International Day of Happiness 🤣
i am chilled to the bone
It’s long sleeve shirt day.
Who decides it’s the International Day of (thing)? Not disputing it, just suddenly curious. My zoo calendar regularly says stuff like it’s the International Day of the (fauna) and I wonder who decides it.
The UN decides mostly, when it relates to humanitarian and human achievements, like “International Day of Women Judges”, or “International Day of Zero Waste”, or “International Day of Biological Diversity”.
For international days for [fauna], it depends. Sometimes it’s created by a person who has worked with certain species extensively or by well known advocates, or it is created by animal welfare groups. For example, World Animal Day was created by Heinrich Zimmerman in 1925, a cynologist (dog scientist, simply). Colleen Paige created International Dog Day, Mutt Day, and Pet Day.
Huh. That was pretty comprehensive, thanks for that!
I don’t know, but if anyone plays Bobby McFerrin at me I shall cheerfully eviscerate them. And send the bits to @bacon@aussie.zone for repurposing.
i’m making a 🦴 broth
That is a really good question that I can not help you with. 🤷♀️
I feel like I should make some of them up when there’s no official international day.
Maybe somebody just says it loudly and nobody argues, so it’s official?
Surely it’s a HR stunt somewhere. Three work lunches to decide when International Spatula Day should happen.
Well that was a rapid transition to Autumn. Might have to swap to winter doona next time I do the sheets.
Have to get up really fkn early tomorrow, to start my trial shift at 8am.
I have to catch the tram at approx 6.20am. 😱 least it’s only 4 hours and not a full day lol.
If they accept me, I’ll be asking for Arvo shifts for sure.
Good luck.
I have just realised my car is now 18 years old. Does that mean it is eligible to get its own driver’s license and become a self-driving car?
Finally got some musical inspiration back!!! It’s been over 3 months since I’ve written anything. Fuck it feels good!
wow sugar soap really works
Hits the sweet spot.
To briefly bitch:
What the fuck is the point of paying for delivery if it’s going to end up at a storage facility that’s only open during office hours.
Fuck off Team Global Express and JB Hi-Fi. Not worth the $15 extra I paid for delivery. Was already having a really shite day.
Exterminate.
Haha, I appreciate that mate, actually made my day a little bit
Dear lord today was inteeeense but really good progress and feeling so ecstatic that I can blast through a lot in two days and then… Pack it up and put it away until next week. Realistically this position probably needs 3 days a week but I’m so glad it won’t ever be full time - so I have much more manageable expectations. No need to take any of it home, no need to feel fully invested in it. Go in, punch out what’s needed, maybe make some process improvements, go home. And SUCH a drastic difference in team and management support compared to my old job! Now to follow up on some leads for casual work on the other three days…
I seriously need to figure out a budget for a car though, getting there and back by PT let alone bike is a nightmare, 500x easier by car.
So good to hear it’s going well!!
This is the life
I’m in the bed under a shit ton of blankets with far too many pillows watching some gronk get arrested
If you’re in Adelaide long enough you’ll see it happen in real life!
I spent 6 years in Adelaide and I have to say, the first 2 or 3 weren’t too bad. Then the monotony set in.
I think I’ve seen it happen enough in Melbourne to last a lifetime
Adelaide day! I’m dishevelled, disorganised, and discombobulated. Flights out at 12, gotta be at the old ‘port by 10:30. Lift arranged for 9:30, but I don’t actually have a travel bag, so my clothes are gonna be packed in Coles’ bags until we pick up the worker who’s coming with me who said I can borrow a bag. I haven’t packed anything yet.
Despite not having packed yet, I have been busy all day cleaning. I decided I’d clean up my room so that when I get back I’ve got a nice clean room to crash into, and I also decided to wash my bedding and wardrobe things. So lots of washing, and lots of cleaning. Also decided to clean my toilet and bathroom because hey! That’s more important than making sure I actually have stuff to wear, right??? 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. My bedding still isn’t dry, still got half an hour to go at least.
Oh it’s also been brought to my attention that the gronky security people would probably put most of my things in the bin, because my deodorant, mouthwash, etc, are all “too big”. So I’ll need to buy some in Adelaide
I’m a nervous traveller, in case you can’t tell…
It’s gonna be great and you’ll be ok. Welcome to the big family of people that start random chores instead of packing then panic pack at midnight (I’m much older then you and still do it like this). Your future self will thank you for the clean room!
Have a ball - you’ll be awesome
Welcome to the big family of people that start random chores instead of packing then panic pack at midnight
No please I don’t want
Thanks g, i reckon I’ll probably be mid tier at best, but I’ll try
They don’t care about liquid container size for domestic flights AFAIK. Hope you wake up refreshed and have a seamless flight!
Oh. Hopefully. Thanks J_K, total sleep time was about 4 hours, so I’ll be running on fumes but I should be right
Finally going to sleep. It’s 2:30 now, and 2 things could happen:
- I fall asleep instantly 2: I’m up for another hour trying to sleep
Wish me luck sleeping lemmings
You can get mini bottles to decant most toiletries into from your local $2 shop. Won’t help with deodorant if you use spray, but most other things should work.
Not going to have time for $2 shops before I go unfortunately, but once I get to Adelaide I’ll try to figure it all out
C’mon and join the Adelaide parade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z5X47T1ZhY
Nope you’ve gone too obscure, yo no comprendo tu referencia

Thank you. The bones are just a bit too crunchy this early in the morning.
(can someone fill me in on what’s happening with bones?)
🦴
No bone, no bone
Boned by bacon is TheThing!
force ordered bonless. now today’s theme has become bones
🍗
Ah. Thanks sugar
🦴🍎🫖
I suppose a good bone is out of the question

Hehe. I bet googling that would be unwise.
Total sleep was 4 hours, and today’s going to be the most intense and active of the trip. They hired some drongo gardener to start cutting the lawn at 7:05am for some stupid bloody reason so I lost out on 30 extra mins of sleep. Also waking up when it’s 12° is very hard and difficult and this is why I’m gonna pack up my shit and move to marble bar at the earliest opportunity
You’ll be ok Baku. Once you’re on the plane you’ll start to get excited and your adrenalin will kick in. Make sure you take some gum with you and chew it on take off and landing. Have a great time in Adelaide.
Good idea. If I find some at the airport that isn’t extortionately priced I will buy
Once you’re on the plane you can have a snooze. I’m a chronic non-sleeper myself the night before a flight, always get nervous I’ll miss it! Happens to lots of people, nothing to worry about. Airport is full of bleary eyed people stumbling through. Hopefully all goes smoothly for your trip!
I’m one of those people that can’t sleep in public. I can never fall asleep on trains, trams, planes, buses, etc. I don’t even fall asleep in cars
Just looked at tonight’s low temp - and for the next week. Time to put the doona back on the bed after summer I think.
oh great i get rained on i guess i need to be careful what i wish for
It was well below expectations.
Please request more rain.
