Oh Botty
welcome back 🔋
The uprising has resumed
Sigh I think I’m about to get dressed and go to impulse-buy a PS5 coz the Spider-Man 2 bundle is on sale and I want it. I guess it’s not an impulse-buy considering I’ve thought about it for months but I didn’t plan on buying a PS5 today or even this year when I woke up this morning.
Let’s just call it a reward for having my apartment and car clean and my life more organised or something.
Lessgooooo
You did it! Well done and enjoy the ride!
Woo! Spider Man 2 is probably my favourite game that came out this year.
Just finished the opening scene and that was friggin bonkers! They went HARD right off the bat! Great way to start a sequel… lets just get back into the action! I’ll give it a few hours and fire it up again later today. Running it in Fidelity and 120Hz mode is amazing! Pardon the pun.
Hellooo! Shall I put the kettle on?
My shingles is scabbing, but due to the location it keeps cracking open and weeping, and it’s making me fucking miserable. Also, keeping the heating on to keep me warm while I can’t really wear a shirt is making my skin awfully dry, which is making my other skin problems play up.
I just want it to be over, but I was warned it may be a long time before that happens… ughhhhhhhhhhh
Sorry for the whinge.
Would calamine lotion help or even paw paw ointment?
I was instructed not to do too much to them, I am allowed oatmeal baths though. It seems that it’s a suck-it-up sort of thing once it starts to scab.
Oh no. I hope it’s not gonna be a long one for you. All the best.
There is a thing called Pinetarsol which might be allowed. It helps itch, but fucking stinks so pick your annoyance I guess
Strangely enough I quite like the tar smell. Am I weird?
Probably 😺 I can drink Retsina but this wash is a bit much personally
I’ve been instructed to basically leave it alone, unfortunately, it’s just me and the odd oatmeal bath.
On another note I will say that I like Pinetarsol, I use it every spring when my skin stuff gets out of control with allergies and whatnot.
I gave little dog a kangaroo jerky stick and now he won’t leave me alone. I’m his best friend ever.
your first step to training little dog to hunt kangaroo for food in the post-apocalyptic world
Second step involves playing fetch with a bouncy ball
Oh I wouldn’t need to train him. He loves chasing things.
But the take down?
Oh shit yeah. He’d go for the ankles? first then straight for neck. The little shit can jump.
Incoming pity party: made it to the interview stage of a role that I really felt aligned so well with my skillset only to be told today that again, I was the runner up and there was just someone better. I really had to fight the urge not to full-on cry on the phone when they told me because I was so devastated. I was basically manifesting in my head my future with this job all week (probably not the best idea) because I thought I was such a good candidate and thought the interview went well. It’s very rare for these roles to appear that suit my experience so I really felt almost like it was made for me but now all that hope is…gone. The only feedback they could give was just it went to someone who had different organizational skills so now I feel like maybe I just suck at what I do if there’s people out there who can do it better.
Net hugs
Could they give you any further or more specific feedback? It’s so difficult when that happens, but I given what you’ve said I don’t think it would hurt to say that and try to get some more information?
Hopefully this just means a better opportunity elsewhere for you. 🤞🏻
Hello good people. How it going?
Going ok for the moment while I work at another site. Hoping the end of the day comes quickly.
Drinking too much coffee which is making me run to the bathroom far too often.
How’s it going with you?
Busy as shit at work. Keeping fit and healthy, but also seething with rage at the general public for existing.
Trying to make the best of this Friday without doing too much work.
Well hopefully you’ll be able finish up work and go home fairly soon as half the day has gone already.
Thankfully I’m working from home today, but some dingbat filled my afternoon with meetings. And I’m covering for a couple of people who are off for an extended period.
Wanted to crack a brew open during the last meeting but taking my son shopping later and prefer to be sober.
This day ain’t mine, but I appreciate your good will towards me :)
Aww that’s a bummer, well after taking your son out shopping I hope you’ll be able to put your feet up and crack one open after everything has settled.
Lazy. Still horizontal. How you?
Upright and dejected.
🍭🍪👍🏻
Good. I had to go and get some buns because we are having lobster rolls for dinner with lots and lots of beer. How are you going?
Pretty good. Busy and tired. Looking forward to beers tonight as well. No lobster for us though Mrs Moneybags ;)
Look I had to try those aldi frozen lobster tails didn’t I? The thing is the kid wasn’t going to be home so I declared it “lobster and beer night” now she is so I have to share. 😔
Decidedly flat. Somebody entertain me?
Go for a walk and pick a fight with a senior citizen.
Everyone wins.
You remind me of the CAH “get drunk and fight a police horse”
Who’s to say the horse didn’t have it coming.
I’m phobic of the damn critters, but cannot approve of punching them.
Hence why senior citizen are an adequate substitute.
Good bot
Still up…
What’s up everyone? ✨
Still up too…so tired but can’t sleep.

I tripped over at work yesterday and I thought I’d hurt my wrist but the pain today is just below my elbow, so I’m off to the doctor and to hopefully get an X-ray. It’s my right arm and I’m right handed so that’s annoying and my arm is getting sorer and sorer. I’m lucky I filled in an incident form for the fall. I really hope it’s not serious but the pain is serious enough I’m worried it is.
In my expert opinion you poinged your sproingle and require two weeks paid vacation for oh&s
EDIT: I speak in jest but MAKE SURE you mention to the doctor this was a workplace accident and get the ball running on workcover.
You were injured at work, work pays for it.
I definitely will, I’m back at the doctor on Monday and will make sure he gets the ball rolling, I ended up booking a different doc at the same clinic because the one I saw on Friday truly didn’t seem to grasp my job and how much I need to use my arms and lift and how serious an arm injury could be for me.

Something special, and unique, to celebrate today’s Fridayness

So much to do and it’s already one of those days. I sewed a button onto the wrong side of the cuff. 🤓 Bought dark green ribbon for a belt instead of black
The very first time I hand sewed something as a little girl, I was so proud, I held it up to show my mum and I’d sown it to my dress.
Done that. Argh!
Devastating as a 7 year old who thought she’d done a might fine job.
At least you didn’t set a sleeve inside out?
The purpose of internal doors clearly isn’t sound insulation given how wafer thin they are.
Oh yeah. Two bits of ply wood. Good doors are solid or have egg cartons in between the ply wood.
I need to get to work, but I can’t find my wallet
It’s in yesterday’s pants pocket silly
Two interviews lined up for today. Just when I had decided I was going to try the world of freelancing, my current work asked if I was interested in doing a secondment outside of my organisation (which could turn into a permanent job). Maybe I am. AND then a job I applied for a while ago has come out of the woodwork. Is the world trying to tell me something?
