It’s going to rain. Take a brolly.

Went to Aldi and saw some of those extreme thermo boots.
I almost bit the bullet but I wasn’t quite sure if those boots were going to be comfy enough or too warm for me to wear as I normally wear work boots to work and they’re starting to go.
Still thinking if I should have gotten them or not.
I bought some and can confirm they are super warm and with a good sturdy grip. Will use them for outdoor winter stuff. And at $35 I don’t care if they get muddy and trashed. I reckon they would be too warm and chunky for an office.
Oh bugger. I work both indoors and outdoors by the majority of the time I’m indoors in an office.
At the moment I use tradies steel capped boots so im not sure if that’s any good of a comparison.
35 for a pair of boots that would last quite awhile looked quite attractive to me but not sure how long they would last either.
I guess it depends how cold your feet get. They aren’t steel caps so if you need to meet safety requirements they wouldn’t pass. Open a box in store and try them on in the shop, heaps of people were doing it.
Nah. Not a safety requirement. I just appreciated just sturdy they were and eventually got used to the added weight.
I’m not sure, I’ve been wearing those sorts of boots for quite awhile now and I don’t feel cold in them.
I did try one on quickly and it was ok but it was o my for a quick moment and the front of the boot sort of curls up a little I noticed.
Not sure how warm they would get after awhile of wearing them though.
On a cross-town trip to prahan. Love it when the trains all line up so well
I had to catch 2 buses then a tram a couple of weeks ago and it lined up so well going to my destination (max 5 min wait time for each) but sucked on the way back because it would’ve been a 10 min wait for the tram and 25ish for each bus so I ended up doing bus then tram then walk
On my way back now, and yeah, it doesn’t line up that great on the way back. But I think I’m a bit luckier where I am, just because I’m going from the Inner North to the Inner South, so I’m not really in a place where busses are required. Just trains, or if I really wanted to extend the trip, I could take two trams.
Busses are, by far, my least favourite type of public transport lol
My cooking attempts with chicken drumsticks for the last few days have sort of failed.
I don’t know if I can be bothered getting flour today as this would make it my 3rd trip down to the shops.
Was going to attempt a batter using only cornstarch and egg with some heavy seasoning tonight and see how that goes.
This is for an air fryer as well.
If you can’t get flour, or want a crispier drumstick, panko bread crumbs are also good to use. Your batter sounds like it would be sticky enough to make sure the bread crumbs stick. Least, that’s the result of my partner’s experiments to make fried chicken at home :D
following Thorn’s tips next time buy tempura batter mix.
I make a popcorn chicken type thing with a bunch of spices in cornflower and it tastes pretty good. I go really heavy on the salt because I find it nicer super salty, but that’s just me being weird. Mix some cayenne pepper in if you have it, adds a nice taste and a bit of kick!
If you want crispy chicken use cornflakes. Put them in a bag and crush them then add all your flavours with the crumbs. Lather your drumsticks up with yogurt, mayo or egg and roll the drumsticks in it. Airfry
Would recommend mixing the batter with ICE cold water or even shaved ice for extra crispy finish. This is essentially a tempura batter that you are planning. Drumsticks tempura! The batter may well burn in the airfryer even on lowish heat, as the drumsticks will take MUCH longer to cook than the batter. Would recommend par-cooking the chooklegs in the microwave in moist heat, then battering them for the airfryer.

I went outside and it’s actually really nice. I can’t sleep either though (I was so tired I went to sleep at 6 then woke up at midnight and couldn’t get back to sleep 😒)
There’s something about the quietness of nighttime on a slightly chilly and fairly windy night. Peaceful. If I wasn’t scared of things that fly and/or have 8 legs I’d sit outside
Sleep well everyone
Thank you Thorn😘
Trying to get the mrs to understand that servicing a modern DPF diesel engine, plus tyres and brakes on a big SUV is gonna be bloody expensive (and given its “my” car cost ME), meanwhile I can replace her whole engine for 20 bucks and run the thing off the smell of an oily rag. Meanwhile the SUV has copped 10k km and shitbox hasn’t hit 2k km.
I shouldnt call it a shitbox, its such a fun little car to drive I love that thing to death.
Go into the office, come home with the sniffles.
Stupid dirty infected denizens.
So many people out sick at the moment. I woke up with a sore throat and I’ve hardly been out and wear a mask.
There’s a bout of covid going through my office for the past few weeks. Mine isn’t covid (tested 3 times already) and probably not the flu (had my shot a couple of months back). Most likely just some head cold virus thingy that is more annoying than anything.
I’ve been fake taking extra shots from my puffer because of filthy looks on the bus. Really not sick people, this cough is my normal.
Been coughing for 3 weeks. keept getting dirty looks from colleagues. Was thinking I should wear a sign that says “dont worry, its just daycare germs. So long as I dont lick your eyeballs you wont catch it”.
After my xmas bout of whatever-the-fuck-virus I had a lingering cough for like 6 weeks. Went into work and had to keep explaining that I’m not sick, and not contagious. I understand the trepidation though. Still too many nuffies that think going into work while actively sick is some sort of show of strength.
The BoMs are saying that rains due around 4 in my area. I hope it’s not lying because I lost my umbrella and don’t want to buy a new one
I like going to musicals but haven’t been for some time because the current offerings are so boring. It’s just the same shows being recycled. I feel like theatre has followed the same trend as pop movies, just reboots and reruns because they are safe. Original creativity is seen as too high risk. It’s a bit sad when the art has left the arts.
I sort of agree, but at the same time my first experience of theatre was Cats and that is crazy.
I agree and observe that it’s been like that too for orchestral performances , ballet and opera for decades now. There aren’t even new recordings anymore, just re-releases decade after decade.
I suppose that’s one reason why I listen to so many movie soundtracks, it’s new music.
@SituationCake @Thornburywitch There’s occasional pieces of new brilliance (Aussie musical Fangirls is phenomenal) but yeah, so many repeat runs of the same things at high ticket prices no less

Is it an effective water repellent when partially consumed?
depends how much of the skin you’ve left intact
for ants
So have my internal job interview next week. I’ve put my expected salary as 10% greater than I currently have, but about 9 months ago they made the role that I’m going for no longer an automatic pay jump. I know they will say my pay will remain the same and I don’t know how to respond to that. They are desperate for people right now, but so is the team id be leaving. I am definitely worth a raise but my company is cheap. The company also loves to bluff - like you ask for a raise, they will tell you no chance UNTIL you have another job offer and say you’re leaving. It’s a tricky one. Any thoughts?
Advice I’ve seen on lemmee.World is if they offer you a promotion without a payrise you put that on your resume and immediately look for another job elsewhere paying the money you were looking for

You get to set the conditions and timetable of your personal career goals, not them.
