Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Here's a photo of its bum for all the perverts

It is! I had to tinker with the photo on my phone to try and get it to look like what it actually looks like and it's still not exactly the same as in person, but it's pretty close
And I'm out ☝️bowled out by a covid ball. I had a good innings though. Just gonna rest up and try not to cough a shit out.
Had an attempted break-in last night. Bit of a worry.
There goes my sleep for the next while.
Maybe borrow a dog for a while. Hambam? I would imagine being licked to death by a border collie would be enough to discourage even the most ardent feef.
I could send Misha. Ain't nothing like having ten ton of fat bitch coming at you convinced you have cheese
(she thinks everyone has cheese. And its hers by divine right)
I'd actually think Butters would be a better bet.
But jeez waking up to that is going to throw me for a bit.
I'm sorry mate. I've had cooked people repeatedly try to get into mine before and it is an awful hypervigilant feeling.
Time to Home Alone it? Whatever makes you feel better. Perhaps with luck a pile of pots and pans in front of the entry point will alert neighbours/break the intruder's neck.
Someone came into the office today with a fairly nasty cough.
They were asked to go work from home about 15 minutes later.
They started protesting 'But I'm already here and it took me an hour to get to work!!'
The absolute fucking brainless audacity of this moron....
At least someone told them to go home. Been in a workplace where the boss didn’t care. Everyone kept getting sick from this guy who would refuse to stay home when sick.
The DT hath spoken. I shall request extra pay.
I'll get a day-in-lieu anyway because I'm working cup day. Noice!
And then after you get paid you can treat yourself to something nice and save the rest.
Ooo yess I have been meaning to get a set of usb-c headphones. 💜
jeeeesus christ I got fisted by freddy work-wise today.
I'm gonna eat a wheel of brie in the bathtub
Patted this seemingly friendly boi while visiting a friend (stray/neighbourhood cats are common in this country), he was enthusiastically rubbing himself all over me and enjoyed being picked up by my friend, but once I scritched his cheek he loved it for 2.5 seconds and then flipped a switch and gave my hand a very deep chomp that literally struck a nerve 🥲 went to a GP just to be sure and got some oral and topical antibiotics.
I have been having shit luck with cats here this time which is sad.
So last night's attempted home invasion has brought me to bringing a golf club to bed. I have chosen a 5 iron.
But seriously worrying about this shit was not on my 2023 bingo card.
So I'm now in the process of working out how much paranoia is healthy. Like do you set up a little random timer for a light(s), a camera would be pointless after the fact. The motion sensor out the front works but wasn't a deterrent.
Rationally, statistically it's not common. Seeing it first hand is making me irrational.
I had an attempted break in a few years ago during the day. They ran when they saw me appeared at the window. Never returned. If the attempted home invasion was more of a thief nature rather than a robbery nature I’d say you’ll be fine.
Cameras can sometimes be a deterrant, and the ones you can see through an app on your phone can quickly reassure you that a sound was just a possum. Or can let you know if there's anyone sus outside, giving you the jump to get out the back door and/or call the cops.
Give yourself a break. You've been through a shaking experience and don't need to beat yourself up about your reactions
What you need to do is set up some speakers and a German shepherd/ rottweiller sound track on your phone. You hear a noise, you press play.
So tired. I just want to sleep, but I have work tomorrow and Saturday, 10am start and 8am start respectively.
Penalty rates or a day-in-lieu? Decisions decisions...
Playing around with the vplates website for a laugh (I can't see me bothering with custom plates) and this is available for someone who wants to express their road rage through their plates:

Well i feeling down and couldn’t resist therapy shopping and eating wven though it makes me feel awful that I’m spending money when I’m trying to save.
I’ve spent the last of my money on chicken wings and a pack of half price kranskies to drown myself into oblivion over the coming days.
Thank you. I really need hugs today.
Got one from my coworker today without her knowing that I needed one but she needed one as well for reasons unknown to me.
Definitely feeling the new job fatigue today, and having "oh my god this is real" anxiety.
I'm so tired of trying to be positive all the time. There's now actually a genuinely shitty attitude bleeding through because I can't seem to be treated respectfully or catch a break.
It's been a bad day.
Sending you hugs and cheese. Cheese makes things feel better, even just for a little while.
