switching back to my old Huawei from my Pixel because I don't want to buy a new phone just yet. The Huawei feels so much nicer and it still works fine, I only got a new phone because the usb port was getting temperamental but I've cleaned it and it's working again now.
The Huawei actually connects to the Guest Wifi at work so that's a big bonus already. Using my phone here was a headache because it's a mobile blackspot and my phone would just stop pulling data on the wifi.
Everyone stopped selling Huawei because they knew they'd be too powerful if they were allowed to continue in the west. At this point I'd gladly degooglefy my life for another one.
It doesn't work with the wifi network at work and some of the ones at home. USB port is going to shit, they chose to not connect video out to the USB port, battery hasn't been great, updates make it worse, slow on some applications (like it gets so hot and slow on balatro but this phone has been fine), and I need to get a new phone now because of the massive camera bump. It must have been my keys that smashed the glass when I fell off my bike
Awful tragedy in Porpunkah. How do people become so far gone into nutter idiotic beliefs. Hope they catch him soon. Must be frightening to be in Porpunkah tonight.
I reckon the guy will go bush, and won't be found for weeks. And it's a toss up if he will be even more mentally disturbed when he is found or will have calmed down a bit. Searching for him on foot or horseback with or without dogs is bloody dangerous if he's armed and apparently he is. And the local people/cops know this and will be keeping a very beady eye on isolated sheds and eatable livestock in distant paddocks. Never underestimate the bushcraft of nutters like this one cos they are sometimes quite impressively skilled in survival stuff. If it was me, I'd consider calling in a helicopter/drone and using thermal imaging to find him. Then the hard part would become actually catching him without getting shot.
“So, what I’ve gotten out of this is that we’re selling an unknown product to unknown customers for unknown pricing and we have no idea when or how it’s arriving?”
“Well, yes… but the vests have been ordered for the sales team.”
yay, the painting of the bedroom suite is done. Five pieces of furniture , scrubbed clean, sanded , repaired, then four coats of paint. The chair has been reupholstered, the drawer handles repainted a silver gold colour and all the drawers painted inside and lined with contact.
I love his book Collapse - How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Really really thought provoking. Wasn't so impressed with Upheaval, but still interesting.

Beep beep 🚗. SHE'S NOW A PROBATIONARY DRIVER!!!!👍
HOOOORAYYYYYY!!! Congrats to YL!!!

I'd like to take the credit but it was all her dad's doing.
I sat in the pub today and happy cried twice in the Vic roads office. That's my contribution.
Awwww.
Congraaaaaaaats!!!
Congrats you’re lucky. Mine has no interest in driving which isn’t that bad really. Just a bit surprising.
Youngies need to get out and explore while giving us oldies room to breathe.
yay 🥛☕🫖🍵💐
Congrats to YL! Has she done the obligatory maccas drive through yet?
Nah not yet. Maybe later with a friend. It's pissing down here.
Congratulations to her!
Made it to the next round!!!!!!!!!!
Well done!
this is wonderful 😊
That's great news! I hope you nail it
Had another recruiter reach out for an application I put in yesterday!
Just going to keep up the pace and hopefully something will click in place.
2nd interview at 1pm. Fingers crossed 🤞
It's great things are going so quickly for you. Lets hope the end of the month works in your favour
Thanks man. I’m on a relentless pursuit lol
🤞
Edit: ah those 3am post-poop zoomies. Mickey could put those F1 guys to shame
possum fell out tree last night , mad scramble on roof
Yo Yarrabyte call ya parents they're worried.

Interview this morning, the seek post definitely undersold the role. One guy liked me, one didn't. Let's see what happens.
Good luck!

Also remind yourself they want you to succeed. 😊
Thanks for doing the thread Seagoon.
2nd interview went ok. I was pretty nervous tbh so if it doesn’t move ahead that’s ok. But the guy did tell me what the next steps would be.
Fingers crossed but I’m still applying to other jobs of course.
Sending you heaps of good luck!!
Thank you :)
so much good luck being sent your way 🌬️🤞
Much appreciated :)
Have you tried nasal sprays?
Potentially better than a chili
Chili is more enjoyable.
For some
Good luck with. Have your tried the bowl of hot water with some Vicks and a towel over your head?
Oh dang.....even the baby balsam? I think that's low (or free from) camphor.
There's steamer liquids you can get, bit if eucalyptus (if that's okay) and other stuff that helps with congestion.
City looks so grey right now.

What didn't you like about the pixel?
I hear the screen size is tiny, and can only be one colour at a time

Goodnight all ❤️
She is so neat and tidy.
I totally misjudged my walk timing and got myself and Mr Woof very soggy.
it's certainly wild out there, the gate swung so hard in the wind it smashed a big terracotta pot near it
hey there
Insomniacs arise lol
I think I got about two hours sleep last night 😔 will see how I go at work but may end up finishing early
I got five, was up late trying to sort some computer stuff
will have a sleep in
Dude I feel for you. It fucking sucks :(
two is pretty bad
that can't be good

When is that Hunted show coming back?
“So, what I’ve gotten out of this is that we’re selling an unknown product to unknown customers for unknown pricing and we have no idea when or how it’s arriving?”
“Well, yes… but the vests have been ordered for the sales team.”
This place, I tells ya.
Hey now. Let's not dismiss the power of a snazzy vest!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9caquYqGBR8
But of course.
Perfect lol
But a vest on it's own is never going to do anything. It needs to be paired with the power of a custom pen and a printed stress ball.
Let’s not forget the water bottle with the printed logo
The Kiffness is doing a gig at Northcote Theatre on Thursday 18th Sept. Have just bought tickets. Looks like very fun night.
Thanks for the heads up!
I'll finish the painting today then it's on to sewing the curtains and clothes repairs 😊
3rd coat of paint done , it's looking good 👍

Manhunt still underway near Bright.
Debating on going into office tomorrow and having Thursday and Friday WFH.
Alternatively, WFH tomorrow and Friday, come in Thursday.
I'll decide tomorrow morning when the alarm goes off I guess.
Office tomorrow, Thursday and Friday WFH. Nod nod!
Today I am listening to Jared Diamond, Upheaval: Turning Points for Nations in Crisis
It is interesting so far. 👍The author uses 7 countries as examples on how individuals, societies and countries cope in extreme situations.
I love his book Collapse - How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Really really thought provoking. Wasn't so impressed with Upheaval, but still interesting.
I will read that one next time. 👍
Mickey's vaccination went well, uneventful. I got some dental treats for him as well, as his teeth are a bit yellow.
He's also 5.95kg, and NOT overweight or fat. The vet looked at him and was like "he's just massive for a DSH" 😂
