    I walked into an RSEA and they’re selling Helly Hanson work pants 5 for $150. That’s a week’s worth of pants for $30 each, that’s $15 per pant.

    Having a good mate ghost me means I have to scrounge for references, BUT I got an email from the company asking for them so that’s a great sign!

    Here’s hoping the references I gave glaze me up 😂

    Had the kind of dreams that elicited the need to just run away and take care of myself today, but here I am at work 😅

    Dear Melbourne, I know we had some sunshine over the weekend, but can I please have some more?

      I hope your day turns around and something really really good happens ❤️

      I’d like to add to your plea. More sunshine, less allergies please Melbourne. My solar energy is depleting fast.

      Ps. This is shit spring cleaning weather btw.

    Went to SILs citizenship ceremony last night at robert blackwood. First time I’ve seen one. Have to say the sound in there was pretty good. God it dragged on though. 350 people. Went on for almost 3 hrs. Naturally lotta bored kids w/ low blood sugar getting shitty.

    I think the weirdest part was a 5 min video spruiking the city of monash. How many kms of cycle paths, how many parks, hospitals etc. etc. Not sure what that was all about.

    No aboriginal flag, just aussie which was odd considering they had a Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung? dude speak for 10 mins and play the didge. They should probably change that.

      My daughter’s graduation is coming up. Fuck knows how many hours of sitting and clapping there’ll be. The best part will be when I get to block school phone numbers, emails and delete Xuno.

        Never heard of xuno til now.

        If that was around when I went through I would’ve been in a little bit of trouble.

          Xuno is a school portal to have safe conversations between students, parents, teachers and admin. This is how safe it is.

          I receive an email to say there’s a message in Xuno for me. I open it up and there’s a note from a teacher.

          Dear parent. Just a quick a note to let you know Polly was a cunt in class today and there was an incident. We have rectified the problem on our end but we would like to handball this on to you now. Feel free to lash the child if need be. Cheers teacher.

          Wait a minute. Who the fuck is Polly? I don’t own a Polly. Oy kid, do you know Polly? She reads the message and informs me she does not.

          2nd email arrives “Please disregard the first email”

          This happened more than once.

            lol. Could work in the kids favour though.

            “Teacher said you did this”.

            “No I didn’t they’ve got it wrong before”

            “True, carry on”.

              True

              I wanna know how flustered the teacher is when they’ve opened my kid’s portal page and her photo, name and year level is there and they’re still writing to me about “Polly”.

              I have sent my kid on missions to find out about the mysterious incidents that I have been notified about then retracted.

                I’ve had to help teachers write up chronicles about students misbehaving in class and the platform they use has the student’s name in giant letters and a photo of the kid. Kinda hard to stuff that up, so Xuno mustn’t be amazing then

    Here’s something else I don’t understand people doing: using the email address provided by their ISP or an Icloud email address.

    I see a lot of email addresses through work and it’s like, “you’re really wedded to bigpond or active8me, huh?” Or it’s like, you didn’t have an email address before getting your iPhone? Apple created you an email address and you decided to go with that now?

    Although realistically these are probably just old people that are getting their emails routed through outlook or the default mail app on their phone and aren’t changing internet providers anytime soon.

      My Mum’s still got a Bigpond address. We’ve been trying to get her off it, which has hopefully been successful as she’s now moved and doesn’t have Telstra internet anymore. Not that Telstra want to maintain the Bigpond addresses either - it’s a legacy system they are still operating only because of old people who refuse to leave!

      The other thing she did was create a joint email for her and my Dad (which I don’t think he ever would have looked at himself anyway, but his name was in the address). I guess that’s a transfer from how landlines would be for a household and not an individual and the email address was looked at the same way.

      Then there’s me, with lots of email addresses for different things (especially banking and secure things, they get a unique email that is used nowhere else). Plus most business dealings I create an alias address, so if the business leaks it I can tell exactly where it came from.

    Everything is so quiet at my place today. They are doing some sort of drainage works behind me, which means the main road has been blocked off and will be for about a month. All of the normal traffic in and out of the estate is not there, which is more noticeable than I expected.

    Once everyone six months or so I get a craving for McDonald’s. Today was one of those days. I stopped by on the way home from work and got myself a quarter pounder with bacon, lettuce, tomato and McChicken sauce (just the burger). Not bad at all. Would try again – in six months or so.
