Snuck a cheeky can of bourbon into the cinema instead of buying a ludicrously expensive softdrink. Damn The Man. Break the system.

I'm going to the CBD later to grab some shoes and some t-shirts.
I haven't left my outer suburb in a couple of weeks. It's always a shock to the system being around so many people all at once.
I do so miss it though. Once I'm re-established I'm moving closer to the city. Maybe st.kilda again.

something entirely out of my hands has gone through so i can now continue with my life and go easy on that productive procrastination
I spoke to a HR person in the IT industry earlier today.
She said for a role, they usually get 40 resumes. Now they're getting 300.
Fucking hell.
Wonderful. I start active job hunting tomorrow now that I've gotten all my affairs in order.
I've been looking since November and have had 3 interviews. After at least 500 or so applications
i'm not looking into IT, pretty much just any non-call center office job, preferably in the city
Depression lapse sucks. Today I am going to be reading and rereading the chapter on tolerance of ambiguity and other cognitive ways of thinking.
This one is a hard nut to crack, my thinking is too fast, I can't see where the wrong thinking starts. I need to peel back the layers until I can get to the problem.

Work goals kicked today. Got some kudos from higher ups that I never deal with.
Feel good, but also now they've put a face to my name and I cannot remain hidden behind and email signature.
Also hate setting the bar high
So I have possibly two opportunities here for my other 3 days...
-
Flexible work that is casual and pays well but is absolutely braindead and will not further my career whatsoever, would be working solo or with other casuals who I probably won't give a crap about. And requires regular interstate travel. Still, unlikely to burn out as I can choose to not work whenever I want, and lots of upcoming work in the May-June period.
-
Permanent PT work that makes better use of my skills. Will require commitment, is more challenging but could also be mentally/emotionally taxing, higher chance of burning out if I'm not careful. Definitely no scope to be as flexible as #1 in terms of taking time off. But is based close to home, will definitely advance my career, work with very well regarded professionals. Haven't discussed pay.
I don't need permanent employment right now - ideally just need to make bank before July and then take it easier for a year while I finish my degree - plus I love being able to go somewhere different each time, and the flexibility is REALLY tempting, like massively so, on a practical and personal level... I don't actually want to go back to full time hours really.
I would've gone for #1 straightaway if not for #2 cropping up first.
But having heard #2 out, it does seem like a better medium to long term option and could make me feel more fulfilled and connected IF I manage my time and energy right. I'm torn!

rant about ex
I keep thinking about that stupid DM my ex sent me on Reddit, and I was getting annoyed that it was still on my mind. Like, why am I angry at it?
I realised it's because, despite claiming to have grown since we split, she is still just as self-centred as usual. She hasn't grown, or changed. This is just the same text-wall shit they would send me while I was at work, listing all the reasons I suck and am bad, and expect me to reply instantly and if I didn't I was accused of cheating. Like, same shit, just without the accusations of infidelity.
That DM was better off journalled and shown to their therapist tbh. They acknowledge they weren't a great person, but in the same sentence claim I wasn't either. Like, that isn't anything, nothing substantial. Just "I was bad... But so were you!!"
Stupid motherfucker, dumbass, shitstained cunt. She already lives rent free in my head due to CPTSD, like get out of my DMs you fuck knuckle. Does your girlfriend know you sent that drivel to me at 3am on a Monday morning?? Go pay attention to her ffs. You claim to have read my Reddit comments, why did you feel the need to send me that after I told everyone on there you're a rapist abuser? Fuck off with that shit you slimeball.

The effects of other people can really linger in our minds. If you no longer want contact, a simple reply of something like โI donโt want to revisit our past, or have any further contact. Please donโt contact me againโ and then block number. Message is useful because itโs closure for you and sets a clear boundary, but if you think itโs better for your mental health to not reply at all, just block number and say good bye to that part of your life.
so many hugs
and time for new reddit accounts
I ๐ค my locals. Swapped many books, borrowed a ladder, lent a pruning saw. Acquired mulberries, gifted plums.
Canโt afford to buy here. Arse.
got through 1 & 1/2 episodes of the new Invincible last night. Man that show is effective at making you feel things.

