Ugh, between still suffering from Saturday’s hayfever, and my cafe being closed (no time to try another one), WFH today is gonna feel like hell.

Sounds like you’re almost there then mate! May your editing be quick and easy!

Woke up roughly two hours before I meant to. Goddamnit Dragon Age just fucking release so I can sleep normally again

All the best mate, sounds like you killed it!

One of my coworkers came in sick. We are so unbelievably busy and have been in a state of crunch for the last month, and I have leave scheduled for Dragon Age and my partner’s birthday in a week.

I will be so sad if I catch the horrible hacking cough she’s got, I booked an expensive restaurant and everything

Been trying to track down info about this because it really rather threw me - in the Northcote area yesterday, there was a whole bunch of laminated signs on posts up and down All Nations. I glanced at one and it looked like antivaxx propaganda, but no one else online has mentioned it. Anyone know what that was?

A word to the wise, as you say you don’t normally buy games - do double check whether your Mac is new enough for the game. I don’t know exactly how specs work on mac, but I would hazard a guess that anything older than, say, 2019, won’t be able to play it.

Ffs, there’s no conspiracy here mate, the game is meeting expectations. The problem is there are a lot of trolls trying to tear it down because trans people are in it, not that the writers are calling out bigots.

Mernda line is down, for those fellow poor bastards who discovered this when they got to the station. Hope your manglement is understanding, mine isn’t

Just me, or is the mobile network in the city kaput? Best I’ve been able to get is H+. Am on Telstra network

Nah, it’s both now. I call the new category Swumbles Empoisoned Jumble

Star Wars. God help you if you actually like The Acolyte or the sequels, they’ll flay you alive while they harass everyone involved in the making of.

Seems they’re starting to, given Dragon Age won’t be using the EA App

Can I just have a fucking break? I put a cat down three weeks ago, and now a dog has fucking cancer?

Can I just get a month where nothing fucking goes wrong?

Orb.

True, I had to choose my degree at some point

You ever feel like you made a wrong turn somewhere, but now you’ve started on a career pathway, have a stupid fuck off hecs debt, can’t afford therapy, and feel like it’s too late to go back? That you’re struggling with your job, don’t have any real reference point as to whether it’s normal, and just kinda wish you had another option?

Today was not a good day.

Put a cat to sleep yesterday. Feel like I’m being a massive fuckoff inconvenience for booking in some annual for the next couple days, yet I know it’ll be worse if I go in.

Not sure what the point of this comment was, but fuck it, sometimes you’ve gotta vent.

Today sucks. Have been feeling crappy all day, and feel like I barely had a break over the weekend. Suddenly I understand the hatred of Mondays.

I agree, force of habit for me to dumb it down a bit because a fucktonne of people get really angry when I suggest that this is a deeply racist country, institutionally speaking. Our very laws were written to keep the Indigenous Australians down, the racism is by design.
