Moon pretty
I noticed it tonight too, it’s huge!
IT People: not really big on small-talk. 😀
Ha! I don’t work in IT and I need one of those 😂
Love it!!!
Boardies bum seam repair survived (to my surpise)! No moons, and the tape didn’t stick to the no no region.
Guessing the salt water won’t be good for the adhesive though.
And yet another wave:
I think it’s time to thank the boardies for their service and retire them. Duct tape sounds like it will not end well!
:( they did good, but you’re right.
First day on the new job was uneventful and went pretty much as expected. A bunch of long meetings, didn’t get a laptop until 2, and then couldn’t login anyway. So I really just hung out in the office for 8 hours.
I could see this job being alright as long as the day to day doesn’t suck. I have a feeling it may be alright but I’ll just have to give it more time
Huh. My crimson tide has synced with the full moon.
No one tell my mum 😂😂
That explains a lot!
The kid’s gone away for 3 nights and ngl I’m actually excited.
naked drunk pizza party!
All the good things rolled into one there!
There’s a kfc ad where the party goers are dancing and eating at the same time. I’ve never done that even while pissed. Not that I’m aware of anyway.
I do a GREAT awkward shuffle with a doughnut in my hand as I discovered at the last wedding I attended.
😂
I mean we’ve all done a little happy food dance from time to time but these idiots were full on raging with a drumstick in hand. No one loves kfc that much.
Also it’s always a drumstick. Never a shitty breast or micro wing.
I dunno. I train with some islander lads, that would dance with food. Not stereotyping, they’re just happy party people that like to eat.
😂
There’s that joke about a van load of kiwis going through the drive thru and the driver orders a bucket, a few sides and 1.25Lt Pepsi and then turns around in his seat and says “ok kids. What do you guys want”?
Turns out it’s actually true.
The Samoan guys I worked with called a Maccas family meal a Samoan Happy meal.
Hot tea being spilled left and right at work today, I love hearing the drama when I’m not a part of it!
☕💅🏼
Had a great time in Melbourne. The Jurassic World exhibition was a lot of fun. Took little one into the city and the National Art Gallery which she enjoyed.
But more importantly, Slurpees were a hit and she is more convinced than ever to move back to Melbourne.
shoulda sold her on the aldi middle isle. thats what gets my inlaws haha
Alright, doctor booked for this stupid migraine thing. Gonna get the physio to take a look as well.
Mine came from a shoulder injury.
thats just it, no new injury or anything like that I’m aware of. So I figured getting assessed isnt a bad idea.
That’s definitely a good idea mate. Also I would press for an MRI as well. For peace of mind.
Getting assessed it a great idea! In my early 20s I had months of chronic exploding head migraines, auras, blindness, vomiting from pain. Had an MRI and CT scan with nothing there. Dr gave me a big fat script for codeine - I understand why people get addicted to it, let’s put it that way.
Determined it was stress induced from living with my unmedicated schizophrenic mum 😂 haven’t had them like that since I moved out and went NC. There so many factors that can cause migraines, so getting checked out is always a fantastic idea!
Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious!! 💜💜
Good plan. I’ve had MRIs, CTs, a lumbar puncture and all sorts of fun. And regular eye tests are worthwhile- apparently weird eye pressure can manifest in interesting ways.
They’ve never found anything useful on all my tests but it’s always good to know it’s ‘just’ migraine and not a brain tumor or something exciting like that. And there are better migraine drugs coming out now.
So here’s the gossip.
One of the remaining 3 (of which i am one) account managers resigned.
So his clients get divided up between me and the other one.
Yay.
can you decline?
Nope. Not with my probation 10 days away.
So what happens after your probation ends in 10 days?
What options do you have at that point?
I have a better position to negotiate as they can’t just fire me on the spot.
And now that I’m one of only 2 account managers it strengthens my bargaining position. This team should have 4 people. Not 2.
Ah ok. Will you stay or look for another place?
Seems like the place is being gutted at the moment.
I need to stay long enough to move house. It’s near impossible to be approved for a rental whilst on probation.
Please tell me they are at least openly looking for another?! You’re already stretched so thin!
Who knows. I only found out because my co worker told me. Nothing from management about it.
Of course not! Just keep breathing, probation is nearly up!
I found emails from a director here to customers advising that someone had left the business 2 hours before it was announced to staff.
This happened in December and they haven’t said anything to us. Which is pretty bad…
That’s so shit!
We had a few people pull out of their booked windows 11 upgrade appointments. Told my team we should still push it as an update anyway and when they complain shrug and say “sorry, pulling out isnt always effective”.
The thing is that with a few minor setting adjustments, Win11 behaves exactly the same as Win10.
The only thing an IT department does need to do is disable all the intrusive automations that assume that you are using your work computer for personal use.
You don’t need News and Weather on your work computer and Edge should not even think about saving Credit Card data, especially if you are processing customers credit card payments through a banking web portal.
And don’t get me started on CoPilot. If you use an LLM to do your job, it means your job can be replaced by an LLM. What are you even doing there.
Speaking of which, how do you disable Adobe’s intrusive AI in Acrobat Reader? Adobe doesn’t need to analyse my Pending Invoice Report.
😂
Hahaha do it.

Just met my new manager. Seems like a nice guy. Let’s see how nice he is next week when I ask for a raise.
Ripped my boardies riding back from the beach last night. The bum seam from sitting on the seat. They’re very old. So with a bit of poor sewing, some stitchofix fabric adhesive stuff and some duct tape (lol) we’re going to see if it holds tonight. Should probably bin them but i just want to see if it works.
people standing on the beach “My, there’s a lovely moon out!”
When his cheeks hit your eye
From board shorts gone awry
That’s a moon, ey?🌝🙌🏼
Just so long as the duct tape doesn’t go awry and get stuck to your nethers…
Wasn’t that the jock’s backstory in Breakfast Club?
“Worst wax job ever, 0/10 recommend”
I have the best taste in music, all the songs I like are the best songs ever made, every other artist or track I don’t like is objectively bad. Just so we’re clear.
What’s your opinions on JOYRIDE by Kesha?
Fucking BANGER
FUCK YESSSSS 🏎️💜

Holidays are officially over - just got my first debt collection call of the year.
Optus sold my debt to them, I never paid my last bill due to the Optus data leaks. Sorry not sorry.
I’m never gonna buy a house or anything, or take out a loan, so why should I care? Besides that, my only debts are HECS/HELP and my TAFE fee (which I pay in installments by DD every month).
YOLO 🤷🏼♀️
I’ve got something outstanding (student union stuff) from latrobe uni from about 10 yrs ago. $111. they sent it to me 5 years after finishing the course lol. No letter, no email. Just sold it off to billchaser. 5 years! Get spammed every few days over sms. I should block the # but they make me feel loved. I ain’t payin’.
Lol, is it even worth their time for a bit over a hundred bucks?
Though they’ve probably sacked most of their staff and automated it all, if you’re just getting SMSs
Defs automated. Latrobe has had its financial struggles over the years so no surprise they’re selling debt.
I don’t really like the vibe of Latrobe (admittedly as an outsider that’s never been in one). Their campuses just seem unnecessarily large. Not necessarily by student numbers, just size. And half of it is empty space
