    I leave the thread for a day or so to read a book I got obsessed with (Drift by C J Turner) and next thing people are talking in German about their pets and Tone’s assaulted in the supermarket! Jesus Christ on a bicycle!

    My head still hurts this morning, it feels like a bad headache. Trying to do some work but my motivation is pretty low. Still wondering why me? Of all the people gawking at this guy going nuts, I was the one he singled out.

    I called the police last night to ask why I hadn’t been contacted yet, a sergeant got in contact with me and apologised that the officers at the scene didn’t even ask for my details when I told them what happened. The guy had only been charged with property destruction offences before I called, what happened to me wasn’t even recorded. What a joke right? I’m giving a statement on Friday.

      That’s a horrible thing you’ve been through! Disappointing of the cops to say the least. You were assaulted in a public place in front of how many witnesses? They should’ve been onto it straight away.

      I have no idea. Could be because you turned away or the movement attracted notice, or you were just directly in sight of the single brain cell.

      That’s concerning. Fingers crossed that it’s all okay 🤞It’s also really poor that the assault wasn’t recorded. I’m hoping he gets a kick in the arse and winds up with a headache of his own.

    I went to make a cup of tea and my favourite mug just went ‘crack’ right through when I poured the boiling water in. And then the water was coming out the bottom somewhere.

    It’s probably 20 years old. Very sad. I have a million mugs (I think they breed in the cupboard) but only a handful of ‘good’ ones which are my go-tos for tea.

      Once upon a time the Advanced students got to keep a mug in the teachers lounge because class was out of usual hours. Mine vanished. After exams were over a dickhead I once had a crush on admitted to breaking it months ago. Dude…

      We do with surprise gifts. My wife a cool set of PJs for me recently and got them. I reciprocated with a nicer set for her. Pretty much told her no more sleepwear for the time being. At risk of getting pricey and silky

    I think I figured out why I’m not enjoying my new role.

    The people are nerds, but not in a good way. They’re the nerds that were teacher pleasing brown-nosers who would throw anyone and everyone under a bus to get an inch ahead.

    There’s also people who are very quick to make their problems our problems. Sound like communism to me 😁

    I’ve also noticed that I can ignore emails and people eventually leave me along.

    So that’s good.

      Fixed or temporary? Doesn’t sound very positive. Maybe their previous supervisors expected more brown nosing? Maybe that’s why they’re partly a dumping ground for others problems.

    Finished stressful work day. Having beer in beer garden while I wait for my friend to finish work. Then we go try a new Sichuan restaurant (kind of our hobby eating at new restaurants, typically Chinese?.

    .
    Got the “Mixed spicy” (without further clarification listed in english) which was unexpectedly a cold dish, kinda like hainanese chicken in soup but with Szechuan flavour (lots of numbing). Very good!

        One of my recent favourites has been Old St Hunan: https://g.co/kgs/Yrcrm7u
        I feel like I need more tries of tonights place: Pretty Sichuan taste https://maps.app.goo.gl/m7hLJ6KzP6G2e79G9 but I was highly impressed. Felt very authentic, and great value. I don’t think I’ve had a dish in Melbourne with that much numbing spice before, it was awesome.
        I’m also a big fan of a few of the hand pulled Chinese noodle spots in the CBD, like Bowltiful, but my favourite is probably Master Lanzhou Chinese Noodles (Specifically the Swanston st store which has bigger variety)

    I got caught in a fine icy rain on my walk, and now that I’m back the sun’s out. I’m sitting in the sun on the lounge with a cup of coffee, dog at my side and cat at my feet. This is very pleasant.

        Mr Woof has taken over the master bedroom and seems pretty relaxed about the whole move. He is still a bit unsure about the dog door though.

        Miss Meow is less happy. She’s spent lot of time exploring, but spent most of yesterday hiding in the sewing room. I don’t think she likes the change of routine much, but she’ll get used to it. She’s been very cuddly overnight, even cuddled up to Mr Woof on the bed. She’s not been outside yet, but given the weather is a bit miserable that’s probably not much of an attraction anyway.

This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.

The focus of our discussions is based around things that affect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.
