I was part of the Medibank, Optus and Latitude cyber hacks, and just received a notification from Qantas that I’m involved in theirs. Protection of my personal information is just meaningless at this point.
Yet voting in elections online is too risky. 🤔
Yeah, same for me with Qantas and Optus. Optus breach made me leave them and not pay my last bill because fuck them. Debt has since been sold to a collection agency and I just ignore their calls 😂 my debt is under $170 so they’ll write it off eventually, it’s been a few years now haha
But yeah, personal data not being personal anymore? I’m really fucking sick of it. Qantas can suck my metaphorical dick.
We know all about you, Steve.
You’ve really had a did run at the opsec lottery. If anything I’m just as lucky to have been on the other side of some of these
Marge …
and dog tales
I sit having my lunch of coffee and peanut butter toast
out of the corner of my eye I see the dog sit next to me I ignore her dog puts her paws on my thighs I ignore dog moves to other side dog moves to chair next to me dog moves to chair on opposite side of table and looks at me eating , licking her lips and chewing air every time I take a bite
this dog is quite entertaining
The bedside tables are assembled!
They may win the award for worst designed flat pack I’ve ever experienced. Multiple screws with a hex fitting recessed into the wood so you can’t get tools into them and can only turn a hex key less than a quarter turn before having to reposition. Plus a couple of instructions that were physically impossible. I had to make a few alterations to make it possible to get them together, but I think they are done solidly enough. The quality of the actual components is good and I like the overall design, but actually putting them together was definitely not something I’d want to repeat.
I don’t mind those. Do they come in black? where might I find them?
It’s the Rome bedside table from B2C Furniture. It does not come in black, but the Paris bedside table does.
Thank you
This week can kick rocks
I concur
It’s been a series of bullshit and strange attitudes.
Full moon or EOFY?
Early night tonight. Goodnight all ❤️
Night night!
I opened the ceiling hatch! There are neither dead bodies nor an 80s porn stash.
You have about half a meter cubic. Bets on.
These are affectionately known as demon doors in my household
There is a mysterious wooden box, it might hold a demon
Read The Tibetan Box by Elizabeth Walters or The Crate by Stephen King before approaching it
It’s official!
I haven’t slept more than 3 hours in a row for a year.
🎉 :(
That can’t be good for your health.
That’s treatment resistant insomnia.
I don’t want to be one of those people, but have you tried sleep restriction? I’m not sure if it’s cognitive or biological or a mix of both in your case, but what about CBT-I?
I’m pretty sure it’s because of my anti depressant. But I can’t mess around with it for another few weeks due to all the other stuff that’s happening.
I’ve got a referal to a sleep clinic which I’ll attend next week.
But cheers for the suggestion, I’ll look into it :)
Yay sleep clinic! Good luck, it will get better :)
Do you get enough hours in total?
I get around 7. But I’m in bed for 10 which really sucks.
Damn that’s rough 😕 What have you done to try and fix it?
Everything except valium which I refuse to touch.
Yeah fair enough. CBD worked well for one of my friends but it’s not for everyone. For me a combination of exercise, meditation and reading before bed has helped. Hopefully you find a solution.
Melbcat seems okay. I’m waiting to see if the latest issue resolves but she’s got a good appetite, is washing herself, and got up to curiously follow a visitor around. She doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable or have pain.
She keeps giving me the biggest fright 😅
porridge eaten, dog walked, two loads of washing on the line drying, cat cuddles underway. Today is going fairly well. Except for my grinder dying (with a minor smell of electrical burning just to be dramatic). I shall have to order a new one.
Edit: I have now ordered a new one.
shells i got yesterday
these are Pacific Ocean shells, they are big, but then the bigger ones are more likely to survive the rocky shore and waves intact
one of them is just a piece of a tun shell ( these are usually very big ) but I often pick up pieces just to know what kind of shells are around
Shells pretty
Aren’t they. 😊 And often the animal is just as beautiful ,
They’re so pretty! What lovely souvenirs of your time with the Young Seagoons.
We are going on a big trip to the main shell beach 40 minutes away tomorrow, it’s post storm, collecting should be awesome
I am hoping to get some really big and fresh specimens 😃
That was actually a really uplifting and lovely psych session?! Yay! ☺️ I might not even need to see her for a while even though I’m still undecided as to whether I should terminate my lease and dump all my stuff in storage, or just pay rent until I get back. Leaving my stuff here is much, much easier, but I don’t want to be in the same rut. A lot hinges on whether I can trust myself to courageously move towards change if I come back to the same place.
I can feel a decision bubbling up though. And other ways in which to address that yearning for a powerful driver of change
That’s a good thing. 😊
Today was AWESOME, met so many familiar and wonderful faces at this event and really recharged, invigorated by the presentations and this glorious sun has really perked me up as well. Wrapped up early and probably not working tomorrow, but I’ll have at least earned some extra dough this week and have a bit more breathing space to catch up on life stuff. I might even look up what’s on this weekend. But for the next couple of hours, it’s journalling time before the psych
So glad you had a good day o day and you got paid for it too!
For sure! Although I would’ve liked to work a bit tomorrow and pile up the cash, I’m also grateful to have an actual weekday breather - last week I worked a full day on the day I submitted my assignment, and it’s been full days this week too. Tomorrow I can take my time to chill out at a park or head out somewhere nice without too many crowds. Start reconnecting to who the hell I am outside of work and study
The old manager tried to take a swipe at me again today.
Mate, just fuck off lol
wow
Can’t let it go can he?
Man that sucks.
I fucked him right back and it was glorious hahaha
I suspect all these swipes and the drama is just a distraction from general incompetence and possible illegal actions.
Now that sounds awesome.
Took today off, just needed it. Did a little bit of shopping (looking for new gym shoes if anyone has any recs), had a yum lunch and a long swim. Twas lovely.
This is how close I can get atm.
That tabby likes you! They’re marking you!
yup, that’s a cat tail cuddle
Melbcat ‘monkey tails’ me and people she likes by wrapping it around us, it’s her version of a hug.
I know when she’s sick because along with the other body language she sometimes ‘hugs’ herself with her tail to self soothe.
Omg. It looks like you’re getting a tail hug. (Cats wrapping their tail around someone is a sign of affection)
Ooohh progress!
