Goooood morning! Happy friday! My last Friday in my current role 🥳🥳🥰
Congrats. 😘🍾
🎉 Make sure it’s half arsed.
Woooooo!!! 💪
Chill is back in the air. On the way to a moooovie (MIFF film) even though I have this assignment to do… But I wouldn’t have gotten anything done tonight anyway as it’s been a big day at work… I think my guilt/anxiety over the assignment is what’s caused me to have nasty dreams of teenage woes (had another dream after the one of my mum screaming, with an uncle telling me I wasn’t allowed to watch Suits. Which is weird as I’ve never been interested in watching it anyway and that uncle was relatively lenient)
It’s okay to have a bit of a life outside of work and uni 😩 can’t sustain my psyche otherwise…
In good news though, I passed my probation at one of my jobs today and got a 9% pay bump (they kind of tend to lowball in the first 3 months then do more after. Even my boss admitted it was “embarrassing” what I’d been paid so went beyond the upper range of what I was thinking). The annual equivalent is the highest I’ve ever been paid in my life so far - would finally take me past the PHI tax threshold lol - and it is so much cruisier than my previous job, so I am feeling pretty chuffed about that. 🥂
edit: I also negotiated one day less per fortnight so I kind of end up the same financially but with more time so that’s not so bad at all 😎
Congratulations 🎉
Yasss! For the win! 🥃
Yay. That’s awesome news!
Congrats, that’s wonderful!
Nicely done!
Could the media please shut the fuck up about Raygun. Please let this story die.
Happy Friday everyone 🎉
Quiet night tonight but I don’t mind some music and gaming time.
Hope everyone has a great night ❤️
Happy Friday Simon. Have a good one. 🍺
Fantastisch!!
Must tell us. What game are you planning to play?
I’m playing cult of the lamb. It’s really a nice mix of chilling out and some occasional action.
Bad nightmare taking me right back to my teen years being screamed at by my mother over trivial things… The sense of fear and feeling trapped woke me right up :( not now, brain.
Oh no. hugs.
I hope you do some nice things for yourself today.

They came out to install that gate thing yesterday, which took me by surprise. They did say it would be installed this week, but I didn’t believe them. But then it happened, so that’s cool I guess.
Unfortunately they didn’t install any electrics or motors for it, and it’s on a fairly steep hill, so it just opened itself every time I tried to close it. I was able to find some old bed slat thingies and wedge those between the gate and the fence. Looks ghetto AF, but it worked and provided some safety.
Unfortunately today they came out to try and install a motor, but they forgot a part or something so it doesn’t actually… Motor. Unfortunately in the process, they’ve put it on same chains and gears that can’t be moved when the motor is off. So now I can’t actually close it.
They’ll come to install it some stage next week, but it basically leaves me in the same position as I was 2 days ago over the weekend. And I can once again enjoy the constant baseline anxiety of old mate coming back again.
It has now been 39 days since I returned and had to deal with all of this garbage.
Edit: I should be fair to them. In 39 days they’ve purchased 1 security camera
I just ate a cheese kransky in a baguette with hot english mustard and t-sauce having a radox bath… and… i’m fundamentally a different person now.
I did not expect that on the bucket list… it will remain permanently on the bucket list I’m not crossing it out.
What’s t-sauce?
Edit: Oh… Tomato sauce. I am not a smart man
There’s probably a law somewhere saying tomato sauce on a kransky is a big no no.
Do you cut the ends off your baguette?
I do :(
good, that’s how the French have them 👍

if we didnt we wouldnt feel our feelings, and we wouldnt get better! -signed the bloke who REFUSES to learn this lesson IRL
Feeling feelings hurts, but in the end it’s necessary to grow.
Sometimes we just need a big ugly day-long cry.
Sadly, I’ve inherited the bloated face that lasts two days as a reward for my ugly crying tears.
Worst super power ever.
Got tea bags or a cucumber?
Over the years, I’ve done all the things.
Reduces somewhat, but I still look like:
Just not as cute.
Sympathy! I too turn into an utter PuffTroll if I cry. Embarrassing.
Commiserations. It’s the absolute worse if you have to work.
I just can’t cry elegantly. Quite annoying, really. 😂
What are feelings? I’m only aware of a constant low level sense of dissatisfaction lol
especially with ourselves, right?
Abso fucking lutely
hugs 😘
I’M FREE BITCHES

The man goes back to work on Monday so it’s like the closing ceremony.
Chin chin 🍻
Also, here’s to Force’s last day drinks!
To you 🍺 and @Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 🍺
That’s actually Wednesday. Today was my last Friday. Still working Monday to Wednesday 😞
Oops. Well, it’s the countdown to your last day (not long to go!), and we’re rehearsing
One of us needs to remember this for Wednesday and I nominate you.
Ha! You’re asking a menopausal woman to remember something?
(Lucky I’m the queen of lists)
This made me laugh because I’m forever talking to myself “where’s me list. Where’s me list” while I search for my jotter.
Cheers
Sames 🍺
gasp
You’ve mastered it!
I know!! Go me!! Baby steps.
Cheers!

As wrecked as I’ve been this week thanks to starting on Wegovy, I’ve booked myself a room up in Beechworth for tomorrow and it’s non-refundable so that will force me out of my apartment. I’ll pop into the Billson’s brewery tomorrow afternoon and then chill tf out on the room balcony which overlooks some pretty countryside.
Sunday I’ll get up early, go and spend some time looking at Woolshed Falls then drive to Yackandandah and finally see it. I’ve lined up a place to grab a coffee and breakfast there.
That’s as far as I’ve gotten. As always plans are subject to change (besides the accommodation) because I’m free to do what I want any old time.
Billsons went into admin so hope you snag some bargains.
I love Beechworth. I have stories but not right now because I’m pissed.
Sounds lovely!
Happy Friday 🙂
I’m sitting in front of this now. I can’t seem to get up.
God help me.

Don’t eat all the apricot and apple or you’re going to have a bad time
I had a good go over the apple rings, so yummy and some cupcakes.
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire
The ring of fireeeeIt’s more shitting through the eye of a needle biz.
Rain is here , I rushed out to get the chair in. 😹
I went outside to bask in the petrichor
It’s glorious
there is something wonderful about it, yes 🙂
Only appropriate in very particular circumstances. Very primal and optimistic
Winter is nearly done and spring is in the way
Just a little bit longer and I can have a drink, fark me 💀
I wonder what the Friday evening teacher did? Surely it’s punishment! What a horrible time.
She’s a professor not directly employed by my institution, I think it’s because she does other work and this is the only time she can spend teaching us these modules. I don’t think it’s a punishment, just the nature of her schedule.
Just makes for a long-ass day 💀
