Sometimes I ask myself why I write stupid poetry because it sounds lame and stupid, and then I read the lyrics to some popular songs and realise my writing is perfectly fine.
-
Yeah, if you were curious what a 40yo white man thinks about it/you: you're cool and it's cool. I read them all.
-
Aw thank you! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :D
-
-
your pomes are really good
they are real and speak from the heart 🤗
-
Thank you _ that means a lot! 💜

I fucked it up. There were 4 of them in the interview. COO, CEO, general manager and HR person.
I stumbled heaps. I'm annoyed at myself but it is what it is. I'll find something eventually.
😔
-
There's every chance that you didn't do as badly as you thought but I won't jump to conclusions. Either way, you'll find something, you've found so many jobs in the past and made HUGE strides in your life that others wouldn't be able to grasp. Nobody can take that away from ya
-
That's really, really kind of you. It cheered me up 🙂 I forget sometimes about how I used to live and what life is like now.
Thank you ❤️
-
-
It'll be alright, you will find something! You're a talented and smart dude, you'll find something that fits you.
Don't stress it, try and enjoy the sun and treat yourself!! 💕
-
Thanks so much ❤️ I'm just trying to shrug it off and move forwards.
Hope you have a great weekend 🥳

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.
-
Not to mention when you show up and they tell you your provider is on leave/in a meeting/at another site today.
-
That's only happened to me once. Showed up, waiting twenty minutes, no one even told me until an hour later when they called to say he was out sick.
He is almost always late though.

Told the wife “you know, I think they’re lying to you” “who?” “Square enix. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the FINAL fantasy, I bet there will be another one!”. I can’t say how satisfying the groan and look on her face was.
-
You have ascended the dad joke mountain!

Alright, off I go! Fingers crossed!

Just filled out, scanned and sent off the current batch of documents to the conveyancer.
All this adulting...

If I get this new job, I'm moving closer to civilisation. I've had enough of the outer suburbs. More than enough.
Enjoy your day everyone ❤️

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.
-
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.
-
Gimme a minute to find the answer. No. I'll get back to you is the correct response.
-
Gimme a minute to find the answer over pulling something out your arse is the mark of a quality person

Last 30 minutes before my week off starts.
Really struggling to disengage right now. I'm sure a few beers will help

Beers from your peers to bring on the cheers. New job on the horizon maybe to lift your spirits even higher?

-
Beers been had. Time off is feeling better already
-
Can’t WAIT to crack a gin! Stupid soda water cooling down too slowly.
-
Just drink it on the rocks!!
Or neat. The way it was intended
-
enjoy it while it lasts
Not the gin, the soda water.

Omg. How fun is Lego? Good for the soul. Not good for the eyes.
-
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.
-
That's a good idea.
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.
-
Pull it apart. Keep the instructions but use the bits for free play.
-
Loaning kits of anything involves counting all the pieces when they come back. Very expensive in staff time.

Listening to some sales calls today. I get to be the reason why calls are monitored for training purposes
-
I got Melbcat's special antibiotics. They're so bitter that she walked around the house drooling and foaming and seems to feel sick. Doesn't want her medicated dinner. :( This is going to be a fun ten days.
I feel snowed under by a lot of things lately
-
Ok, this is awesome, my "boss" that I work with has given me permission put on the NZ vs AUS test match while I'm working at my desk.
My day has gotten so much less boring now.
-
I've finally been able to disrespect one of those stupid cattle gate things at Coles. Apparently the robot didn't like that after paying I put my groceries in my backpack. So I walked through them anyway. It started screaming the song of its people ("BE-BE-BE-BE-BE-BE-BEEP"), but that's not my problem. I paid for my damn drink, I don't really care if a robot gets upset about it
Nobody really cared, although the fact my skin is about the same colour as their logo probably helped 🤷🏼
-
I'm waiting for the day I can ram my trolley into those gates just for fun. Whoops I didnt notice they had closed.
-
Lol I hope the damn thing snaps in half. Luckily for my destructive side, they don't instantly open by themselves. They make you stand there waiting for it to detect you as a person most of the time, so without it even accusing you of thievery you still get an opportunity to ram it
I'm a bit too scared to go that hard on them, Coles deffo strikes me as the sort of company to somehow get cops to track you don't then try to sue you for the cost of the barrier (+ a 75% commission to the bosses mates who install them), so I think my game plan is to just gently but firmly nudge
-
If you ram them, they open. Mall security might have an issue but I just said 'Sorry, didn't notice was on the phone'.
Showed them my receipt and kept walking.
-
-
I always enjoyed ignoring the beeping of the alarms in Myers, and moved on to a casual refusal of bag checks when requested. Self empowerment is a wonderful thing 🤣
-
Pakey doesn’t have any of this shit yet. Thank god. I suspect cause they know how well it’ll go over with pakey. And it ain’t gonna stop the drugged up bogans anyway.
-
I actually sound a bit like a bogan sometimes, and when I'm wearing my outback style leather hat I look the part too. Maybe that's why nobody cares what I do

