So first week is over!!!
Feel really good about having a weekend, now that I'm actually working.
No red flags as yet, can start working from home next week. Nothing much else to really report. So far so good!!!
You are an actual star 💜💜💜
Being an observer to your life has been a cool journey.
All the best brother 😁 to you and your cat.
Thanks man, I really appreciate you saying that 😊 It's been a hell of a ride so far lol
Woohoo congrats!!!!!
I've survived the week, online classes until 6.30pm tonight.
Glad I've done this for myself.
Well done ❤️ You know what time it is? Breach wanderers time lol
Not for another hour 😭 but I have got Mirely up to level 10, and defeated the boss for the Fetid Coast quest. Now I have one to do with White flame Golems and one for Depth Level 4!
I bought the butterfly knight, but I haven't played them yet. Had to buy the one that repped my NB status haha! Ended up with all the skins for Mirely because she's level 10 and deserves it lol
Thank you for getting me into this game, it's such a blast!!! 💜 You're a gem, Gibs!
Cheers Couch Athletes. 🍻 Let the games begin!🇦🇺🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🇦🇺
Cheers!
I’m not embedded on the couch yet because I’m being smart and doing washing right now for more weekend time!
🍕 🍷
Edit: Also may the best cat win tomorrow.
Cheers! 🍺🦘🏅
Oi oi oi 🍺
Sussing a few things on the roof for the p's. Quite the view:
As a youngen used to come back from parties mashed and sit up there at night and look at the skyline (and got into a lot of trouble if caught). In hindsight probably not wise.
These days it's all about loose tiles and gutters.
Leaving SR and have the sads… 10/10 would come back. Yes, the heat is oppressive, but I just really dig the idea of Angkor Wat being in my backyard…
Angkor Wat is amazing.
Nice. Seriously one of the most amazing places I've been to.
Ok, it's happened again. I don't watch TV, except when the Olympics or World Cup are on. I am amped to be completely smothered in sport for a few weeks until I again am sick of sports for another four years. 🏑🏃♂️🚴♂️🤸♀️🏅🏀🏓🎯🏸
Same same, love me the archery. Favourite to watch of the Olympic sports
I love them all - I'm always amazed seeing people who are the best in the world at what they do, doing their thing.
The biggest change in our house is the kids have taken up hockey in the past four years. So, hockey (a sport I've been mildly interested in at most) is going to be a huge deal. I think Perth might be the HQ for hockey in Australia. The kids met and had photos playing and hanging out with the Hockeyroos - who visited our club.
Only time I regret not having a TV (but can just watch on 7plus anyway I assume 🤷♂️
$27 gets you a month of Stan + the sports pack. Every event live or on-demand at a time that suits you. No ads. It's amazeballs. I just watched four rugby rapid recaps, 8 hours of rugby distilled into 20 intense minutes. You can watch on whatever screen you have.
My wife and I spent an hour trying to justify buying a TV for shits and giggles.
We came up with a massive list of arguments. A large handful of strong against, and 1 weak support.
We had a landlord-provided TV in the old apartment. We both lived there for 2 years, the TV used for probably an hour in total.
A touch too warm for me but looks well insulated. I’ll give it that.
Looks cosy
Thanks for the image, I'm banned from marketplace for some reason
Toasty.
That's a hot deal. Offer while stocks last, indeed.
Friday Flex - charging up a herbal vape on my work laptop.
Fuck the sytsem
Well today is it. I've just emailed not only the HR person but also the two people who interviewed me, making sure they know if an offer doesn't come by COB today I can't guarantee my availability for the new roles start date. Going to be hilarious and depressing when I hear nothing in reply
Going to be hilarious and depressing when I hear nothing in reply
sorry, disagree. You're putting yourself first and that's something to be proud of! if they cant sort their shit out in a few days they aren't someone you wanna work for anyway.
That really sucks mate. At best you've lit a fire under them. At worst, you'll have an answer 🤞🏾
ooooh xero don't you DARE go offline at 4:40 on FRIDAY.....
EDIT: Stand down. It was just slow. Admin done. Weekend is here 🍻
What's everyone doing tonight?
Making music and staying up till midnight because I've been crashing at 9pm for work all week lol
Spent about 5+ hours on a bus only to be stuck in traffic hell for another hour in a Tuk Tuk… Go me… 😂
Staying out of the ice wind. About to start season 3 of The Bear.
Mildly drunk and stoned...re watching Game of Thrones.
Light of the Seven (song/track) is absolutely haunting
Went out to local Malaysian food, now home and will choose a movie to watch.
Malaysian food is so underrated. So unique and so good.
Was watching NRL but that's finished now (GO STORM) and was thinking I might fire up Red Dead Redemption 2 because I'm trying again to get into the game
Just watched an episode of House (the kid’s current fave show), now going to bed. Had a really full-on week and I’m knackered.
