Massive day today. Worked non stop from 7:40 to 3:40 including a whole lot of new shit and new requirements to my job that, while making a lot of sense and genuinely good for service delivery, involve a level of mental load/energy that’s… not exactly what I signed up for. I need more training and preparation. It kind of happened so suddenly that I didn’t have time to formulate a response, and ask for reasonable accommodation/support. I’m definitely willing to give it a go and see if it improves things, but I just really didn’t need that extra burden this week 😣

Anyway… I then had to go help a friend out with some things and ended up having a long chat in the car, really was good to unload but I ended up really exhausted and emotional. Despite my pledge to cook more at home and save money I gave in and ordered the two-large-pizza-plus-garlic-bread special at my local for 37.50. I’m reminding myself that it’ll be enough for dinner tonight, brekkie tomorrow, dinner tomorrow and maybe even lunch the day after. Thankfully lunch is catered tomorrow at some training thing I gotta do. I’d really rather catch up with work but it’s mandatory training so oh well…

I’m thinking after I come back from my break I’m gonna have to ration out my energy a bit better at work in terms of in person interactions. Might need to start requesting one day from home even though I genuinely want to work away from home for the work/life separation - I’m just gonna be really exhausted with all the masking and social interaction.

StudChud,

Mickey has discovered the benefits of being inside my hoodie with me in it too.

TinyBreak,

Mrs is channel surfing and skipped past “farmer wants a wife”, when a strange thought popped into my head: good on 7 for getting some farmers laid. Working a farm is tough as shit, it’s not like you can go to the pub every other night. Country towns are often small, people couple up quick outta school. So ignoring the reality tv show aspect I suppose it’s really a net positive hey.

Gibsonisafluffybutt,

I worked on a farm when I was 19 for about 2 years. No job has ever been as hard as that was. Not even house demolitions and that is brutal.

TinyBreak,

So what I’m hearing is not only do farmers deserve some love, but it’d be pretty… intense.

wscholermann,

I really don’t care for running and I wonder how people enjoy it. It’s a lot of work for what seems like limited benefits.

I really do feel you get much more bang for your buck weight training if you had to choose between the two.

Helps me mentally more than physically. Sort of like a really exhausting mindfulness session.

TinyBreak,

I don’t mind a light jog on the treadmill if I can watch something on the iPad.

I looooove tuxedo cats. That photo perfectly encapsulates how cute yet elegant they are. Please give Miss Mimi a little bop on her precious little head from me.

StudChud,

Ah sweet Mimi!!! ☺️💜💜

StudChud,

I can hear someone singing and playing a harmonica, while a car alarm goes off.

Love Brunswick.

After a couple of years of self-imposed junk food ban I decided to stop for KFC on the way home. The electronic order board thingy had to be poked a few times before it deigned to take my order but otherwise worked well. But I noticed no one else that came in after me used them and just ordered at the counter. Was I doing the weird thing, or were they?

The wrap seemed smaller than I remember and much more cabbagey. The chips were undersalted and lacking even a hint of crunch. A bit underwhelming and I’ll be happy to abstain from fast food for another few years I think.

SituationCake,

Haven’t had KFC in many years. I remember it being rubbish and don’t imagine it’s improved. Local chicken shops are so much better, and many of them do wraps and burgers as well as the standard rotisserie chicken. And chips are always fresh cooked. They can take my money instead.

CEOofmyhouse56,

I only get wicked wings from there now. They heat up so well in the airfryer.

RustyRaven,
@RustyRaven@aussie.zone avatar

I did not know wings (wicked or not) were a thing at KFC. I am afraid my menu knowledge is limited and I just looked for a picture of something that looked vaguely familiar🤣

CEOofmyhouse56,

I wait until they are on special and buy up big. I make my own chips and potato & gravy that way they are always hot.

Catfish,
@Catfish@aussie.zone avatar

I’ll pick at Boyo’s chips but otherwise don’t touch the stuff. The abomination they call gravy is so salty you might as well suck stock cubes.

Thornburywitch,
@Thornburywitch@aussie.zone avatar

Ditto. So damned salty you can’t actually taste the ingredients. This may be a good thing …

Catfish,
@Catfish@aussie.zone avatar

If there is an ingredient in it that isn’t a Number I shall be astonished.

TinyBreak,

There was something in ozbargain today about a large snack pack and I gotta be honest I’ve never been more sold on anything in my life for under 10 bucks!

Gibsonisafluffybutt,

I’m always so utterly disappointed when I “treat myself” to some fast food. Never tasted as good as I hoped.

Nath,
@Nath@aussie.zone avatar

I forgot - hot and spicy KFC isn’t an everyday thing in Melbourne. Only available occasionally and as wings/burgers.

I almost never have KFC myself, but when I do, it’s usually hot and spicy. It’s just part of the regular menu in WA.

This is also the first time I’ve heard of any fast food chips described as “undersalted”.

