    I had mentally allowed myself two days for looking at cars. As it only took a couple of hours I now have a lot of unexpectedly open time to fill. I might do an op shop run and try to finish off my couch.

    Does anyone else write off stupidly large amounts of time to do things that are not actually that time consuming? I seem to do it all the time, which often means I put off things because I “don’t have enough time” and then when I do get them done end up with lots of extra free time.

      Drive to the op shop to familliarise yourself with the car some more? Do you have it have it already?

        It’s coming on Thursday. It will actually make it a lot easier to do op shop drop offs now, tons of room and much easier access! But I’ve got a few boxes of things I’m tripping over that I’d just like out of the way so I’ll do it today anyway.

        First visit with the new car is going to be the auto electrician to organise a reversing camera - it has sensors, but the visibility at the back is not great and I’d much prefer to add a camera in. Fingers crossed they can install without replacing the head unit, but it depends on which specific unit was installed in the car and they won’t know until they can look at it. I am a bit nervous about manouvering in it, after 19 years in the one car the change is going to be hard.

          I love my reversing camera and Fresnel lens in my van. Visibility max. The rear windows look nice and tinted already which is nice.

          Edit: Consider a front/rear dash cam while you’ve got the auto-elec opening things up. Viofo A129 duo pro is nice and cheap.

      I’m the opposite. I put things off, especially unpleasant tasks, but severely overestimate what I can get done in a timeframe. (I don’t really believe it, I just like to convince myself I will do it later to feel less guilty about procrastinating). Then mad panic ensues. I need to find a way of doing unpleasant tasks.

      But more importantly, congratulations on the car! And yay for having spare time to do other fun stuff!

        I only tend to do that for uni assignments - sure I can write up 5000 words after work on the day it’s due!!

        I pick up the car on Thursday. I’m going to add clearing out the small shed I have at the end of the carport and putting it onto Marketplace, I’ll have an extra 13cm of car to fit in and need that space back so the new vehicle doesn’t have her butt hanging out 🤣

    Shameless thought following GoonSea. I have these shot/aperitif glasses I’m trying to fill a set of. On the assumption there should be 6, a green ought exist? Not sure the other. Anyone spots them I’d love a heads up 😺 4 harlequin glasses

    Stopped in at NQR while I was out. I am about to find out whether cheese and bacon filled potato cakes are a good idea of a travesty that should never have been allowed to exist.

    Mum got the Liberal Party’s postal vote application form in the mail.

    “You can apply for a postal vote with this form,”

    Goddamit

    I worked such long days this week that I didn’t even need to take any leave last week despite not working 2 out of 3 days 🙃 that’s good though, gotta bank up that leave for upcoming uni stressout sessions.

    More Project Hail Mary tonight. Only about 15% of the way in but this is a v entertaining read!

    Wow okay, so I’ve been watching yt (just trash stuff), and the political campaign ads for the election have started cropping up.

    There’s one that I always skip, that feels like utter fear mongering - it seems to just focus on how awful the greens are, talking about inheritance tax and migration and alleged sexual abuse survivors talking about their time in the greens party (alleged of course, because I haven’t seen much news about sex abuse in the greens party, just the liberal party lol). But because I always skipped it, I didn’t know who was sponsoring it… It’s Advance Australia party 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

    Of course they don’t talk about their OWN policies, of course it’s all about how “terrible” and “scary” the greens are 🙄🙄

    I rolled my eyes so hard I’ve sent them into orbit. At least the ads for the greens and for labor talk about THEIR OWN policies. Of course a racist bullshit party can only drag other parties through the mud and never have the courage to lay out their own agendas.

    Fuck I hate the right.

    My brain is fried. One more to go and things can slow down a tiny bit.

    Also, I’m so fucking sick of pharmacists treating me like dirt because of what’s on my safe script.

    What’s the point of being in healthcare if you’re going to be judgemental about what medication people take?

    Same issue with nurses. I guess everyone needs someone to look down on.

    Fucking scumbags.

      Just pure racism and classism at its finest. You’re on a ‘controversial’ medication and aren’t a white man. That’s it, that’s all it is. I want to slap every healthcare worker (drs, nurses, pharmacists, mental health worker) who hold those views. It’s fucking gross and I’m so angry on your behalf. Fuck.

      I’m sorry man, your needs are LEGITIMATE and the problem only lies with those judgy cunts.

      I’ve had some amazing experiences with nurses and some downright horrible ones that shouldn’t even be working in the industry.

      The least they could do is be professional and keep their thoughts to themselves but some just can’t help themselves.

      I’m sorry you had to go through that. It’s never nice.
