So I was a VIP hostess in hospitality before The Incident, but since then I've been in the office - first doing busywork but now doing HR stuff with a bit of marketing on the side. COVID has meant staffing is an issue so I was needed to step up. And I did!

I don't blame you one iota. We're doing not too badly here, all things considered - I mean, Melbourne notwithstanding. There's been a little cluster a few hours from where I am, so we're all holding our breaths that it doesn't reach us here. If it does, I'm heading the fuck out bush. 

Happy Sunday friends! I had a wonderful breakthrough at work these last few days. For the first time since D-Day, I was able to be on the floor with punters, selling raffle tickets, and spruiking over the mike. Sure, I was a jittery almost manic mess, but I did it!!!! It’s not a permanent thing, mostly because I’m…

I am so fricken excited for this!! I don’t care if I have to wait another year, the payoff will be worth it.

I personally thought he looked a bit like Henry Winkler (as Bluth family attorney, Barry Zuckerkorn).

Sorry friends, but we don’t want him back in Australia either. Look at that fuckin’ mug. He looks like the kind of guy that gets into the shower to take a shit.

I grew up in tropical Queensland so snakes, box jellyfish, bird eating spiders, cassowaries, salt water crocodiles... that was normal. Those little lizards, we call them geckos. They are harmless but leave their little pellets of gecko shit everywhere!!

Oh I'm well aware that every time I set foot outside my house I'm dancing with death... 

It’s a curly one for sure, because we have such a culture of drinking in Australia. Aside from that, I work in hospitality - if you don’t have a substance you occasionally abuse, you’re the weird one. Thankfully I'm only a drinker! I appreciate your response and will try and look at things with a different lens and…

I appreciate the insight, thank you for sharing. Alcoholism runs in my family, albeit on the periphery, so I am aware of it, I guess? I mean, my Da is a functional alcoholic, and there's always been a strong culture of drinking not just in Australia in general but in my immediate circles. Lots to think about and…

My neighbour informs me it’s a bloodworm. All I know is, it's naaasty. (I'm in SW Queensland, in Australia)

He’s a worm but... AAAHHHHHH

Also: we had a lot of rain yesterday and last night and this DISGUSTING motherfucker crawled into my garage. 

Hallo internet!! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend. I have a question for the drinkers, and the reformed drinkers.

Of course! This one was amazing. I didn’t bother making gremolata or shit like that, but in my opinion it didn’t really need https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018854-pressure-cooker-osso-buco

Aaahhhhhhhhhh Point taken 🤣🤣🤣

That’s an incredibly good point!

Very true. I mean, singing along to the Spice Girls where they are very clearly talking about doing the sex when I was 14 years old!! My poor mother.

Oh good, I'm just old then 😂 carry on!!!

Am... am I a prude? Or am I just old? I mean, huzzah for pussy power and all that, but I don’t know that I want my tweenage nieces and nevvies bopping along time this. I’m just... yeah. I think I’ll stick to The Chicks.
