    @Seagoon_ Wifey is trying to claim that it’s really not that uncommon to mix Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes, Nutra Grain, and Weet Bix together. And to eat this particular cereal combo for dinner.

    I’m not doubting her… I just haven’t come across this combo before.

    Anyone else here have Corn Fakes with Nutra Grain?

    slipped on a wet floor and fell face first towards the hardwood dining table. my hand managed to catch the side of the table with about 10cm to spare before I smashed my forehead. Suspect with the speed it woulda at least knocked me out. Sad to report I neither saw the light nor had my life flash before my eyes.

      I am grateful for my cat who is acting as a purry lap warmer, my dog who acts as personal trainer and motivates me to be active even in cold weather, and for my large supply of eggs as I hear they are currently a bit hard to come by.

      Grateful once again for being able to take today off and having a supportive workplace. Grateful for the stability of my jobs so that even if this study thing doesn’t go the way I’d like it to, I don’t have to worry about my self worth. Grateful for my super comfy and warm alpaca wool jumper - feels like a hug.

      Gratitude update: I am now also grateful that my application for critical illness insurance has been accepted with no fuss and I will not be needing to have a blood test.

      Oh yeah - that’ll be me in a couple of days. And for the exact same reason. I had a couple of days detox and then decided to look into this Lemmy thing on July 4.

    I’m starting off the new financial year with pay day today. A bit of a tax cut and a sliver more Super. If the new EBA gets through there will be a pay rise in a couple of months. Not enough to keep up with the CPI increases of the last couple of years but it’s nice to be finally closing the gap a bit.

    I have a business idea for anyone that wants to take it. I noticed Red Hat have a partner page, and their aren’t a lot of Australian based companies on there. LibreOffice also has a page about LibreOffice enterprise and LibreOffice in the cloud.

    Go through the certifications and you could have your own consultancy that sets up Linux and LibreOffice for businesses.

    It’s not a guaranteed money maker and you’d need to offer other services, but it’s nice to know there’s an option to get people off Windows. There might be demand for it with concerns around recall and the demands of Windows 11.

    Do with this what you want, I don’t have the time, skills, or network to make this viable myself.

    Taking a break from a rewatch of The Strain to watch Abigail was doubly hilarious, it’s like watching Fet get nerfed.

        Ugh I bought some smoked NZ king salmon yesterday as a treat and now I think I know what I’m having for lunch… scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on toast with garden chives and parsley. And a tiny smidge of homemade hot sauce

          That sounds amazing.

          Back in the Covid days when my workplace was providing meals (in an attempt to make sure we showed up at work) I had the opportunity a few times to take home uneaten smoked salmon sandwiches from lunch. I made salmon risotto for dinner, then scrambled eggs with salmon for breakfast. It was really, really good.

      Green jasmine tea and toast please. Also a handful of gummy vitamins to replace all the vitamins lost while I have been on pain meds for so long.

    I thought I’d check out the tax return forms just got fun but the ATO website is being smashed at the moment.

    Anyway I can’t lodge it till I get the pre fill information uploaded by various places.

    Don’t imagine I’m going to get much back this year if last year was anything to go by.

      Getting a lot back means you have overpaid during the year for some reason, if you only get a small return it means that you have had the use of that money earlier instead of giving the govt. an interest free loan.

      I should be getting a decent return this year because I paid a fair bit extra into Super, plus a bit for the rebate on health insurance premiums. Unfortunately I have some money invested in EFTs and it always takes a few months for them to put together the final statements so I can’t put in my return and get the money back until that is done. I’m looking forward to the time after I retire and I can have all my investments in a nice simple tax free super fund and not have to worry about all this tax return nonsense.
