Our city is beautiful. I remember seeing Tokyo from their metro government building and thinking about how small Melbourne is in comparison.
It’s big enough.
Touché
I have finally been able to harvest my first ripe tomato of the season
teaspoon for scale
That is a comically large spoon
Will you binge it in one sitting or save half for later?
Eating the whole thing in one go seems a big much. I think at least two meals.
win 👍
Looks like my work laptop has won the Windows 11 brick lottery
Yep, so now it’s home time and late start tomorrow
Alrighty.
1 in person 3rd stage interview
2 first stage phone interviews.
Let’s see what happens.
Edit:
My right ear has been blocked for a week and a half and I just got it cleaned.
It is fucking GLORIOUS to not constantly hear myself breathing.
What an awesome feeling that is!! I need to get mine done, they’re so close to blocking up. Good luck with the interviews!
Highly recommend doing it. It’s awesome!
And thanks! I’ve had one already which was OK. The in person is at 1pm then another call at 3pm.
Good luck!
Brother, your church bells are a minute early.
I have gymed. Great success.
New trainer is lovely. I like her
Yeah so unintended side effect of quitting vaping is I need to learn to control my singing voice again.
Frustrating.
This is good tho , isnt it?
Long term absolutely.
But I have re adjust how I form notes in my throat. That’s the frustrating part.
Doing what I normally do is off pitch.
There’s this American guy (or maybe Canadian, I’m no good at telling the accents apart) sitting in the co-working open plan area today (in a group of 4) and he is literally SHOUTING his conversation. Non-stop talking since I arrived. I will be getting no work done today. I think I’m going to move for the day instead of asking them to STFU, I don’t feel like a confrontation.
Canuks tend to be less cunty like that, sounds American to me.
True for the most part. There are assholes amongst us, but we tend to be quieter in public.
Yanks don’t have indoor voices.
Canadians are polite, they would never do that.
In person went OK. We’ll see what happens.
In happier news, one of my neighbours has an assistance dog in training, and I’ve just witnessed him doing something very impressive.
Abraham (and the L-Plates On His Harness) is figuring out lift buttons. He can call the elevator
Very clever boy!
I like my new car. It’s fun to drive, looks cute, sounds great.
STOP BEEPING AT ME.
I just wish that it would shut the fuck up. I don’t need to be told every time there’s a speed change. I don’t need to be beeped at every time I go 1km over the limit. Stop telling me there’s a line near me. Why do I care if my door is open for a moment while I check something and the engine is off.
Thankfully most of it can be switched off pretty easily, but oh my god it’s so fucking annoying and has to be done every time I start the car. I want to drive a car, not have a car telling me how to drive.
I really don’t like all of those automatic things. I like simple controls that I am in control of. It was one reason I resisted updating my car for so long, and only did when I realised I could get a van that didn’t have all those extras as standard. It’s not just the beeps and stuff either, too much in the way of sensors in everything make repairs a lot more expensive.
I too like simple and elegant
When IT are the ID10T…
Hey now. We are also highly inefficient.
Well. That was humbling lol
Teacher is cool but yeah, lot of work to do.
Singing lesson?
Yup.
When you’re self taught it’s easy to forget there are better ways of doing things.
Sometimes being self taught is worse up front because there are so many bad habits to break
That’s what the teacher said lol
Cool. I did a few singing lessons back in the day but I really want to learn how to project my voice. Am considering doing a couple.
I’ll keep posting about my progress to see if this guy is any good. I’ve gone there for technique and to learn vocal fry
Summer Series run 3 done. The Tan, 2 laps.
Someone has stolen my doormat.
…I have questions
Some people will steal anything that’s not bolted down (and sometimes they’ll steal that too, along with the bolts).
I find it easier to deal with such despicable acts if I anthropomiphise to a ridiculous degree - your doormat has just reached an age where it wants more independence and has set off to travel the world. It’s out there somewhere living it’s best life, getting to experience other doorsteps and being stepped on by a wide array of interesting people.
People are weird.
I wonder what it could possibly be used for?
It’s,a good doormat and all, but like…it’s a doormat. A used, generic doormat
That’s a puzzler alright.
Your building is…interesting.
Oh yes
My mate has a watermelon doormat which has since turned into a Free Palestine symbol.
Was it a nice doormat?
Not particularly. Generic, used doormat
