    I have un-grumpied my butt with cat cuddles, some food and making loud, discordant noises in the studio.

    And everyone is now tucked in for some sleep. Goodnight ❤️

    The fluffy boi has been having testing on his kidneys, and the vet’s incidentally found a serious heart condition. Poor little chicken. More expensive tests that I can’t really afford to follow.

    I’ve just eaten almost a whole bag of Doritos and as a consequence am no longer hungry enough to have motivation to cook dinner. Maybe a toasted sandwich will do for today, with some fruit after. Healthy eating starts again tomorrow.

    Ah godammit, my food was delivered to the wrong address, the driver didn’t supply a photo like they usually do so I couldn’t go hunting for my food and didn’t answer the phone when I rang. 1 star review for you, the first time I’ve ever done that. Replacement order on the way but for crying out loud!

        They immediately replaced the order and a guy drove it from there to here like he had Satan at his heels lol. The food was delicious, the chicken super crispy and tender on the inside and the sauces were beautiful 🤩

    Tired from my labours, but finally sitting down to relax before bed. I’m rewatching Seinfeld, have needed a comfort show lately. Something I’ve watched before but enjoy watching again, requires not much concentration and is from a simpler time.

    Tell me your comfort show (if you have one).

      and I listen to old BBC radio comedies , such as the Goon Show or Hancock’s Half Hour

      Not something you’d expect, but American Dad. It’s mindless enough to semi-engage without getting too bored and while edgy it doesn’t seem to be enough to be genuinely upsetting.

      And the lack of continuity/wacky hijinks resolving back to the status quo means it doesn’t matter about what order or whether the uploader has chopped it up into many out of context chunks.

      I wouldn’t say I was a fan. In fact it’s easier to chuck on for background because I don’t care about following the show. But it’s something that’s kind of reliable to just watch when anxious or tired or flossing or gaming without worrying about closely following the plot or missing anything. It’s Comfortably Dumb.

      Family Guy tries too hard though. Kinda lame. The offensive jokes aren’t even offensive to me, they’re just lazy.

    Downpipe at the p’s fixed! Took about 2 mintues. Saved a few dollaridoos there.

    A few days ago when I was there I said 'hey I’m going to try and fix it this way". He cracked the shits 'I MAKE THE DECISIONS AROUND HERE". Dude has acute NPD but there are work arounds. So I said okay you do it. So I pissed off down the bellarine… Get a call:

    Me: How’s that pipe going Him: The pipe has fallen 10cm I can’t do it. Getting a plumber in a few weeks.

    I get back, go over today (while he’s away)… Turns out he pulled the down pipe down and it disconnected from the gutter. I chuck it back on try and recreate what he did and he must’ve been trying to climb the thing. Easy fix.

    So now I’m putting a mock invoice in his letter box:

    Call out fee: $200 Labour: $300ph x 0.033 = $10 Materials: 4cm of 100mm PVC: $0.5 Use of toilet: -$1 Stealing a glass of wine: -$9

    He will hate that. Apparently he spent an hour trying to do it.

      He may hate it but admit it, you love it.

      Dunno if you’re AFAB or not but it’s fucking spectacular when you pull this shit on a FIL as a woman XD

    Tradie next door building houses having what sounds like a meltdown and is shouting loudly. Very good atmosphere for my sister who is WFH and on the phones, and me trying to scramble to finish assignments.

    If anyone would like a pretty chill career change, get familiar with the CMS Drupal and hit up recruitment agencies to become a ‘Digital Content Specialist’.

    https://www.drupal.org/home

    It’s free and open source. You could buy some web hosting and install it through cPanel, then do enough Youtube courses to put it on your resume. All Victorian Government websites are on Drupal, and so are some Federal ones. You might be able to get a plush gig copying and pasting content from word docs to websites.

      That’s so good of you to post that.

      Used to work with Joomla, but that was aeons ago.

      Wouldn’t mind switching back to a plush gig. (Have a bit of a jack of all background that always is hard to put on paper, but easier to chat about. Might be a bit too out of the loop these days.)

        That’s where a decent recruiter can be really helpful. You talk to them and put your background in context and then they can advocate for you.

        I’ve been placed by the recruiter that got me my upcoming role a couple of times. I had a 15 minute teams call with the client and they decided to pick me off that
