Goooood morning! Happy friday! My last Friday in my current role 🥳🥳🥰
Congrats. 😘🍾
Woooooo!!! 💪
🎉 Make sure it’s half arsed.
Could the media please shut the fuck up about Raygun. Please let this story die.
Chill is back in the air. On the way to a moooovie (MIFF film) even though I have this assignment to do… But I wouldn’t have gotten anything done tonight anyway as it’s been a big day at work… I think my guilt/anxiety over the assignment is what’s caused me to have nasty dreams of teenage woes (had another dream after the one of my mum screaming, with an uncle telling me I wasn’t allowed to watch Suits. Which is weird as I’ve never been interested in watching it anyway and that uncle was relatively lenient)
It’s okay to have a bit of a life outside of work and uni 😩 can’t sustain my psyche otherwise…
In good news though, I passed my probation at one of my jobs today and got a 9% pay bump (they kind of tend to lowball in the first 3 months then do more after. Even my boss admitted it was “embarrassing” what I’d been paid so went beyond the upper range of what I was thinking). The annual equivalent is the highest I’ve ever been paid in my life so far - would finally take me past the PHI tax threshold lol - and it is so much cruisier than my previous job, so I am feeling pretty chuffed about that. 🥂
edit: I also negotiated one day less per fortnight so I kind of end up the same financially but with more time so that’s not so bad at all 😎
Congratulations 🎉
Yay. That’s awesome news!
Yasss! For the win! 🥃
Congrats, that’s wonderful!
Nicely done!
Happy Friday everyone 🎉
Quiet night tonight but I don’t mind some music and gaming time.
Hope everyone has a great night ❤️
Happy Friday Simon. Have a good one. 🍺
Fantastisch!!
Must tell us. What game are you planning to play?
I’m playing cult of the lamb. It’s really a nice mix of chilling out and some occasional action.
Bad nightmare taking me right back to my teen years being screamed at by my mother over trivial things… The sense of fear and feeling trapped woke me right up :( not now, brain.
Oh no. hugs.
I hope you do some nice things for yourself today.

I’m sitting in front of this now. I can’t seem to get up.
God help me.

Don’t eat all the apricot and apple or you’re going to have a bad time
I had a good go over the apple rings, so yummy and some cupcakes.
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire

They came out to install that gate thing yesterday, which took me by surprise. They did say it would be installed this week, but I didn’t believe them. But then it happened, so that’s cool I guess.
Unfortunately they didn’t install any electrics or motors for it, and it’s on a fairly steep hill, so it just opened itself every time I tried to close it. I was able to find some old bed slat thingies and wedge those between the gate and the fence. Looks ghetto AF, but it worked and provided some safety.
Unfortunately today they came out to try and install a motor, but they forgot a part or something so it doesn’t actually… Motor. Unfortunately in the process, they’ve put it on same chains and gears that can’t be moved when the motor is off. So now I can’t actually close it.
They’ll come to install it some stage next week, but it basically leaves me in the same position as I was 2 days ago over the weekend. And I can once again enjoy the constant baseline anxiety of old mate coming back again.
It has now been 39 days since I returned and had to deal with all of this garbage.
Edit: I should be fair to them. In 39 days they’ve purchased 1 security camera
Cheers Peppercorns 🍺
The man goes back to work on Monday so it’s like the closing ceremony.
Chin chin 🍻
Also, here’s to Force’s last day drinks!
That’s actually Wednesday. Today was my last Friday. Still working Monday to Wednesday 😞
Oops. Well, it’s the countdown to your last day (not long to go!), and we’re rehearsing
One of us needs to remember this for Wednesday and I nominate you.
Ha! You’re asking a menopausal woman to remember something?
(Lucky I’m the queen of lists)
This made me laugh because I’m forever talking to myself “where’s me list. Where’s me list” while I search for my jotter.
To you 🍺 and @[email protected] 🍺
Cheers!

You’ve mastered it!

I just ate a cheese kransky in a baguette with hot english mustard and t-sauce having a radox bath… and… i’m fundamentally a different person now.
I did not expect that on the bucket list… it will remain permanently on the bucket list I’m not crossing it out.
What’s t-sauce?
Edit: Oh… Tomato sauce. I am not a smart man
There’s probably a law somewhere saying tomato sauce on a kransky is a big no no.
Do you cut the ends off your baguette?
I do :(
good, that’s how the French have them 👍
Why has not evolution equipped us off switches?
I’ve turned into a hysterical fountain.

if we didnt we wouldnt feel our feelings, and we wouldnt get better! -signed the bloke who REFUSES to learn this lesson IRL
Feeling feelings hurts, but in the end it’s necessary to grow.
Sometimes we just need a big ugly day-long cry.
Sadly, I’ve inherited the bloated face that lasts two days as a reward for my ugly crying tears.
Worst super power ever.
Got tea bags or a cucumber?
Over the years, I’ve done all the things.
Reduces somewhat, but I still look like:
Just not as cute.
Sympathy! I too turn into an utter PuffTroll if I cry. Embarrassing.
Commiserations. It’s the absolute worse if you have to work.
I just can’t cry elegantly. Quite annoying, really. 😂
What are feelings? I’m only aware of a constant low level sense of dissatisfaction lol
especially with ourselves, right?
Abso fucking lutely
hugs 😘

I’m not sure why but some of the emojis end up as white squares.
The 3rd and 5th emoji are white squares for me.
The 3rd one is a buffalo. The 5th is a ❌️ for me.
Donkey
I can see it from my phone now. Was on desktop earlier though wefwef.
The 5th is a donkey I think.

So, I’ve had this single annoying hair coming down over my eyes, brush the hair away, it doesn’t go away or soon comes back.
Just now in front of the mirror, I found it. The thing was a massive eyebrow hair. I yanked it, and I kid you not - the hair was 4cm long! I’m entering my old-man eyebrow phase, and I don’t like it.
It always amazes me how the hair which isn’t growing where or how it ought to is so robust, yet on top the thinning brittle hair mocks me in the mirror 🎭
Think of it as your Peter Capaldi Cosplay Years
I have a nose hair that threatens to attach to the otherside if I don’t get it in time.
I get those rarely, but on my upper arm near my shoulder. Super weird. The body is a strange place.
I’d lean into it and practice being super expressive with your eyebrows heh
As wrecked as I’ve been this week thanks to starting on Wegovy, I’ve booked myself a room up in Beechworth for tomorrow and it’s non-refundable so that will force me out of my apartment. I’ll pop into the Billson’s brewery tomorrow afternoon and then chill tf out on the room balcony which overlooks some pretty countryside.
Sunday I’ll get up early, go and spend some time looking at Woolshed Falls then drive to Yackandandah and finally see it. I’ve lined up a place to grab a coffee and breakfast there.
That’s as far as I’ve gotten. As always plans are subject to change (besides the accommodation) because I’m free to do what I want any old time.
I love Beechworth. I have stories but not right now because I’m pissed.
Billsons went into admin so hope you snag some bargains.
Sounds lovely!
