Tomorrow's thread posted! I think I got the date right this time :)

Goodnight all.

Edit: realised Seagoon made one 8 minutes after me with pizza emojis. I like the pizza emojis better :P

Just saw an insta story of a group of friends together that I’ve hung out with a few times during this year (not super close with them but neither are they with each other). We have a group chat used in the past to plan catch ups… not this time though. Maybe it’s just a coincidence they’re all together but can’t help but feel purposely excluded.

Wasn’t going to drink tonight but now I want one.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I'm sorry to hear that. You sound like fun to hang out with. ♥

I have watched Gladiator in preparation for the sequel tomorrow.

Are you not entertained?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Well go on then.

I thought it was burrito night

I'm hungry 😔

I’ve just seen something about everyone getting age verified for social media, not just kids. Not sure if it’s a reliable source but it’s got me a bit worried. I really don’t want to link my government id to social media.

I might have to download all my pics just in case I don’t get let back in. Overwhelming prospect.

I was serving a customer before and the customer behind them started complimenting their tattoos. The customer gave us a tattoo tour, and then I left them to chat whilst I found the product they wanted. I like seeing wholesome exchanges :)

This is my favourite doggy pose

Straight after his stretch he runs into the kid's room, jumps on her and runs out. 😂

I complained about being put on the spot, about me asking for her input and getting nothing and all after the day of crappiness yesterday, pointed out "sorry you feel that way" isn't really an apology. And now i'm the bad guy, and shes gonna call and tell people we are not going.

Great. Could've sat down and had a civil conversation about it rather than it become a fight and I sleep in the spare bed... Everythings gotta be a fight, and I am not into it.

Entered the new place today.

sad realisationsOh man it is somehow a lot smaller and sadder than I remember. And the road noise is so much more noticeable than at my place. I'm not even sure my fridge will fit. E: I have gone back and measured and it will JUST barely fit. Thank fuck. ~~Like an idiot I didn't measure anything while I was inspecting (because it was tenanted).~~ I am really, really cracking the sads right now back at my current place knowing how much I have to give up. It just doesn't feel like what I've worked for at all... Fucking rental market...

Feels like I really am saying goodbye to a whole life in stages. Will any of it be worth it? I'm going to have to fast forward the chat with work about whether I'll be able to work primarily remotely after I finish uni. The only way I see out of any of this long-term is to move in with family to hyper save up a deposit. But the only family I can move in with is interstate.

I definitely need something to look forward to because after slogging it out for years to get residency and building a life for myself I'm really sad at having to shrink it so much. I'm ready to live more expansively. I've really sacrificed a lot to try and finish this degree and it's going so much worse than I expected...

And on top of that, couch guy has turned up only to find that it's too small for his car despite my telling him the dimensions ahead of time. So that's fallen through as well, arrrgh... what do I do now??? Pay someone on airtasker to take it?

I think you get two free hard rubbish collections a year? Or am I making that up… maybe check with your council and use it as a backup option

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

My current council doesn't do on-demand hard rubbish :/ The next booking available is well after I've moved out. I've got a friend with a station wagon, we might be able to take it to the tip. A shame as it's a perfectly functional couch but I can't seem to move it online

There’s definitely a certain “look” for people that work in JB-HiFi. Is it a phenomenon?
