As an Aussie, especially one living in a fairly Country town, it is VERY WEIRD to me that the new announcer for the local train station has a southern American accent.

She's trying SO HARD to hide her drawl though so it is very cute 😅

I think we need to teach more driver safety. In Aus we're rolling out Mobile Phone detection cameras and whilst I hate that they're mostly for revenue raising, I don't hate that they'll hopefully encourage at least some people to get off their damn phones whilst driving.

But I'm learning that it's also okay to do what I want to do even if she doesn't want to.

It's okay to still Do Stuff if she's going to bed. It's okay to be my own person doing my own thing sometimes.

Life is weird, and complex, and way too short.

Do The Things. 🩵

Better. Life with Amy is helping me grow as a person.

I apologised exactly once, and her response was to ask why I was as sorry!

I'm new to being my own person. I'm learning. These last couple months I've been resolving to do More Things.

I love hanging out with her! So much!! +

Where people seem to know each other, at least for some of the bars.

It was also nice to let myself do things alone, without my partner. I'm not used to that, and I'm trying to get better at being my own person.

For several years I've been one half of someone else.

Life with Amy is different.+

Now that I'm committed to being in the hospo scene, I want to be a familiar and friendly face to other hospo workers.

It was really nice. Everyone was lovely, it's a weird scene here 😅 there's the corporate bars and hotels and then there's the independent and cocktail bars +

I went out drinking after work tonight. I've been wanting to integrate more into the local bar scene, as a bartender I feel it's important to know other bartenders.

I forced myself to be extroverted, at least a little bit.

Telling the other bartenders that I'm trying to get to know everyone.

Fuck I love my girlfriend. 🥰 She makes life better, even when it's shit. 🩵

Sometimes I wonder what it means to be loved.

Other times, my girlfriend makes me crumpets at 4am because I've barely eaten and my body is sore from work.

And then I know that I am loved wholly and completely.

It's so dense. The bonus of crocheting a blanket is that now that it's so big, I have a blanket on my lap to keep me warm as I'm crocheting it 🤣

it also takes 1.5 - 2 hours to crochet each skein, so that's *at least* 25 or so hours so far.

I did the Maths on the blanket I'm crocheting.
I counted how many rows I could do with one skein of yarn.

5 rows per skein, give or take.
I counted the rows in the blanket so far. 80.
That's 16 skeins of yarn.

I have seven skeins left, so approximately 30-35 rows left.

Just watched Brave Bang Bravern and uh....What The Fuck Was That 🤣 genuinely recommend if you like Big Robots and Campy Pastels.

This was one of the weirdest things I have ever watched.

I do like me some Big Robots tho. And Big Robots with Big Swords.
10/10 will probably watch again some day.

This is painfully relatable

The more mental illnesses you have, the more you'll know about how brains work, especially if you've done therapy. Similar to how those of us with chronic illnesses have higher base levels of medical knowledge. Especially when we spend time around other mentally/chronically ill folk ❤️

IT FELT RELATED. Is the nanny like schitts creek?? Will I cry??
They mentioned earlier today that the nanny is *not* mindless viewing and is "funny and comedy until it's not" IM SCARED 😅
June 18, 2025 at 7:45 AM
After seeing a few snippets at my sister's house, I am now watching The Nanny for the first time. My housemate and gf are both very excited for this.
My housemate was talking to their mum about schitts creek, and when I looked up they told their mum I was watching the nanny for the first time.

Removing the sump pan in the MR2. Removing the exhaust had to happen first!! It's gonna be one messy job, already been three grease filled hours.

I am one with the grease.
May 26, 2025 at 6:29 AM
Oh hell yeah! I'm glad they had a nice time. 🩷
May 25, 2025 at 8:07 AM
In my mind, I *am* more important than them. Not in the way that I'm ever going to neglect them, or actively go out of my way to shun them. I'm still gonna give good, attentive service, I'm just *also* going to have some water. Or step outside for literally five seconds.
Then come back and serve.
May 24, 2025 at 10:57 AM
It bothers me when other people don't look after themselves when I work with them. Especially when they complain about it. Like bitch, take a damn break. We're not doing life or death shit here. We're a bar. We serve drinks and snacks. That's it.
I prioritise myself and my comfort above customers.
May 24, 2025 at 10:57 AM
It makes me a tired and clumsy colleague to work with, it makes me forgetful. A break gives me the chance to rest and come back invigorated to finish my shift. Or at least slightly less in pain.

It lets me breathe for a moment.

Breaks are important. Taking time to drink water is important.
May 24, 2025 at 10:57 AM
I'm going to go to the bathroom as soon as there's a reasonable half second.
I'm not going to make myself suffer so customers can get drinks.

And I'm damn good at my job. I used to be the tough it out worker who didn't take breaks if I wasn't forced to. But that makes everything worse.
May 24, 2025 at 10:57 AM
I work as a bartender/floor staff, right? I swear I'm the only one of my colleagues who cares more about my damn self than these customers 😅
Not in a derogatory way, just that I'm not going to cause myself undue suffering to get someone's drink ten seconds quicker. I'm going to take ten to hydrate.
