Inner North Brewery, Wednesday 3pm ish. I will be having my birthday drinks. Whoever can come is invited :)
Working I’m afraid lovely!
Awww another time!
There’s a guy I see here and there at the gym, he has an intellectual disability and a support worker who helps him load machines etc. He’s spoken to me a few times.
This group of teenage boys were staring at him working out on a machine (the form isn’t great but at least he’s doing something while they just laugh at him and sit around on their phones barely doing any working out). And then they mocked the way he walked and all laughing at that. Disgusting behaviour to witness.
I have a soft spot for people who are doing their best despite their circumstances.
You’re a better man than me, because I would have lost my cool.
Can you complain to the staff? That kind of thing can
border onbe harassment and put someone off coming to the gym (as well as being disgusting bully behaviour).I’m with melba about reporting that stuff to the staff.
Off to final interview. Of course it’s replacement busses lol
Edit: Also have a band audition next weekend. Thank fuck they provided the guitar notation in advance.
Edit 2: interview went well. It’s between me and 2 others. Will find out on Friday.
good luck 🤞
Cheers :) I’m 90 mins early lol
Dope! Good luck.
What genre band?
Thanks man :)
It’s metal core. I’ve done this style a lot in the past. It’ll be interesting coming back after doing more singer song writer stuff.
Noice. I’ve never played in that sphere before, but did listen to a number of the popular metal core bands 5-10 years ago. Such a fun genre
The energy is amazing. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but playing those types of shows, even with a small crowd, is incredible.
Did a local community radio interview late last night. Couldn’t sleep after. Feel like trashhh. Rockin up to work an hour late. Gonna be a goood day…
Went to Book of Mormon over the weekend. It’s a great show, so many laughs. The actor that played the sidekick (forgot the character name already) was absolutely brilliant.
Making chilli powder time.
Just need to remember to not touch eyeballs or no no bits for a few days (which invariably will happen).
I’ve done that before when working in hospo. Do not recommend lol
Hands are on fire atm lol. wore gloves but that went straight through.
I’ve decided to just take the bike on the train for April to save my legs. Takes about as long as riding on the bike the whole way, and seems to be about 9kms instead of the usual 15.
So glad I’m not paying for it, to only cover about a third of the trip and not be any faster
I used to ride Springvale to South Melbourne for work. I tried catching the train to Richmond, it was the same time either way.
That’s quite the distance. Is there at least decent cycling infrastructure to and from?
Nah, infrastructure was a bit shit. Three’s the djerring trail now but it’s shared, nicer than being hit by a car though.
Last day of my leave. I honestly haven’t got out of bed yet
It’s cold
Heater is on. Hoodie deployed. Porridge for breakfast.
It’s the season of the oodie.
I was keen on a Marketplace item. It wasn’t much, $20, despite its value being far more than that. Was scheduled to meet up to collect, but as it got closer to time, the seller took an hour to confirm their address (they kept saying they had bad phone signal…but I’m not sure what that has to do with en able to confirm your own address), and then switched it up from them being there, to needing to collect from someone else, who’s number I was given to call when I arrived.
As soon as I expressed concern, they got very defensive and angry. For me, that’s red flags all over so I noped out and blocked em.
Did I overreact? What would you folks do?
Marketplace is sketchy, trust your gut.
🖤
I’m out at the slightest hint of dodgy. I’d rather over react and miss out on a few items that might have been legit than walk into a bad situation.
Sellers being reluctant to hand over an address in advance is one of my major red flags - I want to be able to check where I am going and let someone else know too. I’ve had sellers do this whole run around where they won’t give you the street number until you say you are in the street. I’ve no idea how they think that’s going to protect them from dodgy buyers, but I’m not following breadcrumbs to walk into a stranger’s house. If people are not upfront I just don’t deal with them.
People who are very pushy about wanting you to move off the sales platform and phone/text are also a red flag for me. Your phone number is important personal data that it’s better to avoid giving out unnecesarily. Especially if you have Pay id linked to it, because then you are also giving out your real name.
Thank you. Yeah, I agree and this is really reassuring.
You did the right thing. The MIL was trying to sell something once and someone tried to pull the classic PayID scam saying their husband worked in the area and would be the one to come pick it up, this was on a Sunday in a suburb with nothing nearby.
Then they said they had trouble transferring money online and if the MIL PayID’d them $1000 this person would send back the money plus the difference.
Yeah, as soon as they introduce a third party, I get the wiggins.
Red Flags. Did not over react. If I had already paid I would be trying to get money back.
regarding the shady behaviour, $20 is not much money . 🤔
Yeah nah, I never pay up front. Only cash in person.
Dinner worked well tonight.
Pork casserole with apple and sage. The flavours all melded in together very nicely, and I have lots in the freezer for later too.
yum, lots of gravy 😊
I was wrong. I’ve just tried the Aldi Madagascan vanilla white chocolate. It’s legit good to eat. Far superior to anything Cadbury can come up with. Recommend (grrrrrrr).
I’m so mad all of them have milk. I still remember how good that chocolate is
There’s a brand called Sweet William that has vegan white choc. I’ve tried their other choc types and it’s not too bad
Unfortunately it contains inulin
“We don’t deliver to parcel lockers”
Oh yeah? AusPost’s in-transit redirection says otherwise.
awww yisss last of the shitty shitty mortar in the garage currently being ripped out, soon to have lovely new mortar put in and then we have a workshop and I can finally start building cabinets and the massive wrap around bookcase.
Phone plan recs requested. I decline to accept an extra 15/month for nothing from Craptus. Need near zero calls and Pokemon data…
I’ve found ozbargain a great source for plans. I’m now on a 365 day 300 GB Optus plan for what will effectively be $70 ($220 + $150 gift card). Looks like there are a few good options at the moment with Boost, Optus and Vodafone or if you’re not in a rush you can keep an eye out.
I’m with Amaysim on a good deal that got grandfathered in from when I was with Jeenee who got acquired by Vaya who then got acquired by Amaysim
