Big thanks to everyone yesterday for the kind advice and support for the ol’ girl.
Sometimes it’s difficult to speak about health concerns to others and be listened to, but not here which I’m very grateful for.
I know I should get over it, but do you think it’s ‘ok’ to be miffed about donating something to someone and not even getting a thank you in return?
It’s been a month. I am mostly over it, but from time to time it comes to mind and it bugs me as someone who lives in a world thinking they’ve never mattered.
If thanks isn’t the first word that comes out of your mouth when given something, then there’s something wrong with you.
Yeah, I’d be pissed off.
Yes absolutely. It’s basic manners.
If it’s a person I donated something to I’d be pretty annoyed but I’ve been more and more noticing how people lack the common courtesy to use just a little bit of manners, which goes a long way.
Send them a note asking if they like it.
I think that’s a normal reaction to not receiving thanks - it’s a simple way of showing gratitude.
I’d definitely be pissed off. How hard is it to say thank you?!
Just been informed an old coworker has passed away. He always made me laugh. The world has lost a good man.
I’m so sorry.
This kitten must eat from everyone else’s plate then take over lol
I love these little fluffy guys. 💖
Trying a new gym class tonight and I’m actually very nervous. My fitness has slipped so much, am looking for something to inspire me!
Go get 'em tiger 💪
You have been charged with 3 counts of supplying out of date pepperoni to your family. How do you plead?
Not guilty, Your Honor 😬
Cheesus! Pepperoni is preserved, goddamit. If no one dies or gets sick, the preservation worked.
Well yes, and even fuzziness is ok on some varieties. White fuzz, not green or blue!
Not mushrooms, not guilty
It’s still good, it’s still good….
Rebound class (mini trampolines!) was SO fun. Already can’t wait to do it again!
Trampolines! That sounds super fun.
Still sick as fuck. Taking small joys in Selkirk the cat and kids apparently staging protest marches in Roblox (which I have never played, but whatever)
rest as much as you can
🍵🍪
Thankyou for the tea, I’ve not really eaten since Friday
saladas with a thin smear of vegemite, and weak black tea is very good at settling a grumbly tummy.
Thanks everyone, I CAN eat just have utterly zero interest in doing so. Calories from honey in my lemon ginger tea
Not good, maybe something simple like some soup might help, at least try and keep your fluids up.
Been there. Can you make some clear broth from cube and have it with a few crackers?
Half strength ensure made with hot water and a splash of milk for cooling is a good warm drink to slowly sip.
not good. Maybe an energy drink will help a little.
Goodnight all ❤️
Good night. 😘
eCommerce launch today at work, quite exciting. This is the whole reason I took this role and it should be a game changer for me going forward
Good luck mate!
Good luck. 🙂
Beach, I will be sure to wear a hat and a windproof jacket 🌞💨🌊
So many pelicans today, must have been at least fifty. When the wind started gusting and a little rain started they hunkered down tucking their chin onto their breast.
Welp, it must be some kind of divine intervention or something but my presentation has been postponed at the last minute to some day next week. I’m still going to work towards finishing up to present to my supervisor tomorrow arvo, I NEED URGENT DEADLINES OR MY BRAIN WON’T WORK.
I too love deadlines and it’s a problem.
So I try to set rules of must do . Check lists help a lot. It’s like a rule.
My problem is that the check lists are out of control (the more I do the more I realise I need to do and my priorities start getting confused). I have managed to stick to some relatively hard constraints for this presentation so I’m going to make sure the slides and all the diagrams are done that way I am free to move back onto the thesis. Rather than juggling everything at once…
Does the presentation have a word limit or talking component limit?
I generally stick to the criteria that they ask for careful not to give too much information if it isn’t called for.
It’s about a 15-20 minute presentation with a relatively vague marking rubric. It ascribes equal components to each aspect of the thesis that I will be presenting on, which is a bit dumb since obviously the intro and discussion will require a lot more time than the aims and probably the results.
The presentation itself is going to be picture heavy but a lot of the time is currently being spent creating the diagrams/maps (I will still need these for the thesis as well so it’s not time wasted at least). I have not even finished the slides let alone started coming up with a draft script to time myself. At first I was worried that I would not even get up to 15 minutes but I think I will be able to have minimal text on the slides and expand/summarise as much as is needed depending on how I’m going for time.
Think of all them data you collected. Put them data into action
I is making pretty map of data trying to remember what I was thinking 3 months ago when sampling this shit
Nearly finished the day’s tasks, then I can do some study. 🙂
my uniseals for patching the tank interlinks came on Monday but I threw my back out on Sunday so I couldn’t get into the tanks yesterday and while better today, it’s too cold for me to be dipping my arthritic paws into tanks full of fucking ice water. Why is life so unkind.
Take care of yourself and I hope your back’s feeling better soon
It’s a cranky shitbeast held together by bailing wires and spite, but i broke it once so i’m still ahead of the game
Don’t you love when you’re driving along listening to some dramatic music and just as the music swells, you happen to look over as the sun is breaking through the clouds? Beautiful!
Winter solstice this weekend!
How does one celebrate a winter solstice?
Anyway you want. Get druidic and pagan if that’s your fancy!
I can do pagan. There may be a bonfire this weekend with potatoes.
Remember to jump over the bonfire with your partner holding hands. Preferably before too many mulled wines have been consumed. Alternatively, drive your cattle and other livestock between two bonfires to protect them from disease etc.
Bearing in mind that a bonfire is newly kindled, that is, you can’t just borrow some fire from your neighbours to start it, you have to make it from scratch.
I’ll have to improvise on some stuff.
Feast, light candles, make lanterns/wreaths, drink mulled wine? I plan on just cheering that the days will start getting a smidge longer!
I can feast! I got this.
With lsd and a bush doof ultimately lol
Hmm. Interesting.