My kid had that House phase too.
Good night.
Wheezing
Oh shit. That's not fun.
wõrk
Having a quiet night on the couch with a mug of hot rooibos tea and bossa nova playing in the background, perfect for unwinding and writing out lists of random things I need to do.
this has quite a bit of the old ultraviolence
Magicians, lasagne and chips
One thing I didn't account for is having to acclimate to looking at a screen for 8 hours. Weirdest headache last night.
Hopefully it eases up in a few more days.
Might be worth an eye test if you havnt had one in a while. Slow blinking and plenty of water too.
Yes!! I had to get 'computer' glasses years ago cause my eyes would hurt after work. My vision is pretty much perfect, but screens play havoc on me. Since getting the specs, no such issues.
I need new glasses really fucking badly. Mine are so scratched I'm surprised I can still see through them lol
Are your shoulders and neck sore as well?
Not sitting properly can cause pain there which subsequently leads to a headache.
Yeah I've got a shoulder injury from years ago that flares up if my posture is bad. Might have to make some changes at the desk
It's not the screen. It's your eyes focused on one thing constantly. You need to give them a break every 45 minutes or so. Even something as simple as looking at something distant for a minute every hour will help a great deal.
Good idea. I'm talking a 10 Min walk around the block every couple of hours.
I'm so over being at home. I seem to be done with the night sweats and headaches and sore throat; the cough is now mostly at night and after eating food. Yesterday I hardly coughed until right after dinner when it turned into a couple hours of feeling like I had little flecks of liquid constantly entering my windpipe, resulting in increasingly chesty yet mostly dry coughs. I think it's laryngopharyngneal reflux, took a PPI last night and one this nothing and not coughing nearly as much tonight.
If I stay on the PPIs for several days hopefully that'll be it. I desperately need to go out for some chores this weekend and to break the cabin fever. And I really DO NOT want to keep working from home next week
E: really craving fish and potato patties... or soft floppy hot chips.
hugs , hope you're feeling much better soon and are able to go out asap
My case manager was back in today and ordered a bunch of the things on my list. I think I'm down to 5-10 things that are still pending replacement.
Got a notif that one is being processed in some place called "Smeaton Grange" in NSW. Looks like a fun place, they have a play centre with bouncy houses, a go kart place, a swimming pool, a martial arts centre, a lolly warehouse, a circus school, and an indoor skating centre.
They also have a place with C U B E S
(Looks like someone's been eating the cubes, but tbh who could resist? They're C U B E S)
I just dreamt about the end of the world. It was really cinematic and had a cast of characters, none of them me but at times I was each of the characters. It had a series of time jumps and stories playing out about their lives before the finale which was in the future where there were millions of satellites in the night's sky. They were all different colours and shapes and clusters and zipped by closer than felt comfortable. Then they'd found a way to project a reflection of the earth in the sky so you could see all of the countries, and did a presentation on them which felt like a "thank you for your time here on earth, humans" where they showcased humanity over the years from every walk of life. It was all very impressive but it also felt very “big corporation” which felt fitting for where we’re headed.
Then during a random moment of conversation with one of the aged characters, one of the only remaining original ones who hadn't died off, the waves came. The first was large enough to know it was about to be the end. Then right after it the character was floating and could see the second world ender coming, gasped and then lights out and I woke up.
I haven't even talked about the story of her life or her late husband's life which was its own thing. There was sadness, redemption, fame, failure, regret and wrestling. And randomly, a pool of hippos which was under their huge warehouse where they lived. You could get to it from under their bed. Weird.
Anyway I just kinda wanted to journal this because it was kind of epic. It even had side characters who felt like they had their own journies over the time jumps, or had their own troubles which were suddenly gone and seemed trivial but also not trivial at the time, but were just the past after the time jumps and those characters had passed.
Oh wow... I wonder if you can expand this into a bigger piece of creative writing?
Watched Interstellar lately?
Dude, this sounds like one of my epic dreams with full on back stories for all the characters and detailed plot developments. I'd read the expanded version. And watch the movie adaptation
As someone living in Tassie, what sunshine? It is miserable here today.
Huh. So that works then. Very small though....
this is such napping weather
Cat sprawled in sunbeams, kind of energy
Good night everyone, sleep well 😘
Night night La Gondranedra. Kindly do your best to avoid sleep walking to Tasmania. I know it's tempting, and mistakes can happen, but it's cold there
Once you have gone through all of the C Goon options you need to move on to D Goon names. A Degoonstation menu of names to call de Goon.

I had the meeting with the discharge lady from my current school to get the necessary paperwork signed so I can begin TAFE. She said it'll probably be done within the next few weeks. I also sent an email to the intake lady from the TAFE and asked to switch to the class commencing in late aug. Far enough away to have time to organise everything, but not so far away that it slips my mind and I lose the motivation.
