    Drove down to Flinders to get a hot chocolate from the Festival happening at the Chocolaterie. Ended up being way too crazy rich, but delicious all the same!

    Alrighty.

    Guitar and Helix are packed. Cables rolled and tied up. Extra picks in my wallet, spare strings and a winder in the guitar case.

    Leaving here at 6pm. TBH I wanted to bail because I’m tired but I thought nah fuck it. It’ll be good just to hang out with some metalcore musos for an evening.

    Melbcat knew what was up, she did her excited little tail quiver and quickly dug into the new food.

    What a relief. A low phosphate food she finds palatable. Hopefully it slows her kidney disease and prolongs her life.

    I want to see Weapons so, so badly 😭 gonna see it on Monday just have to avoid spoilers.

    Edit: partners friends msgd and want to get a beer tonight. I’m sending partner (they’re his old friends from Perth, they live here now since 2020), because I don’t think alcohol is gonna be great for me right now.

    Also, they’re super successful (doctor and a gov official), and I’m too self-conscious/self-centred and don’t feel like I have anything to talk about 😂😭💀

    Sent in the footage to the cops… and that dude threw a cigarette butt down on my property (littering) before he stole from my groceries. Didn’t even put it out first so I’m lucky it didn’t start a fire.

    What an entitled trashbag

    Edit: Right after posting this the same dillhole walked past scoping my porch and then Melbcat’s food got delivered just after he was gone. Lucky it happened in that order because if he stole her special food there might have been an incident.

    I hope something bad happens to him. Cunt.

      have you got one of those “smile, you’re on camera” signs up? We’ve found that while experienced porch pirates don’t gaf, the standard paranoid opportunist methead thinks twice

        The camera is visible and he’s been reported to the cops repeatedly. The cops told me it’s useless to get one.

        He doesn’t gaf and steals routinely

        The people here are just pieces of shit

    Apparently the Dinnerly meal kit box I thought I ordered for next week is actually for today. I guess my vague dinner plans for the next few days are no longer required.

          What about this for an idea? Drive through bottle-o, you can get booze, snacks and your petrol tank filled without leaving your car.

          If someone wants to make this happen, I’ll cheer you on.

            I think there also needs to be a parcel pickup/dropoff hub. Plus there needs to be an option to either drive through, or to drop the car for a wash - you could have a cafe and small store, then by the time you’re finished the car is clean, refuelled and filled with your purchases and deliveries.

            I once had a business idea where you could order a package containing one or two squares of special brownie plus a bunch of normal baked goods to sate the munchies after.

            I do not partake or break the law. I just think that having an entire pan of special brownies sitting there after eating the first is playing a dangerous game.

            A talented baker could make good money with a side hustle like that

    This week I have cut as much cheese, milk and butter from my diet as I can and I’m feeling a lot better. I expect more improvement as I remove more and more sources of dairy.

    Me to client: This thing might happen if we go ahead like this

    Client: OK, I understand

    the thing happens

    Me: The thing has happened

    Client: You didn’t tell me this might happen!

    The satisfaction of forwarding the email proving I am right. Some people have very, very selective memory.

      I have two personal faves, both of which involve the same chain.

      On one, they had an issue that caused a missed showing. Absolute screaming disaster. During post mortem they were in full CYA mode, and a manager sent a huge ranting email saying the issue was caused by X which was easily resolvable WHY DIDN’T WE SUGGEST THIS ThIS CoSt ThEm MoNeY and even rocked up to the office demanding the call recording for legal action.

      First thing I said in the call was the solution he was ranting about. They didn’t do it.

      The other was actually I think the same dipshit ranting about limited support on a sunday past 5pm because he couldn’t get through and -GASP- had to speak to our american fallover. “If you get a call that takes that long, then make them get a tech out!!”

      thing is, I was unavailable because I was dealing with a huge issue for another one of their sites. And immediately after his sookypants rant, we got a huge glowing gushing thankyou from his boss thanking me for sticking with and resolving an issue rather than blowing it off to a service tech who woulda cost them about a thousand bucks just to show up.

      Sometimes life is grand.

      My husband’s work is like this:

      Sales rep: Can you do this right now?

      Man: No. Send me an email

      Sales rep: but it’s really important. I need it done now.

      Man: The quicker you send me that email the quicker I can get to it.
