Only
23 wake ups so far. Not bad.That reminds me. There’s several Simon’s at work. I’m very unaccustomed to having the same name as other people.
Ive only ever met 1 other person with my real name.
Feels odd to call someone else by my name.
3 wakes, 3 recovering from migraine wakes because i have to pee
name, i don’t meet many people with my first name and have met none with my last
I dropped my weird religious name and am left with a John Smith grade common white guy name.
Almost sounds blissful. I’m the only person in Australia with my first name + last name combo. If you meet another person in Australia with my last name, I am 100% related to them 😂
I have my husband’s surname. If I met someone else with that surname, we are related.
same
both a blessing and a curse
Oh I bet I had a more generic white guy name. I think my name was the most common boys name the year I was born. Couple that with one of the top 5 English surnames and every ID check I ever did failed cause it had to go through an extensive review cause no one believed that was my real name.
Got a better last name now I’m married though.
Ezekiel?
Jebediah
Could also be Job or Onan
They’re all pretty normal names as far as names go. Wrong religion too.
Wayan Darren Jones?
Ooh okay. I always thought that biblical names we’re especially weird.
Not familiar with names from other religions that much.
That’s a cruel name
There have always been a bunch of Thomas’s around for me. There’s one guy at work also called thomas with the same initials as me, so that could get very confusing in the project management software
The first three people I met with name, we’re all in my grade 8 class. Thankfully our surnames had different initials.
I know some arabs that named their twin boys Jesus and Moses (in arabic) and then there’s little brother Adam.
Next one would be Eve?
Just saw first comedy show if the season. So so good. Saw: He Huang (absolute best of the night), Nazeem Hussein, Dave Hughes, and an Australian/African girl who’s name I sadly forgot who was second best for me - has her own show and is going to be on taskmaster this season. It was a work social club thing and I almost bailed but I’m so glad it didn’t. Buzzing 😊
I’m watching the festival supershow on telly atm - so many great performances
It took me nearly a month after getting my psych to fill out uni support forms (which she did within 24 hours of asking) to actually submit them to the uni out of paralysis/shame/anxiety/whatever - I did it this morning and then got a response from the subject coordinator eerily quickly… was out doing fieldwork and told myself I wouldn’t read it till I got home because I was fully expecting a “no”.
Turns out I got 10 days extension no questions asked. Fucking A. Sat with so much anxiety and avoidance for nothing.
Gonna celebrate by treating myself to an afternoon and evening of yet more PHM. Good good good. Thank!
Fuck yeah!
Got a new phone and now I’ve been locked out of my banking app in trying to set it up 🤦🏼♀️ Will have to sort it out tomorrow. I’m kind of annoyed.
Rock on, gang 🤘🍺
Not going to finish my assignment in time, probably a few hours after the deadline. It is what it is. Just going to focus on getting the next four in before their deadlines.
I never learn. But for the next lot of assignments, I am going to force myself to break down each assignment into achievable tasks using this AI thing that does that and slot them in on the calendar.
My laptop has 8GB of RAM which is not conducive to many tabs open. It is currently showing a white screen instead of a chrome tab. My aunt has a laptop with 64GB of RAM which I think is other worldly.
You can do this Low! a 5% late penalty is not the end of the world. I guarantee you it will not even register on your mind 10, 20, 30 years later and when you’re on your deathbed reflecting on the things that mattered to you.
And truth be told academic structures are not always conducive to those with attention disorders. I am only smashing it at my current job because the deadlines are all within 2 weeks, the projects are almost all short term, and there is support and advice available most of the time. I don’t think I will do any further study for quite a long time after I finish this cursed subject and degree.
Thanks Kitten, you can do it too! That sounds like a wonderful working style. Long-term projects aren’t really my thing right now.
It’s unfortunately 10% at my uni (should’ve stayed at the old one hehe), but I’d rather submit an assignment that’s 10% better tomorrow than one that would get the same mark if I submitted it on time.
I once heard a saying - ‘C’s get degrees’
Not sure how true it is but just get what credit you can for getting it done
Thinking. :(
There are so many people I have a lot in common with and could get along with really well - if they would treat me with respect.
They’re always so shocked and angry when you set a boundary or leave, too.
I just watched Flow 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It’s a much more intense movie than it seems. Great film though
ok guys, it’s bed time
good night, sweet dreams 😘😘😘
I have van. Now I’m waiting for an assessment of whether the reversing camera can be installed without a new head unit 🤞
It is nice sitting up high and being able to see further, but it will take a while to get used to primarily using the side mirrors. I have so far managed to avoid turning on the windscreen wipers instead of the blinkers.
Seconding getting the head unit upgraded to one that has carplay/android auto (if it doesn’t already) - it makes SO much difference. Got it done on my car and while it was a strain on the wallet in one hit, it has paid off in scads from all the times it has made navigation etc so much better (and safer) than a mounted phone.
It will be having android auto - it has some connection already, but it might just be to play music. I have a TomTom gps unit that I actually really like for navigation, both because it keeps the maps downloaded and doesn’t need internet connection and because the dashboard or windscreen mount position is better to look at than in the centre console.
if your existing headunit doesnt have carplay/android auto just replace the headunit anyway. its a game changer!
gecko frens living on the front porch 🦎🥰
They are so cute. It’s so nice to have wildlife around! Is it possible he lost part of his tail? The ones I’ve seen have a tail that narrow to a thinner point. Unless this is a different species. It’s amazing how tiny some of them are.
Love these little dudes even though it’s a bit less nice when they’re inside the house and leave their poo around (but still so helpful otherwise)
what a beautiful day out there 🌞
I have just submitted my first rental application, which was slightly terrifying. It is a lot more involved than the last time I was looking for a private rental (over 20 years ago!)
Hopefully they haven’t just rented it to someone else, the landlord falls in love with Mr Woof and Miss Meow when they see the pictures, the property will be just as I imagine it in real life and I won’t have to look at any others. Unlikely, but I can hope!
Bring it home Mr Woof and Miss Meow 🤞
Got a covid and flu shot yesterday and I am zonked.
shit I gotta do that
but it’s good to have the shots 🙂 hope you feel better real soon
Sitting in the sun on my lunch break is good for my soul
