Sunny Saturday

It's a gorgeous day, the sun shines.

We did nothing until lunch time when we walked to Carlton to eat Taiwanese food.

Mark calls me while I was waiting for the food to be bought out. He'd been back in hospital for a day, or so, some unspecified infection that they (the doctors) may, or may not have got under control after numerous blood tests and a MRI.

There was a woman eating next to us with a small dog in a pram. During her meal, she took the dog out and posed it on her seat with her food and took photos.

We ate Taiwanese fried chicken. I had chicken on it's own, having sweet corn soup before, and sweet tofu after. The texture of the sweet tofu was off this week, it was kind of curdled, rather than silky and smooth. Sam had fried chicken with all the side dishes.

We meet a lesbian couple in the Carlton Gardens on our walk back with a brindle coloured greyhound. They were nice.

I leave Sam and the dogs to walk home on their own, right at the end of our walk, and I go and do tattslotto before I head home, in a desperate bid not to go back to work next week. I did OzLotto, which I never normally do, after going to the doctor a few weeks ago, and I won most of my money back, so I put the same numbers on again last week, when I won the exact cost of the ticket, so I took that as a sign to play again this week.

I get milk and bananas as well. Kind of staples, everyone should have milk and bananas. Brun and I share a banana sitting on the kitchen floor when I get back.

The sun continues to shine.

We lie on the couches for the rest of the afternoon.

Break in Usual Transmission

Third day off in a row, well, two and a half, okay two and three quarters. How many hours sick leave am I going to apply for? Hmmm?

The sun has been shining down these last few days.

Sam has been too busy working to make any demands on my time.

I've been busy generating AI images for all my old blog posts. Wasting my time adding images for two, and three, year old, and older, blog posts that probably no one is ever going to look at? Quite possibly. But, it is my latest fun thing to do. But it is time consuming, and I'm not getting any writing done.

I'll look at them, and like them.

Am I re-writing history a bit? Yeah, sure, a bit, but this ain't Shakespeare, let's face it. It's just drivel that once dribbled out of my mouth. Nyr!

Anyway, I can't think of much to write today when I am back three years in history sniffing around.

So, hang about, I guess I'll be done soon.

Conservative Right Wing Politicians

* not exact model, picture used for illustrative purposes only 

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, conservative got minister - shadow minister, I'm forgetting like the conservatives forget, they are not in power - charged taxpayers to fly husband to CPAC where she railed against government spending.

The Liberal senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price charged taxpayers $2,500 to fly her husband to the CPAC conservative conference in Brisbane last year, where she made a speech calling to cut government spending and implored attendees not to desert the Coalition.

Sickie

I took a sickie. I don't normally take sickie's, I haven't taken one since October 2022, but, really, I was sick when I did take that leave, after my eye operation, so, actually, in this job I have never taken a sickie, as such.

Oh, I don't know, the last few days just gave me the shits, and so I decided to take some of my sick leave, if I am going to resign any time soon, as it totally seems more like a possibility than it did not all that long ago.

Things just seem to be going from bad to worse. Our little department seems to have given up all it's authority to anyone else who seems to want to take advantage. Boris seems to have given in and is just being a doormat to everyone else. It all seemed to start when I took leave. It just reeks of Boris having got a bad review and now she is just doing anything for anyone who asks, and by association, i'm being expected to do the same.

And, I don't like it, because if you don't at least stand up for yourself a little, people take advantage, that is human nature, and that is what I see happening at work.

The Midget got a promotion to captain of the dog's bodies and has turned into a somewhat of a megalomaniac. 

And has The Big Poo taken a bit of a backward step since his brain tumour last year, or was that the year before, now? Time slips by so fast.

Kindness

Weird that the most radical act today seems to be kindness.

Monday

Oh groan, Monday again. I sound like a broken record, I realise that, but they come around so quickly, now don't they.

I feel bad that they expect me in the office, at the same time, I feel pissed off that they expect me in the office. I feel annoyed that this problem has been created, really for no reason.

I think nyr, and I work from home. Let's see what happens.

I see people crushed into public transport, or sitting in huge lines of traffic and I wonder why the workers accepted this again, seemingly, with little push back after being given the gift of working from home during the pandemic?

Out To Lunch

It's just lunch today, that's all that is on the agenda.

It's Sunday

Oh yes, of course, we have cleaned the house, it is Sunday after all, and Sam is a stickler for that. Me? I don't care about cleaning so much. My theory on cleaning is that when it looks dirty to me, then I clean it.

It's another warm, overcast, day. Sometimes I think warm overcast days are hotter than sunny day, I don't know why. At least there is a bit of a breeze.

It is humid, which I hate. Thank you to all the filthy conservative politicians who have ignored climate change causing Melbourne to be humid, where it never was humid. We're still used to the dry heat that used to be Melbourne weather. This humidity sucks.

Vote conservative politicians out of office who are climate change deniers, our lives depend on it.

Anyway, we're just walking to the next suburb, we're gonna eat outside, then we're gonna walk home. Job done.

Day done.
