Made a thread for tomorrow :)
Just finished the first episode of British Bake Off and was good.
oh noes, I just did too. I’ll delete mine.
thank you, 😘😘
Good night , sweet dreams
The one time I made one, it was two minutes after you had already made it. 🤫
Traffic was awful heading to my social sports training tonight, but had fun once I finally got there. Hadn’t been for a few weeks. There’s just some days I need to be around a group of people. Made the drive worth it.
I wish my boys could talk a bit more. Something was bothering one of them tonight and he couldn’t get to sleep, I wish he could tell me what it was
Depending on their ages, they sometimes lack the vocabulary to put their feelings into words, especially if they’re new feelings or sort of vague feelings or worries. It’s frustrating because it’s hard to know what prompts to give to get them talking. Sounds like you’re doing the right thing and you’re there for them and they know that, that’s all you can do sometimes.
Their speech was always going to be delayed because they’re twins. One is putting together two word sentences pretty consistently now and the other understands everything but doesn’t talk as much.
I’ve put together some flashcards using the program Anki and it has really helped them start recognising things and saying a few words
Tom is the best dad , along with all the other dads here. I’m sure once they can they will talk. 🙂
First class survived. Don’t think I made a tit of myself. Making friends seems unlikely though.
I’m stoned, a little faint after changing the bandage (just a non-stick one held one with normal bandaids lol) so lying on the couch. I’m such a pussy when it comes to my own body - I can watch and even help with wounds, but when it’s my wound… Ugh!
Got a bag of twisties though! #winning
Oh bummer. Hope you’re not too out of sorts.
Are you busy at the moment?
I’m alright :) just hate seeing my own blood haha
I’m not particularly busy:) why?
Just going to send you a PM
Ordered pizza, watch some TV then bed I think. May as well speed up the time till the meeting tomorrow.
Goodnight everyone ❤️
You’re gonna be alright friend :) 💜
Starting piano / guitar lessons on Thursday. By that, I mean I am alternating between instruments until I pick one. Thinking of going with piano because I learnt it as a kid, but am considering guitar for something different, and also I wanna be a rockstar.
Nah, not a rock star. Too much pressure and it takes over your life. You can never do normal stuff again.
You want a single smash one hit wonder that gives you enough to live it up for a year, before you invest $10 Million or so. Then retire into obscurity living very comfortably off your investments for the rest of your life. 5% of $10 Million is an annual allowance of $500k.
If you do want a lasting career, you want someone with the wealth and lifestyle, but not the fame. Someone like Dianne Warren or Max Martin. You can walk safely down the Street and nobody knows who you are. The only circles you’re famous in are rock stars and movie directors.
Or a song that gets picked up for a tv theme or ad, then you get lots of ongoing royalties.
They’re quite complementary instruments so you may end up sticking with both, even if you only pay for lessons for one
Mixed some midori with some fruit juice. Not too bad.
Now I need ice cubes.
Yep, it was that sort of a day.
Noice
Midori and lemonade is a classic drink. Grab a bottle next time you’re at Aldi.
Yeah. Will do that next time though rate I’m going I might need a new bottle of midori too.
4 hours of karaoke. Mostly friend screaming. I am dead.
Like a goood dead or a bad dead?
Neutral dead.
One of my clients got pissed off at the slow pace of their projects, and decided to bring in a 3rd party “project partner”. Tomorrow I’m having a “conversation” with Senior Leadership Team. I have a real bad feeling I’m about to be scapegoated for the failures of the project team because the project team manager is besties with my manager. I hate this feeling so fucking much.
I know exactly how that feels. We’re here for you if you need it
I appreciate it man. Let’s see how it plays out. It’d suck to be looking for a new job a few days before my birthday.
I’m OK money wise for a while, but I don’t think I can do another 6 months without a job.
Let’s hope things don’t happen that fast. Even if they do, the job market is weirdly hot this time of year.
My boys’ birthday is this Saturday as well so I get how you feel. I think you’ll be able to ride it out until past Christmas
Day 2 of meal replacement done. ✅
I guzzled the appropriate amount of water on Sunday and Monday, as my vein gushed a tad yesterday lol. First time 'round last year, the machine kept beeping because my pressure was low, because I didn’t eat or drink enough.
This time, I filled that bag up quicksmart! Had a Nippy’s Iced Coffee and some potato chips after. But yeah, now my elbow-pit is rather sore, I keep catastrophising and think it’s still bleeding and I don’t want to look, as it was when I changed the dressing yesterday (3 hours afterwards).
But! No complaints! Follow the directions and drink heaps of water!
Edit: actually, the only complaint is the bruise on my left middle finger from the haemoglobin test. I forget how much the tips of the fingers are used until one is sore 😅
Yay go you!!
here, take some lemmy medals 🎖️🎖️🎖️
They’re putting in the hard work collecting it all 🙌🏼 I just go in when they text me that they want my blood type haha although, the nurse there said that my vein is real big so I should consider plasma donations.
Can do it more often, and they need people with big fat veins to handle the blood being back in when they seperate the plasma. 🤷🏼♀️ I should rack up my donation numbers lol
I have watered the garden. Expect a cloudburst.
It’s now spitting where I am…
Can you get it to hold off for 1/2 hr? Gotta walk to catch a tram
Will do my best.
Success! Thank you
A witch! A witch!
Some people just suck all the air in meetings. Dude, shut the fuck up and let someone else talk!!!
Oh my God we had someone like this at my old workplace and he was just insufferable. In the field, in meetings, just never knew when to stfu with his bad takes. Nobody liked him. Claimed he had ASD but after a certain point it’s like no, you’re a jerk with ASD. Definitely glad we don’t have anyone like him where I work now
Do they also start with, “in my experience”?
Really bad end to the day even if it only lasted for 10-15 mins.
Not looking forward to seeing how the rest of the time goes until I go on break.
Hopefully the steps put in place for the future will prevent future altercations from occurring.
Nothing like dealing with someone who thinks the way to solve problems is to enact revenge and thinking that’s the right way of doing things.
revenge? There are people like that in the business world? That is crazy.
That’s cos the game is not ‘getting the work done’, the game is ‘being top dog’. I agree with melba that this goes nowhere good. Put on your own oxygen mask first. Good to know that steps are being taken.
Oh that goes nowhere good.
Maybe you’d like to secretly take notes of/document/bcc every single thing you can and perhaps polish your resume just in case
I reported everything and some steps are being put in place.
It’s not my safety that I’m worried about but I do have to deal with the stubbornness and attitude which makes is very unpleasant to end the day.
I just meant if they try to undermine you or hassle you out of the job.
I know how you feel, fingers crossed it gets sorted
Oh no, that sounds really miserable… hope this person pulls their head in soon. I hate it when one person can ruin your whole day. When will you be going on break?
On break from the 20th of Dec and hopefully wont have to deal with them after that forever.
Argh, still a while to go. Hang in there, it’s good that at least you know you have a hard end date with this person
