Through to an interview with second preference job, Friday lunchtime. I’ve already done online testing with great results and submitted a five minute video. I’m hoping this is more of a formality at this point. I am a great candidate

I could wear make-up and curl my hair,
Commence my glow-up and start to care,
I’d colour myself amongst the rainbow,
But what for and why? I don’t know.I want to be pretty like the girls on the net,
But I feel quite petty when my eyes set
Upon my face and the way it exists.
But what for and why? It just is.Is it the web that makes me feel so bad?
All the cute girls on the street, I feel so sad.
I’m sure if I tried, I’d look like a queen,
But what for and why, so I could be seen?I don’t crave attention, I’ll promise you that,
I like staying home with my coffee and cat,
Should I do it for me, and try to be pretty?
But what for and why? Now I sound petty.I have some terrible news … BreadTop at Melbourne Central is CLOSED. I don’t know if it’s permanent. This means my mornings are much less joyful… And my life has extended by a few years.
Tigers den is pretty good for coffee and cakes.
But do they have face-sized ham and cheese sandwhich things for $7.72?
not face sized, but decent toasties yeah
Is the QV one still there? Haven’t checked in about a decade.
I don’t know whether it is still there, but I really miss that pide store at the bottom of Melbourne Central. Their goodies were so great.
There are a few types of street/fast food that were common in Melbourne that I can’t readily get in Perth.
get krispy kreme instead
duuuuude I watched a mouse run from the downstairs maccas to the krispy kreme the other day. I wouldnt eat down there.
The last job I had in the city (3+ years ago) it became clear to me that the entire CBD is infested with rodents. You can really smell it strongly in some locations too.
oh totally. And on the basement floor right above a train station is practically inevitable. Still dont wanna see them though.
Mouse-Certified Fresh
Back to onigiri instead
Work all week. Spend weekend recovering from exhaustion. Repeat. Life not very satisfying ☹️. At least my cat naps on the bed with me.

There is an impeccably appointed Mercedes with a large decal of Psyduck on the side doing a circuit of Melbourne.
Behold the Psyduckmobile
woke up at one point last night on my side, knees at a 90 degree angle with a pillow in between, feet resting on the spaces between the ball and heels and fingers interlocked. Ontop of this rain was pelting the brick wall behind my head and I have to say it was the most comfortable I’ve been in a LONG time.
I’m gonna go find some lamb shanks and if I don’t find them Ima gonna chuck a mini tantrum in the meat department of Coles.
I GOT MY PASSPORT 🎉
Yay ⛵
✈🛫🛬
Yay, time to celebrate with lamb shanks!
And a nice bottle of wine.
Yay! Where are you off to?
New Zealand for a few days in hopefully November then next year Japan.
Congrats, crazy C-dog! How many times did it go between sunshine west and Melbourne airport?
I have no idea mate. I got a sms on Friday to say it’s been dispatched then it arrived today by my trusty local postie.
You don’t stalk your parcels???
I didn’t have a tracking number. Is there a way to do it without a tracking number?
Oh, I thought the passports were sent with tracking. If you got the notification it was being delivered, then it probably was being sent with tracking. If you don’t have an auspost account, it can be worth creating one because it’ll try and use your details to match parcels to your account if the parcel is eligible for tracking, even if you were never informed of the tracking number. It uses your name, address, email, and whatever else is on the parcel to try and link it to you
Oh. I will do that. Thank you.
eyeballs still
I’m pondering poitin
He’s a dick tater.
Hell yeah! Grappa by any other name - still tastes pretty damn good.
But I’m pondering getting weird with it. Like, I have purple peruvian potatoes growing out the back I could base a mash on…
If its spuds, then isn’t it vodka??? I could well be wrong here, but I thought poitin was a mix of 3 barley to 1 wheat?
poitin is a traditional moonshine, meaning it’s whatever you can get to ferment. Lot of starchy stuff used thanks to the brits turning Ireland into the worlds largest potato farm, so taters are perfectly acceptable to base mash
^all spirits start as vodka, you just add different toppings^
when ever there is a big political event that draws all attention evil people like poitin will use the opportunity to do some more evil with out newspapers taking much notice
watch for poitin enemies disappearing and attacks on other nations , maybe some extra fraud
I love the energy but this only makes sense if you read it with the completely wrong alphabet. (poitin is pronounced puch-een)
Edit: on reflection vladimir pucheen sounds like an anime protagonist.
😂😂
The incoming rain looks awful.
Pray for me.
is it coming from the south? thats strange.
Yeah, coming up from the south. I saw yesterday there’s two low pressure systems out south to south east.
Ngl “the low pressure south east” sounds like a kinda cool name for a band
The polar mass is upon us!
Dammit, I wanted to do some gardening this arvo
I’ve bought Melbcat a treat tower - trying to give her some enrichment.
You’re a good cat friend. 😊
My daily rant as an old person.
Using the words Processing and Unpacking when speaking or writing of thoughts.
I truly dislike these words because it turns people into machines, into objects. It’s how a psychopath wants you to think about yourself and events. They want to define how you think and feel.
People reflect on events and feel emotions, they don’t process. When you use the wrong word/idea you distance yourself from who you are.
People think about their lives and events, they may or may not think in an analytical way, they don’t unpack. I unpack my groceries and when I do I’m not analysing what they are, how and why I bought them, the origin of the groceries, I’m not trying to make a narrative that makes sense, I’m not relating my groceries to other groceries. I’m just picking them up and putting them away.
Agreed! So much more is involved in reflection than just “unpack/process”. I’m not “putting away” my thoughts, nor am I “processing” them like a warehouse. Sure, one can make a metaphor for how the brain stores memories (short and long-term, and how that can be disrupted, the effects of such disruption, etc) to how a warehouse stores stock or moves it. But as with all metaphors, they are lacking in a fundamental way: they discount the humanness of thinking and memories. The process of remembering and mindfulness is less a straight line of “A follows B follows C follows D…”, and more akin to “A reminds me of F, and I feel X about that, but maybe I should think about D and how it relates to L and I can use that if I encounter G…”.
Thinking of us as machines, well, dehumanises us lol.
I might do a little rummaging around to find out when that terminology first arose and who is responsible and why.
I admit manipulation of language and beliefs bother me.
The only time I use process is when someone tells me some really big news and immediately wants an answer. I’ll reply with “um give me some time to process that”.
When unpacking I usually circle back, touch base and re-process, re-pack then if the synergistic ducks are in a row it’ll be all blue skies.
Do you navigate all your problems like that?
I unfortunately use these kinds of words as a result of working at a community organisation that was run by an interlinking system of committees. There used to be a lot of meetings, and people padded out their conshy sounding contributions with the sort of language that adds absolutely no meaning. Honestly the joint was a bit like a cult and it took me a long time to deprogram myself.

Even this little mastodon comment here, silly as it may be, is not “content”. It’s something I’ve written where I (a human!) expressed some thoughts.
