This time seems to come around faster every year (even though logically it doesn’t)

Don’t you hate that feeling when there is something that you ~know~ took place, and you’re ~pretty~ sure of the location, but you’re not ~quite~ sure when, and checking photos for the times you think come up empty?

Little rant: Agreed to meet up with a guy today. Messaged to check if we were still on yesterday, no reply. Of course no reply today, even after agreed time. He of course isn’t put out by this, but I’ve set aside time (and turned down other plans) so my day has been totally wasted. <endrant>

Been going thru the final planning & locking things in for my trip in April. I was going to fly BA LHR-CDG, because naturally I’ll gravitate to plane. Only tonight thought to check Eurostar. Cheaper & shorter door to door trip. Well I guess I’ll be doing that then! 😅

Here’s to 2026 folks! 🥳
Not gonna pretend that things magically change when the year ticks over.
If you had a good 2025, may good fortune continue for you into 2026.
If you had a bad 2025, here’s hoping this provides a good turning point to a better 2026.

Understanding of ancient technology is being lost to time. (Yes I know this is VERY minor & on screen for all of a half second but it stood out to me)

Been binge watching old Jet Lag seasons recently. In S10 Au$tralia I find it deeply amusing that Ben & Adam were shocked that Melbourne had 2 airports. My brothers in Christ, you are from NYC which has 3 (THREE) airports that can be called ‘New York’ airports!

Who could have possibly guessed that a suburban cigarette shop, that also sells Rolex watches of unknown authenticity, would also be selling illicit tobacco?

In the process of going for new job & many getting rejected at shortlisting. So looking at getting some certifications to make me more appealing. Seems I could RPL 60-90% of 4 relevant to my experience Cert IVs. Why don’t more people take advantage of this ‘cheat code’?

Well that was a pretty bad interview today from my point of view. Process not as expected, seeming mismatch of expectations from ad to questions, and things felt off from the start. If anyone was to ask me about jobs in the APS, this is for sure one department that wouldn’t get my recommendation…

Why are people so bad at following _incredibly simple_ instructions? (No context for now but will provide later)

Watching some old Lawful Masses videos & this line hit me & I laughed (I’m not that old yet, but I too would use that word): “When you’re committing a crime you probably shouldn’t be videotaping it. Oh I’m sorry I’m 43 years old. You probably shouldn’t be recording it, live streaming it…”

@josemonkey.com took this one recently that I think could prove slightly challenging (given no businesses around to search on) - but knowing your skills I bet you’ll find it

Gotta wonder what the ACCC would say about this… Woolies promo:“Collect 10x points
on every shop in store or online…” - great you get 10 times the points, right? - T&C:“10x points equals 1 (one) standard Everyday Rewards point and 1 (one) additional Everyday Rewards points” - so only 2x…?

Does anyone have any recommendations for coffee subscription delivery services? Given I go thru enough it seems like it would be a good way to satisfy my need for caffeine. Been looking at the likes of Pablo & Rusty’s, Seven Miles, etc but any suggestions welcome

Currently going through planning for a trip later this year. I’m coming up with some pretty unconventional plans on how to get to/from Europe… I may or may not be crazy 😅

It’s that time again where I have to decide what to do for dinner but have the all too common indecision hitting me. Debating between kebab/pide + chips or pasta + schnitzel… or do I somehow scrape together something at home (kinda low-ish on supplies)… 🤔🤔🤔

If you were my analog watch…that I last wore in 2015 (when Apple Watch replaced it)…and it’s in none of the logical places…and I’ve even checked the less logical places…where would you be?
