Think I'm finally getting the hang of keeping the fire going so I don't have to sit over it and feed it. Mind you I have had to dash over and madly stoke it with paper a couple of times.

Oh DT peeps, I finally did it. I bought a new curved monitor from Officeworks. This one of anyone is curious https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/samsung-23-5-fhd-curved-monitor-lc24f390fhexxy-salc24f390. And damn man, although it was only $147 that's a lot of coin for me. The buyer's remorse sets in hard when I can't actually touch or see or use something I spent large amounts of money on
Is a curved monitor going to be as revolutionary as everyone keeps telling me it will be? I was gonna pay the extra $30 and get the 27", but I'd have had to catch a train to Wangaratta and hen cart it back, not ideal
I like my curved monitor. I wouldn't describe it as revolutionary because it is curved, but it does keep all the bits of a large screen at a better viewing distance. Having enough screen space to work on multiple documents at once is definitely a great thing though and well worthwhile.

Trying to do the weekly shop for Coles online and it is just shitting the bed. It's both super slow and keeps locking us out or telling us item can't be added or just not showing us the list. I am going to scream. Anyone else having issues?
Edit: Yeah... still having issues, I'm over it. I wanted to add more shit but I'm tired, I want to go to bed.

I've seen some recent posts here about deleting Reddit accounts. If you do decide to, please consider archiving your user page and any posts you particularly enjoyed onto the Wayback Machine. I've deleted many accounts in my time, and trust me, you'll likely feel nostalgic one day and want to go reminiscing. Or, you'll want to link to that one really well-thought-out argument you made one time in a future conversation. A lot easier to do when there's an easily accessible archive you can just access whenever you want.
I accidentally deleted my tumblr a few years ago, I had it for almost ten years but instead of deleting a sideblog I accidentally deleted the whole thing. I found out that some of my posts, or my page were saved to the Wayback Machine, either by myself or someone else I don't know. But there was a post that I had reblogged that was about like if doing x thing resonates with you it's something a lot of adhd people do.
And I reblogged it and put in the tags about how I do it but I don't have ADHD. Welp, almost ten years later since that post, and yes, young landsharkkidd, you do indeed have the adhd.

I have officially liked enough songs on Spotify for my liked songs list to be filterable to "classy" music
Does that mean I can have a "dinner party", and bring out the "fine china", and lay down the "table cloth" and say "ah-pree-see-ate" and go to "ballrooms"?

Work has ceased for the day. I'm all congested, struggling to breathe, and whistling through the nose and I do not like this one bit.
In other news, checked the rest of the saved posts and none of them were from the DT. So I screenshotted everything I need to last night. \0/
