    I’m going to the CBD later to grab some shoes and some t-shirts.

    I haven’t left my outer suburb in a couple of weeks. It’s always a shock to the system being around so many people all at once.

    I do so miss it though. Once I’m re-established I’m moving closer to the city. Maybe st.kilda again.

      The city scares me. I’ve been there at 3am on a Saturday morning far too many times for my own good

      Same, don’t go to the city often and it’s always so busy. I used to work in the city about 15years ago and don’t remember it being as busy, maybe it’s because there’s lots more residential around CBD and inner suburbs. My ideal living location would be close to city but also quiet area with some garden and tress around, which of course is contrary to inner city density and I’m not rich enough for that kind of extravagance.

        There’s some lovely leafy pockets in East Melbourne and Carlton. Both areas are stupid expensive, however.

    rant about ex

    I keep thinking about that stupid DM my ex sent me on Reddit, and I was getting annoyed that it was still on my mind. Like, why am I angry at it?

    I realised it’s because, despite claiming to have grown since we split, she is still just as self-centred as usual. She hasn’t grown, or changed. This is just the same text-wall shit they would send me while I was at work, listing all the reasons I suck and am bad, and expect me to reply instantly and if I didn’t I was accused of cheating. Like, same shit, just without the accusations of infidelity.

    That DM was better off journalled and shown to their therapist tbh. They acknowledge they weren’t a great person, but in the same sentence claim I wasn’t either. Like, that isn’t anything, nothing substantial. Just “I was bad… But so were you!!”

    Stupid motherfucker, dumbass, shitstained cunt. She already lives rent free in my head due to CPTSD, like get out of my DMs you fuck knuckle. Does your girlfriend know you sent that drivel to me at 3am on a Monday morning?? Go pay attention to her ffs. You claim to have read my Reddit comments, why did you feel the need to send me that after I told everyone on there you’re a rapist abuser? Fuck off with that shit you slimeball.

      The effects of other people can really linger in our minds. If you no longer want contact, a simple reply of something like ‘I don’t want to revisit our past, or have any further contact. Please don’t contact me again’ and then block number. Message is useful because it’s closure for you and sets a clear boundary, but if you think it’s better for your mental health to not reply at all, just block number and say good bye to that part of your life.

    Depression lapse sucks. Today I am going to be reading and rereading the chapter on tolerance of ambiguity and other cognitive ways of thinking.

    This one is a hard nut to crack, my thinking is too fast, I can’t see where the wrong thinking starts. I need to peel back the layers until I can get to the problem.

    Work goals kicked today. Got some kudos from higher ups that I never deal with.

    Feel good, but also now they’ve put a face to my name and I cannot remain hidden behind and email signature.

    Also hate setting the bar high

      Here’s a a hot take. Traditionalists will tell you that the only way you should eat hot cross buns is cut, toasted then buttered. I am here to tell you that there are other ways that include an airfryer, butter, lemon butter and biscoff spread. Boom.

        At least after this weekend, you guys are only going to be two hours ahead. People in here are usually celebrating Friday drinks before I even have lunchtime.

      The funny sloth scene is more than a little true. I went to the Department of Transport yesterday literally to pick up a spare number plate (It’s the same number plate as the car, just goes on the bike rack so the bikes don’t obfuscate the rear plate) that is there waiting for me. A 5-minute errand. I got there an hour before closing.

      ‘Nope, we’re too busy today. Come back another day’.
      ‘but the number plate is here. I’m just picking it up. I don’t need anything from you’.
      ‘There are too many people waiting. Some of them have been here three hours already.’
      ‘But, you’re only open 9-4:30 weekdays. It is super rare that I get a chance to drop in while you’re open.’
      ‘Take a day off work to visit us. Get here by lunchtime.’

        Not much better in Vic, and I’m guessing all the states. Tassie and the ACT may be exceptions I guess since like nobody lives there, although on account of nobody living there, maybe nobody works there just making the problem worse.

        My advice? Start acting like you live in Hawaii. Or maybe Spain at siesta time. Everything mañana. License plates? Mañana. Doing your work? Mañana. Losing 30% of your blood every 10 minutes? Mañana, but maybe a little less mañana than the rest of them

        Start embracing that Perth time!

      Easter is overrated. I’d rather just have a 3 day weekend like most of the rest of the world where Good Friday is a PH, and add the extra day somewhere in July or something

    I spoke to a HR person in the IT industry earlier today.

    She said for a role, they usually get 40 resumes. Now they’re getting 300.

        Oh… This is not the first time. Haha. I did face, put casual duds on and went to the supermarket. Was going to treat myself with a late bougie supper out afterwards, but then got home and was like meh…

        (Also have corseted up before to go but then couldn’t be arsed and had fun drinking next door at my neighbour’s.)

        Dunno… I also take a revoltingly long time to get ready when doing the whole shebang, so that doesn’t help.

        Not all bad though, catching up on the Shibaru/Kinbaku doco over wine and cheese seems a good trade off. :)

    Anyone here remember the music festival that used to run back in the late 90s/early 00s, which was just independent Australian/NZv acts (I think)…? A Something For Kate song just came on and it triggered a whole lost memory of going to the showgrounds back in the day to see Shihad, Powderfinger, Something For Kate etc…wasn’t early BDO, was a smaller indie type thing…

      Oh man I’m not entirely sure, but you’ve just unlocked an awesome memory of when I saw Powderfinger/Something for Kate/Stella One Eleven at the Coogee Bay Hotel in Sydney back in '99 - one of my all time fave gigs to this day.

      EDIT: Maybe you mean the Livid Festivals in 2002/2003? Powderfinger & SFK did 2002, Shihad 2003. Wasn’t at the Showgrounds though. From what I can see, Powderfinger have only ever played there as part of BDO, nothing else.

      Can you tell this is bugging me now too?!? :D

        Aaah, I’m probably mixing memories then. I didn’t ever go to Livid, but I did many a BDO. I think the show in thinking of was an under-age gig, or at least alcohol free. Was definitely (I’m almost positive) at the showgrounds because I remember knowing my way around on account of going to BDO. Definitely saw Shihad there, thought Something For Kate and Powderfinger too, bit they might have been at the BDO. Custard too, now I’m thinking about it
