Shout out to SES, tree crews, powerline workers and everyone else who was hammered by the storms yesterday and are continuing the cleanup today. With special thanks to the cop directing traffic on Burwood Hwy/Springvale Rd in peak hour yesterday. Trying to control that many cars must be a nightmare!
Yes! Huge mental maths problem, but I am oddly fond of the giant white gloves.

I went to a job interview yesterday. It finished at 4 and I didn't get home until 6. In that time my girlfriend and mother in law picked up the kids from childcare.
They let the kids be unrestrained in the car park, so one of my boys decides to run off. The MIL is chasing him, hysterical. She has a bad knee so she can't run. My girlfriend was putting the other boy in the car so she couldn't respond straight away. God, what if something happened.
I usually handle pickup because I work from home, and this had never happened to me. I know we'd make things work if I need to fund another job but I still just don't know what we'll do if things don't work out today.
Yikes. Simple mistake to make I guess. Time we all learn about traffic safety.
The boys know to stop at a road when crossing. I think we'll need to teach them carparks count as the road

Used my mouth guard last night, and chewed the ever loving shit out of it. So I have a headache still, taken some ibuprofen.
Also seem to have caught a cold? So avoiding class today. Annoying, but I should be able to catch up on my prac next week.
What a load of poop

I want what ever is in the coffee at the metro control center. The “goooodmorning everyone!” Was exceptionally singsong and chipper this morning. Gale, it’s not even 7am. Love the enthusiasm but gonna need you to dial it back from a 12 to a 6 or a 7 max.
Is there still that excessively cheerful guy on the Cragieburn line who gives weather reports & recipes?
Nah this is an announcer or Pakey/Cranbourne. She’s our usual one, usually a bit curt if anything. Dunno if someone complained but it’s just odd now.
I do not like this snot present from Boyo.
Like it I do not.
Snot nice
Trying to prod the instances along… posted a ‘what’s free this month in Melbourne’ but deleted it for obvious reasons. I’ll wait a day for it to update for September and post again.
My love is free this month 🥰
But really... next month I'm charging
Damn, inflation is really affecting everything
Post your rates on the fridge door. tyvmia
Kick her in the guts Barry.
That's a bit harsh.
Good night every one. Sweet dreams. Love you all. 😘
Sweet dreams!
