Caught up with a mate today - we are both job hunting and they said they recently applied for a role, got through three interview stages, completed the reference check (from what they confirmed this was all positive feedback), but were then told the position ended up going to someone internal....this does not fill me with much confidence.

Cool change arrived in the last km off my run. Was a nice cool breeze to help cool the thermostat.

almost 7pm: volcano eruption imminent in Iceland. If you’ve been to the Blue Lagoon, your last time might be the last time.

I might go down to the festival to locate my daughter and her friends. "Hey baby girl, mummy found you. What's for dinner?". ☺

Let's say there was a brand new Earth, uninhabited by humans, and you were to be placed in one location of your choosing. You have one backpack of survival gear. Where would you choose to be placed and why?

Bonus question: would you do it if offered today?

Oddly enough, I think I'd choose Melbourne - before the ecosystem was ruined in the 19th century it was quite a nice place to live off the land. Very productive. Good water. Lots of yam daisies and koalas to eat and fish and things. Rich in natural resources like clay and wood. Good stone for tools not far away. Pack would have to include a puffer jacket to last until I'd eaten enough possums to make me a possum skin cloak.
Would not accept offer for today.

So there's this stretch I know. It's performed while standing. You get into like a partial sat position, imagine you were trying to hover over a manky toilet but you had to go. So once you're in the half way to taking a dump position, place your hands on your upper thighs, then push down on your thighs with your hands. Start light to see how it goes for you. The theory is that it allows you to lengthen your own spine by pushing your shoulders and hips away from each other.

So just watched the new Fincher movie “The Killer” and it was mid, which is pretty unusual. Anyway besides the original contributions to the soundtrack by Reznor and Ross, the movie was riddled with Morrissey classics.

So anyway, I relay this very important information about Morrissey to MrsGod and she says, “Who?”

I’m still trying to gather my jaw from floor. Shits wild.

What’s the status on the neo-pet naughty bits?

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i had to groom my neopet to collect the daily achievement.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

The Young Seagoons want to watch Masterminds again. So many good laughs in that movie, can recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIkzuXDhCcQ
