Early night tonight. Goodnight everyone ❤️
These are the absolute best 🤣🤣🤣
see you tmr
Today sucked for pain but I saw a skink in my house. Which was interesting. I’m glad Melbcat didn’t see it because even at her age she is a fantastic hunter.
No idea how it got in. Considered catching/shooing him out to avoid brutal murder by cat, but didn’t want to traumatise him or make him drop his tail. So I didn’t get any closer. Hoping he finds his way safely out.
for whatever reason the south bank five guys didnt quite taste like five guys the two times i went
this QV one though, it is perfection
Some guys taste different. Nobody can explain it.

Why thank you. My very first LemmyGold.
sth to do with bananas or is it ananas
Watching Terms of Endearment because it’s supposedly famously melodramatic. Why is everyone in this movie so horrible/creepy. John Lithgow has such an innocent and smooth face though
E: how was this such a popular movie, so much schlock. I hate almost everyone in this. So manipulative! What a sign of changed morals…
Creepy? I’ll give it a watch and check it out.
had a look and the shirley maclaine character is so awful , not a good person at all.
I had an interview today for the exact sort of time I want at a place I’d be happy to work for. If that works out I’d start at the end of the month, so right when my 2 weeks pay from the old place would go up to.
If this works out I’m pretty much getting a 2 week holiday before starting work I actually enjoy
Best of luck!
Fingers crossed mate!
Fingers crossed for you too, it’s a great feeling when it all lines up like that!
It would be great if this works out. I’ve had times where I’ve really struggled to find work and I can’t afford that downtime now. This would be a contract to see me through to next year so I have plenty of breathing room if I don’t get any of the jobs I’m applying for now
Uni meeting didn’t go as badly as i thought, but I’ve been feeling really out of it and congested most of the rest of the day. Brain really has taken a battering after the past few days and there’s no rest in sight as I’ve got a major job ahead with cleaning up the house for inspection next week, and also starting to line up rental inspections myself (fuck that noise majorly, but I got no choice).
It’s a real effort to try and relax and not constantly feel like I should be doing something
I had this plunger thing I bought from Daiso that was great for making scrambled eggs. The MIL managed to break it and she couldn’t find another one at Daiso recently.
It was already a cheap plastic French press, so I’ll see if I can find an actual French press and replace it with that
I find the idea of using a plunger to scramble eggs way more repulsive than I should
It sounds odd using a French press. The cup from Daiso is this cute plastic thing with a little chicken on top of the plunger.
But damn, it scrambles the eggs well and is easy to clean
So does a fork.
I don’t even pre-scramble anymore, just bust em up in the pan 🤷♂️
I second this method.
A fork in a glass works well too, but I found my little plastic plunger to be a bit more consistent
This sounds ridiculously cute and now im on a mission
This is what it looks like. There are two discs at the bottom full of holes that mash and aerate the egg. It did a good job

Tinyest’s language comprehension appears to have exploded. Still limited words back, but answers are starting to form. Last night I asked him if he wanted to get out of the bath. He shakes his head and says something similar to “nuh”. I asked if he wants a bottle, he ponders for a second and goes “Yeh” and starts climbing out of the bath. Blew my mind. Didnt realize he was there yet.
“Are you ready for bed?”
Yeh… yeh nuh…
Pretty much! It’s rarely a yes to something we want it to be a yes to.
When Tinyest starts going through the ‘NO!’ stage, ask him if he wants a lolly … This is guaranteed to traumatise him with his first taste of existential angst. An important part of growing up.

Got the news this morning but haven’t brought myself to tell anybody yet so you’ll be the first. I did the glucose resistance test last week and it seems I have type 2 diabetes. I felt fine during and after the tests so I thought maybe I’d be ok but apparently not so much.
It was almost inevitable, I think, considering dad and I are so similar and he has it. I’m still processing it though. I don’t think I have any of the symptoms of it but no doubt if I don’t start managing it they’ll start popping up. This is my first real health issue. Never broken a bone or had to go to hospital besides normal infant stuff. Not as invincible as I suspected.
Definitely sucks getting old. My dad had type 2 as well. Diagnosed after multiple heart attacks & strokes. Type 2 can be managed with diet & exercise. It’s not the worst.
The good news is that it’s manageable and it doesn’t have to stop you living your life. You will be ok.
Two more weeks until I’m free from academic jail for the year, and I’m dying to visit some dive bars. Going to
forcegently nudge some friends and hopefully they’ll be up for it. If not, I shall bring a book so I don’t sit there awkwardly and enjoy the ambience.Things are getting a bit busy at work, which is perfect timing, as my secondment to a higher position is coming to an end.
Now I can actually focus on what I’m doing and not sort out other people’s issues.
Yay me!
Hooray!
I might have an opportunity after Christmas to have the higher duties role permanently, which would be good as I would ditch my current responsibilities.
With a salary upgrade?
A moderate one, but yes.
I’m not going to practice tonight. I’m starting to get complacent.
One more practice tomorrow before the gig and that’ll do.
Edit: even with a migraine I’m going. Not to tempt fate, but still.
Check the tuning of your guitar?
Edit: spelling mistake.
I bought new strings so I’ll have to break them in which I actually enjoy.

This could be wild optimism on my part, but I really hope Gen Z can change workplace culture, and the world for the better.
Because I’m sorry to say Boomers really fucked it up. Gen X and Millennials raised by boomers are too damaged and drained to fight the man.
Millennial here and while I’m generalising, I don’t think our generation is following in boomer footsteps in setting workplace culture. Although the biggest change to workplace culture in my lifetime has been thanks to a global pandemic, with the boomers now trying to pedal us backwards.
Biggest thing I’ve noticed with my millennial colleagues is that they see the job as a job and have very little loyalty to a ‘company’. If the wages and conditions are right, they’ll stay and work. If they’re shit, workers will leave and find something better.
The boomer (and GenX to an extent) mentality is still very much ‘find a job and stick it out’.
Until I started my current role (almost 7 years) my longest tenure before that was 3 years, over a 15 year career.
I would get asked in interviews about ‘job hopping’ and would simply say that I can handle a bad situation for so long. Mind you some of those were being made redundant, but older people couldn’t believe I would leave a job.
And honestly, why be “loyal” to a company when they will neck you the minute it serves their interest. They reap what they sow.
It’s a very old school way of thinking. Back when loyalty actually mattered, sure.
I’ve said in an interview ‘I’m loyal to my family and keeping a roof over their heads, work is work’. Ended up getting the job, but declining it.
As a proud Gen Xer (on the cusp, but still counts) I do my best to undo work place fuckery whenever possible.
Also try to call out and push back on entitled behaviour. That one applies to all generations.
