G’day kits! I am too. Much >:(

This arvo I’m doing coffee and momo lunch with the old LT. Then, I’m probably going to sleep

Tomorrow is a busyish day. Packing to do, and boxes to deliver. 2 meetings. Also gotta grab a couple of last minute prezzies (which at this point are going to be blocks of chocolate). Then I’ll have about half an hour to refresh and take the shower I’m sure I’ll absolutely need before class time. Last class of the year, but also our last class on legal and ethical. Belgh. Big unit, not much time to cover or talk about most of it

What’s your plans?

Also, make sure you set your aircon to cold mode and not auto, if you’re using a splitty. Don’t want it actually heating up the place before it hits 26!

Well, I’ve gotten up for these gas people. Not sure what time they’ll be here, just that they said after 7. Definitely gonna try and squeeze in a nap, because 3 hours of sleep is absolutely not gonna suffice. My thing’s at 1, but probably closer to 12:30, and I still need to get the vacuuming, mopping, and a load of washing done. Plus move a bunch of my crap that is currently just about everywhere around the house, pending packing

Looks to be what I’m about to do. I did mention on the phone I have some things I’d like to do, but they just called me back to say that their crew said “no” and will not come out until after 7, but that I’ll be the first job and don’t have to be awake, but that if I’m not and don’t answer the door or phone, I probably won’t find out if there’s anything wrong

Ah well, I’m getting tired now anyway and have run out of steam. I do want a hot shower tomorrow though

Thanks Brion. You were keen with the unpinning of yesterday’s post tonight haha!

Ooh, more excitement! I was taking the rubbish out, and when I walked past the meter I got a faint whiff of gas. I had to do a quadruple take, and I can definitely smell gas, but it’s really faint and doesn’t seem overwhelming. I googled wth I’m meant to do and it was all very keen on stressing that gas leaks should be reported to the distributor ASAP

So I called and they said that because it’s minor I should shut off the leak and they’ll log a job after 7. I’ve got dishes, mopping, and a load of washing to do before I go to sleep, and our hot water is gas powered, so I’m not super keen about not having gas tonight. Ugh, I hate gas

Also moon big!

Woohoo CEO! You should use some of that wifi you’re emitting to chuck us some photos!

Crikey I’ve done literally nothing today… I have cleaning and packing to do, but I didn’t do anything

I only just got around to having a shower 😬

Best get stuck into the cleaning now, I invited the old LT over for lunch tomorrow, and I’m moving on Wednesday

MINI GOONSINATORS!!

I know you’ve deleted this, but if you’re still wondering, the answer is she can’t. But ego and money often makes people ready to try stupid things

I absolutely would if it was suitable for me! I absolutely love the mixed zoning buildings they have through large parts of Europe where it’ll be a couple of houses on top of a small business. We have them around here, too, but they generally seem to just be for the people running the businesses and are rarely rented out to the public

I remember watching a video a while ago which I believe was either on Hong Kong or Singapore. Basically, they built train stations under or at ground level, then they built gigantic towers on top of them which had shops, houses, and offices all in the one building. I’m not sure about offices, but that seems like a dream to me. Certainly wouldn’t need to bother with a car, that’s for sure

(Though given it’s Westfield, I suspect that if this eventuates, it will probably just be a bunch of what start off as really nice (and expensive!) apartments, but end up devolving into glorified high rise slums through a lack of maintenance (e: oh and poor quality construction standards and materials). Also I’m willing to bet like most damn apartments in this country, they won’t bother with noise proofing and adequate insulation, and the bottom 4 or 5 floors will basically be unliveable from all the noise in the shops, including all the screaming Everytime some drunk person gets caught stealing by an overzealous security guard desperate to use their karate training on a real life person)

😮

I don’t brush it off, I just don’t have the skill or patience to bother with it past 1 or 2

I only heard about it when I opened Reddit and half my front page was mocking her

Trying to copyright a kangaroo hop is going to be funny. I’m pretty sure we did that in PE in prep or grade 1. Not to mention, y’know, the fact there’s 30-80 million (depending on whose guess you trust) animals out there doing it every day

I don’t fuck with wrapping paper. I give the first one or two some effort, all the rest get thrown on the wrapping paper then wrapped as quickly and crookedly as possible

Some gifts even just go in those little gift boxes with the fake ribbon glued to the top

Thanks for the info! I guess that’s the other thing, being a public company with very slim competition does mean the NBN isn’t under as much pressure to offer competitive wholesale prices to RSPs, and is under no pressure at all to keep up with modern technology and the latest standards. But, it does mean that they’re also under much more of a microscope, are directly reportable to the government, have their performance reviewed and publicly dissected, etc etc

Saturdays and Sundays have been the worst for abusive crackheads I’ve noticed. It’s also around Christmas time; everybody goes off their fucking rocker around Christmas time. Those already off get so far away from their rockers that they’re probably closer to mars

Oh yay, I’ll be in the new place with no air con!!

I did buy a pedestal fan from Kmart as well, hopefully that’ll arrive before I move in on Wednesday

I reckon next year I might take a holiday to the land of the kiwi birds. I really wanted to do Japan, but I think it’s a bit exxy for me, and I’m not sure I’m ready to go that far from the homeland yet

Also, apparently a ticket from melbs to Auckland is about the same as a ticket to Perth, which makes sense but also kind of blows my mind for some reason

Not certain yet. I’m not sure about spending all that money to go look at some rocks and ride some trains or whatever people do over there. But I also don’t want to be one of those shrivelled up old people on my deathbed deeply regretting having never left the country

Late today. I lost track of time 🫤
