Waiting on a work call from London before I can sign off for the week. I said 6pm Mel / 9am London. A Friday night work call is bad enough, now they're late. They've got until 6:15pm, then my working week is over. Too bad.

Damn Europe and their time zones. I prefer meeting with my US east coast colleagues vs Europe as it’s 7am but i got up at 6am today and just fired up the laptop before a shower and finished at 2pm today!

There's a YouTuber/writer I really like, I subscribed to her Patreon for a bit when we were getting the 1k a fortnight from Centrelink. She had like a monthly live discussion thing. Sometimes it was to talk about stuff, or it's coworking on things etc. However she lives in like England or Ireland and it was always at like their nighttime so thus it'd be like 5am - 7am and yeah no I'm not doing that. I had to end my support just because I wasn't using the benefits of what I was paying.
