Sunday. 23rd. Leftover chicken feast for dinner. DS9 2.1. Recopied all the MOVs I have on my phone with Windows.
Monday. Early night, slept ok. NEIL again - did a bunch of rearranging of mail routes and holding areas to make my life easier. Salmon and salad for dinner, with a creamy lemon dill dressing, although it was very runny because it was cream - next time I'll use yoghurt.
DS9 2.2. I reckon Frank Langella totally looks like Christopher Lee. Google that crap, I'm not the only one that thinks so! Finished culling/adjusting/resizing Adelaide photos. All the photos taken on my new camera are a bit .. muddy .. Will have to check the settings and see what other options there are.
Tuesday. Slept mostly ok. Noticed that Windoze 11 brought back the ability to right click on a directory in the left pane of Explorer and choose New -> Folder (previously you had to right click then Show More Options -> New -> Folder).. That had been pissing me off since day one of using Windoze 11, so that was nice. NEIL again at work, doing more policies for sorting mail. Steak and salad for dinner with creamy garlic mushrooms.
Once again I managed to cook it nicely. I may convince Stu to like steak after all haha. DS9 2.3. Talked to the mother type person. She's doing better, and said they pulled up the security video which showed her fall (she fell right at the entrance to her retirement village) and you could see that it was in fact just simply tripping over a raised bit of concrete, not a blackout, so that was a huge relief! Mum photo picking - from all the weddings we've been to, so that was a bit of fun, lots of looking through photos of our wedding too.
Wednesday. Slept mostly ok. Windoze 11 has recently started randomly moving windows off to my other screen overnight. So I'll turn on my right screen in the morning only to find some of my windows aren't there anymore, they've been shoved off to my secondary monitor on the left. Why is windoze 11 so TRASH?? WHY WHY WHY???? Less time having to be NEIL with my policies in place - less time picking through big mail queues. Dealing with other crap instead heh. Leftover lemon pepper dill chicken for dinner. DS9 2.4. Mum emailed through a video taken on a phone of the security video and yeah you can clearly see her trip rather than pass out.
Thursday. Went to bed at 22:00. Went to sleep at 01:00. Sigh. NEIL again for the day. They're threatening to go back to managed desktops at work, which will be a massive pain in the @$$ because in order to use my own computer (you know, to actually work productively with a proper keyboard and two large screens) I'll need a dock or kvm just to use my own computer. So dumb. Ok drinks, although bartender was late so we were wondering if the bar would even open at all. This cockatoo was hanging around behaving rather strangely. I went over and it was quite tame (even let me hand feed it). Wonder if it was someone's escaped pet.
Pizzas then DS9 2.5.
Friday. Early night and slept well hurray. NEIL again, hopefully the last day for a while!!
Had this miso ramen for lunch - $5.80 for two servings from Daiso. Wasn't too bad. Needed some pork belly though!
Kievs for dinner.
DS9 2.6 then Death in Paradise 14.4 - another ridiculous episode.
Saturday. I knew that because I slept well on Thursday night I'd sleep badly on Friday. Sure enough, awake from ~1:30 to ~4:30 sigh. Zombie morning, pretty much a complete writeoff. Tried to pay tax (last time I tried the site was down for maintenance). Why do they make it so damned HARD?? Why can't they make it like utilities where you get a nice clear bill and details to pay. Tax you're *lucky* to get a cryptic "You have mail in mygov" email (or in my case, the first you hear about it is an sms that it's overddue). Then when you login it's still not even clear what you're paying. Like is this PAYG for this quarter? Next quarter? What? Just make it EASY FFS!! But. All the rain today! Hurray! Blogged my recent trip to Adelaide. The new light I got for the two foot tank looked rather.. dim.. and flickery. I tried replacing the starter (of course I opened up the wrong end first didn't I??) but no luck. Tried another bulb, it seemed ok, and tried the bulb in another fitting, still dim. #grunt. Windoze 11 Notepad sux. If the file you have open is too big (like maybe a couple of hundred KB) it will literally just skip entering keys you've typed. So you have to back and keep reentering them. So dumb. Most likely it's all the spell checking and autocorrection crap. I'm still on the fence whether to give up on it and go back to classic Notepad. I do like the state saving - you can reboot and not lose anything you have open. Handy when Windoze REBOOTS AGAINST YOUR WILL whenever it feels like it. Sausages and salad for dinner then watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Even though we put it on at dinner time it still finished after 21:00. hrmmm.
Sunday. Slept mostly ok. Definitely had a lot more energy today. Although mostly just house stuff, food shopping, returned the fish tank light and got a new one which seems better, cleaning etc.
We're worried Stumpy is dying. He's not been himself the past couple of weeks. Lethargic and not basking. hrmmmm. He is around 18 years old though, and typical age for a blue tongue in captivity is 15-20 years.....
