While Seagoon's cats look relaxed but alert my dog looks bored and pervy.

Bill and Ted say High. ๐ธ๐ธ
spoiler
Ted is the one who looks crazy, Bill is the one with hate in his eyes.
I would not mess with Bill. Great to hear they get along though :)
Fuck me. It's taken me fucking hours to remember my password. I have less trouble getting into mygov.
Ok this is the last thing I'm gonna say on this matter. I've saved my dets on Chrome. I've written it in my book. I'll get the man to save it on every possible thing he can think of.
The reason I persevered is because I actually like you guys and it's a pretty positive atmosphere here and I'm a positive person.
I fucking hate technology. I have a headache.
I'm using my duck duck go browser because my app isn't working and I'm getting conflicting error messages and it's a pain in the bum!
I swear when I got logged out the conversation between my husband and I went something like "have you tried Google's thingy tdhvo5s#%@&/4""pqsqueezing your left teste and then check your emails?". Me: huh. You do it. I'll make coffees.
I use a password manager called Bitwarden.
It can be used with phones and tablets and also has extensions for browsers.
Might be handy to also use it as well in combo with everything youโre already doing.
Got an interview for the place that headhunted me on Thursday.
Where I am now is ok, just a bit of a dead end as far as IT goes. Small to medium sized software company. But the pay is 15% better at the other place.
Letโs see how we go. Iโll give em the ol razzle dazzle lol
Found out today that three of my colleagues have Covid and I have mild symptoms that I thought were hayfever, and decided to test and I too have the spicy cough. I'm a bit gutted as it's my mums birthday on Wednesday and we were meant to see my cousin before she flys off to live in Ireland on Saturday. Quite upset tbh but feeling okay overall.
Guess what? New account. Third time lucky?
How do we know it's really you? You might be pretending to be somebody you're not on the internet...
Panettone as economic indicator.
Every year I go to Brunswick to buy xmas panettones and other treats. They are usually sold out by the 1st week of Dec . This year prices are up again and the shelves were still full. Talking to another customer she was telling me they just can't afford it, entertaining family and friends they buy quite a few and that would quickly add up to close to $200 each event.
phew, Iโm back! The update logged my old account out and somehow I have been unable to log back in. This is the new one, for now.
We will need some verification

Oh I thought I was the only one who got kicked out. I'm logged in to my main now though
Combination of a few things has meant last week was extremely quiet at work, haven't had to do much at all. Looks like it's going to stay that way for the rest of the week until we close for Christmas on Thursday! A welcome relief with other nonsense at work still ongoing
I got lucky this year with work and it was quiet for the last few days, normally itโs hectic as crap.
By the way not sure if you saw my post from yesterday but kippers at Woolies are on sale for 2 bucks this week.
In case anybody hasn't seen, our instance updated and this new version of Lemmy has made enabling 2 factor authentication really really easy to set up. Before you had to fuck around with the settings and get a long code, type that out in your auth app, and then get another long code and type it into your account, but now it's just like setting up any other 2fa system: you scan a QR code in your auth app and you're linked!
Also everybody's 2fa has been turned off, so if you previously had it setup you need to do it again
And for anyone who didn't have it, now's a great time to turn it on! I can recommend authy, as it has device sync and backups (so if you break or lose your phone, you can recover your 2fa codes and still log in)
Now my Jerboa is working because I needed to update it in playstore. Of course I did. I am an idiot.
Thankyou! Thought I was going bananas!
I got logged out again too but thankfully lemmy let me straight back in.
Tradies skedaddled for the day, His Lordship immediately ran to take a shit. Underhouse looks oddly more open and yet more crowded, depending on where you look. (new inverter much smaller than old gas ducting, but ducts themselves slightly larger. And shinier, so more visible)

The bacon looks a bit different today. Is it vegetarian? I might grab some tacos and a croissant instead thanks.
๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฅโ๏ธ
Regular bacon is still available and is not made of human meat.
I think we all needed this reassurance.
If one more person tries to push something through before Christmas I'm gonna tell them to f off. My manager knows what I've got on, if they wanna push something through they can. Everyone else can get stuffed. Only 4 days left, god forbid we just coast to shutdown.
for reals. Boss keeps trying to ramp up stuff with sites and I'm like "dude, you may have been producing content longer, but Ive been front line with the cinemas for 12 fucking years, outside of emergency repairs no one's doing shit to their equipment until after the holiday rush. All you're doing is pissing me AND them off."
So the new comments are highlighted? Pretty cool.
You log back in, you get logged out, you log back in and you shake it all about
Watching a Flemish series on Netflix. The subtitles make the characters look better than they are.
The swearing is truly appalling, the equivalent of saying fucking cunt or what is the worst thing to say in Australia, but the medieval Vlaamse swears is translated literally and comes across as quaint ๐
