So lemmy.world has been really slow and unreliable over the last few days. Signing off from this account, and will sign in with a new !aussie.zone account once it’s verified. Way quicker

Just found out I need to provide proof of an agreement I’ve made with my manager, and that he has never responded via email for this particular thing, always just verbal…surprise surprise I still think he is a dick

I’ll tell you what, I’m pretty over this seemingly constant cycle of my kids being sick and needing to stay home from school. Too many people in the house all the time make familycalhoon go crazy!

I think you mean NZ, right?

The Road - Cormac McCarthy. Except I haven’t been able to finish it. I know the story, through watching the film, but the imagery in the book is so much more depressing and powerfully disturbing. When I watched the film I felt it for at least a week afterwards. I was getting that feeling each time I’d go to pick up the book of a night. I really want to read it completely, but I just can’t work myself up to it.

We went down this route, and it’s one of my big regrets. Was AU$2 a tooth and a wish, which started as an easy and cheap soft toy (think a couple of bucks max). But it’s turned into $2/tooth cumulative, ie. Tooth 10 gets $20, tooth 11 gets $22 etc, and a wish… Cue late night runs to Kmart and lots of grumbling about why we are doing this.
