Sometimes I read back on a professional email I’ve sent and think - wow I actually sound like I know what I’m talking about. Get me on the phone though and I become a mumbling mess sometimes.
I love the phone. I have a “professional” voice I put on. It’s fun lol
My workplace has recently banned access to the Seek website. There have been quite a lot of departures recently lol. They also banned the website of a competitors company when said competitor took off with a few of our staff, and we were too stingy to match their pay offer
Yep. That’ll totally stop 'em leaving.
I used to browse seek on my phone in the toilet years ago lol
Nellie’s update has landed.
This time we get an encyclopaedic life cycle description. https://perthzoo.wa.gov.au/a-year-in-the-life-of-the-numbat?
… and females receive an augmented termite diet for optimal breeding conditions.
I wanna augmented termite diet!
Is there anything we can do to support Nellie?
Other than give the zoo money? Not that I am aware of. Are you artistic? You could do a Thing for $ with a donation pledge ?
That looks like a good idea. I could do a watercolour of her. 🖌️
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone please provide recap and review of your dinner/margarita last night. Also did you accept, wear and bring home a sombrero?
Well, first I didn’t get the sombrero. I did see the fish bowl though, that was fucking huge. I got 2 margaritas, one strawberry, one mango. The strawberry was ok. The mango did not taste like mango. Did not expect them to come from a slushie machine.
The food was good. Prawns were great
Stuffed jalepeno were really good
And Chile fries were really good
I would definitely get these again but take away so I can make proper margaritas at home. The fajita was ok not great because the meat wasn’t tender. Good experience 3.5/5
Gaaaah! Why can no one at my workplace understand how to use SharePoint for document sharing/editing/commenting…!?.. See attached for my edits on filename_edits(3)…
I know the pain. To be fair, it can get confusing because it’s a bit different to how users would use the regular windows file saving they are used to. Can the company do some info sessions on SharePoint basics? A bit of training can go a long way.
Oh there’s been training… Also, I sent the document out sharing it via SharePoint. So multiple people have downloaded a copy, added edits offline, then emailed it back to the group…I mean, all you have to do is click the bloody link in the email and it opens right up… daaaaaaaaaah
This has always been the case. I don’t know how Microsoft became the dominant player in business software when no one knows how to use their products properly
I’ll tell you a couple of things this medicinal indica flower does: it makes my bed way more comfy and it makes rewatching Psych even better.
Small victory. I tipped the Tigers tonight in an upset and got it!
There’s a bunch of jumpy Bois in front of my hotel!
They look kinda like rocks or something, but nah, they’re all jumpies!
The train trip included a fancy dinner and drinks with the train crew. Obviously I can’t drink [:(], so I just had a bottle of Pepsi Max to look the part. I also had to learn how to do fancy eating. Dinner and meal manners aren’t something I’ve ever had to use before, so I never learnt them. But I feel under qualified to eat dinner now to be honest. I’ve never put a napkin thing in my lap, or wiped my face with a black cloth, or had 3 different knives + 3 different forks + 2 spoons + 3 glasses before. I was also the only person at my table under 50 (seriously, that’s not a hyperbole), so that makes it harder to know how to act and what to do.
I mean it was a good experience, and I’m happy that I did it, but there’s so many generational differences that it gets really hard to know what to do or say and how to act. 1 lady was super nice, but the dude next to me shouted at me to not play with my food (there was a flower on my dessert and I was trying to figure out if it was edible or not). It was that sort of formal.
Ignore the guy, he had very bad manners. The best good manners are a smile, please and thank you and a kind heart like greeeg’s friend’s mum.
And that train trip looks really awesome, so jelly. 🥰🚂🦘
That was something that stuck out to me. Nobody was even really acknowledging the waiters at all, and I was the only person saying thank you to them each time they brought food and took plates and drinks and stuff. The only time I could justify not thanking them is if I was in a conversation, but even then I’d at least acknowledge them with a head nod, or duck to the side to make it easier for them to get the plates
So you had the best manners there after all.
Apparently 🙄🤣
100%
Baku, I would’ve played with the flower too 🤷♀️
After he yelled at me I decided to just eat it. I think it was intended mostly as decoration, but it didn’t taste like anything so I assume it was intended to be safely edible. I was the only person that are it at my table though
For future reference. Yes, it’s edible. No, you don’t need to eat it.
That dude was a dick.
I am very middle aged and I still remember my first “fancy” dinner… I kept.forgetting how to hold my knife and fork and my mate’s mum leant over and helped. I still feel a bit out of place at fancy dinners. It’s fun to play and try new things though.
