Vaccinations aren’t on the PBS, getting hep a/b and whooping cough. $110ish.
Get the cough one! I didn’t know the one you get as a kid wears off. Very unpleasant lesson.
Same. Misery for months. Not sure if throwing up buckets of frothy sputum for a week or 2 months of cough tickle was worse.
I had six months of cough until you vomit. And my gag reflex has never recovered. Have trouble eating yoghurt!
Sounds like a good investment. Would cost you more to treat either them.
very worthwhile to get these
I’m doing an open day trial at a co-working space today as I seriously need to get out of the house at least one day during the week, full time WFH gets super monotonous and negatively affects my mood. As sad as this sounds, I was excited today to get dressed up and leave my house on a work day. The office I’m at is new and super nice, if a bit loud. It’s nice to be around people during work time but nobody doing the trial (I think we’re all sitting in the same area) is talking to one another? I’m not sure it’s worth paying to use a co-working space where I just keep to myself, I can do that at home for free. I need to suss whether the place organises networking opportunities for members to mix, to make a membership worth it.
I like working at home, but only the boringest bits of my job can be done there. Te good stuff requires being on site. Unfortunately I lost my ‘office’ to Covid rules and now have to be around other people while there. This sucks rancid donkey gnads
I also get this, I know most commentators online would rather WFH all the time and don’t get me wrong, I do love 1-2 days WFH in the week - but every single day would drive me to depression (and has done so). Not necessarily because I have no friends/life outside of work but because I like my work to feel like I’m not operating like a slave in solitary confinement all the time (worse yet having that dungeon of confinement be a permanent fixture of my home). I’m really glad I have at least 2-3 work days involving positive colleague interactions that take me out of my headspace
I totally get it. I come in to the office every day to help my mental health
But how do you have your daily afternoon siesta?
There’s phone booth pods, sound proofed, good for snooze
Ha we have those here too, we call them screaming booths.
I do that while working

Arborist consult done and trees severely haircut. Now for the slab repair dude.
on a related note, if anyone wants pear wood or apple wood for smoking, HMU. You will need to dry it yourself.
Also carving spoons. What general area would we need to collect from?
Moorabbin area
apple and pear make beautiful inlay for marquetry and turning and is quite rare
so maybe put it on FB for woodworkers 👍
Funny video time: The first person to make a podcast
And associated rant:
I fucking despise podcast bros. Every random person does not need their own podcast! They almost all seem to go something like this:
P1: “So, get this right, I was at the shops the other day…”
P2: “yeah?”
P1: “and this weird girl at the counter with purple hair did the dumbest thing”
P2: “Damn bro, what did she do”
P1: “Yeah so I go up to her yeah”
P2: “for real?”
P1: “and get this right, so I say to her ‘I want a pack of whatever smokes are popular at the moment love’”
P2: “damn what did she say”
P1: "she said ‘oh well I’ll just need to see some ID first’
P2: “DAYUUUUUM”
P1: “And I’m like ‘are you stupid? I’m clearly over 16’, yeah?”
P2: “Damn exactly”
P1: “And the stupid cow had the audacity to say back ‘Uhhh you have to be over 18 to buy smokes here dude’”
P2: “DAYUUUUUM THATS CRAZY BRO”
P1: “anyway it just got me thinking y’know, this is why women shouldn’t be allowed to vote or leave the house… All they ever do is make bad assumptions and correct me about things she knows nothing about”
P2: “Yeah bro for real”It’s become a pathetic game to see who can say the most out of pocket stuff the fastest. And if that’s not what they’re doing, they just start commenting on things that they actually don’t understand. It’s ridiculous. I don’t really watch YouTube shorts anymore, but on the odd occasion I do, they’re everywhere. I hit the dislike button and scroll as fast as I possibly can. I don’t stop to argue with them, or watch it on a loop trying to pick my jaw up off the floor, I try and move on as fast as humanly possible, but they always fucking come back
Tasks on my list of fixing up stuff continue to be ticked off. :)
Good night everyone.
Night mega goon
The Void has discovered that he is actually athletic enough to get to the top of the fridge. The house parkour range has been noisily expanded.
Come over for a parkour play date.
I really want to do one of those whole room cat runs at picture rail level, with the steps and stuff.
Nice little weekend project for you
After the whole buy a house part…
Oh Lordy!!
Fell back asleep after waking up early for the first time in a long time. Thankfully I’ll only be like five or ten minutes late to work, coulda been a disaster
Exactly why I have 3 alarms set on two phones each, all of them snooze enabled and spread out across a 40 minute period prior to the final deadline for waking up.
New car day, yay!
Aww yiss! What is this new car?
Scored an i30n, very fun zoomy car!
My brother has one and they are a lot of fun. Set everything to comfort and the exhaust to Sport Mode and you can sound like a feral beast just driving around normally
Ooooh, good tip, thank you!
206 killer wasps?? Zoomy INDEED!! Enjoy!
Sah excited for the zips!
The powder blue colour?!
Nah, it’s white (for now).
Oooh, they have those cars at most child protection or NGO offices! They are indeed very zoomy
It was funny doing the drive up to eildon with a crazy worker in the little zipbox. Also did the great Ocean road in a Kia carnival which was funny, but it’s not as fun when it takes like 10 seconds to go past 40!
