It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.
Feeling a bit down about work today. It’s the end of a very stressful week and I hate that every question I’ve been asked this morning I’ve had to do a “gimmie a minute to find the answer” instead of knowing off the top of my head.
Okay, typing it out makes it sound silly, but it’s just a crappy feeling. I have too much responsibility, anxiety and a heaving dose of imposter syndrome this week.

Alright, i’m gonna say what you know but might need to hear: Nup. If they trust you enough to give you all the responsibility they wouldn’t do it if you were an idiot or not up to the task. Companies are dumb, but they wont expose themselves to THAT level or risk.
Deep breath, take a moment, get a coffee or a tea, spend 30 seconds in some fresh air and sun shine and you’ll feel heaps better I promise.
Fun Centrelink discovery: Disability Employment Services providers have limits on what compulsory activities they can put on your job plan, so they might put the meetings as voluntary. The issue? The meetings are always mandatory according to Centrelink. The job plan doesn’t actually matter and even if you do what they say you have to do, they can then have you cut off. Great system love it.
In better news: I’m no longer required to interact with them, and instead need to continue seeking volunteer work. Vastly less bad.
Ok but you’ll have to give me your details. Name, phone number, address, email, your mother’s maiden, first dog you owned. What exactly is wrong with it again? I’ll get my supervisor.
My kid gets into some of the franchises, and right now it’s Star Wars so $$$$. We keep all the instructions and over the years have accumulated a giant bag and a few organisers of bits. Free play is great fun, put the bag on the table and we’ll waste a day building all sorts of stuff. We have sone of his favourites on display but change them up often.
When I was a kid I got no new lego, just a giant denim bag with all sorts of pieces inherited from brothers and various cousins 8-12 years older than me. A good chunk of the instructions were gone too. So in those pre-internet days I just happily built whatever I wanted and figured the very basics of random parts from some meccano set to make a basic steerable car and some kind of winding contraption.
Sooo addictive. You might be interested to know that Jecka (similar principle but built differently) have a Jack Russell model or two. Yes, I’ve been sucked in but I haven’t built it yet!
I’ve just pulled the box out of the cupboard. Ours is a small too. The connecting pins are… quite small. Like 8mm small. Designed for young eyes small. At least they’re white though.
There should be a Lego library where you can borrow a set, build it, then return it. They’d sanitise it between builds. There’d be a fee if you return it without deconstructing it.
I say this because I like putting them together but I don’t want to display ugly Lego on my shelves. I’m not leaning that hard into the 40+ year old single male stereotype and I just think they look bad in general.
I ain’t gonna display them. It’s not even the real lego. I just like pulling shit apart and putting it back together so Lego kind of scratches that itch.
I am all about a standing desk and a shop stool. I spent as little money as possible - screwed leg extensions to a hard rubbish desk and use a hard rubbish stool.
I have the Bathurst chair from Officeworks. It’s categorised as a gaming chair, but it’s comfy and supportive for general use. For $168 I think it’s as good as the $400+chairs. If you have an Officeworks near you it’s worth just going in and trying some of the display models.
Those Bathurst chairs have been popular with guitarists because the arms fold all the way up. I know because it’s why I bought one and I’ve seen them in the background of Marketplace listings.
Decent chairs but the pleather does die fast. I bought a Steelcase Leap and it has been great, but budget could be an issue there
I wouldn’t mind something like that but with fabric. I hate pleather. Also why are so many of these chairs made for giants? I thought maybe the Typhoon Viper Fabric one for $100 more would be nice to try, but it’s recommended for users nearly 20cm taller than I am.
