Always love when I get an incoming call from Mrs B going "Now dont panic, everything is fine! But.... someone bit Tinyest" "Oh damn! Is everyone ok?" "Yeah so turns out Tinyest stuck his fingers in someone elses mouth, the other kid bit down and Tinyest was surprised to discover that getting bitten hurts". "....." least i dont have to save for Uni!
Anyone know whether the Geelong rental market is as borked as Melbourne? I'm half considering a job there.
I mean this is the nicest possible way, but... you understand that means you'd have to LIVE in Geelong, right? You cant even go home and take a shower because you'd just be showering IN Geelong.

So, 4 interviews in 3 weeks as "Christian name" as opposed to 3 interviews in 4 months as actual name. I wonder how they'll react when they think they're going to meet "Christian name" and get "actual name" instead.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon_ The joys of having an ethnic name (there's a reason I go by AJ these days).
It's a pity I don't know how to code apps, because if I did, I'd make one that automatically plays a response when it's asked the following questions:
Where's that from?
No, I mean where are you from *originally*?
No, I mean where's your family from?
Oh, and where's that?
Have you been back recently?
You speak really good English AJ. Well done.
My mother got that once. She had been in Australia over 30 years by then. It was a politician who said it.

It's ridiculous that you have to do this. As someone who now has an arabic surname I get a lot of quizzical looks which make me laugh.
I'm expecting that exact quizzical look at these interviews. I'll be looking sharp though so we'll see what happens.
You got this buddy!

My crud has progressed to a point where I canโt hear anything because my ears are blocked.
On the bright side, my flat is clean, my accounts are done and Iโve had a haircut. Now to do my neighbour/friendโs dishes - sheโs not been well, and itโs something I can do to help her catch up on all the stuff sheโs missed while sheโs down
Hey @[email protected] we should create a health and fitness community where we can post videos and achievements etc. I'll post it and see if anyone is interested.
Easily done. What do you want to call it?
I don't know. I've put it to the people in the post I made. We'll give it 24 hours. Maybe someone here can give it a good name otherwise just leave it as health & fitness.
Edit: I kinda like AusWellbeing.

My hot water bottle betrayed me!
Woke up this morning feeling a bit damp but didn't connect the dots until the water had soaked through a couple of layers all the way to the mattress. Bum.
I guess I didn't seal the lid properly or something.
dont shame it! These things happen as we get older.

Haircut day! Which means I get to go into the city and be around people. In desperate need of social stimulation.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon_ Ooh, exciting! ๐
Are you going to mix it up a bit and get a new style? Any that you have in mind?
Might I suggest a brief lunch interlude at Pasta Khan Dolan Uyghur? (Attempt 3)
Fuck it why not!
I wish I could second this recommendation. My experience at that restaurant was pretty average. The food was unique, but very meh.
๐ฎ what did you order?
Uyghur
I'm guessing entree was imprisonment and the main was repression.
I hope I'm not on a list now
@Bottom_racer @Force_majeure123 I've tried Uyghur food before โ albeit not at that restaurant โ and it was delicious ๐
I forget what it was called, but it was a dish where noodles were chopped up into little squares, mixed with chopped up veggies, and cooked in a sauce, with a choice of meats (optional if you're vegetarian).

Aw yeee, get on that self-care! A haircut done by a good barber feels so damn nice
Still pinging positive, ugh, gotta reschedule this interview I have then.
Fuck.
How are you feeling?
Much better, not as snotty or sore. My left nostril is still swollen and blocked, but otherwise fine.
Definitely healing. I hope I'm negative by this Sunday, it's my family's April/May birthday bash and I haven't seen the grandparents, aunts'n'uncles, and cousins in a while.
Although... One of my cousins has three kids with an antivaxxer and their kids are unruly and utterly gross. So maybe I "will" still be unwell by then... ๐๐ I really dislike his partner, she's a lovely person, but her "vaccines give kids AuTiSm" spiel really triggers me.
Ugh sorry to vent lol. I'll go if I'm negative, but I'm not gonna take the blame if her kids get sick.
Obviously her kids won't get sick, they have iMunNe sYStEmS and haven't been messed up by all those evil vaccinations. Surely they'd welcome the opportunity to be exposed to an infectious disease to increase their immune system superpowers.
