I look at some children, then I look at their parents and I think to myself you poor bastards you never had a chance.
Seeing perfectly happy and innocent kids be themselves and seeing their drongo dead shit parents kills me inside.
We have tests for driver's licenses, we should have tests for people becoming parents.
Got an aunt who works in childcare, she says the EXACT same thing.
I've got mates who cause of their unresolved issues are fucking up their kids, so they decided to have another kid. Like. um... what?! how about NO guys.

thank you. We're doing our best but he is a handful. π€£
It really breaks my heart when I see this. I once saw a woman aggressively screech βshut up you cntsβ to her two toddlers crying in a supermarket. Seriously what chance do these kids have? When youth crime is committed, people often comment βwhere are the parentsβ. Well the parents are deadshits who donβt care and were probably doing the same thing when they were kids. We canβt expect these kids will get help from their families, but no other options for βparentingβ are available other than foster care. All you can do is hope that against the odds, as adults they are able to overcome the shitty birth lottery they got, and start a normal life. The ones who succeed are truly amazing.

I took about 5 years worth of e-waste to the tip. And then bought myself a cherry pie to celebrate a tiny bit of adulting.
It's so nice working for a normal company. Internal is such a better deal.
Goodnight everyone β€οΈ
I'm coming to a very sobering realisation that my mind really isn't as capable as it was five years ago, it's taking a lot more effort to understand academic journal articles and new concepts than it used to. I spend so much energy on maintenance tasks and quelling anxiety, that there isn't much left for novel/challenging thinking outside of a conversational context
understand academic journal articles
I'm not reading the room quite correctly but I just forgot why I went to the fridge.. twice... so I believe in you :)
I took my washing off the line and took my letterbox key with me.
I don't have a banging social life or much physical capacity, so I'd always relied on my brains as something to be proud of but even that's going downhill too :(
I'd accept it if I was more capable of ripping out 10 metre long retaining walls and growing bushels of vegetables ...at this stage in life I feel like I've dumbed myself down to a pencil pushing automaton. I guess I can still change that just that it'll take more effort than imagined.

A packet of twisties is forthcoming to my stomach. A mighty fine appetiser lol
Study day, discovered I've filled most of my assessments as we've been going. I'd forgotten I'd done that. So my homework is already done. Just watching some YT vids of vets showing safe practices to handle various animals, and animal behaviour.
Every day I am grateful to be doing this for myself.
I wish I was that organised! Although I have done more than I thought but it still is like pulling teeth.

Hooray survived the 8 day outta date cheese kransky from last night. Flying a bit close to the sun. It did burn the roof of my mouth though but it was delicious so only a small price to pay.
Lucky duck.... I throw everything out once it goes past it's use by (non refiregrated best befores usually stay until I realise it's just been sitting there for ages and I'm not going to use it). I'm traumatised from all the food poisonings I seem to suffer a couple of times a year
I'm so traumatised in fact, that I quite often burn things out of fear they might not be properly cooked. Then I eat at a dodgy place in Footscray market and get food poisoning the next day βΉοΈ
Okay so I think it was someone in here who recommended Potato Utopia chips and I've diligently waited and they're almost at half price this week... time to try it out tomorrow night I reckon.
I really want a hot dog for some reason. Not even a nice one. I just want whatever low tier fake processed rejected scrap meat cylinder things they have at Wendy's

Another day another data compromise. This time itβs the Shebah ride share. At this point any business using name address and dob to verify a person is not good enough security.
I use random passwords for everything so Iβm not worried about the password getting out.

such a beautiful day, seems a shame to stay inside so I'll go for a walk in the park. :)
Nothing but keyboard clicks and a loudly ticking clock. This office is so depressing.
better than that monster who was playing music off a Bluetooth speaker the other week. Hopefully it means HR have taken them up to the 25th floor and pulled a Russia on them.

Iβd like that compared to everyone wearing headphones and being in random teams meetings all day. Canβt concentrate. Have to wear headphones and play music louder than Iβd like.
Each to their own I guess, I much prefer a quiet office.
We have a visitor here once every week or so who is one of those people that seems to think silence is a bad thing to be avoided, so it's -endless- chatter, it's a nightmare when I'm trying to concentrate.
The odd bit of conversation is fine, but he seems to be deeply offended by silence and it drives us nuts!

Anyone here been to Basement Comedy Club? I've got tickets for there tomorrow night, but do they pack people in like sardines?
I think I accept that I'm too worried to go - I'm flying to NZ on Sunday and am doing loads of limit my chances of becoming sick before this holiday. So... does anyone want 2 x tickets to Andrew Hamilton (from YeahMad) tomorrow night?
I had a dream last night that I got lost whilst driving, and didn't brake hard enough at a red light. Went through the light and there was a beep that sounded like an e-tag.
Then I had a dream about being surrounded by grapefruits and not being able to get up. I think this is related to the pregnancy and fetal development subject I'm doing at uni.
Truly thank you, Belsomra I took a few days ago!

Flat clean. Now to make a mess
are you my toddler? "dad just washed the floors? Time to rub a crumbly biscuit all over them!" "Hello chicken I liked yesterday? Have you and the ground met before?"

I really like the way all the climbers from different countries stand at the bottom of the lead wall talking to each other and swapping notes on how to tackle it.

Bit of an odd one tonight for dinner. Zucchini slice and banana bread with custard.
It does feel good to use up dodgy fruit and veg though.

The free food market was extra quick today. I told Mr Woof I'd be out for about an hour, but they started a bit early and I drew third place in line so I was back home in 20 mins! As well as the standard mix of fruit & veg I got some sausages and halloumi, plus a loaf of fruit bread.
