And in the latest instalment of Fuck Nestle, they are upset because they don’t want tax transparency. It’s really bullshit how our economy is dictated by big business. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/29/multinationals-including-nestle-and-roche-push-back-against-scope-of-australias-planned-tax-transparency-laws

G'day! Felt a bit guilty about not doing my workout yesterday on account of being absolutely stuffed from work and crashing early. Woke up to do it this morning and discovered that yesterday was a scheduled rest day! So it's day 4 and I've done my exercises. I feel different in a way I can't put my finger on, sort of a teensy bit fitter. Probably psychosomatic but it works for me!

Taking the Mini Peelers to Melbourne Central today, looks like a nice one out there!

So due to my own stupidity, I’m now wearing an eye patch for a few days. My co workers are absolutely delighted.

my guts protest the meal ingested.
Noxious fumes, smell it and weep.

I should probably drop a review for Burger king fries I had at CGK jakarta airport.

The dream was to compare KFC but had to settle for jackas..

They weren't very good. and for 38000IDR (about $3.80) I'm starting to wonder if they gave me a small instead of a large as some sort of 'in' joke.

2/10.

The truffle fries with a triumvirate of dipping sauces at the hotel however.. for an inflated hotel price of $9, were bomb.

9/10 for those.

Can proudly proclaim that whilst I still hold out the tiniest hope of hearing from my ex, I know now that I couldn't have a relationship with them unless they owned their behaviour like I have reflected on my own and changed. I'm a completely different person now and I know what I want and don't want and how I should be treated.

Edit for context; what I'm trying to say is, I have this tiny hope, but when I have the thought I then realise I don't want to get back together with my ex and that I've come to that realisation. In saying that I want ownership of behaviour and change in behaviour I'm setting a boundary because I don't see that happening and it's stands I've now set. I see now that I wasn't clear in this. Lol.

Hello again 3am. We need to stop meeting like this.

Surprisingly unpopular opinion in my household, I think St Patrick's Day should be a VIC holiday.

I just reckon enough people casually follow it, so it would be a better holiday than some of our others. The main issue is the placing of it.

Is anyone experiencing when posting a comment and post then the site just throws you to the top when you didn’t do that yourself? What the heck?

You’ve done better than us. My mum and aunt took my 90 year old nana with stage 4 dementia to the ER today because she became completely non-verbal and thought she was having a stroke. 5 hours and they didn’t even give her a blood test. By that point she hadn’t eaten anything all day and was freezing cold. When my mum went to ask the triage desk people they just shrugged and said to call her gp if they were concerned. Mum was like ‘yeah I did. They said to bring her to the ER straight away because she’ll get more urgent care there.’ 🙃

Nothing, let me stress nothing upsets me more than being thanked for my patience and understanding. The nerve of assuming you are entitled to either metro speaks fucking volumes about your service.

The Bach cello suites I’ve been listening to while I work have ended. It was lovely, but I need something else now.

DJ DT, spin me a track

I went into centrecom to get one tube of thermal paste. I assumed all would be well since I click and collected it.

All was not well. I spent an hour and a half in there and I now have 4 more Ethernet cables, a new USB stick I didn't need and yet another can of air duster

spoiler___ in my defence, the USB stick was $8 for a 32gb USB 3.2 HP stick, and the Ethernet cables were $2 each

Edit: and I almost bought a new ethernet switch, even though I already have 3 I'm not even currently using
