    I have a sore throat and a headache. Fun times. Plus side I guess is that I don’t have anything on till this Arvo, so I can do a sleep in. But I got absorbed into a the YouTube “documentary” about YouTube drama. Oddly fascinating. Like watching a train wreck

      YouTube drama can be weirdly fascinating at times. There’s a 4 hour video on Nickacado Avocado and it’s all so low stakes but incredibly important to the people going through it at the time

    On the train last night some guy kept sneezing next to me without covering his mouth and now I’m sick.

    I went to the office and let my manager know and she said to go home. Which was really nice.

    Teams meetings all day tomorrow anyway, just didn’t want to be away from work. The difference between sectors is dramatic.

      Fkn ferals! Crawling all over the trains and trams, coughing and snuffling, wiping their faces with their hands and smearing it everywhere like angry monkeys throwing their shit.

      Why don’t the Geneva Conventions on Biological Warfare extend to the common disease-ridden citizen?

      Don’t even get me started on buses.

      I got up and walked away from someone on the ferry who kept coughing wetly. I can only hope she was recovering from something, but I was not taking the risk.

        I’m still piiiiiiiiised about when my expensive trip to Mildura was ruined by some lady who was coughing all weekend. I think I ended up with a combination of food poisoning and the cold while stranded hundreds of KMs from home in almost the middle of nowhere.

        sick

        Throwing up into a rubbish bag on a bus is not good. Fucking horrendous experience.

      I still see far too much of this in public, and it makes me mad, especially as someone who hasn’t been able to work for the past week from covid. Some people either learnt nothing from the last few years or simply don’t give a damn and it shows.

    I… Did not realise they got Eli Roth to direct the Borderlands film… And they made it… PG13???

    I’m sorry, the guy who directed, produced, and wrote: Cabin Fever, Hostel I and II, and The Green Inferno, did a PG13 adaption of motherfucking BORDERLANDS‽

    IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN R18 SPLATTER FILM GODFUCKINGDAMMIT

    I want to get off this timeline

      Apparently it was filmed a few years back and then reshot. A stunt actor recently said it had a lot of head popping, etc. so it was probably R and went to PG.

      tldr: studio interference (as usual)

      I’ve not heard good things about the movie. Also I think it did really badly at the box office.

      I’m so disappointed in the casting of that thing. And the pg13 is just stupid.

      Loved borderlands 1 and 2, and this is what we get. An animation would have been heaps better.

      Maybe it was and the studio execs took all the good bits out to cater to a “wider audience”?

      Yeah the timelines getting strange hey. First the trump thing, then Biden drops out, Australia comes 4th at the Olympics, Dutton backing “green” energy, High Jackman puts the claws back on… We keep swining between the good timeline and the darkest.

    To balance last weeks good luck getting third in line at the food market, today I got third last. I ended up with three parsnips so will have to do lots of roast vegie dishes. Also a leek and some potatoes, which would be much better news if it was still soup weather.

    Shout out to my goodest girl: the Staffy X Kelpie. I’m trying a new walking technique to reduce the pulling cause its all gotten a bit shit since kiddo joined us. She was always the better of the 2 dogs but with the new technique she had it dialed in within like 5 minutes. She was a nightmare on a lead when we got her so to see the progress she has made was just been awesome.

    The other dog we wont be talking about here.

    Rejected for a job because I was basically too good (?), but they’ve invited me to apply for a more senior role coming up next month. Not really sure what to do with this information.

      at which point they’ll tell you that you don’t have enough experience for the senior role. Why? Cause they’re fuckers.

      Least thats my experience.

        The more senior role is very similar to my last job, but yep, every chance there’ll be another amazing candidate so I’m certainly not holding my breath.

      It’s great they offered to put you forward for another position. I’ve had that excuse and no one knows what to do, like ‘so you don’t want to employ competent people?’

    I struggled to get home this afternoon. I kept wanting to fall asleep as I was driving home.

    Made it home through had a wash then flopped on my bed and fell asleep until now.

    I think my blanket last night was too warm for me so I’m going to change it out for a few days as it’s been warmer.

    Anyway making some garlic bread now.

    Hungry!

    I care so little for US politics and I am already tired of hearing about that train wreck, despite actively avoiding it. I can’t escape it I figured it must be close to the election so I googled it.

    We got another 3 months of this.

      I was absolutely here prior to “the change” and now I’m all here for it. It went from “good guys gonna get smashed” to “Holy shit good guys are gonna win and bad guys gonna get their asses kicked”. Love a come from behind story.

      I wish Americans would stop this whole superiority complex thing they have, and acting like everybody needs to know about it

      Chief. Your country is falling apart, basically a 3rd world country with rich white people, and you literally had Trump as president. Nobody else gives a fuck about who wins your shitty little race race. Your country is beyond repair either way. Also, US politics aren’t the default politics, and the US isn’t the default country 🤷‍♂️

      It so is, I’ve been putting a load out when my MIL isn’t in the backroom of her place (which is where the back door is). Unfortunately she usually sits there so it limits me to before she gets up or when she has her afternoon nap.
