First stabbing yesterday- got the Pfizer, but I think I need to upgrade my office 365 subscription to get the full 5G speed boost. No real side effects apart from making a mistake with getting it in my left arm cos I’m right hand dominant, while forgetting that I sleep on my left side, so that hurt last night as it got sore

Totally typical of the aus governments massive gently caress up of the roll out though. I was meant to get it last Monday but i was too busy dying of gastro, so it got cancelled.

Rebooked it, had to wait until the end of OCTOBER to get an appointment cos they’re so busy. Then Sunday night I get an email saying I had an appointment Monday without any loving heads up or me booking it or anything!

OK perfect I got a job offer for a job I was lukewarm on...

And in reflection after a date last Friday I am a person who tries to fit in with whoever accepts me. Whether or not it's a good fit. Lots of reflecting this week.

Yep, that was the high water mark. It hung at that price for several weeks. I missed the past few weeks, but today it is at $48.58 per sheet. Only a month later and it's nearly half of what it was. And it's still 4 times more than it should be.

Several sawmills in BC are needing to shut down again due to fires. It would surprise me if supply gets constrained again in the somewhat near future causing another spike.

So for some reason, the grocery world is kinda small, I think?

On Sunday, I had a followup with the workman's comp dr (I know Sunday is a weird day for that, but that's how it got scheduled). They told me I can ditch the sling, start doing PT, start doing exercises at home, and really shouldn't use my right arm much for a few weeks (5 lb lifting restriction).

Went to a competing store, more because (a) their meat is cheaper and (b) I didn't feel like dealing with the crowds at my own store. Ran into one of our vendors there, said hi, he just goes "your hand is okay....". I tried to tell him "my hand was always fine, it was my shoulder that's hosed up.. it's still hosed, I'm in physical therapy for it". He jumped straight to yelling at me about "faking an injury" and went off about how he's going to rip into my boss. Really dude? Is THIS the hill you want to die on? Accusing someone, OFF THE loving CLOCK, of faking an injury? That's like standing in front of every handicapped parking space in a shopping center and saying "you don't look handicapped, I'm having your car towed".

The GM of said grocery store saw this happen (he also knows my face, knows I work for the competition in an hourly role, and knows I go to his store because it's a lot closer + less crowded than my own store), I gave him my side, he barred said vendor rep from the property and told him to send someone else. I have a feeling I'm gonna get to deal with him again tonight.

What the actual gently caress? Why is it any business of a *vendor* who or why a worker for a host store is on leave or light duty? Sounds like someone who got removed from their management job for being a jackass.

As someone who just got hired at a company that primarily does IT consultancy/outsourcing/services, the expected high level of professionalism is front and center from day 1. I'm not even in a customer-facing role, and it's still very clearly emphasized.

Directly accosting an employee of a client like that? That'll earn you a very stern disciplinary talk with not just your boss and your boss' boss, but probably also your boss' boss' boss, involving high-level damage control. Not to mention being instantly taken off that account and probably put on suspension, if not fired outright.

The absolute nerve of some people never ceases to amaze me.

The ongoing legacy of the food poisoning the other weekend is a catastrophic inability to handle ANY kind of greasy food. I had a lamb chop for lunch the other day and it may as well have been a big ol glass of pictolax.

I dropped from size 92 to 87 pants in under a day and it hasnt come back yet!

I had a really really nice Ruben long sandwich the other day. Could only eat half at lunch so thought I'd save the rest for a late night snack.

Queue the stomach twisting pain of something bad I ate a few hours after lunch.

Made smash burgers the other night and ate two (doubles) even tho I knew I would regret it and boy did I. I can usually get away with one. WHYYYY do I do this to myself :argh:

Crack open a can of bachelor chow.

When I'm home alone for a while I usually do the one big meal and eat leftovers. As pointed out that doesn't work for families. It doesn't work for my spouse.

I can get away with it for lunch though.

I did a brisket last night. Beautiful smoke ring, nice bark, and the point was perfectly moist.

I did not take pictures because I was busy piling it onto Hawaiian rolls and shoveling it into my face.

I’m also always shy about how my cooking looks. Partially because it seems like a lot of proud cooks are effing terrible - a guy I know posted pictures of his brisket to brag and it was rare. RARE BRISKET. He must have cut it with a saw. I’m scared that my cooking looks just as bad.

My wife gets annoyed with me when she asks me what I want for dinner and I say “whatever we have.” Side effect of being an omnivore who only dislikes a relatively few things. My wife and daughter are the picky eaters (though some of that is due to dietary restrictions - when the food you like doesn’t like you back.) Me, I eat almost anything that can’t escape.

I got poo poo a while back for some medium rare steak but idgaf. I think it just didn't photograph well, it was perfect. Just post it.

She's annoyed because coming up with dinner plans that are varied and interesting is a chore and she wants inspiration. Even if you don't care you have to contribute!
