Happy American Thanksgiving Day everyone. That special day where we all give thanks that, as Australians, we do not have two major celebrations in close proximity to each other, in the middle of winter, in a country with minimal annual leave provisions. As someone who works with the Fire Brigade I also like to give special thanks that we do not have any traditions that involve deep frying a whole turkey over an open flame.

That moment when a seagull randomly realises you're eating fajitas on the beach:

And they say it's hard to make friends in your 30's.

Come summer it'll be packed but for now it's bliss.

Ha last client refused service due to a mix-up so I get paid for 2½ hours of doing bugger all. I'm staying in my work pants until 3 just in case but I don't think they'll send me on another job if they didn't call me within the first half hour.
In other news the first week has gone well and the people at the fill in job I had yesterday have specifically requested me as a regular. primp primp

Today was my first full work day since shingles and holy hell is the fatigue real. I was warned about it, but boy howdy if I wasn't about to knock off I'd be cosying up for under the desk nap.

Ah, that nice feeling of hitting 10pm and actually being well watered, well fed, happy with the day's work, done the day's chores and all ready for a JAM PACKED DAY TOMORROW that is hectic by any measure but more so when you've been a quasi NEET/hermit for a while:

So much drama in the office today. It was extremely amusing and bemusing watching a new staff member lose her shit at the Call Centre Consultant (I'm just gonna call him Milhouse) my work hired; she almost quit if it weren't for our direct manager talking her down and accepting her declining the new title they gave her.

Now it is my title lol. No payrise, but you best be sure I'm bringing it up in another month (will be my third month there) and at my 6 month review. Milhouse doesn't realise I have worked under people like him before, and I know what I'm doing when it comes to this title they've passed onto me lol. I held the position of Operations Consultant for a long time, and while this isn't the same as what I'm doing now, it's damn close.

I'm going to shine, hope they have their sunnies lol

Achewww! X 74

Good grief, the humidity is climbing overnight.

Ugh.

Sitting at breakfast overlooking the golf course just enjoying watching the old blokes walking around and their golf buggies following them by themselves like golf themed droids from Star Wars. The future is hilarious.

They have these at Aldi. It says on the tag Tough Dog Toy. That's a challenge for my little dog.

Back from a walk in the park and errands.

Didn't find any banksia cones. neutral

gardener said I could have some iris bulbs they were throwing out. Win. ( I wonder what colour the flowers will be )

I found $2. Win!!

The coots have new chicks and they are sooo cute. Win!

At shops. Couldn't find a picture frame to fit a new print. Neutral.

But aldi had some frangipane tarts. Win!!

Not a bad trip at all. 😊

aaah woke up this morning suddenly a fat bastard.

I hate computers.

That is all.

Good Morning! You are all beautiful and amazing!

Slow day at work, doing a little bit of work but reading about stuff online quietly while looking like I'm doing something important.

I think I'm running out of things I want to read.

I was listening to a podcast the other week about how apparently Troye Sivan brought his dad to the arias where he cleaned up for his song Rush. And on face level that’s a feel good story, right? Till you listen to the lyrics. His poor dad having to sit there whilst his son wins all these awards for a song about absolutely fucking railing someone. I mean nothing wrong with the song it’s great and, but I cant imagine you want to even think about your adult kids bedroom activities.

New Fargo is on today. 🤗😊

Gorg:

Ok where is this warm weather we’ve been promised today? I’ve got washing on the line.

Today I met a little dog named Ruby Tuesday. So please enjoy this 90s flashback https://youtu.be/SV2pIWd58Mg?si=PGlQ6P58EXBsOxn6
