International Day of Happiness 🤣
Total sleep was 4 hours, and today’s going to be the most intense and active of the trip. They hired some drongo gardener to start cutting the lawn at 7:05am for some stupid bloody reason so I lost out on 30 extra mins of sleep. Also waking up when it’s 12° is very hard and difficult and this is why I’m gonna pack up my shit and move to marble bar at the earliest opportunity
You’ll be ok Baku. Once you’re on the plane you’ll start to get excited and your adrenalin will kick in. Make sure you take some gum with you and chew it on take off and landing. Have a great time in Adelaide.
Good idea. If I find some at the airport that isn’t extortionately priced I will buy
Once you’re on the plane you can have a snooze. I’m a chronic non-sleeper myself the night before a flight, always get nervous I’ll miss it! Happens to lots of people, nothing to worry about. Airport is full of bleary eyed people stumbling through. Hopefully all goes smoothly for your trip!
I’m one of those people that can’t sleep in public. I can never fall asleep on trains, trams, planes, buses, etc. I don’t even fall asleep in cars
Finally got some musical inspiration back!!! It’s been over 3 months since I’ve written anything. Fuck it feels good!
This is the life
I’m in the bed under a shit ton of blankets with far too many pillows watching some gronk get arrested
If you’re in Adelaide long enough you’ll see it happen in real life!
I spent 6 years in Adelaide and I have to say, the first 2 or 3 weren’t too bad. Then the monotony set in.
I think I’ve seen it happen enough in Melbourne to last a lifetime
Who decides it’s the International Day of (thing)? Not disputing it, just suddenly curious. My zoo calendar regularly says stuff like it’s the International Day of the (fauna) and I wonder who decides it.
I don’t know, but if anyone plays Bobby McFerrin at me I shall cheerfully eviscerate them. And send the bits to @bacon@aussie.zone for repurposing.
i’m making a 🦴 broth
The UN decides mostly, when it relates to humanitarian and human achievements, like “International Day of Women Judges”, or “International Day of Zero Waste”, or “International Day of Biological Diversity”.
For international days for [fauna], it depends. Sometimes it’s created by a person who has worked with certain species extensively or by well known advocates, or it is created by animal welfare groups. For example, World Animal Day was created by Heinrich Zimmerman in 1925, a cynologist (dog scientist, simply). Colleen Paige created International Dog Day, Mutt Day, and Pet Day.
Huh. That was pretty comprehensive, thanks for that!
That is a really good question that I can not help you with. 🤷♀️
I feel like I should make some of them up when there’s no official international day.
Maybe somebody just says it loudly and nobody argues, so it’s official?
Surely it’s a HR stunt somewhere. Three work lunches to decide when International Spatula Day should happen.
Another day, another unpaid toll sms. These spam texts drive me nuts. I’ve blocked so many numbers but it’s futile.
But good news! I got a Centrelink rebate!
Changing my sleep cycle for the new job. Damn you circadian rhythm and making me feel like shit 😔
Adelaide day! I’m dishevelled, disorganised, and discombobulated. Flights out at 12, gotta be at the old ‘port by 10:30. Lift arranged for 9:30, but I don’t actually have a travel bag, so my clothes are gonna be packed in Coles’ bags until we pick up the worker who’s coming with me who said I can borrow a bag. I haven’t packed anything yet.
Despite not having packed yet, I have been busy all day cleaning. I decided I’d clean up my room so that when I get back I’ve got a nice clean room to crash into, and I also decided to wash my bedding and wardrobe things. So lots of washing, and lots of cleaning. Also decided to clean my toilet and bathroom because hey! That’s more important than making sure I actually have stuff to wear, right??? 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. My bedding still isn’t dry, still got half an hour to go at least.
Oh it’s also been brought to my attention that the gronky security people would probably put most of my things in the bin, because my deodorant, mouthwash, etc, are all “too big”. So I’ll need to buy some in Adelaide
I’m a nervous traveller, in case you can’t tell…
It’s gonna be great and you’ll be ok. Welcome to the big family of people that start random chores instead of packing then panic pack at midnight (I’m much older then you and still do it like this). Your future self will thank you for the clean room!
Have a ball - you’ll be awesome
Welcome to the big family of people that start random chores instead of packing then panic pack at midnight
No please I don’t want
Thanks g, i reckon I’ll probably be mid tier at best, but I’ll try
C’mon and join the Adelaide parade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z5X47T1ZhY
Nope you’ve gone too obscure, yo no comprendo tu referencia
You can get mini bottles to decant most toiletries into from your local $2 shop. Won’t help with deodorant if you use spray, but most other things should work.
Not going to have time for $2 shops before I go unfortunately, but once I get to Adelaide I’ll try to figure it all out
Finally going to sleep. It’s 2:30 now, and 2 things could happen:
- I fall asleep instantly 2: I’m up for another hour trying to sleep
Wish me luck sleeping lemmings
They don’t care about liquid container size for domestic flights AFAIK. Hope you wake up refreshed and have a seamless flight!
Oh. Hopefully. Thanks J_K, total sleep time was about 4 hours, so I’ll be running on fumes but I should be right
It is the equinox today and boy the darker evenings are getting noticeable.
I’m going to miss the light evenings so much. It’s depressing being in out in dark doing stuff after work every day.
totally agree. With more and more folks living in the city now I’m not sure why we continue with it TBH. We’ve got a mental health crisis, this feels like a real easy cheap thing to help, even if its barely a drop in the ocean.
I don’t usually have issues with daylight savings but this year has really knocked me about for some reason. Maybe it’s hitting the big five oh? Maybe it’s exhaustion from the “work-home-go to sleep for God’s sake please kids” cycle? I’ve found the darker evenings comforting, whereas when I was younger I loved the extra daylight on a gorgeous evening (more time to enjoy beverage indulgence).
I shal now proceed to waste at least 2 hours of useful work day on OHS courses that amount to: Use your knees, and Don’t drink the dish liquid.
you can’t tell me what to do 😠
Mmmm dishwasher tablets 😵💫
Why make them lemon flavoured if you can’t have a chew?
If they are expecting you to cover that much material you really should be getting a full day.
And some kick arse sandwiches
Well that was a rapid transition to Autumn. Might have to swap to winter doona next time I do the sheets.
oh great i get rained on i guess i need to be careful what i wish for
It was well below expectations.
Please request more rain.
I’ve been listening to these “true story” YouTube channels lately.
Just general tales of dangerous or weird situations people have been through.
A few days after I started, I realised something and felt very stupid for not thinking of it earlier:
What counts as danger for a woman is completely different than what I would consider danger. Situations that I would consider a nuisance can be life or death for a woman. Something as simple as a weird looking guy walking up to chat to me can turn into utter chaos for a woman.
It’s opened my eyes in a really big way, and like I said, I feel dumb as fuck for not thinking about it sooner.
/rant incoming.

Glad to hear you’ve seen the light. Not being ironic here, all too few men get this. Complicated by the fact that for a very long time indeed (and still continues a bit) the ideal of ‘feminine’ beauty has been to appear as small, weak and fragile as possible for their body type. And hampered by constrictive clothing and stupid shoes. This includes highly invasive surgery and horribly restrictive lifestyles to appear smaller and skinnier than their natural body. Just glance at any high fashion magazine or look at any movie or tv show. Even the ‘strong’ women have to have at least something about them that screams “I can be victimised!” to appear ‘feminine’ to Hollywood and most mass market publications. Even the ones marketing ‘health’. Just look at the shoes in Sex in the City. Or how scrawny most Hollywood ‘heroines’ are. Even the ones toting guns. This weird situation appears to be changing a bit, but still has a long way to go. It’s still far too true that the most dangerous place to be a woman is still in their home - the stats on domestic violence are horrifying. Random violence from strangers is a lot less dangerous statistically speaking, but gets a LOT more publicity. I am so glad I am no longer young, and am therefore a lot less vulnerable. It’s been one of the most liberating things that has ever happened to me.
Movie review.
Do you love fast cars? Do you love men? Do you love daring men geniuses who love fast cars?
If you do then Ford vs Ferrari is pure porn.
I give this 5 hobbits . I’ll be watching it again.
I bought this on blu ray for the man and he’s been nagging me to watch it with him. Thanks for the review. I’ll schedule it in.
confession
I used to love speeding in my little bmw on winding mountain roads. Husband never knew.
Hahaha.
Confession
I drive like a grandma in my Corolla. Husband knows because he tells me all the time. What he doesn’t know is I do it deliberately when he’s in my car.
I watched this on the treadmill. There’s something about racing scenes that really makes me run faster. Like a subconscious/empathetic connection to the character on the screen.
The racing scenes are really quite thrilling and every now and then they slip in some real footage from the real life events they are portraying. I remember in the 60s and 70s race car drivers were household names, rock stars
😂 Seagoon, this is such a good ad.
Watching it, I shall be.
it’s nothing like fast and furious, this movie is about geniuses
What if I prefer my cars more like chitty chitty bang bang?
Flying?
Rat rod, but I’ll take flying.
Have to get up really fkn early tomorrow, to start my trial shift at 8am.
I have to catch the tram at approx 6.20am. 😱 least it’s only 4 hours and not a full day lol.
If they accept me, I’ll be asking for Arvo shifts for sure.
Good luck.
