Melbourne

I made scones. Cheese, pepper & chives and pumpkin & chilli flakes. All very delicious. I'm tired now.

I love how TPG try to stop you from accessing piracy websites, and it takes 1 min to circumvent their protection.

The Remuneration Tribunal that determines the wages of Victorian politicians has just released it's determination. The government which has a policy that govt. sector employees should have wage rises capped at 3% has just been awarded 3.5% raises for themselves.

Dinner report part 2.

As I wrote below bro has been in hospital and he really is poorly, no denying that, even hypochondriacs get sick. Husband's mother was there, she's elderly now, and she was complaining she was so tired from visiting bro in hospital everyday. It's a 45 min drive there .

I got 🙄 and reminded her the doctors told her to only visit every second day. She was so angry that she couldn't play victim. I do not care, I don't think the others did either.

She asked if she could take food home, I gave her the scrapings off her own plate and put them in an old washed take away container. She didn't get a carry bag either. She doesn't get meals to take home anymore , not after her slanderous games.

I just do. not. care.

Just back from Brunswick and popped into some opshops. Not one stripe jumper on the racks anywhere. All gone.

Now that it's July, I'm seeing so many users with a cake next to their name because of how many people joined in June and july after reddit banned 3rd party apps

I thought I’d check out the tax return forms just got fun but the ATO website is being smashed at the moment.

Anyway I can’t lodge it till I get the pre fill information uploaded by various places.

Don’t imagine I’m going to get much back this year if last year was anything to go by.

Finished the dual screen and dock setup. One work laptop is STILL a bit dicey with the dual screens and I can 100% confirm it's a shitty usb-c port.

My original Metabox laptop though... it's getting onto 6 years old, the dock connects to one screen only but not two. Realised the internal AND external graphics drivers basically haven't been updated since the laptop was bought, yikes), so I've updated those but no dice.

I can sense myself using this to procrastinate on all sorts of other things so... one monitor is better than none. Onwards...

slipped on a wet floor and fell face first towards the hardwood dining table. my hand managed to catch the side of the table with about 10cm to spare before I smashed my forehead. Suspect with the speed it woulda at least knocked me out. Sad to report I neither saw the light nor had my life flash before my eyes.

Trampoline dude wanted to go on a date. I did not. We are not talking anymore. He only wants to talk to me for romantic purposes it seems.

I'm sad to lose what we had. We had a similar music taste and bounced music off of one another. He also played the game I was obsessed with as a child.

Gratitude thread

I'm grateful for the lollies at work today. Also grateful for the heater and going to see friends later.

I'm starting off the new financial year with pay day today. A bit of a tax cut and a sliver more Super. If the new EBA gets through there will be a pay rise in a couple of months. Not enough to keep up with the CPI increases of the last couple of years but it's nice to be finally closing the gap a bit.
