LL has suddenly requested I remove all my plants from the balcony immediately because of alleged damage and complaints (currently unsubstantiated), and is going to do an inspection in 11 days. This sounds like she's on the warpath now and wants to force me out.

Of course I can't get any advice on what my rights are until Monday, but for now I've sent an email asking for some evidence. I'm not removing my plants just like that.

I don't feel safe or happy at all. I don't really wanna go back to the apartment right now.

They brought the meeting forward to today and I've been terminated. I'm just glad it's over

Day off

Had a pedi earlier

Stoned off my tits

Hockey is on

It's gonna be a good day

My dog living the life of a cat

Finished work. Going for walk. Shout out if you want me to bring you back a stick

The time has come to traumatize Mr Woof with a bath. Wish us luck.

I rage-installed Brave browser today. Been a firefox user for a long time but its getting resource hungrier and performance-worser on my laptop (linux). So far so good. Brave is fast but otherwise similar to Chrome.

This has been Friday night geek chat with Oldgreeeeeg.

bloody hell

i've got a yucky intolerance response to some fruit yoghurt, ( yes, I had a lacteeze ) lips on fire, eyes burning. Extra lactose in the recipe perhaps? Not too pleased about it.

Flatpacked raised veggie patch arrived today. SO MANY FUCKING BOLTS that took me 3hrs and of course a few were missing. Happy to at least visualise it now though.

The culprit was sulphites in the fruit

I had a little adventure. I had to drive the Kluger home. I've only driven an auto once in 20 years. Anyway I got home and realised I didn't know how to turn it off. A phone call later sorted that out. I then took the little doolackey out of the console and locked it. I checked to make sure it's locked by the door handle and it beeped at me and the mirrors opened up. Did it again. Same. Shamefully I did it again. Same. So I spent 20 minutes outside babysitting an unlocked car. Technology hates me and i hate technology.

Anyway cheers you smarter more competent tech people 🍺

Ok. I’m in the process of treating myself to this.

One half is the size of my hand closed out flat.

12 bucks!

One prac assessment completed and submitted, all the work done yesterday and checked by teacher.

All is well, I can do this!

I feel like I’ve had a big backslide in terms of physical and mental health. And my sleep patterns.

Fucksticks.

I ordered some regular baby items from Chemist Warehouse online. I'm hoping they track the transaction on my account and send me emails when they stuff goes on sale again. You've got to use surveillance capitalism to your benefit sometimes.

Fire alarm. Again, for the second time in a week. Yaaaaaay.

Due to the 2% pay rise fiasco, they've given everyone 3 days wfh instead of 2.

Also I bought new shoes and Gibson gets a new box.

Fuck it I'm getting a new jacket as well

Just so sad when I see how people are permanently damaged by bad parenting and bad jobs. In many cases a complete come back is not possible due to ongoing chronic health issues.

There will be no miniature ghost train cake. Too crumbly and disintegrated when I tried to ice it 😿

Animal Biology fuck yeahhhh!!

What's the etiquette around calling about a job after it closes? I put in for a job I really want and it closed today.

I'll bedamned if I leave it in god's hands from here. Do I call on Monday mentioning I have some ideas I'd like to put in a presentation if I get an interview? Something to tease their curiosity a bit?

So, BIG project due end of year (wasn't enough time in the first place) has had a sudden and abrupt change of course. Because of course it has. All our comms and training material need to be completely redone. And I'm finding the phrase "Do it yourselves motherfuckers" is rolling around in my head, but not yet my lips. edit: gonna delete the teams here, but rest assured they are all idiots.

And the only thing we all have in common is we think the project is unrealistic, deliverable and the head of IT is an idiot.

Off to start my workday. Meeting in a cafe, which is nice

Cheers for real and proper 🍻

Went looking for more horror movies only to see the Internet Archives has been hacked.

I wasn’t a member but if you were make sure all your passwords are unique

I'm excited I'm getting new glasses next week!!!! A friend came to help pick them out and they're a totally different style than normal.

Admittedly a bit sad, but damn it I'm excited lol

The zucchini seeds are already sprouting… that was fast. Not all have started but a fair few have - one is even way ahead of the others and has its first set of leaves
