Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
I can't complain. The guy who lives across from had another loud get together on Monday night till almost midnight which kept me up on Monday night. He didn't seem to be around last night so I had a good night's sleep in comparison.

I was expecting them to just get confiscated to be honest, they're actually knuckle dusters, with a bit on the end so they bolt to the footpeg mount, go customs!

Thanks for that Mugsy, contacted Payroll about it today. Guess I figured the government would tell them but I suppose not.Mugsy wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 21:19Anyway, well done Otto for reaching a key milestone. Be sure to inform the workplace (I think it's the workplace) that your HECS is paid off else, from memory, they will keep paying and you won't get that overpayment back till your next tax return. That reminds me I gotta chase up on my own tax return.

Was a nice tax back year after that

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
Been an interesting week so far and it's only Tuesday - first thing Monday morning my boss received a call to say her mum had been found dead inside her home by the carers that visit each morning to help her get showered and sorted for the day. I had hoped something quick and natural like a heart attack but it turns out she had a fall going to bed, hit her head very hard on the corner of the bedside table and essentially bled to death. I hope she was at least knocked unconscious on impact.
Apparently there is a nasty stain on the carpet where she passed, I'm going to try and convince her to let me coordinate for that to be cleaned or the carpet in that room removed and she said she took one look at it, almost vomited and hasn't been able to re-enter the room since.
Really sad... and with a staff of two, I'm now flying solo until further notice.

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
Clearly, Cherry's still in shock RE the passing of her boss' mum to realise a whole day has passed now.
But that is a sad thing to happen to die from an accident. Those sorts of things could have been avoided.

Yeah, felt a bit crappy pointing it out given the rest of the post.

I really hate having group meals and one person tries to avoid chipping in or doesn't commit to a group deal that was bought in advance by someone already.

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
That does suck, but when it happens I tend to do a mental check on whether it's a habit or out of character. If it's our of character they might be struggling financially for some reason or another and a lot of people are too embarrassed to say so.
If it's a closer friend I'd just work on the 'what goes around comes around' principal and hope that in time the scales will balance out. If it's an acquaintance and they do it again I would either call them out on it or avoid making the same mistake a 3rd time by refusing to go if they are.

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
That's true, though, in my mind, if they're struggling financially, I question why they even committed to coming in the first place. I guess I just think that way because my folks have struggled financially for most of their lives and mum refuses to go to any family gatherings when she knows we couldn't contribute our share (that and I have certain relatives who expect everyone else to pay for their share and dad has a soft spot when it comes to this stuff). But in this case, it wasn't a family gathering.

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
So tonight was interesting. Some of those wind speeds are not like the others. I assume it maxes out at 120 just looking at it.

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
Holy Shit... that wind swapped direction and went ballistic. Everything all good?

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
Lost a few trees around town, but just a lot of stuff fairly well stripped and a couple big branches around the house. Not so bad.

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
Allergy season has come late this year, though it's hitting me hard already. And this year the medicine isn't providing me much relief at all.

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
Has everybody been spotting birds for bird week? https://aussiebirdcount.org.au/
I thought it was something different to do for 20min. I enjoyed it, actually really looking and counting what was getting around my place. I also finally found out why there's a Kingfisher hanging out when there's absolutely no water (or fish) anywhere near here for him; He's been getting stuck into the skinks. There's a billion of them in and around the gardens, I've never actually seen anything trying to eat them before.

Re: Fleeting/Random/Thoughts
I actually spent a few hours this morning reading outside while watching a nest built (listen to the background for why i CBF counting birds):
