This is my favourite doggy pose
Straight after his stretch he runs into the kid's room, jumps on her and runs out. 😂

Wow it's like I'm seeing double 😂
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.
That's rough. Hope things calm down a bit.
“sorry you feel that way”
oh dear.
not just me here thinking thats pretty poor, is it?
No. ☹️
It just might be a bad habit. Counselling is a really good idea. Good luck and so many hugs.

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear this. I hope things look up for you soon.
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
Entered the new place today.
sad realisations
Oh 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?
Hugs. It doesn't matter if it's not perfect as long as it's clean and safe and you have access to all the things you need and can do what you want.

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

Hello music, Ps5 and catchup!
So after the bullshit day I’ve had, this fucking Christmas thing comes back up again. My brother in law kinda got up my and the Mrs sat there are just said nothing despite multiple requests for her input.
Yeah… good thing we’ve got a couples therapy session coming up. To say I’m pissed off and hurt is an understatement.
This is why I hate xmas, everyone just seems to use it as a reason to hate you, for failing to meet terms that only exist in their mind.

If I’m standing there doing trade work let’s say, why do people think it’s ok to just stand there and watch me?
If you’re sitting there at your desk clacking away on your excel spreadsheet or whatever, and I saunter up behind you and just stare at you doing work, that would be considered kinda creepy.
I get this a lot when I make pasta in the shop or the girls are making gnocchi, but we are doing it expecting to be seen. It's performative and customers like to watch us do it because it signifies that what we're making is fresh or traditional. It's a bit different if you're not expecting to be watched by curious onlookers.

Woke up heinously early to watch a conference stream from the US .... Now the decisions - do i push through or sneak back for a last little 90 min sleep before the day starts... Yeah I am gonna have a sneaky extra sleep
Are people going through keyboards/mice like some sort of consumables?
I'm looking at reviews for a mouse, and something supposedly good about it is that it lasted some person four whole years. I've been using the mouse on my work PC for 15 years, it was the first Bluetooth mouse I purchased. I've been using this keyboard for 10 years, and the only reason I bought it was that I was no longer typing on my laptop keyboard. Side note: I would love to buy another one just like this one for home, but it doesn't exist any more.
10 years with no signs of slowing in the next decade sounds right to me. 15 years for the mouse and the only reason I'm considering replacing it is I'd like one that can switch between multiple devices and maybe do away with AA batteries. Do people really go through peripherals quickly?

I didn't know I needed to know about these, but I do. stab proof jackets
Friday night in Thornbury just got a lot more interesting.
All I know is if Mr Seagoon ever started talking like in that book at various times verily I would laugh unto I cried.

Wang Wang and Funi have returned home. I was fortunate to see one of them (I don't know which one) chomping away on bamboo for an hour. A very surreal experience. 🐼🐼
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.
I'm sorry to hear that. You sound like fun to hang out with. ♥
Neighbour's car won't start (sounds like a flat batter to me). It's a late 90s Commodore that's seen better day.
Old mate is swearing like a sailor in English and Croatian. Been going on for like a solid 30 minutes.
Ironically he fancies himself a handyman, and even my non-mechanical self can hear it's the battery.
flat batter
Trick is to keep the soda water cold and add some bicarb.

I thought very seriously about calling in sick for today. But I think that at the start of every shift 🤣 A nice tatts win so I can stop working for real would be really nice.

Watching tv and thought I was watching a feel good romance.
No. It’s turning slowly into dating a full on psychopath.
