    So far so good! Lots of induction and training to do. Will take up the rest of the week pretty much.

    It’s so nice to be back at work 🎉

    Went really well!

    Tired but had a pretty good day. A lot of induction and training which is to be expected.

    Got to chat to the owner and he’s a really nice guy.

    No real complaints! ❤️

        Lol too true. I remember 4 or 5 of the 40 or so.

        Fuck it was just good to be away from the house. Cabin fever was fucking me up.

          I remember that feeling of relief of having something to do after a few months of unemployment/underemployment. Not nearly as long as yours but I’m really chuffed that you get to apply yourself to something.

          Hopefully it’s the kind of place where you can build some stability and not have to give too much of yourself.

    About to go at some gutters. Neighbours’ big tree is overhanging the shed so they’re always full. I like the tree and I’m fine cleaning it up (usually compost it) but he refused to pay for half the recently rebuilt fence so fuck him he’s going get a lot of leaves on his side of the boundary. His leaves, my problem, soon to be his problem. He also has a pool so we’re aiming there.

    Bit of drama here: the shower which had been taking a little longer to drain but had been manageable suddenly… wasn’t yesterday, so I had to find a plumber.

    To cut a long story short, actually found one via the local FB group who said they could come today, and was actually able to come earlyish this morning - sorted things out in 15 minutes including putting the tap in the shower back on and only charged me the callout fee. And thanked me for not using Drano.

      Yes. Shortstop, Little Rogue (though might be one of the closed ones?), Krimper.

      Cheap options: The $1 coffee at the Monopoly place is good for the price. The $3 coffee at Tigers Den (after 12PM) is OK for the price.

        Shortstop is nice, but the temptation to get a 7 dollar doughnut is oftern too great. Tigers den are shut. Forgot about little rouge. Bakemono was the other one, I’m a sucker for those sesame seed honey things.

          Oh wow! 15 years ago, I worked two doors down from that location. That spot used to be a sushi bar, from memory.

          The building between used to be a single-story Foodworks. That building is also gone and is now another office block. We sure need lots more new office blocks in this WFH future. 😁

    Felt good today throwing leaves over the fence. It’s so petty but I feel happy.

        I used to get shit tons of Justice Department letters for a presumed ex tenant. After sending back NATA about ten I stopped until I had that many again, then sent them all taped together. It stopped after that. Google wouldn’t tell me and I didn’t dare open them.

    Had a weird dream: I let in a cockatoo (white sulphur crested) to chill with me while I slept, it wandered around on me/the bed as I drifted in and out of sleep, and it kept biting me - not so hard it hurt but like quite hard. It moved around biting my hands, legs, head. It then summoned a buddy cockatoo to chill and bite me more. Dream ended when one of the cockatoos peed on my face

        Whoever told you I was sexually attracted to cockatoos was incorrect. I repeat. Incorrect.
