Started getting a sore throat yesterday but I thought it was because I didn't drink much water. Boy was I wrong. Woke up with a migraine, fever, chills, bodily pains and of course, a way worse fucking sore throat. Hopefully I can recover faster than I did when I was sick two months ago because I have to do a presentation in five days.
Presentation went AMAZING, best one yet. Lots of questions and discussions during the session which is exactly what I want. And a possible new client that came to the session has already emailed me. That's how it's done!

I've decided to buy a phone tripod and make lame social media videos playing covers.
Will it be a waste of time? Absolutely.
Will it be fun? Depends if Gibson makes a star appearance lol

Another presentation today! My last in the tour, feeling a lot more positive and less nervous than I did on the day of the last one. Mindset is currently - going to kill it.

I think back to a year ago when I was dealing with the old job. I wanted to try get into recording again around the grand final long weekend but realised I had to make moves to try get out of there. Things have been good with the current job and I'm talking some days off around this public holiday without any plans so I might try get into things again
7
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
Recording music?
3
tombruzzo - 2mon
Yeah, I put down some riffs I was thinking of doing something with. I was thinking I could structure some songs and rerecord and layer until I'm happy. But I figured it was better for me to spend my evenings putting in for jobs instead

Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
I hope you can get back to it man ❤️
1
tombruzzo - 2mon
I'd love to even just put out an EP of my own stuff at some point. Just so I can say I've done it
2
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
If you need any help let me know man. Always happy to lend a hand :)
1
tombruzzo - 2mon
I'll probably get stuck at some point. I'll let you know and you can help try salvage my dud mixes

Happy to man :)
Always up for a jam if you feel like it.

ahhh it's all happening I've ripped out the corner cabinet, painted down the hardiboard waterproofing, fitted marine ply to level the floor, plumber tomorrow to fit the new shutoffs, detach the brewery piping from the kitchen and put in a new trap for our dishywashy, Monday sparky comes to fit socket for dishywashy and then we install dishywashy. Meanwhile, I have Friday-monday off as well as cup day so I'm FINALLY GONNA FINISH LAYING THAT FUCKING CRAZY PAVING. and His Lordship shall complete the pointing on the back wall, paint the side wall and start work on the cleat wall.

Seagoon_ - 2mon
so much decluttering
a whole suitcase worth of clothes and a big box of books
feels bad to get rid of good clothes , that's my past poverty talking
Also, no more buying personal non necessary things, not even books.
I have enough.

It is better to give stuff away then have it lying around unused. I can't wait until this weekend. Planning a big declutter!!!
5
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
I'm spring cleaning and decluttering too. On the good days I'll do my usual everyday chores then choose something extra. I call this my bonus. It might be cleaning out a cupboard or organising my sock drawer depending on how active I feel.
5
Seagoon_ - 2mon
Friday is my cupboard sorting day , this is extra :)
this house is so easy to look after, such a relief after the last place which was a nightmare
for example, the last place was super dusty because the carpet was really old and degrading , this place has mostly wooden floors and new carpet, it's easy

CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
I like to have all my work done before 2:30 everyday so I can relax before the man comes home to massage my feet and fetch my cuppa tea and slippers.

Rusty Raven - 2mon
I have whipped and snipped some edges and the tallest clumps of grass in the backyard. Now my arms are feeling a bit wobbly. Not sure if I'll do the mowing today or tomorrow. I should do a bit more cardboard/mulch application and start on planting vegie seeds, but my motivation is very low today.
6
Taleya - 2mon
I keep going out and looking at the area I'm gonna pave, checking all the supplies are ready to go and have to keep reminding myself that I can't start it now it's the middle of a bloody work day

"Panel needs replacing on a car? Going through insurance will run it at $2200. Skipping all the paperwork going straight through me will be $1100. However, if you want it done on the weekend, cash in hand, let's make it $800."

Still got the big red boat? It was a fun looking car.

Nah, had to move that car on a year ago. It was beautiful, fun and entirely impractical. I've now got a little zippy hatch. Compromised on the convertible by getting a sunroof, lol.

I used to borrow a housemates convertible. It was fun, I'm glad I drove one, I don't want one.

Cash economy is strong. I'm moderately sure my first few employers were paying me cash but not paying taxes/super etc. I was a clueless teenager getting cash envelopes and didn't know better. I'm probably owed a couple hundred dollars in super from each of them.

SpinMeRound - 2mon
It just made me go "and we wonder why insurance costs so much these days!"
2
LowExperience2368 - 2mon
I would love for this to happen honestly. I was quoted 2.5k to replace a panel a few years ago. Haven't done it because the car is probably worth 5k and it's still functioning okay ish.

Work from home tomorrow then Friday and Monday off. There's something going on at work where they'll pay for us to go to the museum so I think I'll take them up on that for Sunday

Where can we find these jobs that pay us to visit a museum?

It's something my manager just offered me out of nowhere. Something about being able to cover the price of tickets with the company budget

I've missed having a modded console to mess around with.
I just love having complete control over a piece of hardware. If it's yours you should be able to load whatever you like onto it.
5
tombruzzo - 2mon
I've liked that with the handheld I got. I changed the OS and it has opened up so much more capability from the same hardware.
I think that's been the appeal of the Steamdeck for people as well. It's just a linux computer in a handheld design so you can put whatever you want on there. There are launchers for GOG and Epic games, and all these apps for emulation. Valve seems to understand people who play games buy games, so you just need to give them the best device for doing so.
3
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
Exactly. It's that freedom to do as you please.
At the moment I'm using my ps5 controller to play pc games streamed via moonlight to the switch.
It can do so much! Which is why I got sick of the iPhone. Great hardware, locked down insanely tightly. And no jailbreak.
2
tombruzzo - 2mon
Nintendo makes good hardware since they've been doing it for so long. A jailbroken 3DS is meant to be really good. And I saw a video that even though people made fun of the Wii for being underpowered, the hardware was really well put together. It seems like the biggest bottleneck is the software and Nintendo keeping everything locked down

Not a huge drama, it's a bedding layer for recycled concrete chunks of varying thicknesses anyway. The guidelines are fixed points, as long as there's no turds i'm G

this is for the paving?
To me that job would be so overwhelming I'd have to break it down into steps.

Taleya - 2mon
Ayup. Nah the screeding is the easy part.
calculating the slopes and digging all that shit out then dragging up, grading and compacting by hand all the fucking road base was the hard part.
Chunky concrete placement is puzzle time. And I'm fantastic at spatial relations and tetris :D

Dragula is a great trashy show. Drag queens bitching each other out and being all sassy and witty, while designing horror themed drag outfits. I didn't know I was a fan of this subculture until now
