Just saying the stuff I otherwise wouldn't.
For the first time in my life, I am experiencing sustained and successful weightloss*. It's wonderful, but it's also introduced me to all the weird side effects of weightloss.

Like very itchy skin. And an unrelated rash in my belly button.

*it's metformin and diet, not glp-1s.

Both my family and the in-laws have delayed making Christmas plans til now.

Honestly, I hate it. I want to lock it in in October, but I do recognise that's a bit extra.

Still. If you haven't locked in something by 1 Dec, then I will lock in my own, and now my plans are Not Driving.

Sometimes I feel like I spend a lot of time quietly considering other people who don't even remember I exist when I'm not there.

Have arrived at work to learn someone has taken the key to the shed where all my equipment is, so for the next 4 hours I am in fuck-around mode, and they will pay me for it.

They did approve my Christmas leave though, so there's that.

I miss my mum so much today.

Came here to say something, but then I forgot. Pretend it was funny.

Trying to figure out diabetic-friendly breading for schnitzel.

Option A is pork rinds. Diabetic Reddit swears by it but just, no.

Option B is the diabetic cookbook that recommends wholemeal flour and panko crumbs, which I'm pretty sure are more carby than the wholemeal crumbs we used pre-diabetes.

Love how our CEO *emailed* staff to let them know about the Starlink outage and that they could find a copy of the manual procedures in the staff room 🙄

There's a special kind of torture about being a newly-diagnosed diabetic and reading a novel filled with overly-long, drool-inducing descriptions of food.

Learned my lesson last week and checked my work email tonight ahead of tomorrow morning's scheduled meeting.

It is not, in fact, going ahead either.

These jokers couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. Honestly.

Lady in the chemist with full blown cold/flu symptoms and no mask is the reason I wear a mask in all healthcare settings.

Our GM has an utterly intolerable habit of scheduling all staff meetings for my nap/quiet time, and now I have to figure out the optimal time for a caffeine boost to get through it this afternoon.

People who don't have a hand towel in their bathroom: WHY?! I don't want to dry my hands on the towel you (or your kid) uses after their shower.

Org I'm helping (for free) take 3 months to do The Thing.

They email me and say "yay we did The Thing and now it's time to do Your Part".

But it's been 3 months, I'm busier now. It goes on the to-do list.

7 days after first email "hey, friendly reminder to do Your Part."

Wish I could go back in time and tell myself that the ability to have an argument with someone is an important aspect of a relationship.

Not that I want to fight regularly; but to have heavy important discussions without the other person completely shutting down?

I'd like that.

What passes me off is not that the coalition passed a bill I don't like. They've passed a lot of bills I don't like.

It's the absolute attack on democracy that transpired due to **the way** they passed a bill I don't like.

What is the point of any of it if they can just... do that?

Sometimes the best choice is just to say nothing and let them figure it out on their own.

Peanut butter on toast involves:
*grow grain, harvest it, winnow the seed, dehusk it, grind flour, then bake bread.
*grow peanuts, harvest, deshell, roast and deskin, then grind to a paste.
*milk a lactating cow, skim off the cream, then shake into butter.

And that is a simple meal.

Gee, I wonder why a woman who was given a babysitter in the elected role she won by a landslide; and outperformed every predecessor in living memory at, might want to step back from that job? #nzpol

Ah, the life of a worker bee. A paraphrased email from my (new) boss.

"I don't want to change anything, but here's 2 large projects and 3 things I want to change. There is no budget or additional resources for any of it."

Starting to wonder if my neighbour is just full of bullshit. They straight-up lied to my face in ways that are objectively and (easily) proven untrue.

It's so weird when people do that.