Off for a drive in the country today. Fingers crossed I can still get petrol at under 190c this afternoon when I need to fill up. I do have a lock on 180c at 7/11, so if it has a massive jump I can at least get the 25c discount. These 40c+ jumps suck.
Use petrolspy!
Got it for $1.59 last Friday in Truganina. Well, not me, but a support worker I was with. She had a 4 cents off at Ampol so decided to go to that one which was at $1.59, rather than the one down the road at $1.58, since the discount thingy should bring it down to $1.55. But then they told her they didn’t accept them at this store! Ridiculous
/Rant
I’ve seen under 170c per litre around lately, I’d be re-locking. Just used my app, found 164.9/l. When I was in NZ petrol was almost $3/l! We have it good.
Oh my word… so I have all of the flavours of shakes from https://healthyweightforlife.com.au/ and this morning I’m having “tropical banana” except I have been a little cheeky this morning and made it with milk instead of water, but still blended in some ice too.
It is legitimately a good shake. Not even ‘good for a meal replacement shake’ it’s actually good. It tastes like a Barney Banana.
next time I am bedridden with sciatica I am def doing this
It tastes like a Barney Banana.
Well I’m sold.
I’m onto the second dreading true crime video of dumb pam smart.
nothing is easy for a psycho, they always give long complicated reasons
the incredible thing about her testimony is that all the other members of the conspiracy independently confessed and it is so obvious she is just making shit up
Going to try to get part of Big Assignment done today!! Shall report back.
Can’t wait until this is all over and I can finally study my education course (that has no lectures yay)!
YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU ARE H O T T O G O!
I BELIEVE IN YOUUUUUU 💜💜💜
Is the average teenage population really have a lack of respect?
Appointment booked for 7.30pm last night. Quick c++ basics lesson and homework help as a favour for my wife’s classmate’s kid. I never used c++ by trade so I spent some time getting familiar with it, and how to play Farkle.
7.30pm comes and the 17yo just bails and says they’re having dinner, no apology. Wife and I were like, fuck it, dumped the appointment and went to sleep at 8pm.
Sent another message this morning reminding them to be there or cancel 4hr before, some notes and a reminder that they don’t have enough time now, and don’t chicken out. Straight up says they promise, no greetings.
You won’t have manners if they are not taught to you.
I was traumatised to the point of enforcing them lol.
“The beatings will continue until
moralemanners improve”
Lack of consequences is also part of it.
If they got charged for not cancelling in time they’ll learn real fast.
Sent another message this morning reminding them to be there or cancel 4hr before, some notes and a reminder that they don’t have enough time now, and don’t chicken out. Straight up says they promise, no greetings.
Nope. Message 'em back and say “Sorry no longer able to assist you”. If they ask why just be blunt “Mate, you were disrespectful as heck, I was helping you as a favor, if your gonna be rude then I dont have to do shit”
This is the way.
As the owner of a teenager, I second this
They did go through a few years of covid that probably fucked them up in ways like this. You could let them know their tone seem unappreciative of being given a tutoring favour. Mind you, I’d’ve thought there was enough online about learning C++ in a self directed manner so maybe the kid just isn’t interested. Don’t measure all 17yo’s by Baku’s level of maturity.
How do we even know Baku is actually 17 🤔 lol but yeah some teens are just… Something else. I think most teens are like normal and respectful, they just test boundaries, it’s what growing up is about lol
I didn’t directly use Baku as a reference.
But I did have Overwatch friend, so mature I thought they were 25, until they mentioned they suddenly mentioned that they were 15 at the time. So that was the baseline I had since then.
I want whatever drugs the BoM is on. Supposed to be 20C tonight? Going up to 23? In what universe…
Jane said it will be 26c tomorrow.
And I’ll also win tattslotto. Good news all around!
Dear The BoM,
I hope this message finds you well, although I’m beginning to wonder if perhaps you’ve recently indulged in some rather… creative forecasting methods, shall we say? Crack cocaine, maybe? No judgement, but your prediction that it will be 23°C overnight has left me scratching my head. It’s currently 17.5°C, raining, and we have winds fast enough to launch my rubbish bins into another suburb. A balmy 23°C just seems, well, ambitious.
Speaking of ambition, you promised us a delightful 27°C tomorrow, which I was frankly looking forward to. But now, out of nowhere, 23°C is all we get? What happened to our summer dreams? Was the 27°C forecast just a fleeting fantasy?
I trust you’ll look into this sudden shift, and kindly consider laying off whatever inspired such optimistic figures. I’ll be sure to hold on tight to my umbrella and hopes in the meantime.
Sincerely,
BakuCurrently 14 here. With a forecast overnight low of 17 and back up to 23 at midnight. Something’s not adding up.
I got a good laugh out of this. I too am sad for the revision down from 27.
Glad it gave you a chuckle, even if it is truly a sad state of spring :(
Wow. Thats stuffed up and do weird. I really hope it doesn’t up like it says!
Ohh that only means one thing in early spring ; WIND. GIANT HAYFEVER NORTH WIND
Do NOT want
GIANT HAYFEVER NORTH WIND
Already there bby with a blocked nose and watery eyes 👌
I’ve been snorting nasonex in preparation for just this eventuality. I might hang out next to the air filter as well.
