I just made the new daily thread because I went to bed two hours ago and thought it was 7am 🙃
I once had a nap and tried to go to work at 7pm. Got about half way in before brain clicked over.
Omg. So much stuff. Someone got a new outfit.
Beeutiful 🐝
The stinger! It’s all too much!
The funny thing is he’s a large by Japanese standards. 😂
🥰😹

Last night turns it on.
Gorgeous!
bad vibes
Honestly considering carrying a brick around with me to see if people still want to cut me off at zebra crossings. Had a dude turn his head to stare at me while he nearly ran me over at a crossing and then he had the audacity to give me the ‘thanks’ hand wave…
Every single day I go outside I nearly get ran over, but it’s always at crossings and not when I’m jaywalking. Pisses me off so much.
A brick or a stick honestly isn’t a bad idea. The cops would probably get arcy if they saw you carrying a real brick, but I was reading a thread where someone else was saying the same thing in a different community the other day and apparently there’s like collapsible type bricks that you can fold out to full size. If you were to keep that in your backpack and pull it out around the corner from the crossings that always give you trouble, it’d probably still achieve the same thing, with the added affect nobody’s going to start accusing you of breaking into people’s houses
This happens to me at the one in Coburg near the Coles all the time! I get pedestrian rage 😡
And the other sort of Ah, Footscray.
Barefoot screaming woman in my front yard pinching the hose to shower with….
Behold the belleh
snorgles it
** Stuffs face into cat tummy **
You know, I’ve thought about it many times but I’m concerned she’ll suffocate me in my sleep if I do it.
She’s such a lovely cat
not like my two monsters , they are like roly poly dolls always trying to knock each other over
I think she’s related to my fatty
So pretty 😍
It’s surprisingly quiet up there.
Had my once-every-many-weeks check of LinkedIn on the desktop to see connection requests and the like. Found myself hit with that pang of realising how stagnant I was for years at my past role - can’t blame the workplace entirely, but I feel like I lost so much of my more passionate years while hamstrung by visa conditions. I have the freedom now but not as much excitement any more…
Something definitely needs to change. I don’t have huge ambitions but I also want to aim a little higher (in a sustainable way)… think with whatever experience I get in the next year and a half or so, I might be able to shift my career into something more interesting or substantial. Maybe do a formal qualification in spatial tech and get a gig in some cool environmental fieldwork company.
It’s weird that ‘aiming higher’ means getting a new job, more often than not.
I honestly think that workplaces, in general, pigeon hole a person into a role and that’s all.
All the best in your search and progress.
If you can get a permanent government gig, they’ll pay for your education in some cases.
I think there could’ve been scope to aim higher (expand my experience) at my last place, but not with the way management turned out in the last year.
My current gig is PT government, very low-level in the scheme of things (because at this exact moment I don’t want a super challenging job), but an useful foot in the door after being denied opportunities all these years. I could easily do more complex roles with a bit of training but those positions are currently filled by fairly capable and willing people, so unless they leave, I think opportunities are limited (which is ok for now). I’ll definitely stay for a year at least and see what else opens up.
Seeing how much further people who started around the time I did in this industry have gone, it’s easy to feel a little bitter. But I can catch up and develop my own niche, I think…
You got a good head on your shoulders 😊
Covid lockdowns did NOT help.
I probably might be still at my old job but further advanced and happier (everyone might’ve been happier) if it weren’t for the impact of the lockdowns. The one upshot was that at the time, it paved the way for me to stay in this country permanently. I can’t keep blaming the lockdowns now though, I do need to move on. Next week might bring some resolution about some options in that regard
it’s only recently I thought that maybe my depression was in part caused by the lockdowns
now I can finish recovering :)
City outing with the fam today. Dinner on Lygon street. Ordered a beer and the waiter put it in front of my son. We had a chuckle and asked the waiter how old did he think my son was. The dude said 18+20 for sure.
I think it made my son’s, who is actually 14, year.
I’m going to Daiso to buy some shit I don’t need. It’s my first time there although I vaguely remember there being one in Airport West many many moons ago or something similar. Anyway I’m off to buy some cute shit.
Take an Uber. Tick some boxes today
Ah, Footscray
A Parade of Nasty Things? Were there giant politicians too?
While II agree cane toads and mozzies are nasty, the magpie was rather nice 😝 There was a pretty good circus mob and many children who needed their pitch adjusted dramatically downward
With your post and CEO’s next to each other I honestly thought you were both in Footscray at the same time…
I got an ad for one of those shitty story apps where you pay like 6 bucks a month to read stories that Chatpgp thing wrote, and their ad is kinda hilarious
What the.hell even is this 🤣
I love how it gave Brad a wolf and didn’t expand upon it
Context is for nerds
I mean, I kinda wanna know what happens
I desperately need to know how this ends.
Gimme 6 bucks and I’ll get chatgap to finish if for you 😉

SnoreGibson is a very aesthetically pleasing cat
Kitties always look so peaceful and happy when they’re sleepy
Gosh she’s a beautiful cat, I love her pattern!
She’s like a little zebra lol
Every time I see a pic I stop and admire her/his coat. It’s sooo pretty and looks real healthy
It’s like marble cake. I love cats with swirly coats like that, nice twist on a tabby pattern.
Gorgeous Gibson 😍
Prrrrrrr
Woof
Going for an evening walk before dinner as it’ll be a while before it’s light at this time. Love daylight saving, I will miss it.
I don’t mind dark mornings. I need bright evenings.
I’d love DST to be permanent tbh.
Who wants to post tomorrows thread - Sunday April 7th?
Force majeure I think
Oh. I didn’t realise they’d already posted it
Time and date is one of my weaknesses
I’ll tell your arch enemy to ward you off with a calendar and a clock
