Sunday. 25th. Backdated. Long story.
Evening. After not turning on the heater this morning because it was 17C, it was getting colder in the evening so I went to turn it on. Except the control panel was blank. No power. Sigh. I bet even if we get someone to look at it, they won't fix it rather than can't fix it. I'm sure they'll be like, eh, dead, too bad so sad bye bye. Stu cooked miso mushrooms for dinner which were very nice. Then watched Twister.
Monday. Slept ok. Migration work at work. At lunch I put on osso buco to cook for dinner. Made up some creamy polenta to go with it.
Tuesday. Up twice in the middle of the night checking on a big bunch of migrations. It was a bigger batch than we'd ever done before and they took too long and ran over backup time, causing everything to grind to a halt, and we had to cancel and redo most of them. Blog dramas begin.
Wednesday. Went to bed early and slept relatively well. Blog dramas continue.
Not only that but I'm getting trash emails from a pharmacy in America (CVS) which some retard called Rose has signed up for using MY email address. The problem is I can't access any of the site to complain about it because "CVS.com® is not available to customers or patients who are located outside of the United States or U.S. territories. We apologize for any inconvenience." I raged to them on Twitter. They responded by asking my name. I told them and raged some more and of course they're ignoring me because why the hell should they care that they're spamming someone in Australia. Need to get on with a VPN I reckon.
Thursday. Busy day. Blog dramas continue.
Into season 9 of Mash. Watched most of the Netflix documentary "Feminists: What were they thinking?" They talked to lots of women, but each of them only got a couple of lines each because there were so many of them to get through. There was one woman from some archival footage saying they didn't want to be slaves in the home. Great. Except now it's the other way around. Women got their way. They can go to work. But because women work now, they can afford a more expensive house because a couple has two incomes. So house prices went up accordingly. It's now gotten to the point where you can *only* afford a house if the woman is working too. So now women are slaves to working. As well as having to look after the house and family. Feminists: What were you thinking?
Friday. Blog dramas continue. Did some migration work and trying to catch up on tickets and emails. Kiev and carrots for dinner (kiev picked up from Coles on Thursday and a whole bag of carrots that Chris was throwing out cause they were going slimy and so I got them for free). Watched 9 to 5 which Jane Fonda had talked about in the feminists documentary.
Saturday. Slept ok. Quiet day. Photo labelling and house stuff.
Here we go again..
Went for a little drive after work to get petrol, CO2 and visit the lake.
Go away!!
Made a caramel slice, and then pizzas for dinner (the sweetie wanted my pizzas over commercial ones, go figure!).
Watched Mash, then The Door Into Summer, which was a bit confusing in the middle but mostly resolved itself satisfactorily.
Sunday. 1.9.24. Slept ok. Blog dramas continue. More photo labelling and house stuff. Went over to Chris and Geoff's for a raclette lunch. It was eleven years and three months to the day that we last were there. We left it a little late, it really wasn't the weather for raclette. Still pretty awesome though. Went for a walk after lunch which was nice and helped walk off lunch. Not feeling like dinner though!