Wow. Feel like I packed three weeks into those four work days. Stoped off for a meal on the way home. Laying low this weekend so can shout myself a meal and a drink. ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Have highly aggravated my hands, first day of holiday shall be neither murdering garden nor sewing sofa as planned. Guess I need to find something on the box to vege out at.
Beer, whiskey, binge watching shit, ugg Boots, stretched out on the couch.
LET THE LONG WEEKEND COMMENCE!!

I honestly feel like 90% of my life is a constant exercise in restraining myself when it comes to food.
Here I am after smashing a whole pack of rice cakes ๐
I just inhaled a large pizza and a 4 pack of Stomping Ground like itโs a Tuesday

Whatโs the ๐ฅHOT TAKE?๐ฅ
Here's a a hot take. Traditionalists will tell you that the only way you should eat hot cross buns is cut, toasted then buttered. I am here to tell you that there are other ways that include an airfryer, butter, lemon butter and biscoff spread. Boom.
just bite into it cold
You can't suggest that here, this thread is for hot takes.
The funny sloth scene is more than a little true. I went to the Department of Transport yesterday literally to pick up a spare number plate (It's the same number plate as the car, just goes on the bike rack so the bikes don't obfuscate the rear plate) that is there waiting for me. A 5-minute errand. I got there an hour before closing.
'Nope, we're too busy today. Come back another day'.
'but the number plate is here. I'm just picking it up. I don't need anything from you'.
'There are too many people waiting. Some of them have been here three hours already.'
'But, you're only open 9-4:30 weekdays. It is super rare that I get a chance to drop in while you're open.'
'Take a day off work to visit us. Get here by lunchtime.'

check wind speed
nvm i'm staying in. maybe a nap and then steak with instant mash and green peas
I'm tuckered out so if it's off to bed, watch some tv, listen to some hobbit.
good night ๐
I was just about to go down to the post office to see if my package was chilling there when I heard a thud and my package is just in front of my door. No postman in sight, like a little package fairy.
It seems that the second digit of my address had been scratched off (but nothing else on it), so now I'm even more confused. It looks almost intentional. But if it wasn't delivered because the number was scratched, that's even more confusing. Why did the tracking say it was delivered? Why was the neighbours package delivered to me? Was this the package god just testing my faith? Will we ever know all the answers?
Without ranting on it too much, I think I'm just going to chalk it up to both human error, and trying to game the system. It was initially meant to be delivered by the PDC boys, I believe from memory they get paid per delivery like uber eats people, and they have massive delivery zones, so I don't blame them for just marking it delivered and then taking it to the LPO. But I still think they got confused and meant to take my neighbours to the PO rather than give it to me, but it is what it is I guess.

My revanced broke again so I had to repatch it and I'm loving how easy it is to patch now. When I first hopped on revanced after the og Vanced died, i had to go digging through random APK websites to find the right YouTube APK, then painstakingly choose the patches I wanted, then it took around 20-30 minutes to patch it, couldn't do other things while I was waiting or it'd abort. Couldn't read notifications or it'd abort. Then I had to force stop and disable OG YouTube, then when things broke I had to do it all over again
Now it's so much easier, I just push a button and it takes me where I need to be to download the recommended apk version, the patches all come pre selected and only take 2 mins at most to patch, I disabled the original YouTube just so I don't get confused, but that's not required. When I've gotta update, I don't need to uninstall the previous version of patched YouTube anymore, it's all so simple now
How do the people working on a small passion project completely for free in their spare time just out of spite for advertising manage to fix their app faster than google or Reddit do?
I couldn't live without revanced. I refuse to pay for YouTube or tolerate their ads.

Bloody hell, another car accident happened right in front of me. Just around the corner from the last one. This one seems a lot more minor though, judging mainly on the fact I barely heard the thud and the beeping lasted about 2 seconds. Everybody looks fine
