    Very proud Dad moment: My kid’s daycare has a little kiddy pool with colour ball pit balls in them. I’ve been so excited for him to be old enough to go in it. After 6-ish months proud to report he is. And he was DELIGHTED, the excitement on his face was unreal. So happy for him.

    Slept in, yet somehow feel like I barely slept.

    Adulthood is bullshit I used to sleep 6 hours a night and wake up feeling refreshed

      I remember I used to go to bed after being extremely drunk/high and get up to go to work the next day with no issue.

      Those days are loooong gone now.

    Power was out for 7 days - ausnet can’t even get their website working to put in a claim. Some people still have their power out, running a generator costs a fortune (despite having it off overnight)

    Just the weather to be waiting around for my every 10 min bus that has now been 4 times that late…

    Shit sleep. Shit mood.

    Have an interview (on line) today, so hoping I can mask my negativity for 45 minutes

      I have a meeting this arvo for one of those initiatives that is really busywork to make the higher-ups look good. Will be actively working on not rolling my eyes.

      Good luck with your interview!

        Thanks friend!! I think it went okay, but some of the questions seemed like they were tailored to someone else. I may have been the 3rd or 4th candidate to make up numbers as they had a preferred one already. Still a good experience thought.

        I’ll happily roll my eyes here on your behalf. I’m involved in a fair few of such initiatives myself, and cringe is an understatement.

    <taps mic> Its new NOTEBOOK day folks! Full of potential and wonder - will this be the journal that gets me organised? Will it be neat (no, it won’t)? Will i actually use the index at the front ?

    I don’t know. But it’s a pretty green.

        Dot grid. I like blank best but dots are good when I need to draw and I do draw / doodle a lot.

        Hah oh yeah notebook/laptop. That would be exciting

          Great move. I follow a couple of comic book writers and they all go the dot matrix as well.

          I can’t draw but I still go the dots on their advice as well

    The grandparents are visiting and helping to mind the kids for the next two days. These little buggers are getting a bit too much to handle on their own

      I’ve just put a half rack of USA bbq pork ribs in the oven. In 2 hours it’s going to be fall-off-the-bone succulent rib time!

          It’s my first time! I bought them pre-marinaded from the market so all I’ve done is whack them on some baking paper in a baking pan, covered it with foil and put it in the oven @ 145 degrees for 2 hours. Almost an hour in and my apartment is starting to smell pretty nice.

            May I recommend bourbon & cola next time? It’s delicious and proves the point about highway patrol cleaning road accidents with coke.

    Have ouchy finger. Tripped and fell a few days ago and took a large chunk of skin and nail off my middle finger (why is it always that finger?). I was crossing the road where I shouldn’t have been and tripped over a stupid manhole thing in the middle of the road and I am an idiot 😔.
