I’ve been listening to Chappell Roans album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and I’m in love.
lovey mushy goo goo shite
My partner came home from work last night and started playing Stellaris while listening to the album as well. He said we should go see her if she comes to Aus. He says one of the reasons he loves me is that I never judge him for liking Pop music, and I sing along with him to Call Me Maybe lol. He knows the lyrics better than I do.
I love my Pop Boi.
Casual lives rent free in my head running endless loops around pink pony and i love it
Knee deep in the passenger seat, and you’re eating me out
Is it casual now?Those lines are virulent, so damn catchy. Naked in Manhattan and My Kink is my Karma are my favs so far I think, but it’s hard because every song is great!
Victorian public service executives have now been awarded a pay increase between 3.5% and 4.3%.
Less than inflation.
More than the 3% that government policy caps the offer for all their other workers at. But the politicians themselves and the executives get to have different rules.
Trying to be kind about an email from a friend, where they have linked me a seek job posting for… A sales rep.
When they know I’m changing careers and have spoken to them about it. That I won’t be going back to call centre shite.
Ehhhhhhhhh. EHHHHHHHHHHH
Possible job offer.
Reference check being conducted.
If they require a police check, which they probably will, it’s 50/50 that they withdraw the offer.
Fingers crossed, 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Crossing everything for you!
Thank you! If there is a police check, I’m going to request a meeting with the general manager who I interviewed with and see what she’ll say.
Got your back on this no matter what happens
You’re an absolute legend man. Seriously ❤️
I just picked up an overtime shift and my inner accountant is thrilled. The rest of me is not so pleased with the addition of another early morning wakeup to my week ☹️
Why am I so tired today??
You ever wonder if you’re just tired a lot or if you’re actually Stage 3 something or other and just haven’t gone to the doctor? I think I might have hypochondria.
a; Noooo, nooo , do not send.
b; Send sir? The money is now sent.
a; You motherfucker
I love Kitboga 🤣🤣🤣
Such beautiful weather out today! I wish I wasn’t stuck in an office for most of it. Tonight is gonna be froooosty, I’m STOKED that I can roll outta bed late tomorrow. Have a meeting on campus at 2, plan is to try and finish all my work off by noon and quietly clock off after that. Would love to have a stroll round campus after if tomorrow’s as beautifully sunny as today.
So, Planet Ark are trying to register an account to join aussie.zone. I would normally have rejected their application, as they are giving the vibe of ‘we want to spam’. So, I reached out to them on their contact form. I thought it possible they had a google analytics alert and noticed us discussing their products recently.
But, that was longer ago than I realised: It feels like we talked about that a few weeks ago. So now I’m back to thinking they want to spam. Gah!
I want answers, but I don’t want ads. I suppose I’ll wait to see if/how they respond to my website query.
man I cant see a good reason why brands need to be on a social media platform of this size, that’s just my 2 cents.
Businesses routinely have alerts on their brands with Google. It’s quite possible they got an email from Google that we were talking about their products. That part actually makes sense to me.
If they had applied for an account within a week or so of that discussion, and said in their application they were joining the site in response to it - I’d have thought it completely reasonable.
Am I gonna have to use leet speak or completely omit mentioning brands now
Well, 11.5 degrees looks to be as warm as I’m getting today. I’m off to have a stroll around the neighbourhood with Mr Woof.
Blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah BLAH. blah…
Excuse me, but I think you meant blah blahblahblah blah blah.
Thank you for agreeing to our terms. The deal is sealed.
Blah?!
Yes. You have chanted the Oath. Welcome Brother.
Blah 👍
Done the last of the repotting and prepared 3 big pots for jalapeno seedlings. Sewed up the outdoor toy penguin and put it out. Done daiso shopping, bought gloves, no one had fingerless gloves so imma just cut the fingers off myself. Got all the sewing haberdashery I need to do some french embroidery on my jumper. All the tapestry fabric for recovering the chairs is cut out and ready. Pizza is being done. Cats are brushed and fed.
I refuse to listen to the news, the whining from the dems is driving me crazy. Just fricking use power and do something.
Gratitude thread!
Booked in for five hours of karaoke last night. I think in the last hour, I sang one song. But it was really nice to spend time with friends who I can be myself around and have fun with :) they accept my weirdness!
(Is that not the point of friendship? Some people I feel like I have to mask around more than others)
I’m also grateful for reading the responses to these threads! :)
Grateful I got WFH approved tomorrow to take the edge off everything I gotta do this week! And grateful to weekend me for meal prepping enough to last me til Thursday 👍
Grateful to have been paid and can take the cat to the vet this week for his vaccinations and a checkup for his bile vomit.
Grateful for the cat, he’s the best thing to have happened to me.
Grateful for my partner supporting me and Mickey, for all our faults.
I am grateful for salt, making life delicious. Some lovely sunshine, learning new things, and my bossy cat.
What did you sing?
We sang all kinds of things! Mostly pop, rock and a hint of musical theatre. Friend also added the Star Spangled Banner and made it scream-o.
If you change your password, but your password manager fails to capture it did you really even change your password? According to the system? Yes, you very much did.
A password manager that doesn’t capture a password is about as useful as an indicator on a BMW.
Last pass?
At least LastPass asks you if you want to update your password after you’ve changed it.
I’m using 1password and much prefer it. But it asks when the password is generated. What if the password field has a bunch of rules I need to follow and have to make edits after?
Check out Bitwarden. Free and pretty decent.
yep! Rubbish until the end hey.
Didn’t they have a massive data breach 2 years ago? I swear it was them.
Yes, I believe so. I CERTAINLY wouldnt use it personally. But its more a point to my security team: Either block it, or endorse a corporate solution. Till then im not *technically * doing anything wrong.
Today, I heard someone refer to a flannel shirt as a “western shirt”…I had not heard that one before.
You hadn’t heard it before because they’re wrong.
Whaaaaat! Western shirt - tight fitting cotton plaid, sometimes with press studs. Flannel shirt - made with flannelette cotton (which is thicker) or wool, worn looser with ordinary buttons.
Two different style of shirts.
I grew up hearing “western shirt”, another term was a Miller Shirt as that was the popular brand. But then it had to have pearl snaps. I expect flannel shirts have buttons.
Well I asked about it, and they meant “western suburbs” so I was like …ohh snap!
oh
They are clearly not western suburbs natives. Anyone who is would know the official uniform is adidas, hoodies, and fancy sneakers.
