    I’ve just eaten almost a whole bag of Doritos and as a consequence am no longer hungry enough to have motivation to cook dinner. Maybe a toasted sandwich will do for today, with some fruit after. Healthy eating starts again tomorrow.

    One of my coworkers came in sick. We are so unbelievably busy and have been in a state of crunch for the last month, and I have leave scheduled for Dragon Age and my partner’s birthday in a week.

    I will be so sad if I catch the horrible hacking cough she’s got, I booked an expensive restaurant and everything

    Another day, another job interview. Two this week, one that felt okay and one that felt pretty good - fingers crossed I get to the next stage with at least one of them!

    Edit: second interview for one lined up for next week, yaaaay.

    Downpipe at the p’s fixed! Took about 2 mintues. Saved a few dollaridoos there.

    A few days ago when I was there I said 'hey I’m going to try and fix it this way". He cracked the shits 'I MAKE THE DECISIONS AROUND HERE". Dude has acute NPD but there are work arounds. So I said okay you do it. So I pissed off down the bellarine… Get a call:

    Me: How’s that pipe going Him: The pipe has fallen 10cm I can’t do it. Getting a plumber in a few weeks.

    I get back, go over today (while he’s away)… Turns out he pulled the down pipe down and it disconnected from the gutter. I chuck it back on try and recreate what he did and he must’ve been trying to climb the thing. Easy fix.

    So now I’m putting a mock invoice in his letter box:

    Call out fee: $200 Labour: $300ph x 0.033 = $10 Materials: 4cm of 100mm PVC: $0.5 Use of toilet: -$1 Stealing a glass of wine: -$9

    He will hate that. Apparently he spent an hour trying to do it.

      He may hate it but admit it, you love it.

      Dunno if you’re AFAB or not but it’s fucking spectacular when you pull this shit on a FIL as a woman XD

    The Gisele Pelicot case really makes my blood boil. All these gutless, horrible men who really do think women are chattel and that their consent means less than a man’s entitlement to pleasure.

      they would treat other men badly too except they only abuse those who are physically weaker than they are

      also, how come Giselle’s doctor didn’t look after her? That puzzles me so much.

      If those complete and utter POSs thought they were taking part in a sex game, then maybe the game wasn’t sex so much as domination, and the whole point was the absence of the power to choose. Which to me indicates a very frail and fragile sense of their own masculinity. The husband should be executed imo. Preferably by lethal injection.

      I just read up on it because I was unfamiliar with the case. Good lord what a poor brave broken woman. The husband admitting guilt is of little comfort. What a hideous POS.

      I read this when it came out. Her husband, I have no words. No consent, the STDs… I am also in awe of her courage. I don’t think I’d be able to even leave a room let alone have contact with people ever again.

        Once.

        I opened Factorio in the morning and then the following morning when my partner got up we agreed that I should never open that game again. At least with Satisfactory I’ve managed to rope my partner in to playing too :D

          I looked at it but didn’t purchase it.

          It scares me just looking at it, hearing your stories of Satisfactory doesn’t fill me with much hope.

            Factorio is far more intense with it being 2D and having regular attacks whilst managing your monstrosity.

            Satisfactory is far more chill and 3D so you can enjoy just exploring, I found a power slug cavern recently and we’re playing spoiler free and learning as we go.

            Planet Crafter is pure chill but the same vibes. That game did more for my mental health than my psychologist haha.

            They’re all really fun and addictive games, and if you can do co-op with someone they’re even better. I’m happy to buy you one of those if you throw me your steam ID so you can at least give one of them a go :)

              Oh that’s so kind of you.

              My Pc’s a potato so I really play games on it anymore and certainly haven’t purchased anything to use on it for a long time.

              I’m mainly a console gamer at the moment due to that.

              I don’t think it’s be right to accept the offer unless I could do justice to it.

                No worries! Let me know if you ever change your mind, I’ve already added the funds to my steam wallet and I’ll only spend it on loot boxes otherwise haha.

                Console gaming is fun too, I actually prefer it for open world RPGs. Whatcha playing atm?

        That was evil lol.

        Joking aside, for the past week and a half I’ve been playing between 8 and 18 hours a day ever day. I knew this game would be both bad and brilliant for my maths loving ADHD brain. Any ways, am awake, therefore must open game.

          As I also have ADHD, and am also an Engineering student, I am get that. I’d be playing more but one, end of sem is here, and Ive been on my bimonthly Terraria binge.

          Harmonize with us. Listen to the rhythm. Live Laugh Consume.

            End of the semester is the perfect time to play! Those assignments can wait, you’ll definitely be able to smash them out the night before the deadline! You got this <3

            Terraria is fun, I prefer Starbound though. Also “Planet Crafter” is incredibly fun if you want something more casual, that game holds a special place in our hearts (we played co-op).

    Tradie next door building houses having what sounds like a meltdown and is shouting loudly. Very good atmosphere for my sister who is WFH and on the phones, and me trying to scramble to finish assignments.

      That was me last week I think or week before in a cafe.

      Like seriously, get some headphones or something if you’re going to watch a video right next to me.

      No word yet? Taking a bit to get the results.

    blerp, case of the anxiety wobbles again today. Didn’t help that today’s viewing got cancelled at the last minute. LL has sent through rental ledger as requested, which is all okay, but it’s pretty dumb that some part of my body now gets extremely tense every time I see her name in my inbox or I have to deal with her. Truly silly.

    I have another viewing tomorrow that ticks lots of boxes but “Inspection is a must” and the sudden advertising of this property does make me wonder what’s going on. Pics look a bit too good to be true. Wondering if it’s a case of suspicious neighbours…
