    I was half an hour late lol

    The people in my team told me I was the best manager they’ve ever had. Put a huge smile on my face.

    Because I actually cared about them and not just about myself.

    having to tell people off for having an ad hoc meeting right next to my desk. The looks they gave me I nearly turned around and said “Bro this isnt even your area! If your gonna sit in IT’s section least you can do is be respectful and not shout at each other 2 meters from my desk!”

      I have the same problem, especially when I’m on my break though I don’t have the courage to tell people they’re being too loud and disturbing me,

    Unwell and wfh (somewhat) today, but got distracted by a house restoration show and have gone down a snoopy real estate rabbit hole

    Meanwhile, the warm fluffy oodie I ordered has arrived at work, while I’m at home where it’s chilly

    sigh

      There are some episodes of the QAA podcast on the crossover between the wellness industry and conspiracy theories so this doesn’t feel like a massive jump.

      When people are already rejecting vaccines and science it’s probably easier to sell them on eugenics

        Yeah, just look at RFK jr

        All his weird wellness stuff and proposal of work camps for ‘addicts’ (cough fascism) and now he’s trying to find the cause of/cure autism (cough eugenics)

      Yeah, the crunchy to alt-right pipeline :( Gotta watch out for that in certain hobbies for sure.

      This is especially disgusting though. It’s no longer a dogwhistle but a foghorn. Weird racist cult behaviour masquerading as something wholesome.

    I haven’t had a bougie bath in a very long time. Aunt’s bath is really nice (resort sort of nice) so I had to tonight was a long day. Lush. Lit the candles, lights off. i’m not really into that that sort of thing but yea… nice.

    Last time I used that thing was when I chucked hambam in for a bath when he was covered in mud / fuck knows what else.

    Tonight was my night though.

    Man, I think I caught a bit of whatever’s going around. No respiratory issues whatsoever, don’t think I even have a fever but the headache came back with a vengeance and I’ve been so fatigued with so little appetite that I only got out of bed for the first time at 9:30 PM - yes, PM, nearly 24 hrs straight in bed - to pee (an unholy dark liquid) and eat and drink something. Feel full after a couple of bites although my stomach is making all the food noises. Managed to keep down dinner, took two Nurofen with an antacid, back in bed and I hope to HELL that I’ll feel better tomorrow.

    It was an absolutely beautiful afternoon for a walk, I went down to the Mullum Mullum Creek trail. Mr Woof greatly enjoyed all the sniffs and the multiple patches of succulant grass to nibble on. He was less enthused by the mode of transportation to and from. Hopefully I can squeeze in a couple more fun trips for him before he has to go through the long trip to Ballarat.

    Power is out for works and that always stresses me out so badly even when it’s just a few hours. It feels like being cut off from warmth, light, and other people.

    I have a solar powered lamp and some power packs but they don’t hold much charge and my phone battery drops so fast (especially when I won’t stop using it). Just waiting for things to go back to normal.

    I’ve also spent the day really sick.

    I’m grateful for everything I have in life. I just wish it was a bit easier.

    I am slowly working my way through the Discworld books using my Spotify audiobook hours. About halfway through the new(ish) penguin audio versions and I am starting to get the hype. My eyes get sore after a day on the computer and it’s a nice way to drift off.
