Did someone spike the chocolate with stupid pills?
I have had so many people this week who are either unable to comprehend basic information, dispute stated facts with irrefutable evidence or just don’t fucking read.
These are people who I dealt with last week who were cogent, alert and knew exactly what was happening and how things worked.
I can understand it happening on Tuesday when everyone came back to work and were still in holiday mode, but it is now three days later.
It took me a few goes to dial the right number the other day.
Yeah. I’m like that quite often too. Phone keypads and numeric keypads are upside down.
Often I just copy/paste or type the number into my VoIP phone app on my computer, especially after the third failed attempt.
But what we have dealt with this week is just a whole new level of stupid. I have had a few AITA moments wondering if I am having too-high expectations of customers, but when my colleagues concur that the customer is a dead-set cock-head, I feel vindicated.
I wish I’d stop switching between hobbies/projects as fast as I do, I feel like I end up wasting so much money. I start working on a project, order some of the stuff I need, spend hours researching it, and then by the next month I’m already in another hobby hole and start ordering things for that. It’s an absolute curse. I’ve got so much crap I got specifically for a project just lying around
It’s not even because I properly lose interest in them, it’s because I find something else I want to do and being more recent it sits further up in my mind. The net result is rather than having 5 completed projects I’ve got 25 only barely started ones
My problem with this is having things come up and not getting back to them for a while, which then just never happens. I don’t get to work on things enough to make a habit and get momentum
It’s normal to have many projects on the go at the same and at all different levels of completion. NORMAL.
Work on the ones you feel inspired to work on that day.
Fuck where does this expectation and guilt about art come from? School probably.
But every artist I know has lotsa stuff on the go all the time.
I went to IKEA for the first time today. My good it’s a bloody hoot! I love it. I got the Swedish meatballs with jam and a blahaj (I’ve wanted one for yearrrrssss)
Baku ♥️ IKEA
Starting Cyberpunk 2077.
That game is perfectly suited to pressing my “happy chemical” buttons.
I had to delete it in the end. I was dreaming about it lol
It’s certainly pretty cool so far.
You are in for a treat! I love that game so much!!
Went for the most amazing drive down Glenburnie Road last night. A hill climb, a massive dip, a sudden roundabout which lead to a twisting descent.
And the fog, it caught people’s high beams as they would come up crests in front of you. Such a great drive
Thank you for the encouragement and motivation to quit, I appreciate the support immensely and sincerely 😭💜💜
For those who asked: I use patches and an inhalator. Today, I signed up for QuitMail and cried to Quitline and made a proper plan to follow.
Again, seriously, thank you. I’m so grateful to be a part of this community, full of all of you beautiful humans 💜💜💜
You can do it!
We’re all here rooting for you. 😐
You can do it!!!
You can do it!
If you’re ever finding it near impossible: you can buy a cheap vape and very gradually dilute the nicotine solution down until you’re weaned off. I’m aware the media is very anti-vape now but the dangers are from particular things (especially in black market vapes). With care taken I got off the cigs and then quit the juice.
Doctors may still prescribe nicotine for the purpose of quitting.
I found the patches helpful. And the Quit app. If I can do it, you can too!
mild coffee at 8 pm? yes, please, I need to shake this coffee headache
I’ve had 5 hours sleep. Brain is not working properly. Time to head to the bedroom and negotiate a small space for myself on the bed
That bed looks very occupied to me… access denied.
Last night was ridiculous. I barely had enough room to lay on my side, yet she gets 3/4s of the bed. She’s 1/20th my size!!!
And 2000 times as important, Peasant!
But as with all cats, her attitude is much larger than her mortal body 😽
Well her cat senses apparently extend a metre around her because if I move, ever so slightly, I get trampled when she runs away.
Try a hot water bottle for her - with at least two covers on it or thoroughly wrapped in a towel. Put that in one corner of the bed and I reckon she’ll gravitate to it - leaving the rest of the bed for you.
While I was eating my wicked wings this popped into my head
oh look my first ever job application rejection
Oh mate sorry. And welcome to the infinite club.
The Mrs car smells like farts with the heater on. Still unclear how she’s screwed me outta both my pride and joy Impreza AND its replacement new suv inside 12 months, but here we are.
There’s some rumours going around that a Brewery might buy the Bendigo Hotel.
But which one, given that quite a few are going broke. Where are the tanks gonna go as well? Sacrifice the merch desk area, or beer garden.
That would be interesting. As long as it stays a metal venue I won’t mind
Any clues which Brewery? So long as its not Moon Dog I’m happy.
Someone from Geelong? Nearby Collingwood brewery that needs a bigger space?
Small quarter pounder meal, add on lettuce tomato bacon and mayo, with a medium coke please
A McWhopper from when I used to work at maccas.
🍔
Would that have worked? Asking a cashier for a “McWhopper”? I know they don’t exist any longer.
Work pet peeve - placeholder managers.
We have a director away for a few months and someone else is covering for them. The acting director is very particular in doing things, which is quite different to our normal way of working.
Adds 2-3 days of additional work to, an already convoluted, approval process for the benefit of absolutely no one.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Winter has really hit, hasn’t it? It’s like Autumn slept through March and has stuffed all its weather into April to make up for it
