Last day out at this site that would seemingly never end. So badly quoted... not my problem though. I'm glad today is it. Can't say I'm going to miss wrangling the drivers of the M1.

Had a long text chat last night with a friend at my old workplace who was stressed out of their mind after being dressed down by a client due to providing faulty data... it was a continuation of a big job I'd done a few years ago and while I think I was able to help my friend work out what happened on the technical side of things, and how to respond, I saw an excerpt of the email he received and I'm still residually stressed out this morning even though it's not my problem at all now haha. I most definitely don't miss those days (even though the original job was one of the more rewarding ones that we did really well out of). Had a moment of reflection on the really really shitty year I had with flaming out badly and getting bullied by my boss and I'm so happy I was able to come out of it on the other side and look back without too much pain.

hugs

happy you could help your friend,

and to a better year

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

switched to vodafone. Seems to be working ok so far, but they did screw me on that bonus data. Good thing I took some screen caps of the chat promising that the data would be honored if I activated later.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is confusing but the bonus data has always been from the first recharge of that prepaid plan (i.e. in a year). It's still good value without it though. But by this time next year there might be a Boost offer to move back to. ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

if I make it last 10 months it'll only cost me 15 bucks a month with 22 gig of data. Really not bad. test will be how good that roaming onto optus works when I go out into the country.

I remembered it's my birthday today so I got the breakfast banh mi as a treat on the way in to work. I think I'll check my emails and head down to the nearby shopping centre during lunch to collect up as much free/discounted birthday stuff as I can

The end times are near. Repent all and be saved!!

The food scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didnโ€™t stop to think if they should.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Im actually tempted to try them lol

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

thats what I said about the meat pie corn chips. It was not good.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

but then if you didn't try them you spend the rest of your life wondering what they taste like

i still regret not buying the haggis chips

Some 10 Min dreams last weeks and some hours long dreams last minutes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

some are just weird

twice this week I've dreamed/nighmared i was giving birth

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (11 children)

Iโ€™m at the ED at hospital. My mum was in a really bad car accident. Thankfully itโ€™s just bruising but it could have been much, much worse. Her car was totalled. Driving up to the accident seeing all the police / ambulance / fire truck lights and then her totalled car was truly scary. Iโ€™m just thankful sheโ€™s OK. Waiting to do scans to make sure nothing is broken, then Iโ€™ll drive her home.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Shit, that's one of my worse nightmares. Hoping everyone involved comes out mostly ok.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

yikes. She got comp insurance?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Good job ex-car. She should probably be playing some Tetris.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

God, that would have been terrifying. I'm glad she's ok

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

oh no, I hope every one is alright

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Gentle healing hugs for you and mum.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm glad she's OK โค๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good job totalled car, it crumpled on her behalf. Drive gently on the way home. One of my repeated memories of post accident issues was how much the drive home sucked because I was all beaten up and resisting the mild g-forces as a passenger was suddenly a painful struggle.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

You just reminded me of an accident I was in as a teen where we had to go over the railway lines to get to the Drs, and then again to get home. The whiplash!

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Thank goodness she's ok! It is a truly scary experience. ๐Ÿซ‚
