Chook has had a bath
He’s looking very fresh and handsome
Hi Chook!
Yay my pay fell out of the cloud finally and into my bank account! 🤸🏼♀️ Thankyou for your kind words this morning guys, it really helped me emotionally!
hugs
I really dislike employers who leave employees hanging. 🤬You’ve done your work. They should pay. It’s not your problem how they do it. And it’s a moral issue too, people have families and bills. You do not know if children will go hungry pr without medical care. It’s just unacceptable.
YASSSSSSSS
That’s great to hear. I hope they fixed the system so it’s always on time now
Woooo!!!
Make it rain
Still haven’t gotten my pay 😕 It’s in the damn cloud somewhere. Had to transfer money out of my kids bank accounts to cover direct debits. I feel deeply ashamed.
That sucks. Your boss knows its late, doesn’t he? Is there anything he can do from the payroll side?
All he knows is the money has gone from his account. There was an industry outage affecting merchant payments to external accounts earlier this week, so it’s been caught up in that somehow.
You’ve got great kids. I’m sure they’ll understand.
I’m sending this out to the cloud - HURRY UP WITH THE FUCKING MOOLAH
I hope this helps. ❤️ 🤞
Thankyou. Listen, cloud, listen!
This is the one time when yelling at clouds is socially acceptable.
There is no shame to be had. You are doing what you have to, and the money will be back in theirs as soon as it hits your account. Its nothing you’ve done and beyond your control.
There’s no shame, it’s keeping the water and lights on that they also use and you’ll pay it back.
I’m wondering if Mr P is contributing to the household expenses. Because now would be a great time
Edit: I found this for emergency help with essentials, fingers crossed your pay comes through soon but if not https://ndh.org.au/debt-solutions/emergency-assistance/
Thankyou!
Yo
Yooooo 🖖
Contemplating veg and tofu stir fry with much noodle for dinner tonight, y/n?
Y
Ditch the tofu for snozzages.
Can confirm snozzages are delicious.
Got any recs?
The butcher in Northcote Plaza has ‘volcano’ sausages that are the absolute bomb! Loaded with chili and fennel seeds, each individual sausage is about golf ball sized. They are AMAZING!
That’s what I had for lunch! Except there was no tofu, not many vegetables, and too much oil! So like the exact same thing basically
Urgh
That’s it pretty much.
Edit:
I’d like to add blergh
Client: Your team are dipshits
The team: this client is fucked in the head
Me: I just want to go home
Who is right?
All of us lol
They both are.
🤣
Hahahaha I am so tired I was posting in yesterdays thread wondering we’re we all were.
Put a fork in me, I’m done.
One day left champ, chin up
I think yesterday’s is still pinned so it’s not just you
Dinner is done.
I made pasta al limone, with fried salmon and a salad with lemon-yoghurt dressing. It was rather tasty. I’ve been trying to do more pasta sauces that are not tomato based, this definitely fits the bill.
Hey I did linguini limone last night too! No protein though.
Yummmm also
Nice, very good presentation. My original plan was to flake the salmon through the pasta, but I decided a flake-as-you-go approach would be simpler.
Yummm
Where breakfast?
That was an especially poor dishwasher cycle.
Felines have forgiven us for visit to the PokeyPlace. Unfortunately TheVoid needs to return for a dental clean
trying to get Ted vaccinated attempt 2 🤞
Vaccination done.
First there was a huge fight for him to take his sedative, he nipped me and chucked up.
At the vet the nurses tried to pat him, even after we said not to. he did not like it. But then they wrapped him up in a towel and gave him his shot near his bum. So success. 🙂 Right now he’s still a bit wobbly and is resting.
So for Ted the past week has been good. He weighed in at 1.25 kg less than a year ago, he’s had his fur trimmed and brushed so no more mats and knots and had his shots. 😻😻😻
Give that man a squeeze tube
What a big week for Ted. A snooze in a sunny spot should now be his only agenda item.
Powerful, courageous ted, definitely needs some treats once he’s recovered!
He’s come so far and done a great job today (as have you). He’s earned a treat and a snooze.
Carn Ted you got this buddy. 🐠
he got it 🏆
Onya Ted
We are also off to the V-E-T today
you have D-O-G
I thought I was too late planting my snow peas and that they would die in the heat before managing to produce anything, but instead I have the first pods on the vine now! I also have the zucchini and squash on the verge of production and some cherry tomatoes at the flowering stage.
Its been the weirdest growing season.
It has been, it makes it hard to tell what is happening because the seasons are weird and what is happening because of my erratic/new gardening.
Oooh, fresh snow peas are so amazing!!
They are also really good as a fresh refrigerator pickle. You can just make up a pickling mixture (about 50/50 vinegar and water, plus some salt, sugar and spices to taste, boiled then cooled) and keep it in the fridge, then add excess snow peas as you get them. Because it’s not cooked they stay crisp and crunch and they last for ages, and you don’t have to have them all available to process at the same time. They work well with a cheese board or just as a snack on their own, or could be cut up to put in salads etc.
I had somehow never thought of this and now I want to do this very, very badly. It sounds amazing! I’m a big pickle fan!
Fire drill successfully run at work. I always haaaate doing it, but it took less than 2 minutes this time but another 2 minutes to write up the report. Helps that I had to give the heads up that it was happening this time.
Coffee coffee coffee
I’ve been sitting at my desk for the last half an hour trying to decide if I want a coffee or an energy drink.
Why not both?
Crap. I went outside to put out extra water because the black cat was there. Looks like a boy? And he was desperately head bunting for affection but also for some reason suddenly hissing. His fur looks sparser than I realised and he’s thinner than he looks.
So I think he might be neglected or stray and also would be too aggressive to easily get in the carrier, with high potential to injure me.
spoiler
I’ve caved and given him some dry food. I didn’t want to encourage him here, but he might possibly need help. Not sure what to do or how to manage this with limited physical resources and transport.
I could try to get a cat trap and wear oven mitts to grab it. But would have to carry him and the cage through the house past my own critter to get him in a pet uber by myself. There’s another spot but I risk catching other cats or having it stolen and it’s hard to monitor.
Edit: Ok the council rents and collects, but also only lets you have it for a week and no weekend cat collection…
