Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Someone needs to open a business called The LaundroCat which combines a laundry and cat cafe. Have a coffee and cuddle a cat while you wait for your laundry to be done. There is a lot of potential for extra sales in the cafe as no one would be able to leave because the cats would immediately sit on the freshly washed clothes.
brb felting all the cat hair and dryer lint into new clothes for the cats
This could be a great side business.
I'm thinking something like this.

I'll be there immediately even though I have my own washing machine. Legit
I’ve reached a stage in my life where new kitchen gadgets are a source of excitement. Bought a blender yesterday that also heats/cooks the food as it is being blended. Think of all the possibilities…
I watch those late night infomercials just for the food porn. The exercise ones bore me but the cleaning and food ones excite me.
Have you seen come dine with me UK? It's camp and bitchy and the food is ok. Watching soccer was worth connecting the aerial for, sbs food is worth keeping it connected imo.
Also did anyone you know get one of Multi Level Hippie Marketing thermomix things? They were like 2 grand at the time. They have imitators now for much less, they were pretty good, but so fucking woo it was like a wannabee yoga gurus must get object in 2012 or something.
Nah because the people I know make big motherfucker batches of shit.
Hu-fucking-zzah! For anyone following my utterly tedious work sitcho, it is finally SIGNIFICANTLY better after some feet were solidly put down at today's meeting. I have time frames! And $ figures! And direction! And managed to tell our overbearing yet thoroughly incompetent admin/"HR" to (a) stop patronising me (not in those words) and (b) that her particular processes might be protecting the business, but if she was so genuinely concerned about my well being then her officious way of doing things and dragging them out 1000% didn't help (almost in those words).
Definitely much better work life balance coming up, I CAN LET GO OF MY OLD PROJECTS FUCK YES, and I can genuinely taste the freedom to finally start moving on, whether it be here or elsewhere. Now, if only my rent wasn't so high - but at least it won't change until next April. Feeling p good right now. I'm much happier with the uncertainty (atm) of the next chapter vs the dread of staying on.
Until then... Hectic couple of weeks before the role change!
E: soxcat tax as it's her last night here. She's been an exceptional kitty the last few days. Love this little bunch of fur and cuddles.
prrrr

Hooray!!
Only a few more weeks and when the change happens I hope that everything starts to feel way better for you!
Well done!!! I actually had a very similar meeting today so sending you all the vibes! Also kitty is adorable :)
Got dinner from a pizza place called The Gusher.

There's only one choice of drink for the occasion..

it also has slot machines!!
at least we don't have every cafe and pizza joint here have slots yet
ouch big fight with fam.
butters puts up a better fight we've been here before.
Yep. I'm trying to navigate this I'm not doing too well at it. hm
I think you need butters to come back as a mediator.
(...fr though my heart goes out to you. It's not an easy conversation esp with stubborn parties.)
little bboi would have the whole thing sorted by now he's a professional
! I think if sox and butts were friends none of us would stand a chance.
Hugs, and support. This has to be one of the hardest things ever imo.
It was a bad night tonight and your support meant alot. Thank you.
The dude who runs the dodgy laundromat I'm in paid for my machine because I'm wearing a Raiders cap and he is too. He doesn't know I just wear the hats because I like them, I don't follow NFL at all.
Finally after 26hrs I can now take myself to bed and sleep, I think I can taste sounds at the moment.
Ha. Posted that "Awful Aspects of Spring" Leunig cartoon to the Book of Faces because I found a copy of it during Operation Sort Shit and it seems to have gone down like a lead balloon.
Dear me.he's no longer the darling of the virtue signalling upper middle classes , eh
it's like they never took any real notice of his cartoons at all , if there is one thing he hates it's them
He lost me before he went full cooker - he disappeared up his own arse and became neither interesting nor amusing.
That one, however, made me laugh just as hard as when I first saw it - good grief, it would have been in the eighties.

Sorry it came out tiny! Caption is "Awful aspects of spring: the new dog digs up the old dog."
Oh dear. Reminds me of the time I visited my parents with my old dog, and she brought us the body of one of their chickens she had just dug up. After being buried for about a week it was definitely not in good condition, but she was so incredibly proud of herself. I told her she was a good dog, swapped it for a dog treat and the chicken was re-buried in a less accessible place.
We had a big party at one of my old share houses, so there were a few dogs. We'd buried a dead possum a week before but I can't remember it's fate. Probably road kill knowing that place. We had a giant backyard as our place backed onto council land and a creek. Dogs dug it and fought with it for a while well before anyone noticed. It was in a lot of places by that time and of course, the dogs stank. I may have been on halucinogens too, so it was yucky but fucking hilarious.
Not disappointed, I'm a cat lover and this brought back a hilarious memory I shared below.
Being growled at by a pre-teen certainly feels great first thing on a Monday.
Don't worry, soon they will be an actual teen and you'll struggle to get them to event grunt at you in the morning.
Really hoping the local woolies has sweet potat noodles (the glassy type).
I had a dream about japchae last night. Specifically it was an intimate macro close up sesame seeds.
I know I'm going to be disappointed. One didn't just dream, I really did so plz universe I need that japachae.
i don't know why i've been craving japchae these couple of weeks too, but now i crave nasi lemak more so i'll get that when the shop opens on wednesday
I love japchae…
Now I think that’s what I’m going to eat for dinner.
Thank you dear friend (you know who you are 💜), for our dinner tonight. It's absolutely delicious. Truly appreciated.

Phones were dying so I decided to nip home from the hospital, only once I get back the nurse tells me I'm not allowed back in until 7am even though I literally left for 15 minutes... The poor housemates alone in hospital now and I feel like the biggest tit for leaving them there. Last time I went, I swear they let people in and out pretty frequently for the short stay ward because it's one of the weird in between places of the hospital.
I was going to offer you all chips but I ate them :( sorry everybodu.
