    Moving into a role where I have an ✨ office ✨ - it’s a warehouse office, so no glamourous view or anything, although I have demanded a heater. I want to decorate it, anyone got some fun suggestions?

    Quite the gherked up day with one kid still at home and the girlfriend out at appointments. My manager asked if I could try working from home days like this to still get things done instead of taking leave. Okay, a lot of time with a clamp on the TAB key but at least I didn’t have to take a day off I guess

    So for the past week, the grease trap in the dumpster room has backed up. Started slightly flood the dumpster room with old grease from the commercial property downstairs.

    They reckon it hasn’t been cleaned out properly for years, and the poor new lease holders (a cafe) weren’t even aware of it as it wasn’t mentioned on their lease. They apologised anyway, and this morning have gotten a company to clean it.

    I don’t think I’ve ever smelled anything so fucking rancid. Fucking hell it’s foul af. Like bin juice but rotten.

    What a lovely way to wake up.

          Boyo did a short run at a fish based fertiliser plant. They stripped to jocks on the porch and threw out their pants every week. Glad I wasn’t around for that!!

      I recently had a liquid waste truck come to take away a vat that I nicknamed my witches brew - it was a 700L vat made up of expired wine making additives. I nearly vomited several times making up the vat (over the course of 1 day - it initially sounded fun but I realised very quickly how awful it would be, like extremely expired kombucha), but when that truck showed up and opened it’s valves to start pumping… oh my god, I will never forget it. It got into every space in the building for days. The gentleman operating the truck was so lovely, I felt so awful that I literally RAN away dry retching. Vomited half way down the warehouse.

    Returning after a trip to cairns. I… am thinking of moving somewhere warmer.

    Can’t really handle Melb winters.

    Terrible nights sleep. Kept waking up, because I couldn’t get comfortable. In the bed I sleep in every night? it makes no sense. Grumpy day ahead.

    Half way through the Le Carre biography.

    I am totally shocked John/David lacked self confidence and allowed his frenemy James to make him feel bad about his own life, as if he was a do nothing who was too frightened to live.

    Why do people think that “quiet” lives , ie lives with no drama, are not living.

    How does this insightful ex spy who specialised in profiling and interviewing end up believing a frenemy that being a sexist liar and betrayer is living and anything and everything else is not living and weak

    Luckily the influence didn’t greatly interfere with his work discipline.
