    Trampoline dude wanted to go on a date. I did not. We are not talking anymore. He only wants to talk to me for romantic purposes now it seems.

      Ah yeah… I hate to say it but often no matter how clearly you communicate, hanging out with guys one on one (or in general) usually still gets taken as more and then you get blamed for ‘leading them on’ 🙄

      Makes it difficult to have cross gender friendships

      Guess his attempts fell flat.

      I was confused at first because I interpreted wrong but I don’t think it’s very romantic for you as all he wanted was a one night stand or you as a f buddy.

      Just going to say that “trampoline dude” is a really cool name. I would not object to being known as trampoline dude.

      Well, not now. But a few days ago it would have been a cool thing to be known as.

      Green jasmine tea and toast please. Also a handful of gummy vitamins to replace all the vitamins lost while I have been on pain meds for so long.

        Ugh I bought some smoked NZ king salmon yesterday as a treat and now I think I know what I’m having for lunch… scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on toast with garden chives and parsley. And a tiny smidge of homemade hot sauce

          That sounds amazing.

          Back in the Covid days when my workplace was providing meals (in an attempt to make sure we showed up at work) I had the opportunity a few times to take home uneaten smoked salmon sandwiches from lunch. I made salmon risotto for dinner, then scrambled eggs with salmon for breakfast. It was really, really good.

    The irony of me being so active in food subs. But I used to really enjoy cooking and want to pass my favourite tips and recipes on

    I have a business idea for anyone that wants to take it. I noticed Red Hat have a partner page, and their aren’t a lot of Australian based companies on there. LibreOffice also has a page about LibreOffice enterprise and LibreOffice in the cloud.

    Go through the certifications and you could have your own consultancy that sets up Linux and LibreOffice for businesses.

    It’s not a guaranteed money maker and you’d need to offer other services, but it’s nice to know there’s an option to get people off Windows. There might be demand for it with concerns around recall and the demands of Windows 11.

    Do with this what you want, I don’t have the time, skills, or network to make this viable myself.

    Just in case you’re wondering, there is a Tour de France app to look at while you’re watching…

    Years ago, someone did a live feed using Google Earth mixed with the coverage and various graphs on screen and it was the best coverage I’ve seen…

    I thought I’d check out the tax return forms just got fun but the ATO website is being smashed at the moment.

    Anyway I can’t lodge it till I get the pre fill information uploaded by various places.

    Don’t imagine I’m going to get much back this year if last year was anything to go by.

      Getting a lot back means you have overpaid during the year for some reason, if you only get a small return it means that you have had the use of that money earlier instead of giving the govt. an interest free loan.

      I should be getting a decent return this year because I paid a fair bit extra into Super, plus a bit for the rebate on health insurance premiums. Unfortunately I have some money invested in EFTs and it always takes a few months for them to put together the final statements so I can’t put in my return and get the money back until that is done. I’m looking forward to the time after I retire and I can have all my investments in a nice simple tax free super fund and not have to worry about all this tax return nonsense.

    I’m starting off the new financial year with pay day today. A bit of a tax cut and a sliver more Super. If the new EBA gets through there will be a pay rise in a couple of months. Not enough to keep up with the CPI increases of the last couple of years but it’s nice to be finally closing the gap a bit.

      I am grateful for my cat who is acting as a purry lap warmer, my dog who acts as personal trainer and motivates me to be active even in cold weather, and for my large supply of eggs as I hear they are currently a bit hard to come by.

      Gratitude update: I am now also grateful that my application for critical illness insurance has been accepted with no fuss and I will not be needing to have a blood test.

      Grateful once again for being able to take today off and having a supportive workplace. Grateful for the stability of my jobs so that even if this study thing doesn’t go the way I’d like it to, I don’t have to worry about my self worth. Grateful for my super comfy and warm alpaca wool jumper - feels like a hug.

    Dinner report part 2.

    As I wrote below bro has been in hospital and he really is poorly, no denying that, even hypochondriacs get sick. Husband’s mother was there, she’s elderly now, and she was complaining she was so tired from visiting bro in hospital everyday. It’s a 45 min drive there .

    I got 🙄 and reminded her the doctors told her to only visit every second day. She was so angry that she couldn’t play victim. I do not care, I don’t think the others did either.

    She asked if she could take food home, I gave her the scrapings off her own plate and put them in an old washed take away container. She didn’t get a carry bag either. She doesn’t get meals to take home anymore , not after her slanderous games.

    I just do. not. care.

    Taking a break from a rewatch of The Strain to watch Abigail was doubly hilarious, it’s like watching Fet get nerfed.
