The zucchini slice is in the oven minus the bacon coz I cbf going to get any.
I took about 5 years worth of e-waste to the tip. And then bought myself a cherry pie to celebrate a tiny bit of adulting.
I look at some children, then I look at their parents and I think to myself you poor bastards you never had a chance.
Seeing perfectly happy and innocent kids be themselves and seeing their drongo dead shit parents kills me inside.
We have tests for driver’s licenses, we should have tests for people becoming parents.
Got an aunt who works in childcare, she says the EXACT same thing.
I’ve got mates who cause of their unresolved issues are fucking up their kids, so they decided to have another kid. Like. um… what?! how about NO guys.
I’m wary of tests.
Pretty sure I have family members who would ace the test because they intellectually know the right answers and can express themselves with authority because they are educated.
But in practice they are not good parents at all because they have shit personalities.
And then there would people who are not very literate or well educated who would stink at a test but who are great parents.
iow, what are we testing and how are we testing?
Test:
Tester: “Do you want kids?”
Testes: “Yes”
Tester: “Wong answer”Honestly I don’t know what we could test. Too many variables. I do think that some kids lose the genetic lottery and are born into shit situations. If we could prevent that, that would be great.
I think to myself you poor bastards you never had a chance
thank you. We’re doing our best but he is a handful. 🤣
It really breaks my heart when I see this. I once saw a woman aggressively screech ‘shut up you cnts’ to her two toddlers crying in a supermarket. Seriously what chance do these kids have? When youth crime is committed, people often comment ‘where are the parents’. Well the parents are deadshits who don’t care and were probably doing the same thing when they were kids. We can’t expect these kids will get help from their families, but no other options for ‘parenting’ are available other than foster care. All you can do is hope that against the odds, as adults they are able to overcome the shitty birth lottery they got, and start a normal life. The ones who succeed are truly amazing.
The problem is even if they manage to live a normal life, they will be missing things most people have.
And because of that, they might find it hard to relate to the average person.
And they don’t have the safety nets either.
I’m so tired and cranky these days. Everything is just a hassle
Why can I only press the upvote button once? I’m mashing the button and the number isn’t going up by more than one…

Hey
Yes?
Ah, bugger. Hope it’s an easy one.
Oh no!
You did all you could. I hope you have few symptoms and a speedy recovery <3
Aw P. Sorry to see this :/
Are you feeling alright?
Thankyou and I feel disgustingly healthy lol no symptoms at all. I almost feel ripped off in a way.
Why?!?
- you have an excuse not to work
- you have enough energy to play some games (or read or do a puzzle or whatever your vibe is)
- it’s not too late to say you’re feeling too tired to do anything and just order Chinese takeout for dinner!
Good points. However, being the Mum and the least sick looking one means 👩🏼⚕️+🫧🧹🧽+👩🏼🍳+🦸🏼♀️+🧞♀️ and whatever else. I really don’t play this stuff very smart do I! 😆
I hope you get to rest and recover well!
Oh noes 🙁. You tried…
:(
Oh damn :(
Hope you aren’t feeling too bad from the symptoms and you get better soon.
Damn, I’m sorry!
ohh :(
Probably inevitable…
Doing my best to avoid it so far. Not much of a life but can’t risk it unfortunately. Hope you get better quickly op.

The food cupboard was jam packed with bread this morning. I grabbed a loaf of bread, a couple of pizza bases (perfect timing, I just used the last one in the freezer) a few rolls which are great for toasties and a couple of fruit danishes. Thank you to Baker’s Delight and all the people that didn’t buy their stuff yesterday.

Ah yes, that must be why.
Nothing but keyboard clicks and a loudly ticking clock. This office is so depressing.
Each to their own I guess, I much prefer a quiet office.
We have a visitor here once every week or so who is one of those people that seems to think silence is a bad thing to be avoided, so it’s -endless- chatter, it’s a nightmare when I’m trying to concentrate.
The odd bit of conversation is fine, but he seems to be deeply offended by silence and it drives us nuts!
Too much babble is bloody annoying, but listening to the day bleed away is it’s own awful
I’d like that compared to everyone wearing headphones and being in random teams meetings all day. Can’t concentrate. Have to wear headphones and play music louder than I’d like.
better than that monster who was playing music off a Bluetooth speaker the other week. Hopefully it means HR have taken them up to the 25th floor and pulled a Russia on them.
Or the people in my office that don’t know the concept of an ‘indoor voice’
Maybe you need to adopt the role of angry office teacher

- It’s always the bloody year 9s
- 44 wasn’t a random number, apparently 44 is the median age of an APS worker. They were the most office based field I could find stats on
I’m 45 and work in Victorian Public Service. I have never felt more average :)

Another day another data compromise. This time it’s the Shebah ride share. At this point any business using name address and dob to verify a person is not good enough security.
I use random passwords for everything so I’m not worried about the password getting out.

Taxi service catered for the female demographic.
Female drivers only and passengers I think.
Oh
clearly a male IT Security team though.
Why do you say that?
It’s what you get after a drunken night out for the trip home

Afternoon brain fog is heavy. Really feel a quick power nap coming up soon.
