It’s going to rain. Take a brolly.

On a cross-town trip to prahan. Love it when the trains all line up so well
I had to catch 2 buses then a tram a couple of weeks ago and it lined up so well going to my destination (max 5 min wait time for each) but sucked on the way back because it would’ve been a 10 min wait for the tram and 25ish for each bus so I ended up doing bus then tram then walk
On my way back now, and yeah, it doesn’t line up that great on the way back. But I think I’m a bit luckier where I am, just because I’m going from the Inner North to the Inner South, so I’m not really in a place where busses are required. Just trains, or if I really wanted to extend the trip, I could take two trams.
Busses are, by far, my least favourite type of public transport lol
I braved the elements and brought my bins in. It’s quite warm out there.
Is it? I know it was quite warm overnight last night, 15 was the low I think.
This morning wasn’t too bad but the chill from the wind got to me eventually.
About to go outside for a little bit, it’s all grey and overcast, I’m not sure what to wear.
Well it wasn’t cold but I was only out there for one minute. When I came back in I asked Google the temperature and she said 18°c.
Just came back from outside, wasn’t too bad though I still wrapped a scarf for bizarre reasons around my neck.
Won’t last for too much longer I suspect, I see rain on the radar coming.
some howling wind there
So have my internal job interview next week. I’ve put my expected salary as 10% greater than I currently have, but about 9 months ago they made the role that I’m going for no longer an automatic pay jump. I know they will say my pay will remain the same and I don’t know how to respond to that. They are desperate for people right now, but so is the team id be leaving. I am definitely worth a raise but my company is cheap. The company also loves to bluff - like you ask for a raise, they will tell you no chance UNTIL you have another job offer and say you’re leaving. It’s a tricky one. Any thoughts?
Advice I’ve seen on lemmee.World is if they offer you a promotion without a payrise you put that on your resume and immediately look for another job elsewhere paying the money you were looking for
I think if you get another offer for more money, I wouldn’t stay at the same company because they view you as a flight risk.

You get to set the conditions and timetable of your personal career goals, not them.
I was supposed to go to a funeral today but when I got up this morning I just didn’t have it in me to go. Mr P was going so I said he could represent our family. I seem to be reaching some kind of depressing events threshold. They were all going out drinking afterwards at one of the shittier local hotels 😬 definitely count me out, would rather stay home than deal with drunken people today. Especially people who had already started squabbling about money barely a day after she died. I felt a bit guilty though, especially seeing as I’d taken the day off work to go, so I had a go at repairing the dishwasher and succeeded! Am kind of enjoying having a day off that’s not a public holiday.
I’m so sorry, so many hugs.
Thanks Seagoon, I appreciate your kind thoughts 🥹
You do whatever you need to do in your own way to get through it.
Everyone has different ways of handling and getting through things, you just do what best works for you.
That’s what’s most important.
Thanks Duenan, I appreciate your understanding words 🥹
Trying to get the mrs to understand that servicing a modern DPF diesel engine, plus tyres and brakes on a big SUV is gonna be bloody expensive (and given its “my” car cost ME), meanwhile I can replace her whole engine for 20 bucks and run the thing off the smell of an oily rag. Meanwhile the SUV has copped 10k km and shitbox hasn’t hit 2k km.
I shouldnt call it a shitbox, its such a fun little car to drive I love that thing to death.
does anyone know where I put the corkscrew?
Second drawer down.
not in any of the drawers. I checked each one about 4 times.
Don’t worry it’ll turn up when you buy another one.
I will be moving in with my mother and consolidating households in the near future, so at this stage I am not buying anything I can do without for a short period. So I’ll be pushing in corks for a few months then either find it in the move or just use mum’s. I’ll add it with the broken beaters to the list I need to make sure mum doesn’t declutter!
It’s stuck with its magnet half way down the garbage chute
If you understand this, we’re cool… cool cool cool.
The cat is sitting on it of course
Dad: Into the wine bottle… got a swiss army knife in a drawer somewhere?
Cork was pushed into the bottle. Alas I have no swiss army knife. I have a suspicion I may have overzealously decluttered it thinking it was a spare.
with the screwdriver
I have checked both the cupboard which collects random tools that should mostly be outside and the pegboard storage areas where screwdrivers are and there is no corkscrew ☹️
it’s in the cutlery drawer
Do you guys think this a good idea or bad idea? I sprinkle bird seed and then she sits and watches them through the door.
I think it’s lovely, it’s like Cat TV. 😸📺
Cat TV! A staple of this household. Even without birdie nom noms
I made the mistake of putting Cat TV on last week. One of the cats is now so transfixed that the child cannot play roblox without his character being attacked. It’s funny, but I am slightly concerned that she might harm the TV… your method seems safer and involves less screen time which is bad for our younguns.
It says here that it’s enrichment for cats so I think it’s a good idea. https://www.thevetshed.com.au/blog/enrichment-for-cats/4266
I think she be a fine tiger loaf
Crumpets have been made, now to rest the rest of day watching telly.
Look at it go!
But why…? What’s the benefit of having a wifi connected washer? So you can put the load through again from bed when you realise you forgot to hang it out?.. Wouldn’t you still have to add detergent…I don’t understand
Load it in the morning. Start it an hour before you get home so it’s ready to hang when you arrive? That way, it isn’t going mankey all day.
That’s all I got.
The only reasons I can come up with are if the laundry is on a different floor it might be handy to check if it has finished before you go downstairs to unload it. It might also remind you if you don’t unload it which could definitely be handy. Or it could give you a bit more control over programming if it has a decent app - it’s easier/cheaper to build in more variables into an app than it is to have hard buttons. My rice cooker has an app which gives you access to a lot more detailed programming than you can do on the panel, like setting the exact finish time for the times, adjusting default times to your preferences, programs for yoghurt etc. Plus it allows multilingual settings - the cooker has chinese on all the buttons but the app is in English.
The wind is so loud I can’t sleep 😔
pain
I went outside and it’s actually really nice. I can’t sleep either though (I was so tired I went to sleep at 6 then woke up at midnight and couldn’t get back to sleep 😒)
There’s something about the quietness of nighttime on a slightly chilly and fairly windy night. Peaceful. If I wasn’t scared of things that fly and/or have 8 legs I’d sit outside
Thank you Thorn😘
Sleep well everyone
Testing jerboa…
looks like a dog to me
I thought it was an alpaca/llama crossed with a camel at first lmao. My brain’s weird like that
I can see it.
What were you using before?
Firefox
Oh. I honestly don’t like browser Lemmy. I used Jerboa in the early days but it was a bit buggy and I was coming from Boost for Reddit so as soon as Boost for Lemmy launched I switched over. Did you use a third party app on Reddit?
I used Reddit is Fun. Boost for lemmy had ads, so that’s not for me.
Fair. I used BfR for about 3 years before I decided to upgrade. I didn’t really mind the ads, I just wanted to support the dev. But of a state secret, but the Reddit app still works if you’re a mod of a sub, so I bought ad free the day after installing BfL for that (and reworking the app for Lemmy) alone.
Handy to know about BfR. I have now created my own Reddit sub and the app is working again.
Totally forgot I have those wifi multicoloured light globes.
Soft orange light is perfect to make music to.
