No one in my team was in the office today so I had a sneaky extended lunch break to pick up my Rock Pi. I might try Home Assistant on it if there's a working image.

Loads I could be doing at work but my brain Just. Doesnโt. Want. To.
Felt so cranky that I even went and sat in my car in my lunchbreak so that no one could talk to me.
Pretty sure itโs the weatherโs fault! Might go for a swim tonight and see if that cheers me up at all.
I feel that. Sometimes you feel like there's so much you should be doing that you do nothing. Or you end up working on the least important thing. Or you're getting things done but it doesn't feel like you're getting anything done.
Argh, supervisor has already done a very quick review of thesis. I'm way too brain dead to look at it today and take on the emotional damage - I'm going to go to bed early tonight and have another crack tomorrow morning before prepping for the preso in the afternoon. Apparently I still do need to add more references and beef up the discussion but I also kind of don't wannaaaaaa. I'm so done with reading dense academic articles about stuff I don't really care that much about...
I don't want to cook. Venturing into the wet ... in my Purple Wooly Cape!
just a heads up for those into That Sort of Thing: Bunnings are tossing out the TPlink p100 and P150 smart sockets for 16 each, and yes they are fully compatible with home assistant and can run offline once you've set them up.
Just don't try to find them at the moorabbins bunnings, someone already cleared them out.
cough.
I just picked up a couple of these myself. The 4 pack is $60, so a little cheaper again if you know you'll use them.

Pray for me this afternoon when I'm outside.
Hail! So much excitement today.
Taking my books back to the library. I may spend the afternoon reading on the sofa
That sounds like a perfect rainy afternoon!
It's warmed up to a barmy 8C here, beating the forecast high of 7C. Luckily I have a roaring fire and I am toasty.
That looks lovely, enjoy!
Fire drill! Yay paid time off work
drill is sad :(
Between the weather and not nearly enough sleep I'm completely phoning it in today. Fuck me I don't know why they insist on cracking the window open slightly while having the reverse cycle on in the office, I get that it's stuffy but this is really defeating the purpose
Stops the windows from fogging up.
Lattouf v ABC judgment this morning at 10:15. Unfortunately while ABC has come out of this looking terrible, I suspect they are probably right to be feeling a little less nervous at the outcome than Antoinette Lattouf.
Wow, almost a clean sweep in her favour.
My manager is giving me the silent treatment.
Jesus christ lol
I've got a meeting with the CEO this afternoon to have a casual chat. A meeting I requested. So let's see how this plays out.
I can't understand people like that and how they even end up as managers. Such shitty behaviour. Hope your casual chat goes well!
I resigned from a job yonks ago and the whole senior leadership team of the not-particularly-big org gave me the silent treatment for my whole notice period. I was pretty junior and they'd been treating me like shit, it can't have been surprising that I was leaving. Such strange people. It was very primary school.
Good luck with the meeting! And with the job hunting!
omg, how old are these people?
I'm gonna guess no older than 12
Actually, my 12 year old cousin has more maturity than that
So lower it to 7 or 8
I don't get how adults can be so catty.

It is a porridge morning
Alarm! Alarm! Nothing on Vic Emergency. No fucking clue, upsetting everybody
it was Seagoon burning the onions again
Ah bugger, forgot my lunch in the hustle of getting the kids ready for school ๐ AND missed the bus ๐
First time ever YL left the house and then ran back in. Why. Because she forgot her glasses which she wears permanently. Literally can't see without them.
Iโm so tired. Baby is still crying at night. Iโve ordered some more d mannose in the hope it might flush out her little bladder.
Ps. Thereโs apparently a high tide warning for Melbourne this morning so people in places like Port Phillip or coastal might want to be careful
is it possible it's not physical distress, but Cat Things? Misha went nuts last night, the weather had her all hepped up and then she wandered around the house loudly voicing her dissatisfaction for a couple hours. Unfortunately she uses the same call for genuine distress, tantrums and boredom
No, this is extremely out of character for her, often associated with the litterbox, and has been going for at least a week or two. Sheโs a very quiet stoic cat who barely ever made a squeak and now she sounds distraught.
My Pepper was especially spicy last night too. Took it out on the other cats.
Today Misha Wants To Play
considering misha usually treats everyone and everything else in the house with thinly veiled contempt and random violence, there is some confusion.
I agree. Windy weather like drives cats crazy. It's all the movement of leaves and all the odd noises.
My plans of working next to the fireplace got nixed.
Due to unforseen circumstances I'm in a local office (that I can drive to) and two managers owe me huge favours.
At least it's warm here.

Apple Strudel, please!

Can I please have a filo pastry cheese and spinach pie, artfully folded like the finest fitted double sheet?

An apple turnover
Apple turnovers are my fav apple dessert. Must be made with granny smith apples with a slight crunch. Yum.
But if you turn it over, what is on the other side?
apple turnover
More apple
and more turnover
