Interview went well!!!

Invited to meet the ceo in person next week :)

If i get this, I'm done climbing the ladder. This is the role that will keep me with a safety net.

Something else happened this week which was cool. I reconnected with one of my best friends that I lost when I went off the rails. I found him on Facebook and apologised for my behaviour and he actually messaged me back saying "... I know that wasn't the real you".

It's been 12 years since we spoke. Tomorrow he's going to call me so we can catch up.

I've been struggling with feeling isolated the last few months. Wondering if it's going to be like this for the rest of my life.

I'm so fucking glad he responded. We were inseperable. He taught me to play drums and I taught him guitar.

I thought I'd share this story. I don't know why.

spoiler

My husband drank a lot of coca cola over the years. He loved the sound of a new bottle opening and would slug it down. He was also slightly overweight and had high blood pressure which he was taking medication for. No doubt he was heading for diabetes.

An off hand comment by me "you'd lose weight if you stopped drinking coke and curb the consumption of 2 icecreams a night" made him think.

He gave up the coke. He ate less icecream and as a result he lost 20kg in a matter of months. He did nothing else differently. It was so dramatic that people were asking him if he was ok. His medication was reduced, he gained abs and he could see his balls for the first time in a long time. His watch told him he has the fitness of a 20 year old. He's 50 next year. He feels great.

The thing is he replaced the coke addiction with a diet cordial addiction. No sugar he declares. I happen to read the back of the bottle and there's nothing in the nutritional panel but the ingredients were things I've never even heard of. I point this out to him. He says he has 5 bottles to get rid of. I told him he doesn't have to get rid of them straight away. Have it when you feel like it.

He is now looking at everything. "Why does my chips have sugar in them? Im not get these again".

The point is, its ok to have these things occasionally but if you wanna look and feel better have a look at things you mindlessly eat.

Duenan 10 points 2 years ago

I've had the same problem so to speak.

I switched up my diet inadvertently and also cut out a lot of sugary drinks and stuff and I've accidently lost weight because of that.

What's not so nice is that people think I've lost weight and there's a problem because of it.

I had to talk to someone the other day and explain that I am actually eating well and stuff and because of inflation and a few choices to not buy certain things any more it's led to my accidental weight loss.

I don't like having to discuss my weight at all and I also don't really pay attention to it but it bothers me and I made it known.

No one likes to talk face to face about their weight but dramatic weightloss makes people concerned that maybe cancer is involved.

Good on him. I cut the soft drinks many years ago when I started looking after my health, they're full of sugar and empty calories. I never crave soft drink anymore. Turned to diet drinks initially when making the switch, and then eventually you can cut those as well. The awful artificial chemical taste of most of them gets old quick. These days I go for ice tea if I want a sweet drink, but water does me fine.

I watched the Sugar Film with my husband. He knows I am using meal replacement and should have lactose free food

for the first two days he was all about looking at labels

then he bought more sweetened flavoured fruit yoghurt, lactose free this time

and he won't give up his sugary muesli and other snacks

I can understand it's hard to give up food yourself

but to buy lactose free fruit yoghurt when every other time he buys yoghurt just for himself ( because I won't buy it ) is just too much 🤨 I haven't touched it

Random memory: During the time Melbcat needed a lot of trips to emergency and before I had any help or the pram, a taxi driver refused to let her carrier in the car and demanded that she go in the boot. I can tell you that did not happen. I argued with the driver until he refused to take us, called another ride and then boycotted the taxi company.

This was for reasons of not wanting to put her in a dark claustrophobic airless space by herself, and separated from me. (There’s no reason the driver would have taken off with her but I didn’t want to even make that possible.) Also if the vehicle got hit from behind she would have been severely injured or killed. It was unsafe.

And now I see that what he was trying to push me into was illegal.

When I lived in Melbourne I had a pet cockatiel. I had to get yearly check ups, and the only Avian vet was out in Burwood, so taxi it was.

But every time I called to book a taxi, I told them I’m coming with a bird in a large cage and I could spill water. Just because I was worried about getting turned down for a ride.

FYI, the taxi drivers always loved it.

Made it back to Melbs.

Caught the 109 home from southern x. 109 is usually a c class. 2 middle floor bits swivel as it turns corners. Anyway my backpack clip got caught in the gap as it turned and I couldn't get it out. Clip was just swallowed by the floor disc of despair. So there I am every corner the tram turned trying to get the fuckin thing out.

We got there though! Otherwise would've had to have waited until box hill and get the driver to help lol.

I don’t have a cheese ranking but this one would be top 5. It’s a real soft buttery flavour combined with small chunks of jalapeño to keep it interesting.

It’s not too spicy at all so can be enjoyed by most people. You can eat this with anything so it’s a good workhorse cheese with a little bit of flair.

Hi there! Yes, some schools teach it, mostly private schools. That is, not the state run schools but the ones run by the churches (various) or by private organisations. The school I went to back in the 70s required study of at least one language, and Bahasa Indonesia was one of the choices available. The others were French German Latin & Spanish at that time - nowadays there's more focus on Chinese and Japanese. There's also been a lot of tourism from Australia to Indonesia for quite some time now - at least since the 70s and probably before. Some fairly strong trade links - one category of cattle for sale in northern Australia are officially classified as 'Light Indonesian Steers' and the price is reported on state media once a week.

