    Xmas dinner went well. We got a bonus and a healthy Westfield giftcard!!!

    Edit: pretty wild considering I’ve been there 5 weeks.

    I don’t want the ptv app to plan my trip, I want a pocket database where I can select a route and see the timetable. Boo.

    I am apparently on the University of Tasmania ‘Roll of Excellence’ for my results in the Diploma of Sustainable Living. I did not know such a thing existed and doubt it will have any impact on anything, but I guess it’s a nice thing to know.

          That sounds like my Year 9 hurdles win. I came third. There were four people running, but one got disqualified for being in the wrong age group. That was the only award for athletics I ever received.

            Very fancy. My High School got closed too, although I don’t know who was responsible for it. The site is now a community centre and dog park, so I’ve been able to take Mr Woof there to take a dump on the place.

        Not related to my work at all. It is primarily aimed at sustainability in your own life and community, although there are also some more scientific subjects available in things like climate change. I’ve done subjects about gardening, home and landscape design for climate, increasing biodiversity and preparing for bushfires. It’s been very interesting. It’s also free under a HECS waiver, so you use the govt. credits towards the course but don’t pay anything yourself. If you are wanting to go on to do study in that area it would be a good option and some of the subjects can be used for credits towards a bachelor degree.

        Someone on the Melbourne Reddit sub mentioned doing it and I’m glad they did, I got a bit over it by the end but it has been good to do. (so thanks to the Reddit user from three years ago whose name always reminded me of 5sos but was actually something else)

        I got on one of the busses on the way hone and a girl already on there said “look at all the people” in reference to everyone getting off the train. I had to restrain myself a bit explaining how trains are such a great way to move people around and this proves it with how many buses are required for a single train

    A woman in my team was sick all of last week so she missed out on Kris Kringle. My girlfriend got one of those “random scoops” of dice from some fantasy store so we’ve put together two sets.

    I’ll bring them both in and try determine her favourite colour from the classic indicators; phone case, nails, drink bottle, and I’ll give her the set that closest matches

    I went to swig down the last mouthful of tea, but forgot about the tagless teabag in there and smacked myself in the face with a ginseng teabag 😆

    I made a Basque cheesecake yesterday at the insistence of Miniest and today we just decimated it, there’s barely ¼ left 🫣

    On Tuesday the power company are shutting off the power for the whole day to do works. I’ve seen it as an opportunity to clean out the freezer, which has desperately needed it. Too many things in shitty containers and bagged food with pegs on that allowed foods to get freezer burnt in too short a time. Luckily I haven’t done Xmas food shopping yet.
