International Day of Happiness 🤣
International Day of Happiness 🤣
SituationCake, Well that was a rapid transition to Autumn. Might have to swap to winter doona next time I do the sheets.
Baku, This is the life

I’m in the bed under a shit ton of blankets with far too many pillows watching some gronk get arrested
CEOofmyhouse56, If you’re in Adelaide long enough you’ll see it happen in real life!
Baku, I think I’ve seen it happen enough in Melbourne to last a lifetime
Gibsonisafluffybutt, I spent 6 years in Adelaide and I have to say, the first 2 or 3 weren’t too bad. Then the monotony set in.
Gibsonisafluffybutt, Finally got some musical inspiration back!!! It’s been over 3 months since I’ve written anything. Fuck it feels good!
Dalek_Thal, To briefly bitch:
What the fuck is the point of paying for delivery if it’s going to end up at a storage facility that’s only open during office hours.
Fuck off Team Global Express and JB Hi-Fi. Not worth the $15 extra I paid for delivery. Was already having a really shite day.
Cendana, Exterminate.
Dalek_Thal, Haha, I appreciate that mate, actually made my day a little bit
just_kitten, Dear lord today was inteeeense but really good progress and feeling so ecstatic that I can blast through a lot in two days and then… Pack it up and put it away until next week. Realistically this position probably needs 3 days a week but I’m so glad it won’t ever be full time - so I have much more manageable expectations. No need to take any of it home, no need to feel fully invested in it. Go in, punch out what’s needed, maybe make some process improvements, go home. And SUCH a drastic difference in team and management support compared to my old job! Now to follow up on some leads for casual work on the other three days…
I seriously need to figure out a budget for a car though, getting there and back by PT let alone bike is a nightmare, 500x easier by car.
imoldgreeeg, So good to hear it’s going well!!
bacon, wow sugar soap really works
Thornburywitch, Hits the sweet spot.
RustyRaven, I have just realised my car is now 18 years old. Does that mean it is eligible to get its own driver’s license and become a self-driving car?
Seagoon_, There was a young guy asleep out on the entrance to my building. I went in to get some money for him and when I got back he was gone, his blankets and , weirdly, a bag with half a doz jars of expensive honey are left behind.
It’s strange and sad.
StudChud, Have to get up really fkn early tomorrow, to start my trial shift at 8am.
I have to catch the tram at approx 6.20am. 😱 least it’s only 4 hours and not a full day lol.
If they accept me, I’ll be asking for Arvo shifts for sure.
Seagoon_, Good luck.
Bottom_racer, Just threw two couches out at the tip. No one wanted them :( tried to donate but no go.
Have to say everyone there was a middle aged bloke taking all their aggression out on throwing inanimate objects into the pit was hilarious.
For me it was the end of an era. The amount of times I parked my arse on those things… ate, spilled food, wine, all the movies, the discussions had good and bad, … almost had me teary.
RIP two couches :( I will never forget you.
CEOofmyhouse56, Farewell dear couches 🍺
Baku, Holy shit these rooms are fancy. Bloody hell I was expecting something like when I went to Sydney (old hotel with communal bathroom type situation) but nah I may as well be in crown at this point
useless_modern_god, Bonus!
Electronic_Owl, Where are you staying? We had two nights at Millar Apartments on Hindley when we arrived last Tuesday, pretty fancy too. If you want some tourist recs both in and out of the city let me know :)
Baku, I’m staying at some place called the ridge or something. Super nice rooms, but it’s on the outskirts of the city (not Adelaide as a whole, just the City area) and only accesible by buses. Also pretty shitty walking infrastructure out here, but our conference is at the showgrounds so it’s just a 10 min walk
Yes please, I’d love some touristy reccos! Only thing is we don’t have a car and are flying, so stuff outside Adelaide or even somewhere without a good bus connection isn’t really doable. Also the conference is 9-4 everyday so daytime stuff probably isn’t doable wither unfortunately
Gibsonisafluffybutt, Changing my sleep cycle for the new job. Damn you circadian rhythm and making me feel like shit 😔
SpinMeAround, Was lucky enough to get the first place we applied for (and I know we are very, very lucky in that regard!!), but now begins the moving process which I hate so much. This will be my 8th move in 12 years and I haven’t learned to stress less during it. Coupled with this being the busiest time of year at work, I might just be a total idiot. But the place is cute and I’m excited!
Thornburywitch, Just looked at tonight’s low temp - and for the next week. Time to put the doona back on the bed after summer I think.

Cloudy day in Adelaide (this was taken out the plane window)

Electronic_Owl, Can confirm, it’s bloody windy here too, quite chilly compared to the previous week’s 30c+ days.
Baku, It was a bit cloudy when we left Melbourne, but no clouds at all after we crossed about Melton, then heaps of clouds again in Adelaide
Catfish, Look out, look out
It’s a flying baku
Beware below or he might…,
