The man turns 50 next week. That's 30 years knowing each other. I say to him "I know you better than you know yourself". He says "that's true".

He has the week off. It's gonna be a blast.

    Someone at work has decided that Wednesdays in the office need jazzing up

    They want to start something called The Hump Day Quiz and are looking for volunteers who want to be (I wish I was making this up) The Humpmaster

    I can't.....

    It is, but the lack of awareness is outstanding.

  • I used to supervise young adults and I got asked by higher up how I had such a great participation rate. "Well when I see them getting restless we'll do 10 mins of quizzes". In reality we spent half the day every day doing quizzes.

    Yesterday I found out Iโ€™d made a mistake with the ato about 3 years ago that will most likely result in a very significant debt.

    It was my fuck up, and I accept that.

    Iโ€™m the one who approached them first, when I realised something was wrong which will work in my favour in a big way.

    But still Iโ€™d be lying if I said I wasnโ€™t really, really worried about the outcome.

    So far theyโ€™ve been pretty good and have asked for more info. The tone of the call with the debt team was surprisingly light and the guy I spoke to said โ€œeveryone makes mistakesโ€.

    But yeah, I have enough shit to deal with right now and this on top is a lot.

    Thanks for listening.

    The ATO will happily work with someone to pay a debt off! They only take legal action if the entity in debt is being obtuse and evading.

    You did the right thing, it will work in your favour, and you will have the option of a payment plan!

    I saw an article about a woman whose game was taken down as part of all this censorship bullshit, so she put it up on her own website as freeware. I think that's where the internet is going to have to head more now.

    I'll download a game for free from somewhere, then I might just make a donation to someone for totally unrelated reasons. And do you think torrent sites will put up age verification? They're already illegal.

    I'm way more inclined to donate towards freeware. Calibre, VLC, WinRAR, WinAmp, uBlock, Firefox. Been using these for years. Happy to throw them a few bucks here and there.

    We've always been a damn nanny state. Instead of addressing societal issues, let's slap a shit-laden bandaid on it.

    There was a debate here for ages about an R rating for games and that's just undone now under the pretence a child could see something somewhere.

    And then the torrent website block. It's only honourary as it's so easy to get around. I don't even visit the actual sites anymore

    Just got a message from the Young Seagoons, they are going to visit Young Master Seagoon's fam in Canada. ๐Ÿ˜ญ This is so good, I've been so sad for him, he's been half homeless ( tho he will always have a home with us ) since covid. That's a long time not to have your own pillow.

    Iโ€™m going to sleep and I can hear magpie warbling in the distance. Thatโ€™s so strange at this hour.

    The running theory, from what I understand, is that with how loud the daytime is, birds have taken to communicating when it's quieter, i.e nighttime

    It's 3.07am and I can hear two magpies warbling to each other.

    soooo if you visited archie bros moorabbin and used their "Get $50 credit for $35" thing check your bank statement

    Fuckers charged me $50. They're double fucked because I kept the receipt. Which says "$35"

    If there was a way to delete sky news remotely from foxtel packages I would love to get my hands on it (it's only my manchild dickhead boorish fucktwat of an uncle who watches it - absolutely nobody other than his wife will genuinely care when he dies). (but sadly I could not time this visit for when he would be away)

    I have finally located my sandwich press, and a few other odds and ends I've been looking for (including the cat food, Miss Meow will be pleased). I think the list of things I'm still looking for now only contains my vacuum food sealer and a bottle of oil. And I'm wondering if I imagined the bottle of oil and had actually used it all and forgotten.

    I think a celebratory parmigiana for dinner might be in order.

    Oh no, had to hand in my PC to a repair tech this morning. Silently died overnight it seems, and I reached my limit of troubleshooting. I suspect PSU is tripping since I get a brief light up and then only baseline power.

    Edit: Yep, PSU failed spontaneously. They'll swap it out for me and give it a clean. Thankfully not something more extreme.
