    Our work slack communications become increasingly meme-driven on a Friday. It’s a little reminder that my little work team is nice and I am very lucky.

    And we haven’t done a good things thread for a while - anyone else got one to help with the grey day?

      Well I’m looking forward to the weekend and the few days off I have coming up.

      I also have a working from home day later next week but I’m thinking I spread out the load over the weekend so I have the day completely off.

      I’ve been meaning to share I really like the windchime I bought over a year ago. I got a good one from Rivers of Yarrambat and it has been great. It sounds nice, opening the door to the backyard fills the room with a nice sound, and it hasn’t shown a sign of wear in that whole time.

      I think placement makes a big difference, I lucked out putting it somewhere it doesn’t cop too much wind, so most days it gives a nice ambient sound without going wild.

    Our Anniversary is towards the end of June and I’ve pretty much got the evening all planned. How long do you think I should wait before telling my girlfriend we have plans?

    I wouldn’t tell her what it is just get, but maybe just to be like ‘keep your calendar clear on the 21st, I’ve got it all sorted.’

    I’m really sad to hear Magda Szubanskis cancer diagnosis. I have had very many belly laughs from her comedy talents over the years. And she seems like a genuinely great person. I hope she can make it through.

    Against common sense I’m doing some work at home so I have the day free on my working from home day.

    Sadly I’m too wrecked from work and the headache I’ve been nursing all day to be much fun on a date. have rescheduled to next week without issue.

    Time for a nice long Epsom salts bath.

    Might have found a store with staff more useless than Bunnings. SuperCheap Auto.

    Need new headlight globes. Take them out, bring them in, ask the people there for some help. Bloke grabs a couple of the shelf and rings them up. I walk to my car, look at the box and the fitting looks wrong. Sure enough, it’s the wrong type. I go back in and ask to exchange and he’s trying to tell me they’re the right ones.

    I take one out of the box put it against one of my old ones, similar, but definitely not the same. He mumbles something like “I should have been more specific”

    Mate, how much more fucking specific do you want?

    He tries to help me again, and I kind of shoo him away, grab the right globes, swap them and job done.

    I feel it’s my fault for not grabbing them myself to begin with instead of asking for help.

      I bought headlight globes at SuperCheap last year. They were supposed to be extra long lasting, which turned out to only be two months. They also didn’t seem to be as bright as they should have been. I got more expensive Phillips ones sourced from somewhere else to replace them and was much happier, they were brighter and still going strong when I traded the car in.

        Hope these last a bit longer. Went through a booze bus yesterday and the cop told me one of my headlights is out. No ticket, but I’m taking 0 chances.
