To protect everyone involved, this may or may not have happened ;)

Was working interstate at a new location for a few weeks. I didn’t know the area well enough and got caught up with traffic and lack of parking on my first day, so was late. No major issue but I knew I would have to come in earlier to avoid that in future. I started coming in at 630 because I am an early riser and my contract had me doing longer hours than the workers. I could be early and still in the office before everyone left at the end of the day.

Across the alley was another older office building that I noticed I could see clearly into an office, just above the desk area. On my first day I watched this older male manager hold meetings and so on. Nothing interesting.

On my second day, just before 7am, I watched this much younger woman appear in his office and undo her blouse before going to town on this guy. Kneeling behind his desk, head bobbing like a chicken eating feed. 5 mins later he must have been done as she wipes him down and they both straighten themselves up.

I then proceeded to notice her coming in and out of his office all day for meetings so I assume it was his secretary or assistant. Nothing else of that nature happened again throughout the day.

Next day, same thing. And it carried on every day of my 3 week contract.

So… Let’s all go have a wank and reconvene in 10 mins?

Use it as a security camera. Plenty of apps that will do that, all it needs is a wifi connection and power.

I’m likely to do that shortly. I’m in an environment with a few toxic colleagues who know fuck all about what needs to be done, or how to do it, but manage to impact decision making and cast doubt on my abilities and deliverables to date. I have had to step outside of my role to deliver multiple big ticket tasks (e.g. I’ve been brought on to uplift code for multiple applications, but have also had to build a MEM deployment from scratch as there was no endpoint management), but no-one has the knowledge or the interest in taking over the finished products, expecting I’ll add it to my responsibilities.

A job is about to open up elsewhere that I’ve been encouraged to apply for, so I’ll keep trudging along and will let them know at my notice period. I’ve tried so hard to get involved with no luck, so now they’ll be forced to take interest.

Same boat, except I was diagnosed before hand. I was scrolling one night and adhd content started started to appear where people were talking about how it impacted their lives (albeit via stupid lists). It actually pinpointed a lot of behaviours I exhibited and put meaning to them. I was sceptical at first but started to see more and more of the same behaviours being highlighted, so I wrote them down and took them back to my shrink, who sat down and went thru them with me and we started to work through them. Was actually quite helpful.

I literally have a coffee with dessert. And Australian coffee, not the watered down shite. Never had a problem sleeping, and thought it was all a bit of a carry on.

Human Recycling.

Our kettle died and I guess we didn’t replace it quick enough for my mother in law, because she showed up with a new one a few days later. Only cost a couple of dollars, but it’s been going strong for the last 6 years.

Well, shit. I just bought it the other day and started with it. Had nfi.

The occasional mesh shirt couldn’t hurt.

Tonnes of CP.

Told my colleague immediately as he was at the other end of the work bench, then told my manager. They called the cops who told us to leave it alone, then immediately made their way over to confiscate the PC and take a copy of the job booking slip.

Never heard another thing about it after that. We thought we might be called as witnesses or to give statements, but nothing. The cops took a few mins with the PC when they got there, asked us to log into it and then leave the room. We figured they had enough on it and the guy probably admitted it. Never saw the customer again either, and he was a fair bit of a regular.

Today was one of the better ones I’ve had of late.

Spent the early morning playing with my toddler until my missus took her to a mums group. I went to the gym and did a little cardio before just heading to the sauna to relax.

Got home, had a spliff, then cleaned the place with music on. Missus gets back, then drop a bunch of laundry at the laundromat and we run errands.

Stopped by a friend’s place for coffee, then came home to do the dinner and bedtime show.

That’s pretty much a great Sunday. Bit of everything in there, and got a tonne of crap done. Now I’ll game while she scrolls and we’ll call it a night. Only way to make it better was to watch some sport.

I don’t.

Once I’ve seen a series, I don’t tend to watch it again unless it’s an old episode on TV, there’s nothing else on, and I really want to watch something. And even then, it’ll just be that episode - I won’t go and rewatch the series.

It baffles me how many people bang on about rewatching series.

Growing a tail.

Backing one out.

Laying some deep sea cable.

Taking an Edgar/Bradley/Travis (Britt/Pitt/Tritt)

Snapping one off.

Pinching off a loaf.

Giving birth to a project manager.
