I didn't get the job. They asked for references, I gave them, and they say they won't progress with me.

Unless one of my references lost it about me, which I highly doubt, then idk. I guess there was someone better.

Edit: thank you for the kind words and support 💜💜💜 I sent back an email asking for any feedback, so hopefully they get back to me and I will know what I need to address lol

Got down the bellarine last night. Fell asleep and missed geelong station again and woke up at marshall lol. 3rd time now. The chairs are too comfy.

But geelong station at 9pm is interesting. Only 2 arrests over an hour while waiting for the bus, no idea what for. Average wed. night I guess. Stupid place to pull shit as the copshop is right next door. Literally walked out the station, nabbed them and walked back.

But fuck it's good to have some alone time. Walking here from the bus stop (15min walk) in almost pitch black, no noise except the surf in the background was bliss. Reminded me of when I was kid (13/14) punching cones in the dunes w/ mates and walking back in the wee smalls. Brought back memories. p's were strictish back in melbs but down here nothing mattered. No questions, no curfew. thinking back pretty lucky w/ that absolute freedom at that age here.

edit: opium farm looking healthy:

I ate cabbage. The man gets in the car yabbering on. Me thinking wait for it, wait for it. He stops mid sentence gasping for air, winding the window down like his life depends on it. Me laughing so hard I nearly wet myself. It's has been a great day indeed.

woohoo found an avocado pit splitting in my compost heap. Pot that fucker out and gimme some more trees

I think an op shop dud my girlfriend got me was this Tommy Hilfiger sweater. It has a really closed neck hole like it wanted to be a turtleneck then just gave up. So it can look a bit weird when you wear a collared shirt with it, which is what I'd expect you to do.

And since it's solid white you can see anything that's put on underneath it. So you ideally need a plain white shirt because any prints or patterns will just show through. It's one of those pieces of clothing that's less of a hidden gem and more like ,'yep, I can see why this is at the op shop.'

Hello. I love reading this thread. You bunch are very entertaining.

Lol

Best part is it came in the mail with a cancellation of an infringement notice that I took the rap for but did not commit.

I feel odd because there's no crisis to fix, no fight for survival.

I'm wired to be constantly on alert or pushing through another issue.

But now it's quiet. And I don't know what to do.

It's an odd feeling.

Goodnight ❤️

Good morning people. I hope youse have a great day.

Pretty sure I'm either sick with the flu or some kind of gastro.

Blergh.

But at least I have the switch to keep me company. Oh and also Gibson of course 🐱

Today at the beach I found a mop of either squid or octopus eggs, the ovules are 5 cm long and joined together in the middle. There were no little animals in them that I could see.

Who wants a beer? Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺

Wake up babe, there's new Stargate coming!!!!!

Wow I did not think I would be so disappointed but here we are.

Still not response to my request for feedback, but I'm not expecting them to either. It just sucks to not know where I went wrong.

I just to want to disappear

tired, will do some dishes, make dinner, feed cats, take out bins , then crash

I get flexible deadlines in uni because of my ADHD but I don't think I should be. My goal for next year is to do things on time.

Turn on Windows computer for the first time in a while… game won’t open and the computer has high usage doing nothing. Go to open Windows Defender and it’s now linked to my Microsoft account, and trying to make me buy a Windows Defender subscription (and not doing a scan when I click ‘no thanks’). That’s dirty.

I found a different way and am scanning now but Microsoft get slimier and scammier by the day.

For anyone else who rides the 57 or anything else near the kids hospital. Expect issues. Pic pinched from the OtherPlace

o lord. Temu order came. Several thousand lead testers (His Lordship's anxiety sparked after the lead paint discovery and he wants to obsessively check every inch of his brew gear. Which is fair enough, you want DTs from delicious beer, not lead dust)

I also got him a sticker saying "I ❤️ HAIRY BUMHOLES"

More nasturtium flowers have popped, three full blown now and one more budding. The alyssum have started blooming. Hopefully I see more butterflies.

I regret choosing such low maintenance plants though. It made sense. The pumpkins would honestly have been way too much work. But at least when I have plants to care for it’s another thing that occupies my mind and pulls it back into the real world, rather than being so much on the internet.

I feel like (outside of little pockets like here) the internet is just becoming weirder and meaner.

Morning all. Anyone up yet?

anyone know where I can get a PREMIUM UNLEADED sign for a gag gift? Or even just an unleaded one.

not an "unleaded only" sticker, it ruins the bit

Going to see Wicked For Good tomorrow, so I am of course making an ✨ event ✨ of it, included themed nails and probably sparkly eyeshadow. It's what got me through this week.
