i'm beat, good night everyone

The way my brain works is so weird. I come home and I'm just dead. I have a feeling it might have something to do with it getting dark early and also not getting enough sleep. Or iron or something.

I spend time from 5pm to 9pm just eating, being zonked out, and staring into space pretty much.

I had a deadline 10 days ago, and because I've spent much of this week being exhausted, I didn't meet that deadline and submitted nothing. I'm going to try not to beat myself up too hard sighs

Smashing out this research assessment - i wonder if I can get a small extension to Monday due to being unwell the past couple of weeks, but I don't have a doctor's note. Ugh

It's my own fault but UGH

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Just ask. I've had a few extensions and they didn't require any proof at all.

Depends on the institution, but you can always submit something to the spec con team saying that you are in the process of getting a doctor's note, and tell them when said appointment to get the note is. Then usually they'll wait for you to upload documentation :)

I'll look into it tomorrow I think, I might only need a stat Dec possibly. I don't think my doctor would backdate a certificate anyway, I didnt see them.

Either way, I'll do my best to get it done before Friday :D

My French is better than I thought. I managed to direct/have a lengthy conversation with a French tourist who was gifted with enthusiastic but terrible English skills.

I’ve also picked up a katsu curry bowl and am ready to withdraw into seclusion for the evening.

I don’t really fancy cooking and cleaning up after a stir fry today.

I think I’ll just air fry some thick crunchy chips tonight.

A 20km drive home (freeway driving) took 40 minutes. Between that and just suchhhh a shitty day at work, I actually had to go to the gym or I'd have torn myself apart.

Now sitting outside, enjoying the breeze.

Went and saw the Minecraft movie over the weekend with my two kids and two of their friends. Really fun. Small cinema so no meme related mess thankfully.

People are getting seasick on this ferry. I am not one of them (I don't get seasick, I'm very comfortable on open water) but the ferry staff have checked on me twice.

I can only assume they've seen me stand up and made the wrong guess

For a sec there I wondered why you were on a boat in the dark, lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Smuggling. Shhhh

I was on the Rottnest ferry as a wee lad and went to the toilet. I became airborne mid-stream multiple times.

I've managed to sort out the microchip records for Mr Woof and Miss Meow - I somehow had two seperate accounts and could only access one. They have now been merged and I can access both records. It didn't help that I had lost the number for Mr Woof's chip and it's taken me ages to find it.

I discovered that Mr Woof was still listed under his prison ID, "Scampy", a name that he hasn't used since he was a puppy incarcerated at the Lost Dogs Home. It's been fixed now, and I have the numbers securely recorded so I'll be able to register them with the new council.

When I was a kid of our dogs was called Scamp, and she also came from the lost dogs’ home!
