It’s Friday, the day before the weekend and there will be some Sun!

    It kinda feels like the old DT of reddit sans reddit. Kinda feels like home away from home and it’s you guys who are helping. I’m glad I decided to join this place after all. Feeling happy and slightly teary? You all are good eggs in my book

    The firing of the employee went down earlier today.

    They decided to turn it into a resignation to save face.

    Had to step in to prevent it turning into an argument with their manager, but handled it well.

    The employee thanked me for my professionalism when I walked them to their car, and they hugged me goodbye.

    So glad I held a debriefing with their team afterward. It honestly helps me as much as it helps them.

    Still feeling a bit from it. So my self care starts now with a curried cauliflower pie from Country Cob

        All things considered for sure. Would have preferred a million other different ways to wrap up the week, but ending a tough situation with a hug ain’t too bad

      Speaking of Country Cob, their vanilla slices are amazing! I’ve tried a few of their pies and wasn’t very impressed though, especially for the price.

        Can’t speak for their meat ones, but the vegetarian ones are great.

        I think it’s more that it’s a treat to have a place offer more than a bland token vegetable pastie

          That’s true. Curried cauliflower sounds pretty good.

    Ok I’m just gonna say it. Ok I’ll just whisper… I miss reddit, this doesn’t feel the same. Strangely, I also feel ghosted? Melbourne reddit gone without a trace. The other city subs are back, but Melbourne still in lockdown (and there wasn’t even a press conference.) It is a good space here, but I don’t know I am nostalgic I guess.

    Mr. Omoikiri’s turn to pick the movie tonight. We’re watching 13 Lives, the movie about the rescue of the Thai boys in the cave.

    Honestly the most fucked up thing. It’s such a feat of humanity and whatever other higher power there is that they all made it out alive and there was only one casualty in the whole operation.

    Also no mention of Musk’s submarine, which is a plus. 👍

    Errands completed. Now time to find food. I hungy. Haven’t eaten since late breakfast and hopefully 10 mins walk then home before it’s gets cold

    Dinner was pita bread spread with cream cheese, smoked salmon and pickles, rolled and sliced into pinwheels. With a glass (or three) of vino. Dessert was peppermint aero. Will do nutrition tomorrow, I promise.

    Got homemade burger night down to a tee… The key you see, it’s lots of pickles, mayonnaise, bbq sauce and chilli sauce.

    I try my best to be “fuck Nestlé” but they’ve brought out an orange Aero and it’s pretty good 😭

    What a clusterfuck of a week. Desperate times call for desperate measures so I’m finishing off this already-opened bottle of wine that’s been sitting in my kitchen since last weekend. In the words of Bernard Black - “the older the wine is…the gooder it is…”

    I went into an Asian store in Airport West yesterday and spent way too much money on shit I can’t even read. I have come to the conclusion I think I really like Fanta, I think? I got like 5 Fanta products I’ve never seen before

    Also, this green Thai “mixed fruit” Fanta actually tastes pretty decent. Pic for the curious:

        I think so, I honestly wasn’t paying much attention, just thought the shop looked cool, so went in and had a look. It appeared on my statement as “Oceania Premium Retail” so possibly. It was near the food court

          That’s the one! I recently discovered that shop too and go there fortnightly to treat myself after doing my groceries, their prices are decent 😊
