I'm doing an open day trial at a co-working space today as I seriously need to get out of the house at least one day during the week, full time WFH gets super monotonous and negatively affects my mood. As sad as this sounds, I was excited today to get dressed up and leave my house on a work day. The office I'm at is new and super nice, if a bit loud. It's nice to be around people during work time but nobody doing the trial (I think we're all sitting in the same area) is talking to one another? I'm not sure it's worth paying to use a co-working space where I just keep to myself, I can do that at home for free. I need to suss whether the place organises networking opportunities for members to mix, to make a membership worth it.

Arborist consult done and trees severely haircut. Now for the slab repair dude.
on a related note, if anyone wants pear wood or apple wood for smoking, HMU. You will need to dry it yourself.
Also carving spoons. What general area would we need to collect from?

apple and pear make beautiful inlay for marquetry and turning and is quite rare
so maybe put it on FB for woodworkers 👍

September is the month to try wake up early and enjoy brighter mornings before daylight saving in October takes them away again
Daylight savings is a lie! Why do you lie? It makes the cows confused!!! - a random complainer to CSIROs customer service (source: my dad works for them 😂)

Why do universities insist on group assignments?
I got out of mine by being unwell last week, so I did it by myself today 😅
To break you, keep you sleep deprived and lower your scores in other subjects.
It's absurd that you can work your ass off and have your mark lowered because of someone else.

Is the average teenage population really have a lack of respect?
Appointment booked for 7.30pm last night. Quick c++ basics lesson and homework help as a favour for my wife's classmate's kid. I never used c++ by trade so I spent some time getting familiar with it, and how to play Farkle.
7.30pm comes and the 17yo just bails and says they're having dinner, no apology. Wife and I were like, fuck it, dumped the appointment and went to sleep at 8pm.
Sent another message this morning reminding them to be there or cancel 4hr before, some notes and a reminder that they don't have enough time now, and don't chicken out. Straight up says they promise, no greetings.
They did go through a few years of covid that probably fucked them up in ways like this. You could let them know their tone seem unappreciative of being given a tutoring favour. Mind you, I'd've thought there was enough online about learning C++ in a self directed manner so maybe the kid just isn't interested. Don't measure all 17yo's by Baku's level of maturity.
I didn't directly use Baku as a reference.
But I did have Overwatch friend, so mature I thought they were 25, until they mentioned they suddenly mentioned that they were 15 at the time. So that was the baseline I had since then.

You won't have manners if they are not taught to you.
I was traumatised to the point of enforcing them lol.

Nope. Message 'em back and say "Sorry no longer able to assist you". If they ask why just be blunt "Mate, you were disrespectful as heck, I was helping you as a favor, if your gonna be rude then I dont have to do shit"

Lack of consequences is also part of it.
If they got charged for not cancelling in time they'll learn real fast.

Oh my word.. so I have all of the flavours of shakes from https://healthyweightforlife.com.au/ and this morning I'm having "tropical banana" except I have been a little cheeky this morning and made it with milk instead of water, but still blended in some ice too.
It is legitimately a good shake. Not even 'good for a meal replacement shake' it's actually good. It tastes like a Barney Banana.
next time I am bedridden with sciatica I am def doing this
It tastes like a Barney Banana.
Well I'm sold.
New car day, yay!
Aww yiss! What is this new car?
Scored an i30n, very fun zoomy car!
My brother has one and they are a lot of fun. Set everything to comfort and the exhaust to Sport Mode and you can sound like a feral beast just driving around normally
Ooooh, good tip, thank you!
Oooh, they have those cars at most child protection or NGO offices! They are indeed very zoomy
It was funny doing the drive up to eildon with a crazy worker in the little zipbox. Also did the great Ocean road in a Kia carnival which was funny, but it's not as fun when it takes like 10 seconds to go past 40!
The powder blue colour?!
Nah, it's white (for now).
206 killer wasps?? Zoomy INDEED!! Enjoy!
Sah excited for the zips!
Off for a drive in the country today. Fingers crossed I can still get petrol at under 190c this afternoon when I need to fill up. I do have a lock on 180c at 7/11, so if it has a massive jump I can at least get the 25c discount. These 40c+ jumps suck.
Use petrolspy!
Got it for $1.59 last Friday in Truganina. Well, not me, but a support worker I was with. She had a 4 cents off at Ampol so decided to go to that one which was at $1.59, rather than the one down the road at $1.58, since the discount thingy should bring it down to $1.55. But then they told her they didn't accept them at this store! Ridiculous

I’ve seen under 170c per litre around lately, I’d be re-locking. Just used my app, found 164.9/l. When I was in NZ petrol was almost $3/l! We have it good.
