    Back at work after having most of last week off due to family. Spent my time getting ready considering what I could cut back on/do differently in order to reduce life costs if I just happened to trip and quit, issa a vibe!

    Wore heels for the first time in many forevers yesterday. Now have a confused mix of toes that ache and ones I can’t feel properly. Hope this isn’t cause for actual concern.

    Wake was a very fine send off indeed. Don’t think the cafe staff knew what hit them.

      I wore stupidly high heels to my wedding many years ago and could not feel a couple of my toes for weeks. Feeling eventually returned and I still have all my toes, so I guess that means it’s ok?

        These probably don’t even count as heels to many. I’ve never been a spike person, but being out of practice on even such low things seems to matter now.

    Got the phone back! I tried it this morning and it was on the move through Heidelberg. I thought it’s obviously still on the bus! I tracked it through the suburbs until it was near my place and went out to the bus stop, caught that bus and found it wedged down between the seat and the wall! It was so exciting! Hey, I’m a middle aged mum, it’s the most exciting thing I’ve done all year! The bus driver was kind enough to wait at the stop for me to search for it as well. Wonder how often they clean the buses tho…

    I’ve been thinking about the concept of ‘Coworker music’ ever since I watched a video on it. The idea is generic or bad music that coworkers listen to, never yourself of course.

    I’ll have music on at work and ask myself, ‘Could this be considered coworker music?’ I have a specific taste in music so I don’t think it falls into generic coworker music, but when you get into subcategories of ‘a type of guy’ my music definitely falls into a ‘type of coworker’ subgenre.

      This is a new concept to me. I think I get it, but technically my office plays 90% ABC Classic so I feel a bit exempt from this phenomenon. I do feel it when I’ve got in the work car after one of my colleagues has used it and set the dial to triple M tho.

      is co-worker music like that music they play in stores or even like radio stations?

      i would rather listen to the taste of one person than something that is meant to be inoffensive

        I think it’s that sort of music, but someone who genuinely listens to and enjoys that sort of stuff

      Co-worker music has a lot of layers to it.

      Generally I would imagine Triple M and Fox/Nova music would fall into the category. Having worked with younger people that listen to Triple J (like I used to in my 20’s and early 30s), pretty much all the current stuff played there would fall into the same category for me.

      Personally I welcome a new way to judge people 😁

        Where I work it’s the R&B Fridays radio station. Added bonus of doing my head in listening to something that calls itself R&B Fridays on every other day of the week 🤪

        In the video I watched it was the most over produced mainstream pop like Harry Styles. Or they’ll say something like, ‘I was in a dark place and this song saved me. It’s such a powerful song’ and it’s Imagine Dragons.

          Ah okay that makes sense, like generic pop, popular with the majority music.

          I have no clue what my music says about me, I tend to jump between Käärijä (finish rap/pop), Blind Guardian, and Paul Simon 😂

            Sounds like you have too distinct a taste to be a coworker, but I’d like to check out Käärijä and see what I think. I need to listen to how well Finns pull off rap for myself.

            I feel like coworker music is either the most generic music ever, or they listen to something incredibly niche but it sounds terrible.

    boss yeah I’m gonna send ya a couple servers to configure. me: aight.
    boss: I need them done by tomorrow
    me: doable, but you’re building an 8tb stripe, that alone is gonna take about five hours jsyk.
    boss: also I have just realised you go on leave next week so I want everything possible done right now. Even things that can wait. Even things that aren’t anywhere near being implemented.
    boss: I am going to send you every email under the conceivable fucking sun and demand you answer them instead of building my servers.
    boss: I’m also gonna let a client scream at you about something I did
    boss: and I’m gonna ask you if you’ve done something that I explicitly said I’d do three weeks ago
    boss: and then I’m gonna send you another couple servers.
    boss: I want these ready to ship to client tomorrow.

    My daughter helped a relo out with his banking because he freaked out a bit. She says to me “Mum, he doesn’t know how banking works but he knows how to get on Tinder”. I couldn’t stop laughing. 😂

    Cheers for the advice on the second hand backpack. Got a bellroy classic in near new nick for 85 bucks, normally 220. No shame in jumping in at that price point.

    A few more boxes have been packed and a shelving unit disassembled. There is a lot of gunk underneath it. I am going to learn from this and make sure the bottom shelf is high enough that I can clean under it. Right on the floor might have been fine for a solid shelf, but for a shelf with gaps for things to fall through it was not a good plan.

    It has been over two weeks since I have watched the hobbit or lotr 😟 I do listen to a little bit of lotr audio book most days.

    But I did watch Dark again.
