    Shout out to the legend trying to intimidate me in his new Audi this morning. Bruh I’m in a shitbox hatchback missing more paint than I have emotional issues, you really think I’m scared of you hitting my car? Its 6am, windy AF and I’m doing the limit. The threat of you scratching your +100k car against my 7k (If that!) car aint the threat you think it is.

      Hey now, you don’t how stressful his high powered and important life is. Do you know how expensive Audis are and how much bullshit one hast to put up with to afford one??

      Next time, get out of his (yeah that’s right…HIS) lane and carry on with your lowly non-Audi-owning life.

        Bro is game even driving it around my suburb. I mean its not fankston, but we’ve got more commodores with exhausts cut off than we do BMWs. Dunno whos worse, the teens fanging it or the soccer mums in huge SUVs they never quite mastered.

          Similar mix to my hood. Done up cars drive by either young european dudes OR european dudes my age that haven’t grown up yet. SUVs driven by people who can’t drive. Mercs, BMWs and Porsche Cayannes all over…again aggressive and clueless.

          The new breed seem to the Rovers. Seeing heaps of them around for some reason.

    Good Lord, this headache is so painful. Paracetamol doesn’t touch it, waiting for my partner to come back with some ibuprofen.

    Stupid motherfucking teeth grinding. My whole head is throbbing 💀

      you can get ibuprofen + paracetamol tablets now, and paracetamol + caffeine.

      guessing the migraine havers are in power now lol

        Paracetamol doesn’t really affect me, after I tried to off myself with it. I take one, if I have nothing else, but it’s mostly for the placebo affect and I tend to avoid it anyway.

        Ibuprofen has helped though!

          Fair enough, you should state what the trigger is for though, otherwise it’s no warning!

      Ugh I’m so guilty of this too. I had a filling that hurt a little bit, and for some reason, whenever there’s any pain in my teeth, my immediate subconscious instinct is to bite down on the teeth that are hurting

      Hugs and hope the ibuprofen helps, and your head feels better soon. I ran out of Nurofen, and swallowable paracetamol, so I’ve been using the aldi “hedanol” recently, which starts dissolving as soon as it touches the sweat and oils in my hand 😐

    Just took Sammi for her ultrasound - poor love hadn’t been herself all yesterday to the point where I phoned the vet again - they suggested admitted her overnight but there wouldn’t have been anyone there so I decided to keep her home. Wise choice - the wind woke us both up at 3 and she was straight off with the snuggles and purrs and this morning she was demanding breakfast - unfortunately I couldn’t give her it since it’s a fasting procedure.
    Now having a coffee and cake in Mentone while I wait for the school traffic to clear.

      I was convinced I was gonna walk out to find the pergola gone. It was built by an idiot before we brought the dump so its not exactly structurally sound.

    Well… it’s in. The assignment is in - but I feel so thoroughly muted about it because it turns out my supervisor had to go through what I’d written with a lot of red ink pixels and rewrite a chunk of it. He wasn’t at all trying to put me down, if anything just help me so I’d get this across the line, but I feel like I have such a long, long, long way to go and I might have bitten off more than I can chew. I really feel quite low about how limited my brain capacity is compared to 5 years ago. Would love to have some kind of win this week to feel better about myself :(

      As counter-intuitive as it sounds having a supervisor being that interested in laying down a lot of red… is a win :)

        I agree, it’s a win.

        two things are worse than having someone help edit

        someone who gives praise and does nothing when it really does need help

        someone who puts down for no reason when the work is perfectly fine

        but i get it, it’s a bit of an ego bruise

        hugs

        For sure, I have been very lucky to have a supportive mentor, I just feel like I’ve failed him (and myself) a bit - but better not to dwell on it, onward we go, even if the end result isn’t really ground breaking or entirely my idea, I’ll have learned something from it I hope.

        I really was hoping to go visit my aunt at the end of the month for a break + TLC but it seems like she might have other plans (lots going on in her life as well). I might head to my hidey hole in NSW if she isn’t available. I really would like to unplug for a bit

    A person with the surname ‘Hands’ logged a ticket today saying ‘Could you please assist me with [blahblahblah]’ and I feel like she missed the greatest opportunity.

    Outcome of the ultrasound with Sammi - no obvious tumours or obstruction. Enlarged lymph nodes in her stomach, so they want to proceed with the other ultrasound and take some samples. Meanwhile she’s home alert and hungry.
    In other news there was a three vehicle stack in the middle of Main Street Mordialloc on the way home. Hopefully it’s cleared by now…

    Got to my early morning grocery delivery before the birds this morning. It was out there for 15 minutes so they must have been busy

      I got one of those mealy box things denigrated in the 12am-8am slot, once. It was 11:30 and still hadn’t been put on their truck, so I figured it was gonna be more of a 5/6am delivery and went to sleep. Then at 7 I woke up, and saw a text from 12:23 telling me it had been delivered 😟

      Luckily the ice block kept out cool enough I wasn’t too worried, but I’m never making that mistake again!

        The gel stuff they use in those deliveries stays cold for a really long time. They’re all enclosed as well so you’ll get no birds in there

    I have a meeting about the conclusion of my performance agreement at work tomorrow.

    It’s at 4pm on the last day of the pay cycle so I’m preparing myself for the worst
