That would be so petty and unprofessional.

Unrelated hews, he called and actually left a message when I was in a meeting. He texted asking me to sort out the issue, I texted back and asked him to speak to the boss as he'd allocated said issue to him. I presume he's done it ha ha

My current boss is one of the moodiest people I’ve ever met and some days she just absolutely will not take a call.

I usually try to teams message her on said days and ask “you got 2 mins to speak” I’ll usually get some snarky comment back then I’ll proceed to just write out whatever it is on teams and tie her up for 30 minutes with back and forth.

Hey, you made this choice by not taking the 2 minute teams call.

I think I just had an idea. Our RSL has pretty cheap grog, like 15 bucks a 6 pack or 48 a slab take away. I'm wondering if for a gold coin donation I could buy a slab and get the courtesy bus to deliver it? I'm within the radius, who says I need to be on the bus with my slab?

Often. 4K africa the bomb.

Also just play rain ambience as well.

Yep both of these.

There's a fireplace one where that dude from Parks and Recreation just sits there looking at you, occasionally having a drink of whisky.

I like the jazz cafe / rain outside ones too. Nice to have on if you are cooking or reading a book or have friends over. Much better than listening to Andy Maher commentate the Big Bash.

When out walking or running, if I spit or touch something etc, I always try and remember where I did it in case I need it for an alibi.

I get this. Small chunks when training helps. I usually try to work out a fraction for anything I’ve checked.

5km run and in 500m in I’m 1/10th there.

Also the last 500 of any run, any distance, is always the hardest mentally gor me.

Opposite for me. At my old home my usual running route had a pretty decent uphill right at the end and it was tough going, but mentally I'd be like geez I was feeling like crap at the start of my run when I was 800m in, much rather be where I am now than back there and it was always the little burst I needed to finish off (relatively) strongly.

But definitely +1 for breaking time down into number of tracks left, though I'd roughly equate four minutes to one song.

I usually only do this if I'm doing a noodle soup or something and use the chopsticks to break up the noodles while in the hot water.

I used to think chopsticks were dumb but they're way better for noodles than a fork, also dumplings as well, you can't eat a soup dumpling with a fork too easily. Rice is still a bit hard for me, most seem to lift the bowl close to the moutn and just shovel it in though.

But its easier with chopsticks?

i do love using chopsticks at an asian restaurant though, not sure why, more authentic probably

Yep way easier with chopsticks for a soup dumplilng. You can pick the dumpling up without piercing it, then bite a little hole, suck the soup out and then eat the dumpling. With a fork you stab it, soup leaks out, sometimes the skin tears and you drop it, well I do anyway.

Even a noodle soup is good, you don't have to stab the meat/noodles against the bottom of the bowl to pick it up, just grab it, easy.

Had a crash course in chop sticks from my work mates on my first trip to Thailand, we got lunch delivered with no forks and all chopsticks!

Yeah of course, agree. I was thinking dumpling soup and using chopsticks to drink the soup

Soup dumplings always burn the shit out of my mouth - to much of a hurry to eat their deliciousness

There's a community radio station in Launceston that nobody listens to. On Wednesday there's a particular show, and I will usually send a text on the textline with some kind of request or insane comment.

Sometimes I'll request Dance Monkey, sometimes I'll reminisce in detail regarding the intro of the Black Eyed Peas' "Let's get it started". There's never usually a point, but it'd leave any reader baffled.

Because no one listens, they will always read out my text. It's gotten to the point where the hosts think it's one of their friends playing a prank on them.

I haven't even lived in Tasmania for 5 years.

Is it actually true that the Monkeys in City Park have AIDS?

 

[Hamingja]

Is it actually true that the Monkeys in City Park have AIDS?

No. It's just what the locals tell mainlanders so they get to keep the hot monkey sex for themselves.

Not AIDS, but they do have chlamydia or something lol
