    So the go live was a disaster. to be fair it worked for the first 10 minutes or so. Its the 11th where we started to run into problems. Turns out when the vendor says “yep no worries”. what they REALLY meant to say was “Yep? No. Worries!” We got lionel hutz’ed!

    And now the blame game begins, but we cant do much when the vendor straight up lies, can we? I didnt pick the vendor or the product. And I’m MORE than happy to call the Vendor and say “Listen here fuckface, you screwed up BAD how are you going to fix it!?” but I dont think the business want me to do that for some reason.

        Lack of insulation in this country is disgusting. Climate change is only going to get worse, and I’m fully expecting that people will die in their homes when it’s too hot and too cold.

        My buildings OC installed insulated windows in all the apartments, which has caused more condensation because they are airtight, and now it’s the occupants responsibility to make sure mold doesn’t occur 😑😑😑. But there no insulation in the roof as far as I can tell, so we lose heat through the roof. Either we have the split system on, which is old and inefficient, and lose heat. Or we leave it off and stay cold AS FUCK all day and night. The only saving grace is having oodies.

        Hate the way we build in this stupid cuntry

      is your current place far from your new job? and is the new job close to where you’d want to live?

        New job is in the city. Current place is pretty far, near Werribee.

        I have a house to myself for a bit more than what I’d pay for 2 or 3 bed apartment closer to the city and civilisation. That’s the only real draw. A house compared to an apartment.

        But I need to be around people and this area is dead.

          dont know if you’ve ever checked it out, but fairfield is pretty great. Or at least it used to be. Close enough for a cheap uber to the city or fitzroy without paying fitzroy prices. It might’ve got a bit more expensive since i left though.

    There’s some sort of mass outage happening. Half the checkouts in Woolies Oakleigh wasn’t working and a constant announcement complex wide alerting us of a technical problem.

    The Rush hour on Triple M wasn’t playing and came podcast only and have mentioned banks going down in the CBD and their own equipment wasn’t loading to air on radio.

    I wonder what’s going on.

      Bunnings online is pretty much down - they wouldn’t take my money and i had to press buttons a dozen times to even get it to try.

      Vlines whole communication system is dead, so all vline trains are suspended

      Edit: Commbanks PayID is dead (BSB and account number still work). UBanks customer service is apparently dead too and are saying it’s a good idea to call them another day.

      Edit edit: there’s apparently a national emergency meeting underway about it, according to the ABC

    Was up at 3am again today, but forced myself to go back to sleep until 7am.

    Going out to see MIL today, so looking forward to seeing her. She’s like the mum I wish I had. She always tells the story of when she first met me and knew her son wasn’t coming back to Perth lol. Such a treasure of a human, and it’s been a year and a half since we’ve seen her.

    Unsure if I want to go to the footy with them tomorrow though, West Coast vs St Kilda iirc. MIL’s partner goes for WC, she and my partner go for Freo, of course. Here I am, lil bomber supporter. I suppose, as a Victorian, I ought to go for the Saints.

    The last time I went to the footy was back in the mid-late 2000s. My friend and her family were/are Carlton supporters, and it was Essendon vs Carlton. Essendon won that game, was close too iirc, and the drive home was AWKWARD! Took everything in me not to be all in their faces haha.

      It might actually be a good game. They’re at 15/16 on the ladder. West Coast are in their ‘lose every game’ phase, so in theory it’ll be a Saints victory.

      In general though, I’m always going for whoever is playing the Victorian team. 😂

    Late night run last night to the strange and liminal spaces that is bunnings after dark. Why? Well, you see, his lordship accidentally hooked his spunding valve to the beer line on a pressurised keg ferment and we realised we really, really need all the furniture in the brewery to be on wheels so we can hose that room out if need be…

    ^but at least it really smells like a brewery now^
