New manager texts me for a meeting.
I'm on leave dipshit.
I've realised how much of my life I've dedicated to work needlessly.
I've been home all day and I've lost touch with the things I do for enjoyment. All I want to do is grab the work laptop and keep working.
Don't end up like me. Draw the line.
I think there are times when dedication and long hours are needed to learn and advance, and then when the rewards of that are attained then a person can relax a bit.
but working all the time? not generally a good idea

last day before His Lordship hits 40. Much hilarity and old fart jokes.
BUT i did build an assistive frame for his ADHD brain (his spatial awareness ranks somewhere around a golden retriever puppy), as he's planning out the rail spacing for our pull out drawer clothesline. bit of 3D printing, bit of t-track and voila, he's got a solid three dimensional frame to play with, including full slide capabilities.
behold
Ikea cushion peg very much there to clarify, we want to be able to keep the pegs on the front pole, and they slide up when we put it away. So the pole placement needs to be calculated to accommodate the peg swing. T track is same height as the mid point on the drawer sides, the 700x350s are the same ones I'm using as height spacers for the slides. He just could not wrap his head around it last night, so I made up a mini system so he can slide them around and adjust, then just measure from the front to the pole when he's happy

From the other account manager:
They're going on a hiring spree lol
Also, my co-worker believes that if something is on a PowerPoint it's legally binding.
Ladies and gentlemen, my team mate...
PowerPoint it’s legally binding
That's a first lol. Had to have a quick squizz on the ol' googs for that. Turns out that question is asked a fair bit.. yikes.

I think we should start a petition to rename America Dumcuntsville
when ever I hear that I am reminded how pathetic trump is
A gang of lorikeets have been feasting on a nearby fig tree. There is much tweeting and chattering, and the occasional screeching dispute over a desirable branch. They are very pretty though.
Aww man I don't wanna cook!Pouts Got an early start tomorrow because hot. After pizza day and the shower I had when I got home, I just want to flake. Elder was really upset and disgusted because he thought his father shitted in the shower.. I had to refrain from laughing as I told him it was the Lush Posh Chocolate body wash that his dad got randomly smeared in the bath tub 🤣

when one spends time with a killjoy one's joy is killed
sometimes it seems to me that happiness is an act of rebellion
I found a pack of speculoos cookies in the back of the pantry on the high shelf, ate 6, now I feel sick, am throwing the rest away . No more cookies for this year.

Left a half drunk berocca on the bench this morning. It's evaporated and the house smells like sweaty Vegemite. It's not fantastic.

1500 bucks to fit a half decent tow pack to the car. Thanks to I think it was Thornburywitch who suggested Hyman Reese? double the down ball weight of the stock kia one. Impressive!

Catching up with one of my old bosses for lunch today. I'm kinda nervous. I must come across as much better off having left their organisation that wronged me towards the end and set up on my own (which is the truth anyway). I've only ever burned bridges with past employers so this is a new situation for me to be in.
back from camping. technically back sunday cause the weather saturday was crap then sunday night none of the adults slept a wink. Howling wind, smashing rain and then a thunderstorm rolled in around 6am. We all got up and went "nope, done with this" and bailed early. Spent the last day cleaning and drying and putting everything away. trying to convince the mrs that its time to ditch the tent and upgrade to a campervan or something. Be a bit less at the mercy of the weather.

New Meep pics on reddit, Meep is the cutest cat I have ever seen 🥹 https://www.reddit.com/r/IllegallySmolCats/comments/1imajxb/meep_glamour_shots/
Got my Edifier headphones today and I have a good first impression of them. Audio over USB just worked and I've connected them to my phone and work computer over bluetooth. Audio quality is pretty good. Honestly, you can't complain for $60 that are just going to be work headphones
