Using loseit for cico atm and it just popped up in my notifs to tell me weight loss was the most important thing in life. Jesus fucking christ
For the first time in over 30 years, a Mildura bound train has left from Maryborough! We’re running about 40 minutes late because a freight train was also running 40 minutes late
Shit. Volunteered at a thing. Now I need to show up. And not be shit.
Shit.
Running in circles and screaming may be appropriate
I’ve never shit like that before, but to each their own I guess
Most people aren’t that scared about replacing a zipper, but you’ve added a new dimension to sewing repair club .
I hate zippers. I still take them to my Mum.
zippers are the worst…lol
I had another good idea. The infection my cat has is from bad gut bacteria and apparently weak to a good bacteria called Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, so I walked to go get her some plain yogurt specifically containing that. My knees are screaming and I couldn’t find a small tub, only a big expensive one, but got hold of a lactose free kind and she’s just eaten a spoonful. I might give her a little each day of her antibiotics and then hit things with the bought probiotics when she finishes.
Melbcat likes it a lot so if her stomach handles it she might have a snack of yogurt each day or a dollop with each meal for the long term. It costs and I don’t know if I’ll be able to eat it as well, but I could freeze it in cubes (if the bacteria will survive well) and it will be cheaper than spending hundreds every time she gets sick. Fingers crossed it helps. I’m really trying to avoid further antibiotic resistance 😬
this is a terrific idea, I hope it works 🤞🐈
I really hope it does. I’m not sure if there’d be enough of the good bacteria in there to have much of an effect, but perhaps I can find some affordable probiotic capsules.
I was offered the role. Then I asked if my expected pay had been considered, that it was more than my current pay. I was told it hadn’t been, but that they’d get back to me shortly. Got back to me: "look I spoke to the big boss, and he says now your current role and the one Ur going for are considered equal (my current role used be considered lesser), your pay is appropriate and would remain the same. I told them I would consider that over the long weekend.
Also just learned that ANOTHER person quit in the role I’m going for, bringing the total to four open positions, and as far as I know, I’m the only internal applicant. The fuckers have the gall to not offer me anything.
Sounds like you have a bit of leverage there but also seems a bit worrying that people keep quitting…
So the new tip is to put the new job on your resume and start applying for similar roles with better pay.
Don’t take it. Make the fuckers work for an external.
Unless you want the challenge or you’re going to come out of it with some sort of advantage I don’t see why you would take on a role with more or greater responsibility and challenges with no change in pay.
I will not be partaking in alcoholic beverages tonight due to urgent business early tomorrow morning but will be making up for that tomorrow day/evening/ night.
For those who will be have a great night. Cheers 🍺
I have been offered 2 champagnes today, both before 10am…
I shall join you on the morrow in partaking.

Smoked kippers though…. 😢
Smoked dark fish, no thank you.
Good night and sleep well everyone 😘
Transiting in HKG with another hour to kill. Just want to sleeeep
E: I watched Fallen Leaves on the way here and am glad I finally gave it a go after finding previous Kaurismäki films too bleak. This one was just right. On the way to HKG I had watched Marcel the Shell with Shoes on which was incredibly cute and heartwarming but man that Dean was a total dick imo

Cat rambles
The results are back… The good news is we can stop the trimethoprim sulfa Melbcat is allergic to, as the bacteria (enterococcus faecalis) is sensitive to doxycycline. That’s an antibiotic she can tolerate.
The bad news is that her kidney values are slightly up which could be kidney disease or just the uti. Also the bacteria is resistant to the trimethoprim she’s been taking so I’ve been torturing her with that for no reason. This poor cat can’t catch a break. q90
I’ve got the doxy and obtained discounted gravy beef from a shop close by so I can make some plain broth. I have to wait until tomorrow morning to to start the new antibiotic.
