Thanks for all the congratulations on the unit acquisition yesterday. I'm still settling into believing it's real, especially after two let-downs.
It's going to be strange not obsessively checking the real estate sites and doing the rounds of the OFIs every Saturday.
Now to continue with Operation Sort Shit and decide what to take and what to dispose of.

A temporary storage space like Storage King is your friend here I reckon. I found when I moved, that I just put everything I wasn't sure about in that space, and only put stuff in the new place that I KNEW I wanted there. The doubtfuls were sorted later and a lot went to next generation family and to charity etc as I just didn't have room for them in the new house. Ended up with the new place having ONLY stuff I wanted to keep. This really really helped my decision making on the other stuff. It also helped that the storage space was just up the road from a Vinnies which dramatically eased the actual disposal. Worth considering as a tactic.

Off 'sick' today. I've earned it damnit.
I should have done the same. Iโm standing on the corner of Struggle Street and the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
At home with allergies. Partial fib.
I don't think I've suffered from hayfever this late in the season. Generally a spring thing and gone by Dec/Jan....It's friggin March and I'm still dealing with it
Same! I haven't sneezed so much this time of year

That's what those sick days are for!
I wanted to today as well but the work would only pile up for me the next day which is even a busier day.
I really hate that I feel I can't be off sick because of that.
That's the reason I've taken like 5 sick days in 9 years and am drowning in excess annual leave.
Every day off I take results in about 1.2 days of extra work I need to catch up on when I get back ๐ซค
At least I'm very often solo in the office so my presenteeism doesn't get others sick.
Yeah, this year the way things have fallen, my monday and tuesdays are loaded and if I'm not there the work just piles up.
The person I work with, while our roles differs, just leaves the massive backlog for me to maintain and this places so much pressure on me if I take the day off when I have a scheduled workload.

Official first day of term for my Uni courses today. Time to knuckle down and get back into the studying.
Listed some old PC parts on Gumtree, the first five minutes I get the standard "I want to purchase give me your email so I can send you a phishing link" quickly followed by an account called "support" with the gumtree logo telling me I had a pending offer and to just provide my email.
This was then followed up with a second "support" account trying a different scam, and one person doing the "I will send a courier" bit.
Gumtree is so shit.

When writing a report if you need the word sixthly switch to bullet points!
random musings (but basically instant pot FTW)
I got myself an instant pot for Christmas and it has been amazing on low energy / sad days. Today I was WFH and feeling terrible, but I managed to get rice on mid afternoon ((cup of rice, cup of water turn it on and wait for it to beep at me). Then I managed to saute some onions garlic etc, added lentils, random spices and some leftover tomatoes and I got yummo dal stew with the rice. Enough for a couple more meals too. And I feel much better for having eaten something hearty and homemade.
I realise when my energy is low I can chop a few things, but nursing multiple pots on the stove then cleaning them all up is too much. Having something that I can put stuff in and it does it all and just beeps when my stew/beans/whatever is ready is great.
Also been making yogurt in it which is also awesome.

Alrighty. Halfway through preparation for interview on Wednesday. Shame it's going to be 37 degrees so I'll be ubering instead of PT so I'm not a sweaty mess.
That aside, if anyone has a ps5 controller with stick drift, push the analogue sticks down for 10 seconds, then turn clockwise for 10 seconds and again counter clockwise for 10 seconds.
It actually works and saved me 100 bucks

A young brushtail just tried to have a go at Mr Woof through the glass of the back door! It was full on banging on the outside of the door right in front of him. Mr Woof is now outside doing a full security patrol while Miss Meow supervises from inside.

I'm going to Aldi. What coffee beans should I get for my plunger?
If it helps I like strong cappuccinos and I use the #13 calabrese pods for my Aldi pod machine because the #14 intensio is disgusting.
I ended up with this because there was not much choice.
Solid choice. It's what I get if the international stuff isn't available.

Any of the South American ones. Brazil, Colombia or the special blend. Essentially any of the 1 kg bean bags are good value for money, not the dark roasts though.

When I look at the dating pool I think yup this is why I'm still single and I just don't have the energy for it anymore.
I guess a lot of straights feel the same, even if statistically the odds are more in their favour overall.
Some things dramatically reduce the โpoolโ to near zero sometimes. This actually a good thing. Dealbreakers are just that.
Sounds like you are looking for queer. Iโm only a smidge that direction but 100% childfree. Filters did not offer a smorgasbord!
