Just do your best.
This humidity is killing me and can fuck right off!
Agreed. I thought it was just me. I feel bad saying this, but I’m glad it’s not.
not just you, the clouds have made it oppressive
You hate humidity!Why yes, yes I do!
I’m putting a bunch of stuff on a stick and burning it then going for a swim.
This is the most profound thing I’m doing today.
Starting my new job tomorrow!
But they still haven’t informed me of when exactly I’m meant to start my shit. Will have to call in and chase that up after lunch me thinks.
Oh and I started my own community for anyone interested, learning about, or working in early childhood.
Your stomach will know when you need to start shitting.
Haha oops, I must be out of f’s.
That’s so cool you’ve started a new community. You should make a post from !earlychildhood@quokk.au explaining what it’s about (I know pretty self explaining really but you know) and it’ll land on the homepage. If it’s just Melbourne based then post it in !melbourne@aussie.zone. It’ll still end up on the home page.
Good luck with your new job tomorrow!
Something’s not quite right because your community is not showing up in the list of Aussie.zone communities. I’m an idiot when it comes to tech but maybe @Nath@aussie.zone can sort it out because he’s a champion at this.
I think they are running their own instance.
I think you are correct but I didn’t know how to put it into those words. If that’s the case then disregard everything I said.
The community is showing up fine for me. There may have been a little bit of a delay if this is the first time aussie.zone users have looked at Quokk.au communities. First-time federation can take a couple of minutes.
Anyway, it’s fine, now. I didn’t do anything.
Oh ok. It’s not showing up on the list of local communities for me. I don’t know enough about this kind of stuff though.
Ahh - now I see what you mean. It isn’t showing up in local communities because it isn’t a local community. That interpretation of “local” means “local to aussie.zone”, not local to Australia. As the community lives on Quokk.au, it isn’t local as far as Lemmy is concerned.
!melbourne@lemmy.world exists, for example - but it won’t show up on local communities, because it lives on lemmy.world.
Oh I think I get it now. Thank you for clearing that up.
Subscribed. My girlfriend is studying to become an ECT and we have almost a year and a half old twins at home
Wish I had a box with a blanket to chill in…
In this weather? No.
Back from my first day and oh my god I’m SO tired making an 8am start. Despite hitting the snooze button several times and leaving considerably later than I thought. And everyone else starts at 7 😵💫 with plenty of people having longer commutes than me. I’ll get used to it.
I was a bit too out of it today take in everything with it all happening so fast, but it was a good first day. Being at a depot does mean it’s still very testosterone heavy but not my immediate manager which makes a huge difference. My team is really friendly and welcoming and open with each other which is awesome.
I am super glad this is just part time though, I so wouldn’t have the energy for full time hours in such a high contact role. And I’d feel suffocated for sure, no matter how good the workplace was
E: also, hectic wind and humidity out there but… where’s the rain??? 😭 I think that’s adding to the lethargy
got nearly 8 hours of sleep. OH my GOSH its so nice after nearly a week without. I feel amazing!
Oh, please let this be me tonight.
Why is my neighbor out using his leaf blower on a day like this? He’s losing the fight.
Maybe he is feeling angry and this is the outlet ? I’ll mow lawns angrily or whipper snip
HA nothing helps me vent like firing up the 2-stroke hedge trimmer and going to town on the front yard.
And THIS IS NOT A EUPHEMISM you perverts 🤣
there was a Muppet out with his 2 stroke blower yesterday drying his stupid F off sized ranger at 7pm last night. Just rolled my eyes, of course he owned a yank tank.
Oh boy what a douchenozzle.
I feel like it would just make me angrier, it’s so windy so there’s no satisfying clean yard and pile of leaves at the end 😂
Same reason mine is trying to water his trees.
Nothing else to do.
Adelaide tomorrow! Exciting, but it involves planes 🫤
Its bin day in my estate and not a single one is left standing. Fortunately they were already emptied.
Absolutely no rain here…
Starting to lose hope in it
Glad I watered all the plants last night. Got 40 seconds of rain today.
Which means ongoing watering, so back to the watering routine
Yeah, I wish I’d watered my plants because I came back to a wilted sad mess and a couple of potted chillies blown over by the wind
I have not seen any rain at all for days
The garage has been carpet bombed with mouse traps.
Is your dog a mouse hunter? Mine is not, she makes friends with them and even shares her food. When I explain the purpose of the JRT breed to her she wags her tail and gives me a head tilt.
My old dog used to chase them and catch them outside but if they ever came in she would watch them and look at us as if to say ‘this one is your problem’
Hahaha. Nah. I don’t think he’s ever seen one. They’re mainly in the garage.
I found squished kraft processed cheese with bacon bits to be irresistible to mice. Check the traps everyday. I once caught dozens of the buggers in my neighbour’s aviary with this method
Not my jurisdiction. What I can tell you is the traps get washed with soap and loaded up with their own peanut butter. They get checked every day but not by me.
How would you counteract that combo being irresistible to certain humans?
keep the traps away from humans and cats
Interesting. I went into my bathroom and smelt smoke, so I opened up the front door and there’s quite a smokey smell. Nothing on VicEmergency, and I’m not sure who’s got a fire on at the end of a 30° day while it’s still in the 20s
Edit: well I got paranoid so I went for a walk and made sure nothing’s on fire. Am I just smelling the bushfire out near Beaufort? I actually didn’t know that was still going tbh, but I haven’t actually smelt it before
Planned burns
The ones in macedon/wandong? Feels a bit far to smell the smoke
I was smelling it a night or two ago and heard sirens so maybe something happened
Yeh I woke up at 3am and had to close all my windows because of it. Checking now, my particulate matter sensor went crazy then
I saw someone mention somewhere that there was a bunch of planned burns going on
I swear this like the 3rd or 4th year in a row when planned burns occur on the windiest day imaginable. I know that these are scheduled some time in advance, but surely there is some contingency.
Why is it still warm?
If we get a 30 degree day in April I might not bother making additional super contributions
Post art on different platform, nobody’s really that interested. Plus it’d just get scraped by AI. :(
(I know I should be making it for myself but when you’re depressed and everything’s difficult it’s nice to get a little extra motivation or a bit of a boost from others’ enjoyment.)