I’m so tired, but unfortunately today is another early day. I only had 4 hours the night before last, so I was hoping to go to sleep early and get a solid 10 hours in. But then dinner went for almost 2.5 hours and they told us we have to go to breakfast at 6 with a bus taking us back to Maryborough at 7. I think I managed to get about 5.5 hours last night, but at this rate I’m going to return from the trip more exhausted than when I left
Got the higher gig at work. Feels good.
Now to deal with the knob that didn’t get it and will be reporting straight to me.
Congrats! Have fun turning the knob!
Knob work is always fun
Congratulations 🎉
Thanking you
The second bit sounds not fun, but conga rats!
We’ve clashed heads before. I’ve been here longer whilst he is a bit older and therefore thinks he should be in charge.
Problem is, no one likes him including management.
Congrats!!
Thanks
Yay, congrats!
Cheers
Congrats! That’s fantastic!
Shame about the knob. Working with people can be an occupational hazard at times
deal with the knob
not sure an employee of your level should be doing that at work. edit: also congrats!
My knob work is one of my key skills.
That could be interpreted in quite a number of different ways.
I believe it was indented to be.
Counterpoint to yesterday. What food is never in your house? Some of mine are dislikes, others I just don’t use.
Baked beans & tinned spaghetti
Tinned fish
Bananas
SPAM
Cream cheese
Microwave meals
Canton etc jars
Frozen veg except peas
Tinned asparagus
Carob
Breakfast cereal
Lol. Most of those are in my kitchen. The only thing I can think of is cans of soup like cream of chicken, cream of mushroom etc.
I don’t buy those either. Once in a blue moon will get a ‘chunky steak’ sort of thing but it’s always disappointing.
They are aren’t they. My dad called them “untouched by human hands”.
Yep. There’s something about tinned or jar cooked things that just isn’t right. Sort of sticky clammy. Need my thesaurus!
It’s the surface tension, they are stringy thick. They also use fats that don’t melt in your mouth. They are too sweet.
onions. Cant eat 'em. Garlic isnt much better.
That’s rough. Have a friend who can’t touch any allium at all. Hard to adapt, I use them in near everything.
stinky cheese
no tinned vegies other than beans and tomatoes
no premade sauces
very few foods made overseas, I will buy the aussie version
celery spam and tinned meat in general EXCEPT for tinned mutton ham (only from asian grocers) cos I really like this jar sauces tinned veg carob lolly water breakfast cereal tins of soup EXCEPT for Campbells chicken consomme when I can find any (the best!)
This mutton ham thing sounds curious. Have heard celery described as ‘hairy water’, but love it myself.
Real mutton ham is delish - its a leg of lamb/hogget/two tooth that’s been salted and smoked like pig ham. Very hard to find and bloody expensive as not much is made. The tinned mutton ham is a nice sandwich meat with a different flavour profile to regular ham, but has all that salty smoky cancerous goodness. Comes in a pale yellow tin with foreign writing on it. Try asian grocers.
Celery can get in the bin. If I want watery crunch I’ll go for cucumber every time cos less stringy bits.
I use celery in bolognese sauce, in minestrone and sliced very thinly in salads. I use the leaves finely chopped in place of parsley as it’s the same thing.
These days it’s lamb due to the price, pork is almost never in my place except for bacon. That’s the exception and fresh vegetables.
I don’t mind lamb but will go years between buying it. I just doesn’t register as a thing most of the time. Eat loads of piggy though, really annoyed the Colesworth apple sausages seem to have vanished.
Apple Sausages?!
Oh my god, how did I miss those? I want some now :(
They were bloody good. Not overly ground up into paste like too many sausages are (presumably to hide what’s in them)
Crunchy peanut butter, garlic and onions, cows milk, tinned tomatoes, mangoes.
(Intolerance and just not liking crunchy)
Well, there’s egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam
Spam spam spam spam!
Cheeky. I shall slap you with a herring.
A colleague why had Covid last week is back in the office and visibly not recovered. We Can either take sick day, come into office or wfh AND make up an extra office day. Meanwhile I hope my mask is doing its job… I did have to remove it briefly to drink water though.
