Geez this stranded astronaut thing is a schmozzle. They are doing a lot of ‘everything is fine’ PR, but it must be stressful to be stuck up there, and I’m sure there are some very tense discussions being had.
I feel really sorry for them, they certainly didn’t sign up for this. It reminds me of Sergei Krikalev, the guy who was stuck in space while the Soviet union collapsed and the country that sent him into space no longer existed.
I want to know why my very top lemon, at least 2.something metres up was eaten by something (guessing a rat) and they ignored the many lower ones. Is it sport? showing off? Big respect but that would not have been easy.
Fruit bat.
Ooh could be. I always suspected a possum, then rats and now a new culprit.
They eat the high up fruit
Funny bones ain’t that funny when you scrape one across a door frame. I was carrying my recycle box back inside and I’m like “DON’T THROW IT. DON’T THROW IT”.
I’m having an unbelievably hard time of life. I’m just not getting a break.
Melbcat is feeling more comfortable with adequate pain relief though, ate some wet food and is cuddling. I’m waiting for Tuesday and counting down to receiving the antibiotics
🫂
I’m sorry Melb, lots of hugs and fingers crossed for you and melbcat
🫂
many hugs and kisses
and if you ever need anything just drop a line

I was surprised by the Wattle Festival and just the sheer size of it yesterday. We only did part of the main street of Hurstbridge and we hardly got to the whole thing.
I was going to go last year - they were running steam train specials out to Hurstbridge. Don’t know if they did that this year. Unfortunately we missed our train which made us miss the other trains and it wasn’t possible to recover from, even though it was a shuttle train
Yes, they had the steam train out again. I might try to get the kids on there next year because they were getting tired around 11 and we had afternoon plans. We got to see it leave before we headed off at least
8.5 hours straight with no lunch break (by my own choice because I didn’t want to spend even longer outside). Ugh, I had hoped it would be a short day today - it was easy at least, mostly support for someone else and driving - but just a lot of time standing around not working on my assignment, while my brain and guts are in stress overdrive again. I’m glad that my work now ends when I leave, but whose bright idea was it to reintroduce ongoing stress with uni!!!
I’m going to just eat and lie down for a bit before I attempt to do any uni stuff. I’m 70% of the way there. Just need to skim through enough articles to cite them appropriately…
I just saw this. I haven’t used Zotero but the Lemmy nerds recommend it https://mander.xyz/post/17175983
as an academic, zotero is absolutely the way to go.
Endnote does a job, but is comparatively slow, clunky and huge as a program - not to mention expensive, if you don’t have institutional access.
Even WITH institutional access to endnote, I use zotero and pay for syncing myself.
It’s the last week of the month. If you want to change jobs now is a great time to apply for roles coming up to 14 days old
Why is that the case?
Recruiters’ commission is monthly and job ads are usually up for 2 weeks. Applying for something that’s going to close soon now means they’ll try extra hard to place you before the month ends.
looks like a nice day to go out for a bit
luv youse all 😘 have a nice arvo
You too mate 👍
this week my old printer is going to the electronic rubbish bin 👋
Vet just called - as before, nothing detected in the external examination and nothing in the blood tests. They’re going to x-ray her and if nothing shows up on that, organise an ultrasound. Also they’ll give her fluids and an anti nausea injection since she has been vomiting on and off since Thursday.
so many gentle hugs and good wishes
Thank you 😊
You wish they could just tell you what’s going on.
You do 😕
Any improvement Sammi had was minimal, so I phoned the vet and they’ve admitted her for observation and further tests (including hopefully an abdominal ultrasound).
Cross fingers for us.♥ 🤞

Good lord. Spotify free version doesn’t even let me play a single song I want to hear, just a playlist that includes it. What a disaster
I never joined and don’t listen . Once last.fm died as a music player I gave up enrolling and getting subs and apps
Android? There’s a few modded Spotify clients floating around. I used to use one back before I had pocket money.
I’ve actually been considering going back to one in priest, cause they don’t consider high school students to be friends. I was annoyed but not downright pissed about that. But I checked if my new course would land me the student pricing, but nah, they either don’t consider TAFE students to be students, or don’t consider my school to be a TAFE
I can afford normal Spotify, so perhaps I’m not in the target demographic, but it just annoyed me that they keep pushing their discounts in my face and then at the last minute being like “jokes! You don’t count.”
This TAFE course seems pretty fun. The wifi signal down this end of the house is abysmal though, and because the repeater I had laying around needs LoS to the router, it doesn’t actually help at all.
I was meant to do a janky under house ethernet setup today but the person I had convinced to crawl into the spiders lair (aka under the house) is sick. As soon as I do I swear I’m setting up a janky mesh network
Anyway the course seems nice. I like the diversity. There’s more people around my age than I thought there’d be, as well as a few older people. The trainer gives off nice but stern aunty vibes too, but seems sweet
Also also, every time I have to meet new people, I’m always astounded by how close my mental pictures are. Just through 1-2 emails and their name and role, I can usually figure out what they’ll look like before I ever actually meet them. It’s like a party trick at this point
LOL that’s hilarious. There is actually that stray cat that everyone thinks is a massive chonker, but is actually just really floofy. It seems happy to go wherever if there’s a bit of ham involved, maybe that’s a solid idea!
I just finished. It was nice. I still don’t really know wtaf I’m doing, and feel rather out of place, but there’s a bit of an uncontrollable smile on my face at the moment
