I've made a few new friends this week, and reconnected with a few old ones too.
I'm really happy about it. Things weren't great since lock down and it's nice to have a few different groups to hang out with.
I'm a bit of a social butterfly, but lock down really fucked me up.
It's just nice to talk to more than 2 people all the time. I've just always felt like I'm an acquaintance to them whereas to me they were pretty much my only friends.
Neither of them messaged me to say congrats on my 10 years sobriety even though they knew about it, and I posted it on Facebook where they would have seen.
It's a relief.
dinneeerrrr
Love it when I have the enthusiasm (and money) to make exactly what I want. I do think the booze this evening helped 🤪
Yummo
That looks amaaaazing 😍
Looks like it comes from a fancy restaurant, except I can tell your rice is better. Immaculate grain seperation
Heheh thanks I am quite particular about my rice. Rice cooker every time. It is basmati and not jasmine rice though.
Prawns…. drool

Packing continues. Even tho I culled large amounts of belongings over the past 8 months I still have a lot to pack.
I am still very excited to move.
It's a quiet area and I will have so much more privacy too. I hope to get so much work done, art projects and life skills projects, and recuperate from living in this stressful place.
About to get out of here and head up to Beechworth to camp with some animals. I think the boys will love it and it will feed their dinosaur phase

This cyclone is a nice break from Trump
My first thought before watching the latest Severance episode: why is it so short?
I think of each episode like chapters in a book, they have distinct and separate story lines. Some chapters are longer than others.
Severance spoilers:

Zzz give me some plot development. That ep was a drag for me
it's just getting interesting
spoiler
I do believe there will be a legal struggle over patent rights and that means fight over big money
because with these cults it's always about the money
if that stuff gets built , which I hope it doesn't
Decent day of field work owning some data, didn't get too caught up in disgusting traffic on the way back managed to get to the Todd Rd exit and take some back streets through Port Melbourne. Back at it tomoz to finish up unassessed areas and then (ugh) redo some areas with dodgy existing data ... May need an extra day to get through it all.
Then I'll need to hurry up and prepare the data for an entire other area up north and start attacking that asap. Goal is to finish it all by the end of the month. I might just squeeze it in bearing in mind I have a friend visiting from overseas for a week as well...
But for tonight, after having had a couple of drinks with colleagues I am gonna give in to my seafood craving and make a nice Thai seafood curry. I'd normally get takeaway but I think I prefer to spend my money on getting heaps of prawns to make it myself at home. And then I get to really enjoy this week's tv 😎
E: also the stripe on my finger is not cancer, whoopee

Finally! My tip goes to the swannies tonight and the pies tomorrow.
I'm a little weirded out that 1) Eddie McGuire's son looks so much like him and 2) he's old enough to have a proper tv journo job.

Drama at the gym! Two guys yelling at each other, thought it was going to turn into a punch on. Others broke it up. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like that in a gym, it’s usually a happy place.

Confirmed I have to hand over to feckless coworker.
She rang me almost in tears freaking out about it. I feel bad for her, but she has had to do very little as previous manager protected her.
Edit: She just rang me so I could dictate an email to her. Jesus christ.

The map on the abc website of the power outages from Cyclone Alfred is impressive gold coast to byron bay
Unreasonably annoyed at an old boss who went out of her way to criticise me for ordering Who Gives A Crap toilet paper for the office because I "didn't understand how women's bodies work" and that "women need soft TP". Mind you this was when WGAC was brand new and before the order had even arrived, and we were a fellow Melbourne startup so I thought pretty good karma at least to support their brand.
Caught her several years later on social media saying how she has always loved WGAC. No babes. You have not.
Anyway, I think of this anecdote whenever I refill my toilet roll. Haha.

Traffic was crap.
Guess people might be trying to get away early for the long weekend.
My upholstery supplies are out for delivery already. I certainly can't complain about their efficiency.
University of Tasmania library has also been extremely efficient (as usual) and I have a book waiting for me at my door. Mr Woof would have been furious about the incursion.
argh , just argh
