    Considering starting a local computer club. Had a really good experience running a one-off installfest and thinking there should be IRL options for like-minded geeks to meet up on the regular.

    Got an insurance update which has had me on the phone and chasing documents and getting absolutely no actual work done this afternoon and my care factor is zero. This is even after I was 45 minutes late this morning. Just don’t have anything to give work this week.

    So turns out a brothel is significantly cheaper than seeing a psychologist and they also offer mental health support.

    Highly recommend.

    Lol.

      I was recommended California Club when I asked a friend in the industry on behalf of another friend who is approaching 40yo virgin territory. CaliClub apparently treats their staff well. Asking for the deluxe rather than basic was the other important advice I received. Basic being more of a smash n dash service.

        Thanks for your recommendation, I went to Scarlett and genuinely focused on hugs. Will check them out though ❤️

      Persons who choose to work in said industry (rather than feeling they have no other option) tend to be a caring sort. It’s not at all unusual to pay for just a chat. I’m more concerned you chose this option so quickly rather than talking to your own brain.

        I have severe *AuADHD, and to explain that I means instant gratification is always the right option. I deeply want to and consciously are trying to change that. But in an emergency crisis, gotta do what I know will help me. You get me?

            I’m overly open to change, more than any person you know, and so will genuinely will try anything.What you you do? I have psychologists, I have 2 GPs, I have a lawyer, but hearing from just a random other person feels kind and I respect that

    Benefits of working out more: being comfortable enough squatting on the ground for about 5 minutes to give pats to a gorgeous little old puppy named Stella ❤️

    yay, inspection over! Mr Woof was very concerned and told the real estate agent so, very loudly. Miss Meow is still in hiding somewhere.

    Ordered parts last week to build an ESP bluetooth proxy for brew monitoring, Auspost are doing their damnedest to ensure they don’t arrive until after the long weekend. Pricks.

    Is anyone else getting a giant donate to the lemmy devs now when they view local?

    Hooray tank is filling up.

    Crisis averted.

    Saved a few dollarydoos there.

    Turns out one of the downpipes was solid full of shit (seriously worse than the worst AGB) which for some reason when cleared everything worked.

    Makes no sense but I’ll take it.

          I just found out they have a new carrot line which I’m gonna be all over - got a very tall tank that’s patched about a foot below the roof line right next to the overflow downspout so it was a bit complex working out how to patch everything in. No diversion chamber = problem sooooolved

    ugh, looking for counselling is not easy

    when I was in nyc my doctors had a LOT of experience with victims of terrorism, maybe someone with experience with ptsd and first responders would be fine

    I’m teary and shaky

      Do you have access to an EAP? Converge has specialised first responders and critical event counsellors. Highly recommend Amanda Mitchell.

      Also defence force and police - services might be limited to them, but they might know of a good counsellor outside of their particular field.
