The Youtube Algorithm has a lit juxtaposition today.
Watching an interview with someone that has died, it recommended the latest Tom Scott video. Where people that have died are frozen.

Someone started an argument at work yesterday, and its sucked what little of the "give a fuck" I had left for this week.
Those temps in Sth. America be wild. Punching 30c+ in places where it's normally 14c.
Going to start the chillies soon if this is how it is. May as well take advantage of impending DOOM.
It's saying something that even my prik noom and scotch bonnet chillos seem to be surviving over winter despite major neglect, thrips and being blasted by both sun and cold winds on a balcony.

Monstera so hot right now
Brilliant weather today but I just know Melbourne weather has a habit of giving you a real backhand, and I'm waiting for it.
I feel like I’m walking around the Blockbuster video up in here..
There’s a bloke on the train next to me reading Leviathan Falls. I really want to say something, but looks like he’s only in the first couple of pages so I don’t wanna be weird.
DO YOU LIKE SPACESHIPS AND POLITICS SIR!?
^ that's what you say to break the ice 😉

Update: got on a roll with Operation Sort Shit and completely forgot the washing. And I'm too grotty to touch it. Eh well, I'll wrap it in a towel and put it through the dryer on gentle.
As for Operation Sort Shit, plowed through a pile of boxes, have half filled the yellow bin already and have discovered a few treasures including Mum and Dad's wedding album. Phew!
It is unseasonably warm tonight
8 meatballs now $12.50 at IKEA.
Smoky jalapeno sauce now $1 at GyG.
Walking into Coles or Woolies is like walking up to your school bully and inviting them to shake you upside down so all your lunch money falls out of your pockets.
Literally everywhere charges card fees.
No rainchecks anymore.
I dunno you guys I'm starting to feel sorry for these large companies, they must be really struggling to run at a profit in this financial climate. Right?
Thor's Day baby! ⚡️🔥⚡️🔥⚡️
Long lunchtime walk in shorts and a t-shirt and didn't get cold, it was bliss. It's coming up to that time of year where pasty skin meets sunshine after a decent break.
Sometimes it's alarming how much my body needs coffee to come "online" in the mornings. I'm ready to tone it down. Back to a single shot and trying to get more movement in.
Neck pains flaring up again - thankfully I have another massage booked in for this afternoon! Tomorrow I have an important coffee catchup, Monday my final psychiatrist sesh, Tuesday is the "big chat" with the boss + 2 other senior staff. Depending on how things go I might just write up my resignation letter this weekend, on hand for Tuesday if discussions break down. I know it's stupid to do that without another job in hand but honestly I just need it all to slow the fuck down and if that's not achievable i need it to stop. I have no loans, no mortgages, no dependents, I might as well make the most of that situation.

TO SEE BARBADOS!🎶
insert saxophone solo
I'm bloody excited to go out tonight with a mate to see an advanced screening of Gran Turismo. I'm not even a fan of the game. But I love my dumb car movies!

I have a 25 minute meeting today at 11:30 and that is it. The rest of my day is waiting on things I set in motion yesterday. I might grab the work tablet and go mobile this afternoon and get a pedi. Maybe go swing a club or two down at the driving range while the sun is shining with the CEO-types.
Yet another stunning sunrise in the works out there!

Gym lifters - do you think it's necessary to take things such as glutamine and BCAA? I want to lift heavier and have set a deadlift goal for myself by mid Jan (for when I turn 40 haha). I've never included them into my workouts (at most I may just make a shake or something) and but my new PT said its worthwhile for recovery and to hit heavier targets.

Hoyts are popping off. There's a DJ and a bunch of PSVR with Gran Turismo. I'm sweating like a sinner in church though
Edit: reviews are embargoed until aug 8. So I can't tell y'all what I thought of it 😉

In more work related fuckery, outlook does not like to connect when I plug my laptop into a docking station in the office.
Home WiFi - no problem.
It's not as if we use email for absolutely everything
***Update
Rang IT and described my issue. They told me raise a ticket online. Can't access any work related services on intranet so not an option.
Got told to log one tomorrow when I'm WFH