Taleya,

My god this isn’t snot it’s cottage cheese

StudChud,

🤢

Taleya,

You’re grossed out? You’re grossed out? My dear boy you don’t have to try and expel it. I HAD A LITERAL NOSTRIL OVERFLOW

StudChud,

Who are you calling ‘boy’? 😂

I’m a visual thinker: you describe snot like cottage cheese, I’m going to throw up in my mouth a little bit haha

Snot is the worst though, I’m sorry your nostrils have betrayed you

Catfish,
@Catfish@aussie.zone avatar

How about pulling multi inch strings out of your eyes?

Taleya,

Oh delish.

Seagoon_,
@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

Have you been vaccinated against whooping cough? Because whooping cough is a total snot machine. The first week is the most snot you have ever seen in your life, then after that it’s coughing.

Taleya,

Yup i have. Is all juuust snot. I got hit with a rhinovirus shortly after / during a huge cleaning spree that set off a dust allergy

CEOofmyhouse56,
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

No it’s not. No it’s not. No it’s not. I eat cottage cheese so it can’t be.

Taleya,

No, it’s snot

TinyBreak,

said it before and I’ll say it again: Spotify users have better taste than apple music users (even though I AM an apple music fan). Nemo - Broke the Code, Joost - Europapa and Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim have all moved into the global daily top 50. Wonder how far apple will be behind.

Pilk,
@Pilk@aussie.zone avatar

Crazy how a certain middle eastern country’s song isn’t up there despite receiving the second highest public vote. Most suspicious televote I have EVER seen.

TinyBreak,

Sorry what was that? I couldn’t hear you over the booing from the crowd.

Yeah sus as fuck we have ‘em like 12 points. Politics aside, it was a terrible song.

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

Nemo - Broke the Code, Joost - Europapa and Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim have all moved into the global daily top 50.

Those are definitely words

Taleya,

Bit mean spirited isn’t it? They’re obviously talking about artists and songs

TinyBreak,

I don’t have an issue with it. Let’s be honest they are ridiculous names.

Seagoon_,
@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

Joost is a real name. 😬 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joost_(name)

TinyBreak,

My objection is mostly with baby lasagna. I love it! But I don’t get it, at all.

Who’s looking at the kids menu and goes “yep! Chicken nuggets and chips! Great stage name!”

Taleya,

Considering I literally follow calimari tofu party on bandcamp…no comment

TinyBreak,

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Baby Lasagna is worth a listen from a pop culture perspective.

Mittens_meow,

Tried to make an appointment with my GP. On their website, they had a notice that they were moving to private billing only. And trying to pick a date- next appointment available is 27th May.

Things are very broken (apart from me)

Llabyrinthine,
@Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone avatar

Can you move to another provider? I’ve had to do that a few times and while I still pay a gap, at least they refund on the spot.

Pilk,
@Pilk@aussie.zone avatar

Give them a ring, there are very often sooner appointments available, just not shown on the booking software.

ajsadauskas,
@ajsadauskas@aus.social avatar

@Seagoon_ Overheard in the office...

Colleague one: "As you are aware, we've decided to postpone <event> until August or September. Can you change the dates on the website please?"

Colleague two: "No, I was not aware, thanks for letting me know. When was the decision made? I'll update the website."

Colleague one: "I am very sorry, I thought you were aware."

The "Manager" strikes again.

tombruzzo,

How do you abbreviate ‘breakfast’? I’ve seen cafes offer a ‘big breaky’ which I read as break-y. Others do ‘Brekkie’ which I seem fine with. And one place I saw does ‘Breakki’ which annoys me to no end for some reason.

Force_majeure123,

I use breaky 🤷‍♂️

bacon,

Wrong.

Force_majeure123,

I just get to break- and decide if I wanna commit to 1 or 4 more letters

Thornburywitch,
@Thornburywitch@aussie.zone avatar

As in Achy Breaky Heart? If so, then thou shalt be cast into the outer darkness and forced to listen to crap 80s and 90s pop sleaze until you reform your way of life, and (possibly) accept Jesus into your heart. I’m not fussed about the last bit. If it happens, it happens.

Taleya,

Brekkie. Using a y instead of ie just rubs wrong (like ozzy instead of aussie)

bacon,

Yes.

mysticgreg,
@mysticgreg@aussie.zone avatar

And NEVER Breakki. That’s just wrong.

Fucking neighbour is doing my head in. This is the guy that cuts his lawn with hand shears and also known to sweep leaves around the block 300+m away.

This morning got yelled at for not cleaning up leaves on my side of the boundary. It’s fukin autumn find a new less stressful hobby.

Then he apologises later saying I caught him at a bad time.

Dude seriously has his moments and I respect that but not leaves… in… autumn.

SituationCake,

People like that should just move into an apartment. I don’t understand why people buy a house, then hate the trees, put concrete and paving from edge to edge of the block or put artificial grass. If you don’t want a garden there’s better housing options where you don’t have to get furious if a neighbours leaf blows into your yard.

Duenan,
@Duenan@aussie.zone avatar

Ok I think I’m tired.

I nearly fell into a toilet.

It’s a sign.
