It's gonna be a big weekend. My Corolla struggled a little bit going up the hill.

I've just done psychometric testing for the first time, for a potential job. This seems like a really dumb way to select candidates.

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

It is. You should check your gut for other weirdnesses.

This is the perfect weather to make health and fitness changes if you need to. Also getting rid of clutter. C'mon guys. You've got this!

Anyone want to work on their functional strength? It would be my honour to allow you to come over and mop my floors and scrub my bathroom.

Oh man. What a long fucking sleep.

Day is almost over. Chilling in bed it is then lol

[-] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago

I know I keep saying tinyest's language is exploding. but hes now repeating almost all words said to him (or trying to anyway). He can now say "if you say so" and uses 2 words together pretty frequently. Sadly its "daddy, no" a lot of the time. But hes also become a lot less stingy with his hugs. And you best be prepared cause sometimes they are surprise hugs.

Once kids start talking, it's great!!! You're in for a good time.

A warning, kids have no filter. They say exactly what they see.

Did a first aid course today. It was way more interesting then I expected (I am scarred by some terrible OH&S seminars). Also a bit confronting. And there's an app you can sign up to and opt-in to be notified if someone nearby is having a cardiac arrest. So you can hightail it there and help while the ambulance comes. On the one hand I'd love to do that but it also terrifies me

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

I was working at this joint and I had to study for my first aid renewal. The Minister came in with his grand kids to have a chat. This little boy about 4, grabbed the handle of the iron and went to pull it off the ironing board towards himself. Fuck me. I took the biggest step and managed to grab it in time. When they left someone said "You nearly had to use your first aid then. That was a real life scenario".

One of the pumpkins has aphids really severely and it’s starting to spread to the others…

I’ve sprayed soapy water and physically wiped as many as I could off but am a bit worried. Especially as ants are farming them.

Replacing the pita bread kilojoules with iceberg and olive oil for lunch. Turning a salad wrap into a salad. Went okay.

Dumbest thing I've done in a bit today.

I went to grab a snack from the lunchroom and ended up with a little biscuit and tried to eat it.

The texture strange and didn't break up like I thought so I chucked it in the bin.

Couple of hours later I look again at the box of snacks and see in light pen on the lid "Not Edible".

It now dawns on me that I tried to eat a biscuit made out of plasticine.

I was tired this morning :(

[-] underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Maybe the real dummy is the one storing plasticine biscuits in the lunchroom though? Just why??

I am a grandparent to a Bluetooth baby now.

Is there a lemmy suggestions box? I like to be able to hide users without blocking them and I'd like to be able to disable comment replys. God dam making some comments out of the instance and I get a bunch of updates from aggressive nerds that I really don't care for. I tended to disable comments on reddit as soon as I'd commented due to notification avoidance.

Three days into a hardcore diet change and while I know it's what I needed to do to break some bad habits... ouchhhhh... just a hurdle to get over though!

Steven Wilson released a new album recently and I'm digging it. His last few albums had more of an attempted pop spin on them whereas this one is two songs that go for around 20 minutes each. I don't think we'll get another Hand. Cannot. Erase. but it's good to see a turn in that direction again.

aldis got a camping sale coming up. If any of you were thinking "man, I'd love to try camping but dont have the gear" this is a pretty good entry point. Kmart is even cheaper (but you get what you pay for there).

[-] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

ooh thank you! I need to build up my own gear now I'm not with my ex (who was a long time camper and generally stocked up)

[-] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't want to go to bed but I'm tired. Maybe a nanna nap will work.

Edit: Too risky. May as well go to bed.

Goodnight all ❀️

Does anyone use something other than Spotify? Looking for a new steaming app.

So I have a choice to make about this friday that I need to make today to ask for leave.

Friday's are usually a light work day 9 out 10 times.

Should I take it off this week or stick it out and just spend the day at work?

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

If you really need a break, take the day off. If you have shit to do, take the day off. If you haven't had a day off for a while, take the day off.

Otherwise go in and plan your next day off.

Food market was bountiful today. I've got a rolled chicken roast for dinner, and a bag of brussels sprouts to go with it. A random cheese turned out to be cheddar flavoured with salt and vinegar, so I'll have to be a bit judicious in how I use that. I also have tons of fruit of all varieties.

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Overthebackfence has some entertaining lemon printed knickers

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Over my back fence there's cats fighting/rooting.
