gave five guys another go today. Second time for them and holy shit the bacon is so bloody good! Took a lacteeze so I could get that sweet sweet plastic cheese as well. Thats what I was missing the first time. Incredible! 30 something bucks for the bacon cheeseburger, small chips and a coke though. a rare treat then.

Made chunky bolognaise in the Thermomix we inherited from my dad and it fucking rocked. Wasn't sure about the worcestershire sauce and the chilli flakes, but went with it - very glad I did.

I meant to set up my uni stuff last night. Ended up having a 2 hr phone call from a friend in distress... Every cell of my being is happier that I used the time to help a friend when nobody else could've (it was a very specific situation)

But I ended up only finishing data prep at 1pm today. It's now too late for me to collect data today. I have "wasted" the one last suitable day (clear sunny skies) in quite a while and I may not be able to hit my Absolute Latest Deadline of collecting all the data by the end of the month :/

I've accepted that I made my choices (esp slacking on the weekend, which would've avoided this whole situation)... and tbh I had such poor sleep and other issues that frankly I really need the rest more than anything else.

Now to just desperately hope there's just a couple more sunny midday periods before the end of the month 😖 🙏🏽

Accuweather and BoM have wildly different forecasts for next Monday in the northern suburbs. Please let Saturday and Monday be sunny enough, pleaaaase

Finally on the work WiFi in this service black hole. Trying to do anything on my phone here has been hell otherwise.

I've been able to get by through ROMS and downloaded podcasts

Another of my former clients is leaving.

$120k revenue a month lol

Love watching this place burn to the ground.

are the bailing cause the new account manager is useless? or cause you stepped down? Or just the overall shit level of service?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because I stepped down and the new account manager couldn't manage a lemonade stand lol

This is fucking glorious!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Have they managed to compose an email yet?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They can't follow a video I made spelling out how to do literally everything.

The person who was protecting them left yesterday.

Reality is going to hit hard 😂

excitedly planning out purchases for the van. We threw away/donated tons of stuff and are basically starting again (plus I don't wanna carry heavy glass and china that looks pretty breakable) and we have tons of our own camping gear we can just put in the van but now I'm just filling the gaps. I can finally justify bringing a kettle and toaster. I still love camping in my swag, and I'll still do it from time to time. But camping with power (until I can get a basic offgrid system) its going to be very very nice!

I definitely listed my coffee grinder too low when I put it on Marketplace (leading to a huge number of responses). I put it on eBay late afternoon yesterday for more than twice that amount and it has sold already. I guess those things hold their value more than other small appliances. And I almost took it to the op shop instead of bothering to list it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's good to keep in mind. I have a cafe level grinder I've been meaning to sell but I've been worried about listing it too cheaply
