PSA: there’s a severe weather warning for the eastern suburbs for tonight. Stay safe and charge your devices in case power goes out due to fallen trees.

I’ve never been rich enough to live inner city. Grew up in outer suburbs and now live in a middle suburb. Yeah it’s rubbish ammenities compared to all that you get in inner city. But also I don’t have financial stress, I have space for a garden, and can still go to the city when I need to. It’s a compromise I’m ok with.

Whilst I can appreciate his musical talent, Nick Cave has always seemed like a self absorbed twat to me. I dont like his vibe so I’m not really into the music.

Love it. Sign me up.

Oh I completely agree life is not easy for people with disabilities. The difficulties to just live life, let alone participate in sports, are so much greater. I just meant that if you do, then there’s a smaller pool of people. Also at elite level pretty much all regular sports are body shape dependent not skills dependant to start with. Then if you have the lucky body shape genetics, you can work on skills. Probably part of why I’ve never really liked watching or participating in sport. Height categories in basketball would be a much more inclusive way of running the sport.

Taboo musing: it’s easier to win an Olympic medal in paralympics. Ok hear me out, in regular olympics, there are billions of able bodied people and only 1 set of medals per event. But for paralympics, the pool of potential competitors is less and there are many medals per event due to categories. So para athletes have a statistically better chance at being selected and wining a medal.

Why am I wide awake at 5am on Sunday.

From what you have described there might be a bit of a harsh truth that no one has said to you in a straight up way. Reading between the lines, they are saying you are poor at communicating task progress, which means probably stuffing other people around causing workplace inefficiencies and pissed off coworkers, because they don’t know the status of things. All jobs have boring components. Doing just the fun bits of your job and leaving the boring bits for others will lead to resentment from coworkers in every single workplace. Changing jobs won’t help this. I think you have to look at it from a team perspective. So I reckon use the grace period they are giving you to turn things around, it will be an asset for the rest of your career if you can overcome this. If I have misread the situation very sorry! Am just trying to help with another perspective.

The top of the box looks like two eyes and a mouth and now I can’t unsee it.

For study tip, if you need some focus time out of the house, local libraries often have workspace areas. Free wifi too.

Hope nobody’s house is made of straw, or sticks.

Bin night in our area. Bins vs winds will take place overnight. Place your bets.

So their argument is: some other bigwigs were corrupt, and government stuffed up robodebt, therefore we should be allowed to continue being corrupt thugs on building sites! If that’s the best argument they’ve got, they’re in trouble.
