So I found out today that I’ve only failed one subject in my course, and it was a borderline fail. The uni people have told me that if I pass everything else in the course, they can give me a supplementary exam for that specific subject. All is not lost.
As for trying to decide my path at this stage in my life, I’ve fallen into a rabbit hole compulsively web searching different careers. Everything from accounting to electrical work. It’s time to stop this. The internet won’t give me an answer. I have to try out different things to figure it out. I’m going to hold off making any big decisions until the end of this semester.
Piedmonte’s had a display of Four Pillars gin - flavoured with ‘fresh yuzu’. As yuzu is one of my favorite flavours, I think I might invest in a bottle … Lemon meringue pie but with yuzu instead of lemon … the possibilities are endless.
that sounds amazing 🤤
everyone here are such a amazing inventive cooks
Woke after dreaming I was struck by lightning and electrocuted. And look at the clock and it’s only 1am, feels like I’ve been asleep much longer.
Dissociation/not being bodily present isn’t a great thing, but it sure comes in handy for dentist appointments 😬 🦷 🪥
I’ve been so often the last 10 years I can almost fall asleep lol
I do the opposite and end up waaay too present
Owwww. But also, understandable. It really is the definition of “in your face”. I think after I got a tooth yanked out under local anaesthesia I’ve become a bit more numb to whatever they do to my teeth… that and my gums are so perpetually inflamed I think they can’t feel much pain any more
Oh, that’s a lot to deal with. Hope your recent appointment went well, dentistry-wise :-)
I think it’s working. Goodnight everyone ❤️
Rested again today, toe was bothering me overnight and today, I changed over the dressing and wasn’t as bad as I thought or it could have been but the toe was pretty swollen.
I felt no pain yesterday strangely enough and today I’ve had pangs of discomfort.
I hope it’s better tomorrow.
The smoke detectors have just been tested and Mr Woof was not happy about the invasion. He was also confused about whether he should bark at the stranger or run and hide when the beeping started.
Miss Meow disappeared entirely and I expected to not see her for a while, but she rallied much quicker than expected and is now out of hiding and on my lap (it appears under the couch was the hiding spot of choice today).
Not sure what’s changed to have had three different spam callers today. Assuming tax-time scams though. Everyone else important would leave a message or send a text or email.
Had to park at Sunshine station this morning (bus replacement service from my local), left the office early, driving home and nearly hit a junkie (on their pushbike) who thought it was a good idea to absolutely fang it through the pedestrian crossing when cars had the green arrow to turn.
Homey looked cooked, but determined.
😔
i dunno, I just find drug addiction sad
Definitely sad. I’ve done drugs in the past, but managed to avoid the spiral down. That could have been me if some things went differently, for sure.
so many hugs
I am so glad events turned out well for you 😭<—tears of relief and emotion
Oh no, I was never bad. I just did a fair amount of party drugs in my youth (still do but with a prescription). Knew some people went the wrong way (heroin and meth mainly) but most of my friends ended up okay.
I think having fairly strict, but somehow supportive parents helped.
That would have been terrifying - hope you’re ok
Oh yeah, I saw going fast just as I was turning and slowed down to let him through. I have a feeling he didn’t see most (if any) of the cars.
I’m doing training all day Wednesday and Thursday so I can deal with the most complicated account types that we have. There aren’t a great deal of people at my org who do this. I’ve been told the training is rather lacking and I’ll just be thrown in to figure it out afterwards.
Not really looking forward to the new type of work but it’s good for development, and good they think I’m capable
Congrats! Yes, this is a declaration of above average competence. I remember back when I worked in insurance, and had to figure out how to set premiums for a super account that was in PNG kina, with added Parliamentary super on top of it. Took some serious research. And a VERY complicated spreadsheet. With date ranges. And currency conversions. Everyone else chickened out when faced with the problem, the mongrels, cos it was going to be audited … but I survived and so will you. I have faith in you.
🥰🥰 thank you. That sounds absolutely disgusting 🤣
'twas high on the Not Fun scale.
If I say “I’m good for a meeting on Wednesday up until 3pm” that used to mean “I am not around after 3”. I reckon at least three times in the last week someone has responded to that with a meeting request AT 3 (or equivalent).
It’s doing my head in. Have I suddenly become unclear or did you all have a big pow wow and change the meaning of time on me??!
I think that’s why people invented the phrase “hard stop at 3”. It’s cringe corpo speak but most people get it.
Sounds like their reading comprehension was lost somewhere lol
Say ‘unavailable after 3’ and block out the time in your calendar. Please tell me you are blocking the time in your calendar? A office peeve of mine people rejecting meetings saying they aren’t available but they’ve left the time free in their calendar.
Yes I block time but these are meetings with external clients. But I will change what I say -thanks. It’s just been curious that it’s all of a sudden.
I went to that Museum of Desire over the weekend. It’s a bit of fun, but very basic and very hetero. It’s more of an instagram opportunity for corporate drones than a learning experience.
There are a couple of stores just around the corner that would teach you a lot more about those sorts of things, if you know where to look.
oh kay
panadol has been obtained and taken, let’s see if i can have some back pain relief 😢
black coffee has been drunk , it’s ok
It might be worth looking into the milk alternatives. I quite enjoy oat and you can get some nice flavoured versions
Thanks. I was thinking oat milk as an alternative, so that’s two recommendations, Miss Seagoon drinks that too. I;m in. 😊
Oooo gee. Why have you gone black?
allergic to milk, not a serious allergy but bad enough to limit intake
so last night’s cottage pie had no milk products, made with olive oil margarine, no milk in the mashed potato and no cheese on top
it was still delicious
But… but… cheese 😢
😢
maybe one cheese toasty a week
but worse, I have to think about all the products I buy that may have milk
chocolate, cookies, bread, cakes,
and think of replacement in dishes like quiches
Oh no 😔
Happy you enjoyed your pie though 🙂
I’ve made the switch to black coffee a few times, if you give two weeks it will start satisfying you just as much. Just gotta get over the adjustment period. Much healthier too!
Awake early, but seeing the beautiful sunrise made it worth it!
Also, new love unlocked. Hotel club lounge access. 2 hours of drinks and canapes in the evening?! Yes, please!!
