Just had my interview and I think I smashed it! Should find out early next week
Onya mate 🍻
🤞🏻🤞🏻
Fingers crossed 🤞🏾
Crossing all available digits in support.
1 more day and I’ll have been off suboxone for a year.
I’ll save my thoughts till tomorrow.
Edit:
I’ve looked at the stats. Upto 90% of people who stop taking it relapse within 4 weeks and are at increased risk of death.
12% of people remained sober at the 9 month mark.
Fucking sobering.

Yes, sobering. And the fact that you’ve been off it for a year speaks volumes for your courage and self-control. Dam admirable imo.
Thank you :)
I haven’t had cravings for about 8 years so that part was fine. It’s the not being emotionally numb part that was rough
Yeeaaah, the awakening feelings … been there and done that. Not fun. But the worst does pass with the passage of time.
My god, man. You are un fucking stoppable. Holy shit. I am in awe.
That’s really kind of you to say :)
I’ve come to believe that there is no choice but to keep moving forward.
Well done mate.
so many hugs and kudos
change is so very very hard, any change, you have done awesome 👍
Been smoking way less, but still smoking. Funny, buying a pouch from Woolies is ~$100, buying a 20pk of Marlboro reds from my local tobacconist is $18. And if I was less lazy, the one across the road sells them for $15.
Even more reason to quit: Marlboro is made in the USA, so I guess I’m funding not only local crime gangs, but also the USAs desire to bomb all the countries 😬😅
Ah! Smokers warning. Can’t at my place – body corp rules and a cunt neighbour who will report. So heads up.
Few years ago a dude offered me 2 x 50g of champion for $50 at a club thing.
Obv. stolen. had all the australian warnings. Couldn’t pass it up though 😇
I swear by the nicotine spray thingy
That shit gave me horrible acid reflux. Nicotinell patches were the bomb tho.
Caveat: i’m very good at recognising dream states. Which is good because they were wild on those things.
Gave me reflux too! The patches interrupted my sleep too much, I had to take them off before bed
I thought you were meant to take them off for bed.
It depends on how well you tolerate it. There are 24h patches that are recommended because it reduces cravings in the morning/over night.
Ah, okay. I took mine off at night. Damn, just realised it was 13 years ago I quit.
💪💪💪
I tried the patches but no luck. Only caveat of the spray for me is that I get a headache if I use it too much.
I wonder what all the ticket inspectors are doing this month.
maybe helping disabled people and women with prams get on and off public transport s/
or maybe cleaning stations and making them nicer and safer s/
🤣
Two things.
First, Carrot Man has a new carrot, or at least a freshly painted one. Looks very nice.
Second, I just saw a young bloke on an electric scooter with a small fridge on the platform. Not secured with anything resembling an occy strap. Scooting down the hilly bit of Bridge Road. Which is due for resurfacing next weekend. Courage takes many forms.

Correct me if I’m wrong cat people, but if the cat has a tattoo in its ear, it’s been chipped.
Neutered I think. Like my dog.
Ear tatt means neutered. Blue tag means chipped, but that’s dependant on the owner. our boys are chipped but no blue tags .
Dipping in and out of work mailbox on phone to clear out monitoring notifications. Fucking employer has sent me more goddamn emails in my two days of holidays than he has the rest of the year combined.
Cunt is pathological and they are not getting actioned. Get a fucking hobby.
Isn’t there a law that says that employers can’t email employees on time off? It’s called “Right to Disconnect”? https://www.fwc.gov.au/documents/resources/right-to-disconnect-fact-sheet.pdf
He’s sending to work email, not personal.
ok, I thought the law covered those work emails
and I made a mistake, it’s not that they can’t email you, you don’t have to look
so don’t look!
I dip in every other day to clear monitoring emails (iykyk)
Behold mouse trap w/ swivelling bottle with peanut butter on swivelling dowel over a bucket of water with ramp v.2.0.1
Improvements over v1.0

Soap applied to inner walls

Longer ramp with peanut butter.
Worked in Melbs but was after a rat not the mouse that got in.

I’m so invested!
Y’know I jus so happen to be in the business of sellin’ mousetraps. We jus got listed on Bunnings too
This is a magnificent contraption! For washing mice for your new cat.

Ozbargain needs to stop. It’s giving me scotch deals again
That site is dangerous, I’ve learned to limit how often I visit there. I could go a scotch deal though.
It’s meant to help you save money but I end up spending more from being on there. Plus I’m on one bottle of Morris from Rutherglen with another to get through, it’s all Ozbargain’s fault
Black cat angst
I haven’t heard from the rescuer so texted her again, and asked if this guy can be treated outside or needs to be confined. I’m clearing my space and buying a cheap tent to make an easy quarantine zone or keep him to be scanned…
But I’ve also told her I’m not feeling confident in the ringworm treatment and asked if she can start looking for backup foster homes because I’m not sure I’m able to take him. I’m also looking for the owners in any way I can.
It’s a hard one. I care about the cat and don’t fully want to give him up. Torn. Keep flip flopping.
I’m just trying to be responsible and let them know to start looking for a placement now rather than bite off more than I can chew and then suddenly need someone else to take him on short notice. Or just stop caring for him because I can’t.
I wish things were different. 😢
I think I’ll get some cheese cake in advance of tomorrows excitement.
Yes!!!
Whoever reminded me about Moser Roth Madagascan vanilla chocolate from Aldi - my diet this week.does NOT thank you (but my mental health does…yummo)
One of the Customer Service women has brought their daughter into work today. Last time she was in I tried plugging her switch into one of the computer docks to play on one of the monitors. It didn’t work, I don’t know if it’s Nintendo or Dell’s fault but that’s bullshit
You need a switch dock to play on a screen (it comes with one). Splits the power and video signals on the usb-c.
Unless it’s a switch lite, then there’s no additional video out. Just the screen.
I wanted to check if it would work with any USB-C dock. I guess it only works with the switch one. I might mention that about the dock to the mum tomorrow
Ooof be careful. A lot of switches got fried by aftermarket docks back in the day, they use specific voltage and amperage
It straight up didn’t work and she’s brought it in since. It’s more that I could bring something like the Bazztop in and it would just work with any of the docks, but the switch needs its own shit to be able to run. I thought USB-C was meant to be a universal standard
It’s not the usb C per se, it needs the ac adapter (in the dock) to give the gpu enough balls.
Most tv/monitor USB ports don’t run enough voltage / amperage to power it
You’d think a dock that can run a big fat Dell laptop and two monitors could power a Switch, but those docks often have their own processors which could throw things off a bit.
Proprietary as fuck my friend. My dell dock cracks it if i plug my other one in, despite both being USB-C
thank you trump for the bad dreams , not had one of those 4 decades
political science by randy newman seems apt again 😔
IKR?! Its been a big week for realisinv i still have childhood anxiety about (a) challenger space shuttle and (b) nuclear bombs…
Apparently he’s now declared a two week cease fire though so some adult in the room is trying to wrangle him to de-escalate

Good night everyone
sweet dreams 😘
