    I was half an hour late lol

    The people in my team told me I was the best manager they’ve ever had. Put a huge smile on my face.

    Because I actually cared about them and not just about myself.

    Warmer than the fridge outside!! I might be able to forgoe the fingerless gloves and scarf for our walk this morning.

    Today’s main task is going to be polysyrene disposal - all the furniture I bought included a ridiculous amount of the stuff, and I haven’t even opened all the boxes yet. I have a pile in the back of the van to take to the recycling centre in Bayswater, unfortunately there are no recycling options for polystyrene around Ballarat. I’ll probably be able to bring another lot down after the move, as I’ll have to come back to do some more garden tidying etc. anyway. I’ll also have a van load of cardboard boxes to take to the tip, moving things around uses an awful lot of packaging.

    Holy Shit!

    I never in all my born days thought this would happen. But on reflection, the article makes a good point about confluent aspirations.

      There are some episodes of the QAA podcast on the crossover between the wellness industry and conspiracy theories so this doesn’t feel like a massive jump.

      When people are already rejecting vaccines and science it’s probably easier to sell them on eugenics

        Yeah, just look at RFK jr

        All his weird wellness stuff and proposal of work camps for ‘addicts’ (cough fascism) and now he’s trying to find the cause of/cure autism (cough eugenics)

      Yeah, the crunchy to alt-right pipeline :( Gotta watch out for that in certain hobbies for sure.

      This is especially disgusting though. It’s no longer a dogwhistle but a foghorn. Weird racist cult behaviour masquerading as something wholesome.

    having to tell people off for having an ad hoc meeting right next to my desk. The looks they gave me I nearly turned around and said “Bro this isnt even your area! If your gonna sit in IT’s section least you can do is be respectful and not shout at each other 2 meters from my desk!”

      I have the same problem, especially when I’m on my break though I don’t have the courage to tell people they’re being too loud and disturbing me,

    Polystyrene has now been disposed of, and I stopped in for some more packing materials on the way back. Oh, alright, it was actually the craft resource rescue place, and the packing materials are mostly bits of fabric etc., but close enough! I also grabbed a couple of rectangular tins with hinged lids which were some sort of promotional hair care thing, but will be great little rubbish bins for the bathrooms. I had plans for a big coffee tin, but these will work better - I might even cover them with the wallpaper I found.

    Power is back on? Yes! What a relief.

    I wish I had the energy to sort out more battery powered stuff and physical media for these times just to take the edge off. It’s never hugely long and not frequent but it really gets to me.

    I still haven’t fixed the solar panel/car battery combo and at this point it’s unlikely I’ll be able to sort it out >.<

    Power is out for works and that always stresses me out so badly even when it’s just a few hours. It feels like being cut off from warmth, light, and other people.

    I have a solar powered lamp and some power packs but they don’t hold much charge and my phone battery drops so fast (especially when I won’t stop using it). Just waiting for things to go back to normal.

    I’ve also spent the day really sick.

    I’m grateful for everything I have in life. I just wish it was a bit easier.

    Miss Meow has been evicted from Mr Woof’s travel carrier, and I am about to embark on our first trial run down the road for a walk. Finger’s crossed he finds it as comfy as Miss Meow does.

    Unwell and wfh (somewhat) today, but got distracted by a house restoration show and have gone down a snoopy real estate rabbit hole

    Meanwhile, the warm fluffy oodie I ordered has arrived at work, while I’m at home where it’s chilly
