    I was half an hour late lol

    The people in my team told me I was the best manager they’ve ever had. Put a huge smile on my face.

    Because I actually cared about them and not just about myself.

    having to tell people off for having an ad hoc meeting right next to my desk. The looks they gave me I nearly turned around and said “Bro this isnt even your area! If your gonna sit in IT’s section least you can do is be respectful and not shout at each other 2 meters from my desk!”

      I really like how this puzzle is not the usual dimensions.

      ( I’d do the horizon after the edges, then the tree line, then sort top and bottom )

      My sister’s cat does this. And about half the pieces end up with little tooth mark deckles around the edges. Has been known to stash random pieces in his bed.

          I was referring to the glue that holds the cardstock together to the picture - not the glue that people use to frame a jigsaw.

      There are some episodes of the QAA podcast on the crossover between the wellness industry and conspiracy theories so this doesn’t feel like a massive jump.

      When people are already rejecting vaccines and science it’s probably easier to sell them on eugenics

      Yeah, the crunchy to alt-right pipeline :( Gotta watch out for that in certain hobbies for sure.

      This is especially disgusting though. It’s no longer a dogwhistle but a foghorn. Weird racist cult behaviour masquerading as something wholesome.

    Man, I think I caught a bit of whatever’s going around. No respiratory issues whatsoever, don’t think I even have a fever but the headache came back with a vengeance and I’ve been so fatigued with so little appetite that I only got out of bed for the first time at 9:30 PM - yes, PM, nearly 24 hrs straight in bed - to pee (an unholy dark liquid) and eat and drink something. Feel full after a couple of bites although my stomach is making all the food noises. Managed to keep down dinner, took two Nurofen with an antacid, back in bed and I hope to HELL that I’ll feel better tomorrow.

    I haven’t had a bougie bath in a very long time. Aunt’s bath is really nice (resort sort of nice) so I had to tonight was a long day. Lush. Lit the candles, lights off. i’m not really into that that sort of thing but yea… nice.

    Last time I used that thing was when I chucked hambam in for a bath when he was covered in mud / fuck knows what else.

    Tonight was my night though.

    It was an absolutely beautiful afternoon for a walk, I went down to the Mullum Mullum Creek trail. Mr Woof greatly enjoyed all the sniffs and the multiple patches of succulant grass to nibble on. He was less enthused by the mode of transportation to and from. Hopefully I can squeeze in a couple more fun trips for him before he has to go through the long trip to Ballarat.

      (my emergency early morning anxiety goto - in case it helps.)

      Blanket burrito yourself, STAT. Close eyes. What are all the noises you hear? What’s the furtherest away noise? Listen. As you calm notice warmth and texture. If you can get down another notch notice breath. Can you listen, feel, breathe all together?

      And the ball is legit but you have amazing strength. Reach out if you need anything practical (food, transport, etc) to get through.
