Very cute. Would last maybe 3 weeks with my confetti monsters!

She went through it once and that's it. Took me sooooo long to put together lol

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Oh dear. Bit of a situation where the box being more fun than the toy does not exactly pan out

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago

Got an interview tomorrow lol

Perfect timing.

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Definitely a good idea to keep the momentum going after today's news!

[โ€“] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

100% Spoke to a few people today. Everyone i spoke to feels the same. They're actively on seek on their phones at work lol

These are management people.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dinner out, first time in ages. Little Mexico in Berwick. Nice enough, kinda lacking in spice levels but that's probably more on me.

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Oh noes ... Came home a bit early so I could regroup and finish off the years tasks quietly. 20 min nap on couch became 2 hour DEEEP sleep with random nightmares and now my neck is cricked and I am discombobulated.

Yep. That was 2024 in a nutshell

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

add in being disabled by sciatica for months and that's my year too

( but been an amazing year for personal emotional growth and I'm so lucky to have mr seagooon ๐Ÿฅน )

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Naw. Here's to Mr Seagoon. ๐Ÿบ

I think you just summed up my 2024 also.

I regret getting in contact with my Aunty to settle things.

She tells people that Iโ€™m the nice one Iโ€™m the family but I just choose not to get into conflicts.

She texts me this.

โ€œI havenโ€™t got any replies to my emails. You better tell your cousins to hurry up to have settlement by blah blah dateโ€

Dunno if Iโ€™m reading into too much but it does t sound very nice and feels like sheโ€™s pressuring me to rush them.

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Family conflict over property issues is the worst. Brings out a real nasty side of people. I hope like hell it'll go smoothly in my family

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Iโ€™d like to see it resolved soon but not with messages like that. Itโ€™s very demanding I feel and sheโ€™s supposed to be the executor of the will.

Thereโ€™s already been major conflict in the family with the contesting of the will and some legalities that had to play out and she dumps it all on me because Iโ€™ve chosen to stay neutral as much as I can.

Iโ€™m so tired ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

hugs

I find being tired out from stress and illness/discomfort is colouring all my feelings

Who's an idiot who thought it'd be overcast and left their bedroom blinds partly open and window wide open. No prizes for guessing.

I am being taught over and over again THOU SHALT ALWAYS LEAVE THE BLINDS DOWN AND WINDOWS CLOSED before leaving for work. No exemptions. Boiling.

Met up with some old colleagues which was nice - kind of really tied a neat bow on that chapter, one year on - now to catch up on 2.5 hrs of work and call it a day.

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No prizes

No you get an icypole too. We're all winners here.

What sort of buffoon tries to sell a house with neither stove nor oven? Wonder what other surprises lurk in this one?

Ted is so happy sleeping on the terrace among the vegie planters

So today i mostly worked like a dog. My boss admitted to faffing a little too much today and didnโ€™t as much done as she should have.

Hopefully this earns me a couple of early work finishes though tomorrow I have a work function at the end, I really hate that keeping us at work later to do these functions.

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm lucky my work functions have been totally paid and during work hours. If they were out of hours I'd bail (as nice as my colleagues are).

The cat is mad at me because there's cream in the fridge and it's not all in his belly (just some). He's given up yelling at the fridge and is now glaring at me, and occasionally mixing it up with looking very sad and lean.

I'm progressing to the next stage with this job. I don't know if it's what I want to do but if I got an offer I feel like I shouldn't knock it back. I just don't want to end up in a similar situation where I'm out in a year's time because it didn't work out
