    I have a favourite work mate. But today he came to work sick and now I’m feeling a bit shit.

    I really wish people wouldn’t do that.

    Day 3 of no coffee. Tea is fine, but I really miss the ceremony of it all. I’ll probably go get a chai or hot chocolate this arvo. Not swearing off coffee for good, I’m only human. Just wanna see the impact to my stomach.

      7 eleven hot choccees are/were (haven’t had one in a while) better then most cafes imo. And 7 eleven is open 24/7 :D

      I’m happy not to have a coffee habit. I do usually get 1 coffee a week from the local yuppy cafe, but besides that, I don’t drink coffees at home and very rarely get them elsewhere

          1 cup coffee plungers can be used to make tea at the office and very nice tea at that. The real problem with loose leaf tea in an office is disposing of the used leaves.

    More work mates have fallen ill it seems. This time even the higher ups. Appears that I am the highest ranking person in my group today and have been made delegate at a upper management meeting.

    Thankfully I’m not speaking or presenting, and notes will be available after BUT my presence is required because of reasons.

    Yay, I guess.

    My packages are with customs. Hopefully they hand them over soon, I want my ethically dubious cheap Chinese junk NOW!

    I’ve got Debian installed, the shield mounted, and can remote desktop from my phone, laptop and computer.

    I’m getting pretty good at this whole IT thing

      Sorry, but nope. To be good at the whole IT thing you have to ask “have you logged a ticket” when you bloody KNOW the answer is no.

        I can setup my own Jira instance. I’ll have to lodge some tickets against myself. It would be a good way to track the things I want to do actually

          This is a step up from me creating a to do list of the most inane crap so I can tick half of it off and feel satisfied…

            With Jira you can post comments everyday on why things haven’t been done and push the due date back. That way you can feel like you’re accomplishing things without actually doing anything

          And justify your own job before you make you redundant. I had to fire me after some pretty serious allegations of sexual harassment against myself.

    My feet seem to have spread quite a bit as I’ve gotten older and some of my shoes that used to fit don’t any more. I’ve just gone through all of them and decluttered 4 pairs that are a bit too tight now (and thrown out one pair as the fabric has cracked). A few pairs that used to be in the “can be worn with thick socks” category now fit with standard socks. I think I’m almost down to a sensible number of shoes.

    Dammit, have a full on day at work today and have to cover for someone as well on top of that.

    Now all I need is rain and that’ll complete the day.

    After another what I thought was a good date only to be ghosted afterwards (and I waited 6 hours for them too) I am deleting dating apps. And I am deleting reddit off my phone.

    No more distractions. No more external elements in life that bring me misery and depression.

    Good riddance.

      After another what I thought was a good date only to be ghosted afterwards (and I waited 6 hours for them too)

      F me thats bad. I had someone show up to a date an hour and a half late once, then was surprised when I was barely keen when they finally showed. A mates mrs (who set us up) was excited to ask me how it went. I said “Well, she stood me up for ages… so not really interested!” She replies “Oh, thats just who she is. You’ll get to know her!” “Nah, I’m right thanks. I might hate myself, but I respect myself more than that”.

        It wasn’t a stand up. It was more I was in Launceston doing some things, hoping to see my brother who was flying in to watch the footy but he had flight issues, and I talked to her and she had something on and wanted to meet afterwards.

        It means waiting 6 hours but she seemed keen to meet. I liked what I knew of her, we spoke on the phone, so I went for it.

        Thought it went well but … apparently not.

        It also takes me 90-100 minutes to get to Launceston.

        I feel like a real mug sometimes.

          Miss 100% of the shots you don’t take bro. Look at it as an absolute win: you’re not so jaded that you didn’t try.

      I’m sorry you went through that. It’s happened to me as well and it hurts like hell.

      The apps aren’t really good for ones mental health. They are tipped heavily against the average man as well.

      Take some time to heal, and try going out and meeting people in real life. It’s a lot harder and I’ve only really started myself, but it’s a lot better.

      Take care of yourself mate ❤️
