In a bit of exciting news I'm becoming a pub trivia host. It will be a bit of consistent side money and whilst not ideal because I have to go to a place and do a thing, it's close to home and I've been looking for side work for a while and gotten nothing, so this is a nice change.

Wow that sounds like a really interesting side gig!

It's definitely one of the more interesting Going To A Place jobs you can get so I don't mind

SpinMeRound - 2mon
That's so fun, good on you!! I've considered doing it in the past, I think you'd see some hilarious stuff.
1
tombruzzo - 2mon
I haven't properly hosted yet, but there seems to be a balance between actually being a host and you could just run through the questions and the crowd would follow along anyway.
So it probably won't be too difficult once I get used to it, and it's good to know the entire show isn't hinging on you

There's a woman at work who really likes the colour pink. I noticed one time I was helping her with something and saw she had a pink travel cup, pink sunglasses, and even changed the theme of her browser to be pink.
It's something I keep noticing about her now like a recurring bit about a side character on a TV show. I hope other people have noticed as well because it would be a nice thing to include on the cake for her birthday month or anything else work does for her

tombruzzo - 2mon
Another day in the office by myself. We're having billing issues with one of the big social media companies so I'm using the time to work on backburner things I've wanted to do

YarraB out on ragin' again? Thanks for the post, Melba!

I think we're going to have to have a word with YB's supervisor - maybe put YB on a first warning. Has anyone got a copy of the KPIs for the role?
5
SpinMeRound - 2mon
Ah but then we run the risk of accidentally performance managing YB out. Have we got a suitable back up plan or are we prepared to recruit for the role? Do the absences outweigh performance and can be fill the gap with current resources?

Rusty Raven - 2mon
I think our lack of personal leave, annual leave, benefits or pay of any kind may hamper any recruitment efforts. Based on this reality I believe a PIP should only be initiated if posting levels fall below 0%.

Best day of the week and why?

Friday cos Friday night beers especially if the weather is nice.
4
Seagoon_ - 2mon
drinking beer outside with mates on a warm Friday night is bliss
3
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
Sure is! Often have mates drop by for a bevvy on a Friday night in the summer months.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
Friday. Have a night where I don't have to go to bed early for work the next day.
4

Weekends because time with mr seagoon

Good morning all. :)

Good morning. Bit chilly outside today.

I have a modded switch!
Fuck yes.
6
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
Sitting around waiting for a deposit to land sucks ass.
That's pretty much it lol
Edit: 2 more mins. I'm right near the store so I can Karen it the fuck up if need be.
Edit: all is well.
6
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
What does this mean? Are you hanging for a shit?
7
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
I sold my phone yesterday and they reckoned the deposit took 24 hours.

Oh right

I have a pretty good idea what this is before I click it lol

What are electrolytes? Do you even know?

SpinMeRound - 2mon
They're... what they use to make Brawndo!

They're what transmits the lightning through the meat. We are all electrified meat.

I am the corrosion on the anode.

I am an electron of the anode when there is no current

SpinMeRound - 2mon
Overworked to functioning, depending on the minute.
4
melbaboutown - 2mon
Swinging between depletion and burnout, yay
4
Seagoon_ - 2mon
functioning, kinda
I get down too easily when I have back pain
what isn't on the chart is getting the stuff done that needs to get done ( I suppose that come under coping )
and I would say I am improving
4
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
Some days I'm blue. Some days I'm green.
4
Seagoon_ - 2mon
But are you super green?
4
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
Yes I'm super green cos I'm a red eyed tree frog.
4
LowExperience2368 - 2mon
I'm blue da ba dee da ba die
2
tone212_ - 2mon
Physical - overworked (this is as I have a back muscle strain from last week that just won't get better and is painful, hoping to be back at focused level soon)
Emotional - somewhere between functioning and overworked, will be better emotionally once I'm physically better. Funny how the two are very linked.
4
Thornburywitch - 2mon
Varies with the time of day. Hovers over Functioning but goes up and down.
4
Force_majeure123 - 2mon
Functioning tending to overworked I think
3
SpinMeRound - 2mon
Been playing Stray, it's such an interesting game. Went in knowing nothing about it except you're a cat who gets lost, but it's been fun and unsettling and the puzzles are good. It's different from the usual games I play which are investigate every single corner, collect, grind, etc.
6
Seagoon_ - 2mon
Been a good day, got stuff done. :)
Good night everyone, sweet dreams 😙

Pilk - 2mon
Oops, I bought a device at an outlet place thinking it was a 2-in-1 (360 hinge). Imagine my surprise now that it has arrived. Still a good deal, but not quite the deal I thought.
May I please have a large cappuccino, O Mighty and Gracious Chef? 🙏

Hi chef. Bit late today, but could I please have a salmon & veggie bowl too - with a latte not a cappucino.

When going on a holiday, would you want to go somewhere warm or cold, and why?
4
SpinMeRound - 2mon
I prefer warmth. But if it was an adventurous holiday, I don't have a preference, as long as the weather is calm.
6
Seagoon_ - 2mon
as long as I'm comfortable and dressed appropriately I don't mind
I echo Spin, calm weather is important, no storms
5
Rusty Raven - 2mon
It's not really a major factor in picking a location for me. I generally like learning about the culture and history of a place, the climate is only a factor in regards to it's influence on those. The weather becomes a factor, but only in terms of picking the best time of year to avoid things like storms and heatwaves if possible.
4
LowExperience2368 - 2mon
There's no bad weather, only bad clothing
1
Rusty Raven - 2mon
There is definitely bad weather. Cyclones, hail storms, floods, severe heat waves. Clothes cannot protect you from the nasty extremes.
2
LowExperience2368 - 2mon
That's true
The saying I've heard some Germans say
1
SaneMartigan - 2mon
Autumn.
3
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
I need to be in the sun at all times to get my summer coat cranking.
(I turn much darker in the sun)
3
tone212_ - 2mon
If the purpose of the holiday is to lounge near a pool / beach, I want it warm. Tropical. Ocean water so warm it's like going into a bath. The total opposite experience of summer in Melbourne.
If the purpose of the holiday is to sight see and walk many steps per day, I want it comfortable (not too hot, not too cold). Maximum temps around 25 without too much humidity is the sweet spot. Using Japan as an example, that means going in spring and autumn, and NOT summer (which is stifling).
2
Seagoon_ - 2mon
time for a walk at the beach :)
4
SpinMeRound - 2mon
How was your beach walk?
3
Seagoon_ - 2mon
very wimdy , I took a photo, so many white caps today
found some nice shells and met a dad looking for shells to take home for their kid so I gave him some good ones outta my pocket :)

LowExperience2368 - 2mon
FYI you can't delete / deactivate mobile Mykis when they go negative as many times as you want anymore. Only five cards per device.
4
Seagoon_ - 2mon
why would anyone have everything on their mobile I don't know
putting all of one's eggs in one's basket and it's a risk
3
LowExperience2368 - 2mon
That is true. It does save a few dollars if you delete it when the balance is negative and start from $0 again.
