So first week is over!!!
Feel really good about having a weekend, now that I’m actually working.
No red flags as yet, can start working from home next week. Nothing much else to really report. So far so good!!!
It’s so good to hear you’re happy ♥
Thank you ❤️ I know this place is just a forum, but the people here have made a huge difference to my life, which I am incredibly grateful for 🙏
In tribute to you we will be playing Amr Diab (poor man’s Ricky Martin) tonight. Actually, we play him every Friday because we’re tryna make him our #1 Spotify song. 👍
Alright I’m cranking him. Fuck it lol
I haven’t actually listened since I was a kid. Im genuinely curious to see what middle eaten music sounds like these days.
I only really listen to Om Kalsoum. Ask your hubby if he likes that sort of stuff.
Are you fucking kidding me? Om Kulthum is the only Arab we know. My FIL favourite singer of all time. My husband started laughing.
As far as he knows Om Kulthum means mother of underwear.
You are an actual star 💜💜💜
Woohoo congrats!!!
Being an observer to your life has been a cool journey.
All the best brother 😁 to you and your cat.
Thanks man, I really appreciate you saying that 😊 It’s been a hell of a ride so far lol
I’ve survived the week, online classes until 6.30pm tonight.
Glad I’ve done this for myself.
Well done ❤️ You know what time it is? Breach wanderers time lol
Not for another hour 😭 but I have got Mirely up to level 10, and defeated the boss for the Fetid Coast quest. Now I have one to do with White flame Golems and one for Depth Level 4!
I bought the butterfly knight, but I haven’t played them yet. Had to buy the one that repped my NB status haha! Ended up with all the skins for Mirely because she’s level 10 and deserves it lol
Thank you for getting me into this game, it’s such a blast!!! 💜 You’re a gem, Gibs!
Holy shit you beat the boss?!?!?
Fuck yeah!!!
I’ve been using the paladin but I’m switching to Mirely if I can beat the boss and get to depth level 4.
I just love how different every character plays like. Adds so much complexity to the game!
It is complex! I’m playing the bladerfly and he plays so differently from Mirely.
With Mirely it feels like cheating, build an evasion build with her, and you can just dodge everything. You can eventually level her up so she has a chance to dodge statuses when hidden. It’s insane. Give her an angry spirit or two and yeah, she can steamroll.
The game defo gets harder, but all the more interesting. I’m very excited to try all the heroes, the complexity of the game is hidden behind it’s cartoon, adventure quest-esque charm. Cannot thank you enough, owe you your favourite drink, friend!
Thanks for the heads up about Mirely! Absolute beast! I saved up and now I have 4 camping things so I reckon I can finally beat depth level 3!
The character with the different stances is hard to get your head around.
Going to try the bladed butterfly as well.
Such a great game which is basically free!
Cheers Couch Athletes. 🍻 Let the games begin!🇦🇺🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🍺💚🇦🇺
Cheers! 🍺🦘🏅
Oi oi oi 🍺
Cheers!
I’m not embedded on the couch yet because I’m being smart and doing washing right now for more weekend time!
🍕 🍷
Edit: Also may the best cat win tomorrow.
I don’t watch football, but I’m still going to have pizza for tea, so pizza cheers I guess
🍕 cheers!
Crikey 🍺
Join in the chorus 🦘 May the best team win.
We are Geelong… 🐈
North Melbourne’s on the ball. 🦘
ta da, first coat of stain/varnish is done, it’s much nicer than I thought it would be, such a good product!
spoiler
Black Japan. Always impressive. What colour is the fabric?
it’s a patchwork of baroque fabrics
Thanks for sharing this. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. (If you wouldn’t mind sharing) The stain will definitely make most fabric colours pop.
I used this colour on a small flip top student desk to great effect . I tried applying a gold leaf scrimshaw design around the edges and failed miserably haha. So had to keep it simple with just the stain.
I’m going to make some big scatter cushions as well to match and some of the fabrics have silver or gold thread. Just a tiny touch of gilding effect 👍
oooooo
Looks amazing. Great work!
That’s looking really nice!
Wow. Nice work!
Leaving SR and have the sads… 10/10 would come back. Yes, the heat is oppressive, but I just really dig the idea of Angkor Wat being in my backyard…
Angkor Wat is amazing.
Nice. Seriously one of the most amazing places I’ve been to.
Sussing a few things on the roof for the p’s. Quite the view:
As a youngen used to come back from parties mashed and sit up there at night and look at the skyline (and got into a lot of trouble if caught). In hindsight probably not wise.
These days it’s all about loose tiles and gutters.
nice roofs
In hindsight probably not wise.

