    I have un-grumpied my butt with cat cuddles, some food and making loud, discordant noises in the studio.

    And everyone is now tucked in for some sleep. Goodnight ❤️

    The fluffy boi has been having testing on his kidneys, and the vet’s incidentally found a serious heart condition. Poor little chicken. More expensive tests that I can’t really afford to follow.

    So I went to the street yard sale that Thornbury posted about.

    It was massive , cool and interesting.

    Two types of sellers, those who want to clear stuff out of their house, those who are trying to make money.

    Prices were generally high, often higher than Op shops.

    Lots of kids stuff, lots of over priced old clothes. So many books and by the look of it no one was buying.

    Few dvds, even fewer CDs and vinyls.

    So what did I get. From an old guy who was clearing out a shed, a nutmeg grater, some antique glass bottle stoppers.

    From another stall I got a pair of light weight cargo pants.

    had a nice chat with a woman who fixes up old chairs and does sewing. 🙂

    It was an ok day.

    Another day, another job interview. Two this week, one that felt okay and one that felt pretty good - fingers crossed I get to the next stage with at least one of them!

    Edit: second interview for one lined up for next week, yaaaay.

    When will people learn. If your rubbish bin is overflowing, the birds will come with their mates and scatter your shit all over your nature strip and if it ends up on mine I will go out there and relocate it back onto yours with a huff so use your limp wristed hands and push that shit down so the lid sits flush. Dickhead.

    I’ve just eaten almost a whole bag of Doritos and as a consequence am no longer hungry enough to have motivation to cook dinner. Maybe a toasted sandwich will do for today, with some fruit after. Healthy eating starts again tomorrow.

    Downpipe at the p’s fixed! Took about 2 mintues. Saved a few dollaridoos there.

    A few days ago when I was there I said 'hey I’m going to try and fix it this way". He cracked the shits 'I MAKE THE DECISIONS AROUND HERE". Dude has acute NPD but there are work arounds. So I said okay you do it. So I pissed off down the bellarine… Get a call:

    Me: How’s that pipe going Him: The pipe has fallen 10cm I can’t do it. Getting a plumber in a few weeks.

    I get back, go over today (while he’s away)… Turns out he pulled the down pipe down and it disconnected from the gutter. I chuck it back on try and recreate what he did and he must’ve been trying to climb the thing. Easy fix.

    So now I’m putting a mock invoice in his letter box:

    Call out fee: $200 Labour: $300ph x 0.033 = $10 Materials: 4cm of 100mm PVC: $0.5 Use of toilet: -$1 Stealing a glass of wine: -$9

    He will hate that. Apparently he spent an hour trying to do it.

      He may hate it but admit it, you love it.

      Dunno if you’re AFAB or not but it’s fucking spectacular when you pull this shit on a FIL as a woman XD

    One of my coworkers came in sick. We are so unbelievably busy and have been in a state of crunch for the last month, and I have leave scheduled for Dragon Age and my partner’s birthday in a week.

    I will be so sad if I catch the horrible hacking cough she’s got, I booked an expensive restaurant and everything

    The Gisele Pelicot case really makes my blood boil. All these gutless, horrible men who really do think women are chattel and that their consent means less than a man’s entitlement to pleasure.

      they would treat other men badly too except they only abuse those who are physically weaker than they are

      also, how come Giselle’s doctor didn’t look after her? That puzzles me so much.

      I just read up on it because I was unfamiliar with the case. Good lord what a poor brave broken woman. The husband admitting guilt is of little comfort. What a hideous POS.

      I read this when it came out. Her husband, I have no words. No consent, the STDs… I am also in awe of her courage. I don’t think I’d be able to even leave a room let alone have contact with people ever again.

      If those complete and utter POSs thought they were taking part in a sex game, then maybe the game wasn’t sex so much as domination, and the whole point was the absence of the power to choose. Which to me indicates a very frail and fragile sense of their own masculinity. The husband should be executed imo. Preferably by lethal injection.

      What a fucking pig of a husband. I don’t even know what to say. That poor woman, and her courage

      Edit: She obviously wasn’t moved to another location but would this count as something similar to human trafficking?

    Tired from my labours, but finally sitting down to relax before bed. I’m rewatching Seinfeld, have needed a comfort show lately. Something I’ve watched before but enjoy watching again, requires not much concentration and is from a simpler time.

    Tell me your comfort show (if you have one).

      I watch lord of the rings/tolkein podcasts and videos

      and I listen to old BBC radio comedies , such as the Goon Show or Hancock’s Half Hour

      Not something you’d expect, but American Dad. It’s mindless enough to semi-engage without getting too bored and while edgy it doesn’t seem to be enough to be genuinely upsetting.

      And the lack of continuity/wacky hijinks resolving back to the status quo means it doesn’t matter about what order or whether the uploader has chopped it up into many out of context chunks.

      I wouldn’t say I was a fan. In fact it’s easier to chuck on for background because I don’t care about following the show. But it’s something that’s kind of reliable to just watch when anxious or tired or flossing or gaming without worrying about closely following the plot or missing anything. It’s Comfortably Dumb.

      Family Guy tries too hard though. Kinda lame. The offensive jokes aren’t even offensive to me, they’re just lazy.

    Tradie next door building houses having what sounds like a meltdown and is shouting loudly. Very good atmosphere for my sister who is WFH and on the phones, and me trying to scramble to finish assignments.
