Well, I called it. Melbcat has potentially had a reaction to the antibiotic and has definitely got an ear infection and super itchy skin. I've been advised to stop the antibiotic (normally something you should never do) and give her eardrops and transdermal pain relief. They couldn't get urine today so not sure about the UTI situation but if she worsens it's specialist time.

Got called for references for the job I interviewed for, feeling pretty confident I'll snag it ๐Ÿ˜Ž Especially as despite my ex-boss still being a shit from what I hear recently, he was more than supportive on the phone when I gave him a heads up.

If it all goes well the employment checks shouldn't take more than a week or two, it'll mainly be up to the medical provider for the pre-employment medical.

OK, was it Duenan who said he had a screen shot of Gandalf with his Istari shield? I replayed scenes in both versions of the movies, have looked so close and just can't see it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This is an artist's impression of the scene from the movie.

I'll have to go back and replay the scene to get a timestamp though.

I think it's the sphere he formed when he said he's a servant of the secret fire etc. From 2:08:04 to 2:08:10 of the theatrical version

If I have a proper posture I have no pain at all any more. I might get another desk chair, I have one of those stylish miller ones but don't use it as it too bulky.

anyone else wake up in the morning and first thing they do is to check the news to make sure the world hasn't ended overnight, hoping for an excuse to not have to get out of bed?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Must feed animals or the furry little drama queens will perish ! Oh the suffering they have endured without food for 8 hours is immeasurable.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Same.

Ted Cat pats me on the face to wake me up if I am too tardy with the food. Bill just stares or yells at me.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No the first thing I do is stretch to make sure everything is still working. Then I let the dog out so he can have a piss.

So they're doing a Lemmyvision contest for national communities, I'd love it if people here could take a few minutes to look at my recommendation (or suggest your own). I'd like to see us compete just as we do in the real thing.

Also I found out that Adrian Bliss (weird costume guy who does comedy shorts) is coming to Melbourne to perform next month, gonna book some tickets tonight.

Just woke up from a 14 hour sleep. Fuck lol. And I also have the Snappy Tom song stuck in my head.

Anyone else feel really sleepy at work this morning? I mustn't have slept a wink, the way my body's feeling

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Me! Iโ€™m wrecked today, no idea why. Coffeeโ€™s not working either

Hmmm, not my thing personally, but I can see it as a good choice for Eurovision.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

That's AWESOME. I love it

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

AHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE IT

It won't win but I love it ๐Ÿ˜

I'm so excited for Eurovision eeeeeeeeeee!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are we allowed to win? It's kind of a running joke that we're allowed to send someone, but I didn't think we'd ever be allowed to win.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

We can win, and we even came 2nd in 2016!

We couldn't host the following year's competition though, it must take place in Europe, which seems fair.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I think the stage performance is going to be pretty special!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Partner off to their first day of their new job ๐Ÿฅฐ so proud of them to get a job in the area of study they did!

Now... What to do with myself for the rest of the day...

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

May I suggest coffee followed by a little zig a zig ha?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I think that is a grand idea!

You want a shit and a cigar?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

If you want my future, forget my past
If you wanna get with me, better make it fast
Now don't go wasting my precious time
Get your act together we could be just fine!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I think todays jam making endeavour will be mixed berry. I'll also pencil in doing some grilled vegetables for the freezer (I use them on grilled sandwiches).

Baby girl threw up her morning meds ๐Ÿ˜ž I managed to get the washable puppy pad under her before she did it so that's easier for me to clean, but she still feels like crap.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Poor girl, it hurts when they're unwell :(

I hope she starts feeling better soon! Sending some good positive vibes your and her way ๐Ÿ’œ

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Thanks. She's still sitting in place not feeling so good :(

Can't sleep. Doing that thing where I do the thing I shouldn't do (thinking) because it makes me not be able to do the thing I want to do (sleep)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Brooooo SAME. "I cant sleep because I'm distracted because I crave a distraction because I should be asleep but I cant sleep so I'm upset and so I'm craving a distraction" was a real vibe last night

Oh wow. 30+ years later, that jungle is absolutely still in there. Does this ad still air?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I still โ€œsingโ€ it sometimes, I donโ€™t even know if the brand is still available. I think I had to YouTube the ad to show the kids once, as well as other ads that I occasionally โ€œsingโ€, because they had never seen them. I feel like less ads use a good jingle nowadays.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I have no idea. I just type whatever pops into my head at midnight.
