Yay, pick up the keys to the new unit today.
10Did I just spend over 5 solid hours in the same position on the couch trying to solve a question on a Stack Exchange website? (for a grand total of 2 internet points because most of the userbase isn't online at this time)
...really better go and have a walk now geez.
10Nonsense drama on my street today. Tomorrow is bin day, some residents have rolled out their green waste bin, whilst others (myself included as it's the correct one) rolled out the recycling bin.
One neighbour asked me how I knew (checked the council website to verify) and quickly corrected his mistake.
The neighbour that had a blue with his missus rolled out his green one and gave me a very patronizing smirk.
When my bin gets emptied I'm going to wait until he's outside to roll mine in. Debating whether to blow him a kiss or just wave enthusiastically.
10Work has been busy from the get go this year. Isn't the first week back in January supposed to be cruisey?
I've got a meeting for a new contractor position on Thursday where the $$ earning potential is very good so fingers crossed that goes well. I've got another business on the hook that wants to sign me up as well. Between them, I think I could make a decent enough living (with the added flexibility) so I can escape my hellhole workplace ASAP. This is the place that asked me to voluntarily leave last year. Coming back to it in the new year has been rougher than expected. I'm not invested in this job at all anymore, and faking/forcing it while waiting for the perfect role is super exhausting. I need out.
9I've been awake since like 2:30am and can't get back to sleep.. but the plus side of that is that I got to see the underside of the Sydney Harbour Bridge about 25 minutes ago. Pretty keen to get off the ship and on the road apparently. I'm glad I went to bed relatively early!
Still won't be able to disembark for 2 hours due to the customs staff not being at the terminal until 6:30am.. which is ok because the car hire place doesn't open until 7:30am.
Hurry up, time!
9About to begin building a new 'puter.
Old main workhorse desktop just decided to kick the bucket. 13yrs it lasted me! We had our ups and downs but now that it's finally gone it won't get jeaslous of the new one.
But reading up on the way to go for the next build... jeez things have moved on. Thankfully I don't need a gfx card those prices are stupid.
I will try and resurrect ol' mate one or two more times but after that it's going in the 'puter graveyard :(
7I wish something encouraging would happen. Everything is just a slog
5So I seem to have discovered why fans usually have a mesh over the intake (beyond trying to save peoples fingeys). My Big W heater I got doesn't have one, and because I run it as a fan most days, a lot of dust has gotten inside and all collected on the heater wire thingo. Fast forward to today when I tried to turn it on and it starts smoking (I was curious how much power it draws (bought a smart plug), not cold, before anyone asks).
And because of a combination of Big W hating repairability and not wanting to get sued cause some kid got burnt and electrocuted from touching the heating element, I can't really take the back case off to clean it out... They used a star style screw that's very deeply recessed and has uneven spacing, and appear to have melted these plastic tab things in place so I'll both fuck up the backplate and void my warranty for trying to make it not catch fire
God damn it Big W
5Nice to have a quiet day . :)

25.20 for a small coffee. Also a dollar extra for oat milk? Taking the absolute piss.
1Folks walking around in hoodies and tracksuits. WTF is wrong with you? You must have medical conditions because it's certainly not cold.