I was at a foster care house for a while and the foster carer and her son both got really, really, really angry at me for not holding a knife and fork right (I held a knife in my left hand and more like a broomstick despite being right handed), but neither of them wanted to teach me or explain what the go was. I only learnt how to properly hold cutlery and knives when I was 14/15. My previous fanciest dinner would probably have been an RSL, but since those tables aren’t really shared, nobody gives much of a shot how you eat things as long as you’re not obnoxious about it and meet their dress code thing.
I’ve actually picked up a lot of my manners and social norms from old Australian soap operas (namely prisoner) + stories from my mum. Just generally speaking, I don’t think much beyond basic manners is really a thing in my generation. Even an expensive sit down restaurant doesn’t necessarily mean it’s fancy or will even have a dress code, let alone any concern about manners or over a dozen types of silverware
I went through a similar thing. I’ve had to teach myself how to do pretty much everything. Like how to shower properly, use cutlery etc. You get the idea.
If it makes you feel better, you’re not the only one having to deal with this crap 🙂
There are probably YT videos.
No doubt, but I think I’m mostly set now. I mean I guarantee I’m going to forget everything I learnt tonight, but I have never needed them before so I don’t think it’s likely I’ll need them again any time soon. The only reason I really cared about them is that it was 10 person shared tables with older people, and the innate urge to try and fit in ear overpowering
If some random punk on a train who I didn’t know yelled at me not to play with my food I would give them a death stare and a few choice words they would never forget
The discourse has been saying Apple Music is better than Spotify in every way, especiallu now it’s also cheaper.
Does this only apply to Apple Music on Apple devices? The app is laggy and slow on my Pixel 8 Pro and I don’t really notice a sound quality difference.
I assume, though, that playlists and Radio would get more personalised over time? Any knowers?
I have a nagging feeling that basically every positive thing I hear about an Apple product is hype/marketing.
You’re right, I could be more sceptical.
Fuck Apple Music. They delete all music that isn’t bought on Apple.
Yes my songs are somewhere hidden in the folders but no longer in the Music app. I use VLC now to listen to songs not on spotify
I love apple devices but I don’t see myself ever using Apple Music
The probiotic/uti preventative supplement for Melbcat arrived… Cystopro. Cripes it’s expensive for a small bottle of 30. For best results I might save it til she’s finished her antibiotics to replace her good gut bacteria. Hoping the artificial chicken flavour isn’t an issue with her poultry allergy and that she’ll eat it sprinkled in her food
You are the best catmum. so many hugs and I hope Melbcat gets better soon
Thanks. I hope so too, my poor little girl is in for a rough trot
Mr Woof has made himself nice and cosy.

Here’s my TV review
Korean Fried Chicken Rhapsody on Netflix
Holy moly. If you love chicken, you will love this. It’s chicken porn. Sexy Hot chicken porn every which way in oil. It’ll leave you hungry. 5/5 yum yums.
Haven’t seen that one yet, but I have seen the other ‘korean rhapsody’s’. It actually came up in conversation today. I passed Mr Paiks restaurant around Healey’s Lane in the CBD and mentioned the serieseses. There is pork, noodles, broth, can’t remember what else. Good stuff
Ooooo. I’ll check it out. Thanks.
Would anyone here that works in IT please be able to offer a reference? My so called friend just dropped me completely
I can’t help (never worked in IT) but I wanted to say I’m sorry this happened to you. What a shitty thing to do!
I really appreciate it ❤️ I’ll never give up easily.
How IT are we talking about? I have an IT adjacent role that could convince people
I’ll DM you
Oh what a shit head. Sorry I don’t work in the right IT adjacent space to help but I will rage on your behalf
Thank you ❤️ I’ll be ok. I never give up no matter what.
Fuck that fuck noodle, he can go piss in his own beer. I’m mad on your behalf. Ugh. I’m sorry I cannot help, but I know you will get through this!
Thanks heaps. I wish I didn’t have to ask people here for help, but without this reference I’m sunk.
I woke her up by moving my foot every so slightly:
I see a poo in your slipper in your future.
🤮
You monster. 🤭
Shame on you!
Pure evil.
The guilt will never escape you.

In unrelated news: I have never clipped a cat’s claw before. When we adopted our void cat in February she desperately needed her claws clipped as they had curled under, almost pushing into her paw. We had them clipped at the vet and since then she has been great at using the many scratching posts we have. But I knew that if I could clip her claws it would be an added bonus.
Today, with the assistance of a treat, I did 3 claws! Just small clips and I stopped as it felt like an excellent start. No scratching or biting. One hiss but a bit of the treat helped her. Made sure not to go too low.
When we adopted our void
You dont adopt a void. Voids adopt you.
Yassss
