If anybody's ever thought I'm giving the McPeake people a hard time and shouldn't call them incompetent reject tradies:
That wood at the bottom had rotted out, so he came to 'fix' it by putting a triangular piece of wood there. He put a fucking nail through the window.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WAS HERE! HE CAME AND "FIXED" THE WINDOW WITHOUT TELLING ME!! THEN HE RAN AWAY AFTER BREAKING THE WINDOW!!!! (I have it on camera, it was 100% without a doubt him!)
โฆif I ever doubt my intelligence Iโll just think of old mate here

Oh, I should also add that this fuckwit turned up in a T-shirt that said "Hate to brag, but I'm pure blooded [obnoxious winky face]". I don't know if I'm looking too far into it, but the only 2 contexts I am aware of a bogan sounding, white aussie bloke saying or wearing anything along those lines are either anti-vaxxers ("pure" because they're unvaccinated), or racists ("pure" because they're white). He was just generally a dropkick as well, so I don't have high hopes he didn't genuinely rock up wearing a racist shirt
(and even if there's another, more innocent meaning to it, wearing something like that to work seems very risky. That's a phrase usually used in reference to race, and I feel like you have a responsibility to not wear anything people may find offensive to work, even if that isn't your intention.)

I've run out of the medication I need to function and it was the last repeat.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Have tried ringing the private hospital where my doctor works from but they can only send him a message.
Fuck.
If you've a regular pharmacist I've heard they can prescribe you a few days worth to tide you over until the doc sorts a repeat out.
I tried that but because it's a stimulant there's really tight regulations around it.
Hi fellow ADHD person, you'll be fine it'll just be a bad day, it's not the end of the world. Coffee can help, but I know you'll need insane quantities to make that work and it'll write off your Monday. So today can be just a "nothing" day for you, go do your hyper focus pleasurable activities / have fun, and you must sort the meds first thing tomorrow.

Been ages since I had alcohol, and I can feel every cell of my body hates me.
LPT: Do not add 2tbps of "Da' Bomb Beyond Insanity" to a single fajita. My anus is currently trying to leave me to be with a better person.
Oh lordy
I've tried praying and it hasn't helped. Should I listen to Lorde? Will that help?

Iโm making friends with the maggies that come here, letting them see my face and dropping a few little treats.
Sometimes I throw a few pieces of high quality dry cat food (nutritionally complete, high protein and grain free). I had some dried mealworms but unsure where they are. Today I threw some small whole dried fish.
I donโt give bread or mince, being aware of calcium deficiencies or food getting stuck on beaks. And I donโt give it frequently or in excessive quantities

Urgh mouth tastes like stale gin...
I know it's very Melbourne-centric of me, but Grand Final week just isn't the same with two interstate teams. Even if we call them South Melbourne and Fitzroy.
Agree! I'll still have the g&t and the little boys out but it's not the same. I'm calling it the AFL state of origin match.

I'm not a fan for how early the sun is coming up lately.
I think we need to readjust things a bit to fix that. I propose we all adjust our clocks so that sunrise is an hour later in the day. Who's with me?
Just about everyone except Qld. How about we start this on 6th October? That gives us time to adjust the curtains so they don't fade.

Love a manufacturing process video on YouTube sometimes.
Just watched one where the "QC PASSED" sticker went on the appliance before it was even fully assembled. Gotta love it.
Is it possibly to surgically remove the neighbours?
Four hours and counting of their bullshit

Okay. Iโm up. I even have coffee on the go.
Jesus motherfuck
I'm in dark mood tonight. Life lately seems to be all about money and worrying about and trying to hang on to it. And part of me thinks it really doesn't seem worth it.

Who wants what from aldi? Leaving in 15m so be quick
Edit: orders closed
An 8 foot skeleton, a fridge, and a beer Iโve never heard of before
I once tried Aldi's version of Pure Blonde called Natural Blonde and it was not good. Instead of tipping the rest down the sink I used it as a rinse for my hair.
You can use it to trap snails, too
(Just donโt use your OHโs fave Cascade, it makes them grumpy)

If anyone wants weed meet you in the maccas carpark at 10pm. Usual rate is $240 but today it's -$240 an oz I'll also throw in some Callistemon that fell down in the recent windy.
Dragging that fucker that fell over the neighbours' fence required patience.
You're also welcome to the upside down bucket.

There are, for me, 4 types of playing guitar:
- I want to try to write and record something
- I want to try some new ideas
- I'm just fucking around
- I need to create the sonic equivalent of smashing my head against a brick wall until the wall breaks.
Tonight was number 4. And it also generally lines up with "I need to get some shit out of my system".

Window fixed, or rather, secured
He initially just put some cardboard and duct tape over it, but then noticed some more major cracks running up the window so suggested that he could board it up as it might be a few weeks until a glazier comes to replace it.
I called emergency maintenance, because it does qualify as an emergency repair (even though he came to "fix" it on Wednesday and I just didn't notice...). And the bloke who fixed it was from... Drumroll... McPeake!
He was actually pretty chill though, called the bloke an idiot, and said that he absolutely should not have even come to "fix" it without notifying anyone. Technically he did notify me, he said on Tuesday he'd come by the next day to fix it. But he still should've knocked, and he absolutely should not have just tried to do a runner after breaking the window. Tosser.
Unreal. Itโs amazing what people think is okay.
What a great night!
Have a great day everyone โค๏ธ
