    Movers have been and gone, those guys deserved a bigger tip. Not everything fit. Guess the location of “the most important box in the house”?

    New phone screen has an added advantage: the slowness on typing seems to have disappeared. I thought it was the new iOS that slowed it down, but man this is heaps better for no real change other than a new screen.

    and make lists 🙂

    These daily discussion threads are great for tracking what day it is. Sometimes I need a moment of pause to remember which thread is the current one

    The nap to meeting ratio is increasing.

    Wish they’d give me garden leave. Not allowed to say anything to clients. Just feel like I’m going through the motions.

    At least I’m getting paid.

      Honestly, nothing is stopping you from must leaving. Notice periods are a professional courtesy. You won’t be paid for the time you’re not there, but they can’t hold back your entitlements (like annual leave).

      I’ve heard notice period weeks drag on because you can’t do anything about them. You’ll have to find a way to make the most of them and not let it get to you too much

        A company wide email calling out the management for being cunts usually sorts out any notice period from my experience.

    Trampled the shit out of this thing a few months ago doing the retaining wall and was worried it wouldn’t make it. After putting in the watering it has other ideas. I think it’s a giant taro / elephant ear thing:

    Absolute messy jungle corner.

    Seems like people rate them as indoor plants. Would be hilarious to have something like that taking up half the room.

    Think I’m lucky today, not much work to do due to finishing all my backlog earlier in the week.

    If something doesn’t pop up today I’m going to have a cruisy day tomorrow as well.

    For now I’m stapling paper together.

      Very sad to hear!

      Might need to rewatch her episodes of Gossip Girl, her character had such amazing lines. “You can tell Jesus that the bitch is back.” and “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to get drunk enough to make you all seem interesting.”

      I know right?

      From what I’ve read she had a liver transplant recently that resulted in complications.

      Could be wrong though.

    The one time I drag myself out early to do uni fieldwork and pat myself on the back for avoiding traffic… it’s a beautiful cloudy morning and it turns out my equipment is pretty much useless in these conditions 😭 now I have to sit around and wait until the sun clears a bit. I guess I’ll go find something to eat… dosa time!!

    Sorting through stuff at home and found quite a few games for Nintendo 3DS. I don’t think I’d get much trading them (I don’t really know) but we don’t want to keep them either. I don’t want to get Facebook/eBay scammed out of them so I guess I’m just stuck with them. If anyone knows of any place that gives you a decent (ie not completely ripoff) price I’d love to know.

    I’m kind of digging the cloudy morning autumn vibes. Wish the temperatures would reflect it a bit more.

    McDonalds have brought back the breakfast wrap. It’s now much easier to have breakfast in the car again
