I have seriously been sucked into these Chinese feudal multi-verse dramas.
Me and YT need to go on a breakโฆ BUT itโs soooo hard!
I'm so annoyed right now.. moved into a new role and workload is fucked. It's not going well. Management is ignoring it.
Also a massive massive thing has come about from a client I initially spoke with, spoke to a lawyer about (where another colleague didn't bother), it's now turned into possibly a class action, or at least a shit tonne of work for our firm. I'm getting no shout outs or anything for me recognising the potential. Not even from my direct management.
Mrs has got the car fixed. Damage wasn't as bad as it looked apparently, it was the material of the chair disintegrating on the panel itself thank god. Car's looking brand new again. I thought maybe we'd learnt out lesson, then she almost took out a cupboard in the garage. Far out man.
I think the Christian name resume is working... Interesting.
it's been like that here for as long I remember
my own father had a weird European name, non British, and it was Anglicanised when he came here . I can kinda understand in his case, the name is barely pronounceable.
and it's not just English names, there is classism at work here too. Posh English names work best. ๐
Pretty pumped for a three day work week!
A small tunnel mysteriously appeared in the lounge room while Miss Meow was napping. She has so far determined it does not seem to be a threat and gone back to bed. Time will tell whether it is worthy of more interaction later.

๐จ๐จalert! Unauthorised facial hair deletion. Who is this weird teenager?! Stranger Danger! ๐จ๐จ
Oh c'mon, I thought to new mustache was alright...
It feels like you're having an affair for the first few days!
aspirin has been taken
I was just about to go to sleep and I got another one of those Medicare phishing messages. Just like last time I reported it through phish.report. pretty much a carbon copy of the last one on friday. With a bit of luck it will probably either be moved into client hold or blocked by safe browsing before all the normies start waking up.
I really wish there was something done about phone number spoofing. I imagine it would become substantially harder for them if these drongos had to actually be A. Within Australia, B. Provide ID, and C. Be subject to the same limits as everyone else
I'm watching Mr Inbetween again because the man hasn't seen it and I can't stop saying "vagankle".

Our favourite air freshener appears to be out of stock everywhere. Woolies and Coles list it as unavailable at all the stores. Bunnings are saying it's deleted. The website is still up, but I think they're going out of business.
This is devastating. I've been using this brand since I met my wife, no idea how long she's been using it. I'm at the point where I'll buy every bottle a store has - 5 year's supply if I must rather than trying to find something else.
My partner just did this with hand soap, she used some soap at a dance workshop we were at recently and loved the scent. She found it but its been discontinued. She was able to find somewhere with it in stock and order all 10 or so they had left
The Organic Choice website says theyโve been acquired by Tempo Group?
I use Orange Power a lot when doing big clean ups.
Ah! Thatโs promising. Havenโt been able to find the laundry stuff for ages. Hopefully a supply restart wonโt be too long.
Confirmation. Out of business in Jan. Organic Choice, OrangePower, Trix, and Aware Sensitive are all gone. Grab what remnants you can scrounge up ๐ฟ
Oh damn, the Organic Choice hand and dish wash was really nice. Haven't used it in years as I now get bulk stuff but still. RIP.
I knew what that was before I even clicked. So disappointed that itโs no longer available, it was the best one out there
Noooo! Their Shower cleaner is the best. Hope this isnโt true.
No way. That's the best one out there because it doesn't make me sneeze.
Would NQR sell remaining stock maybe
I had no idea they made air fresheners. I have a bottle of the goo remover under my sink.
Which flavour air freshener did you like?
Orange. Though I'd buy the lime one if it was all I could get my hands on.
