When I used to get my haircut in japan, some old dude used to use it as his opportunity to practice his really poor english on me and I'd say I understood him about 4% of the time, so I'd just smile and nod. It is funny that they show you a big chart of dudeheads and you pick your favourite style though. They'd also take photos of me because I guess seeing a redhead in person is like, an amazing thing over there.

I used to go to this Italian bloke called Mario up in Brookvale and he did a good job but the banter was always good. Some of the sea Eagles blokes apparently go to him as well but be hosed if I know whom any of them are

Found an old backup tape from work.

Back in the day I had to take the nightly backup home for security reasons.



And the tapes got smaller with more storage.

Covid, although they don't actually have any covid patients at the moment so they're packing test kits and doing their continuing education during their shifts.

Fwiw, they have plenty of PPE at my daughter's hospital. The one thing they could use more of is swabs.

They're using spotters when donning/doffing PPE, so they're not half-assing it.

The next day pain was worse than the day of, I found. Sleep was also a nightmare because I got it in my non-dominant (left) arm, but that is the arm I sleep on.

Can’t help you with the texts tho.

If he hasn’t texted you back by now it’s a “soft no”.
The etiquette is you need to go outside his bedroom window and play him guitarless love songs until he texts you back.

Gumtree is bullshit the amount of people who don't delete listings when they're sold or don't reply, I went to buy a decent mountain bike from someone who was apparently "in a rush" to sell it because of moving overseas, and "kept getting their time wasted" yet when I messaged them to get an address so I could come get it they never replied

I once texted some dude on and off for several months about a speaker cabinet. He never replied to the messages but the cab continued to be listed. I'd just send a message, wait two weeks, send a message again. I finally got a reply and apparently he'd used his girlfriends phone number and she either had her phone off or just didn't give a poo poo, I never really figured it out. I got my white whale bass cabinet in the end though for an absolute steal.

The moral is that people on gumtree are useless cunts.

I have used WFH/iso to undertake switching to no-shampoo.

the first week was a greasy mess but now on week 4 it seems to have slowed dramatically.

i still have to wash the bottom half (my hair is pretty long) since its really fine and gets too heavy but a weekly rinse/wash cycle is doing nice things to my scalp.

my beard is probably 2 inches too long at the moment but gently caress going to a barber right now.

the extra fucken aggravation of buying poo poo on gumtree/FB is so rarely factored in when I see the price vs new

every time i see an ad for something i want written with no regard for a potential buyer I want to disregard it on principal but it turns out im a cheap gently caress with no principals at all :(

I’ve got a mental health plan from my gp so that I could get Medicare subsidised psychologist sessions.

That’s the only application I know about for the term ‘mental health plan’, but I am not deep into it.

Taking leave for mental health just sounds like sick leave?