15 minutes of housework/ chores and I'm already in a lot of pain

I want to like you, Spotify DJ.. I really do.. but STOP RECOMMENDING BEYONCE ETC TO ME, YOU GOON!
Also, I started on the vodkas a couple of hours ago. Responsibly. Cheers and welcome to my birth-season: Autumn. Do you pronounce the N in Autumn? How do you even do that? Get out of here, unnecessary N!
Current afternoon tune to remind us we're not done yet: https://youtu.be/uNkF_ZpQ4eg

Cheers buddy 🍺
-
🍻

-
Its for the adjective - autumnal - not pronounced when not an adjective. The other seasons have Springlike, Summery, Wintry. Why not an N?

I have found out tonight that the man's ring tone has changed for me, from Sabotage to Beautiful by Snoop Dogg. Nawwww. When the kid rings (that's a rarity) it's Daddy Cool. When she calls me it's Bad Moon Rising.
Tell me some of your ring tones.

I love that. Shaun the sheep ♥

Mine is the theme song from Spyro the Dragon (PS1, came out in 1998) - https://youtu.be/m8MvtUW6D7w
It was the first video game I'd ever played, along with Pokemon Yellow. I was 6 haha.
The soundtrack for the game was composed by Stewart Copeland, the drummer from The Police. The whole soundtrack is a banger tbh
-
this is the first one I bought https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQlikmV-9wE

I only have 1 custom ringtone and that's for when my mum calls, which is this: https://youtu.be/tgbNymZ7vqY?si=h5gF5l2JEYCuZwsN&t=55
Otherwise my current ringtone everyone else is this https://youtu.be/ldQrapQ4d0Y?si=J6d77HSvl70hLs5L&t=22
-
Mine is the Bluey theme. It is often silent, though not even on vibrate. Instead, my watch vibrates.
Bluey theme is fun though, especially watching the parents in the office smile. Like a private joke that the youngsters don't get.
-
@Nath @CEOofmyhouse56 tempted to change mine to that, would be quite fun watching ppls reactions.
I've had the same ring tone for a very, very long time, for there has never been a better one created:
-
That would be cool. I love that theme tune.

I used to use a very deadpan recording of me saying "beep beep" for ring and "beep" for message.

Hello dearest DT. I have an 8.30 meeting at a cafe, so my day is going to start reasonably well
-
Drove my wife to South Melbourne. 25 minutes.
Drove the return trip. 55 minutes, which included 2x10 mins of continuous dead stop while the trams, cops, and us drivers in both directions all wait for a protest to roll past.
At least some of the cops seem to be in a good mood, reminding them to turn their flashy lights on and then a few moments later, playfully slammed the door of their colleague's car a few times.
-
.... But why?
-
If it has truckballs too you know the answer
-
-
How is it ONLY friday?!
-
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.

-
I believe you are only entitled to return it if it was defective or not as described.
-
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.

Out for dinner northside tonight, would take me at least an hour each way on PT vs 30 minutes driving, and I don't need to worry about sketchy people on PT home. So I've splashed on a carshare thing for a few hours tonight, still cheaper than taking cabs both ways.
I hate that I've become so car centric but it really is such a fuck trying to cross the Yarra. I just don't have the energy and patience that I had when I was younger and licenceless to spend ages on PT.
-
up early for some toast, weak coffee and pain meds
then maybe some restful sleep

Autumn starting on March 1 has always been bullshit as far as I'm concerned anywhere in Australia. Even in Melbourne (at least the last 12 years).
-
We are going to have a very warm Autumn , including the nights

any recommendations for an office chair for home? Only considerations are 1) Budget and 2) needs good support cause my back is crap.
-
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.
-
Sitting on one now, and can concur. It's not fancy but been solid for me since 2020
-
Thats what I had, yeah. love it, but they die fast.
-
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 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 need some movie comedies to watch tomorrow night because the kid's going to friend's to sleep over which means the Cookie Monster's coming to town. Please recommend. I have Foxtel, Prime, Netflix and Stan.
-
Tropic Thunder
Blazing Saddles
any movie with Rik Mayal and Ade Edmonson
-
The Broken Lizard films are generally good for a Cookie Monster visit. Super Troopers is a classic. Beerfest too but that is kinda aimed at the drinkers.
The snozzberries taste like snozzberries..
Edit: Super Troopers is on Disney+ my bad. Apparently Foxtel Now has Beerfest.

Spy is pretty fun