Also far enough away that her half a week long delay in replying to my emails won't cause problems. Hopefully
Side note: I really want to find another phone game I can get super addicted to for a week. But my taste in games isn't mainstream at all, so even computer games I enjoy are few and far between 😔

Psych: if you could wake up tomorrow and what's holding you back could be solved, what would that look like?
Me: I would have consistency and routine, be doing a job I enjoy, having enough fulfilling social time and not feeling hopeless. But I have control over those things and maybe I wouldn't feel hopeless if I have those things in check.
Psych: do you need me?!
We discussed hopelessness as something that comes up trying to be helpful when we aren't meeting our expectations. Understanding why it's there allows me to sit with it better. Also did an ACT meditation for sitting with emotions. At least for me, things feel shitty, but they never really end up being as bad as they seem in the long run.
still arguing with box. Took a quick break to tackle another box (unpacking) in bedroom, found a sensor light we used to have in the old wardrobe. Have now converted it to run off USB and will plug it into the brewery so you can find the bloody light switch. Accomplish. nods
Had the idea to convert some kmart string lights to run off USB from about 2 years ago, still haven't gotten around to doing so yet though.
In this case it was literally 3AA, and i save cables off everything that dies so all i had to do was two dobs of solder :D
Manager boss is away sick today, the mice will come out and play.
The first big chair is fully sanded and wiped down ready for staining. 😬 It's nothing fancy but it's solid oak . This will be the 3rd time in it's lifetime it's been recovered
Gratitude thread ✨️
Tried K-BBQ for the first time yesterday. Was great!
Jobbbbbb

Doggocalhoon. He's recently been given couch privileges, and it's working out great.
Late addition: I'm grateful for aloe vera. Such an odd little plant, but it makes burns feel better, that's why I have 3 pots of it 😁
Love it.
My hard drive dock from Amazon arrived, so I can hopefully get everything off of it and onto the new one now.
Related: Amazon seem to do 2 runs a day now, so I'll either receive my orders around midday or around 7pm. Today I fell into the morning run, so I can get my stuff sorted early(er)!
Packing of clothing waiting for me at my desk at work! Can't wait to get home and have a good look through it all!
I have a package waiting for me which I think will be my shoes. Plus it also has a cutter (bought to get me over the minimum spend!) which should be helpful in opening all the other packages which are currently enroute.
Anti-gratitude thread.
I haven't seen friends in two weeks, boohoo, my life is so hard
It looks lovely outside and I'm stuck at work looking at it through the window. By the time I get home and have the opportunity to take Mr Woof for a walk it will be dark again.
idiots, we can do without them
Not sure if this is appropriate for anti gratitude but my friend that I haven’t seen in awhile suddenly invited me over to his place for drinks.
What sucks is I don’t really feel like going and I can’t really drink much since I’m driving and it’s out to Rowville.
What on earth is going on with Aus Post today.
My security camera captures one delivery from the postie. Then an hour later same guy delivers another package.
And AusPost tracking still has another one coming today.
Taking a break at another team’s desk with their permission so I can have some peace and quiet.
Got the sun coming in and not a bad outside view though limited due to privacy.
this box is truly proving a meat filled pumpkin rolled into my enclosure.
pfsense is a no go as this little bastard runs a celeron, but I may still possibly use it as the mesh router for openwrt....if I could get it to recognise any of the boot disks....
Haven't kept up if you've made earlier posts on this... but pfsense won't run on a celeron? Is that because of the BSD-ness of it all? TIL.
I'm running it on a total overkill 6th-gen i5 but thought the requirements were pretty lightweight. Depends on what you need to do with it I guess! I've also got the thing doing DNS, DHCP, ntopng and incoming VPN and the thing still sits at basically idle.
Are the requirements any lighter for opnsense? Still BSD though I guess, if that's the issue. It's been years since I've looked at this stuff, I had lots of stability issues on opnsense but it may have improved now.
I -have- found that yelling at it, followed by some percussive maintenance, sometimes helps.
I have an old Qualys Sensor Appliance II. Was gonna turn it into a pfsense firewall, but it's reporting the CPU doesn't support long mode (no 64bit architecture) which is why it's out. OpenWRT has continued with 32bit support for longer, kinda its deal, so I'm thinking the box could become the core router for the openwrt mesh I'm building from scavenged tech. All their "boot disks" however are not booting. booo. booo.
music time 🎶🦇 just some instrumental music for doing work The Batman. This is awesome, so full of tension, fear, and then some pathos too. 10/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvXZurAwZ_A&list=PLBKadB95sF44svAf6GEN3TTFPJwFdwrmm