Ok, it’s happened again. I don’t watch TV, except when the Olympics or World Cup are on. I am amped to be completely smothered in sport for a few weeks until I again am sick of sports for another four years. 🏑🏃♂️🚴♂️🤸♀️🏅🏀🏓🎯🏸
Same same, love me the archery. Favourite to watch of the Olympic sports
I love them all - I’m always amazed seeing people who are the best in the world at what they do, doing their thing.
The biggest change in our house is the kids have taken up hockey in the past four years. So, hockey (a sport I’ve been mildly interested in at most) is going to be a huge deal. I think Perth might be the HQ for hockey in Australia. The kids met and had photos playing and hanging out with the Hockeyroos - who visited our club.
Only time I regret not having a TV (but can just watch on 7plus anyway I assume 🤷♂️
My wife and I spent an hour trying to justify buying a TV for shits and giggles.
We came up with a massive list of arguments. A large handful of strong against, and 1 weak support.
We had a landlord-provided TV in the old apartment. We both lived there for 2 years, the TV used for probably an hour in total.
$27 gets you a month of Stan + the sports pack. Every event live or on-demand at a time that suits you. No ads. It’s amazeballs. I just watched four rugby rapid recaps, 8 hours of rugby distilled into 20 intense minutes. You can watch on whatever screen you have.
Friday Flex - charging up a herbal vape on my work laptop.
Fuck the sytsem
A touch too warm for me but looks well insulated. I’ll give it that.
Looks cosy
Thanks for the image, I’m banned from marketplace for some reason
Toasty.
That’s a hot deal. Offer while stocks last, indeed.
What’s everyone doing tonight?
Making music and staying up till midnight because I’ve been crashing at 9pm for work all week lol
Spent about 5+ hours on a bus only to be stuck in traffic hell for another hour in a Tuk Tuk… Go me… 😂
Was watching NRL but that’s finished now (GO STORM) and was thinking I might fire up Red Dead Redemption 2 because I’m trying again to get into the game
Went out to local Malaysian food, now home and will choose a movie to watch.
Malaysian food is so underrated. So unique and so good.
Staying out of the ice wind. About to start season 3 of The Bear.
Mildly drunk and stoned…re watching Game of Thrones.
Light of the Seven (song/track) is absolutely haunting
wõrk
Devouring a pizza. Watching the footy. Staying warm.
Let’s go blue baggers!
Bit worried. I did tip the Blues knowing they lost a good number of players.
Port are playing better than expected.
No
I called it! I tipped wrong tonight and the Blues lost.
Wheezing
Oh shit. That’s not fun.
Just watched an episode of House (the kid’s current fave show), now going to bed. Had a really full-on week and I’m knackered.
My kid had that House phase too.
Good night.
this has quite a bit of the old ultraviolence
Magicians, lasagne and chips
Having a quiet night on the couch with a mug of hot rooibos tea and bossa nova playing in the background, perfect for unwinding and writing out lists of random things I need to do.
Bruh shits deep

This is my SOUL
Well today is it. I’ve just emailed not only the HR person but also the two people who interviewed me, making sure they know if an offer doesn’t come by COB today I can’t guarantee my availability for the new roles start date. Going to be hilarious and depressing when I hear nothing in reply

sorry, disagree. You’re putting yourself first and that’s something to be proud of! if they cant sort their shit out in a few days they aren’t someone you wanna work for anyway.
That really sucks mate. At best you’ve lit a fire under them. At worst, you’ll have an answer 🤞🏾
ooooh xero don’t you DARE go offline at 4:40 on FRIDAY…
EDIT: Stand down. It was just slow. Admin done. Weekend is here 🍻
One thing I didn’t account for is having to acclimate to looking at a screen for 8 hours. Weirdest headache last night.
Hopefully it eases up in a few more days.
Might be worth an eye test if you havnt had one in a while. Slow blinking and plenty of water too.
Yes!! I had to get ‘computer’ glasses years ago cause my eyes would hurt after work. My vision is pretty much perfect, but screens play havoc on me. Since getting the specs, no such issues.
I need new glasses really fucking badly. Mine are so scratched I’m surprised I can still see through them lol
Are your shoulders and neck sore as well?
Not sitting properly can cause pain there which subsequently leads to a headache.
Yeah I’ve got a shoulder injury from years ago that flares up if my posture is bad. Might have to make some changes at the desk
It’s not the screen. It’s your eyes focused on one thing constantly. You need to give them a break every 45 minutes or so. Even something as simple as looking at something distant for a minute every hour will help a great deal.
Good idea. I’m talking a 10 Min walk around the block every couple of hours.
I’m so over being at home. I seem to be done with the night sweats and headaches and sore throat; the cough is now mostly at night and after eating food. Yesterday I hardly coughed until right after dinner when it turned into a couple hours of feeling like I had little flecks of liquid constantly entering my windpipe, resulting in increasingly chesty yet mostly dry coughs. I think it’s laryngopharyngneal reflux, took a PPI last night and one this nothing and not coughing nearly as much tonight.
If I stay on the PPIs for several days hopefully that’ll be it. I desperately need to go out for some chores this weekend and to break the cabin fever. And I really DO NOT want to keep working from home next week
E: really craving fish and potato patties… or soft floppy hot chips.
hugs , hope you’re feeling much better soon and are able to go out asap