I have spent $964.60 on coffees this year. As they've crept up from $3 to $4 to $5.30 over the last decade or so, I haven't noticed the difference it makes to overall finances.

If I had a club membership at the cafe where coffees were free, but annual membership cost $1k, I wouldn't take that up. Yet, it amounts to the same thing.

RustyRaven 7 points 2 years ago

The road to poverty is paved with lots of little expenses that don't seem too significant, but which add up to a lot.

At the same time we are not used to seeing the yearly totals of what we spend, so quite resonable spending can be perceived differently when looked at that way. Your brain is anchored to around $5 being a reasonable price for coffee, seeing $1K attached to the spending just feels wrong.

Sometimes going further and looking at the amount over years can have the opposite effect as you start comparing it to other big things - cut out coffee for 10 years and you could save $10K . So cutting coffee is not going to get you a house deposit, or a new car - it might get you one holiday, which you will deperately need after 10 years without coffee.

There are, and once you start adding in the calculations of compounding interest and comparing your daily coffee to number of years earlier you will be able to retire it all starts looking different again!

That's probably the main complexity of trying to make good financial plans, comparing and weighing all the different short term and long term priorities. Our brains tend to be wired to prioritise short-term interests, until we look back on our lives with hindsight and wish we had made other choices. I think my financial management was dramatically improved when I started budgeting for my full lifespan instead of just focusing on fairly short term spending - everything is about balancing costs and opportunities and picking which are the most important to you.

This is just the cafe expenses (bank statement merchant filter).
Besides home coffee, this number also misses the occasional 7-Eleven coffee I've bought through the year; but there'd only be a dozen or so of those. If we went to total coffee expenditure, I expect the overall total would be probably 1.5x this amount. On top of beans purchased for home, I'm partial to the occasional iced coffee milk thingy. There'd easily be a 50+ of those to throw into the mix.

As vices go, it's cheaper than alcohol or cigarettes - and less likely to kill me. I wouldn't call myself addicted to caffeine, but all evidence points to that declaration being suspect. I will say that I've had occasion to go without caffeine for a few days more than once and have never had the headaches people report from missing out on their coffee. Sadly, I also never get the 'energy boost' people are supposed to get from coffee.

RustyRaven 2 points 2 years ago

I'm absolutely addicted to caffeine. But if that was the only reason you were getting it you would be happy with any caffeine containing substitute, which is most likely not the case.

I think with things like coffee there are a lot of factors that go into why we want it. Caffeine and taste are the obvious ones, but there is also things like taking a break from work, the chance to walk away from your desk for a bit (maybe even outside, depending on your location), sometimes a social aspect if you chat with the barrista or people in the queue. Even just being able to pick up and drink for a micro-break from your work without feeling like you are doing nothing while your brain processes something can be important.

Once you add all of those things in buying coffee starts to look like a better deal (which is probably why so many people resist the idea of cutting it out to save money) but it can also help you to think of other ways to meet the needs it is fulfulling if you do want to cut it out.

I make puddings, it was my Grandma's recipe and it tastes sooo good. I make lots of little 1 cup sized ones and give them as gifts. There is a bit of quality control testing that occurs each year, just one from each batch.

That is true. A good fruit pudding is very expensive to make, so it's common for ingredients to be skimped on. Plus some have a wierd taste/texture - I think it's too much date or fig or something like that, it reminds me a lot of the vegan "treats" that some people seem to love but I find revolting.

The ones that have too much orange peel that makes it bitter. Can be fixed with more custard though.

Thornburywitch 2 points 2 years ago

Bought ones are horrible. Gotta be homemade and with decent ingredients. Omit all citrus peel if that's what's provoking the gag reflex. The mix of fruit is OPTIONAL - can use any dried fruit to make up the volume required. I like having apricot and dried cranberries in the mix but that's just me. My sister uses more sultanas than the Ottoman Empire at its height, dried mango and paw paw, and no currants at all. Both of us use whisky rather than brandy as such. Brandy belongs in the brandy butter to be served with it in our households.

The real joy of xmas pudding is Boxing Day breakfast, with slices of pud fried in a mix of equal quantities of brandy butter and orange juice, with custard. Perfect, I say perfect, hangover cure.

A bit sweltery out there already. I managed to get the back garden area mostly weeded and did some cutting back of overhanging trees and the bamboo.

I had a parsnip and carrots self seed in there early this year, so weeding has yielded me a basket full of carrot and parsnip (mostly parsnip). I think I'll be taking some of the parsnip up to the food cupboard, I doubt I'll be able to eat it all myself. If I can find enough enthusiasm to brave the heat and pick some more cherries I might take some of those up too, but right now I think it's way to hot and icky to contemplate it/

Now she seems to be somewhat in pain so I’m fretting a bit. Despite the vets saying that it was ok, it was a very safe spot and they can be a bit sooky after.

I had a meeting with a guy about my business offering. He's one of those outgoing, posts on LinkedIn types. He did one of those breakdowns on how your business could be a million dollar business in 5 years, which every business could be in theory.

My main takeaway is if I could capture 10% of the enthusiasm these sorts of people have, maybe I can cover my end of the mortgage and childcare without needing to dip into my own wages. Anything on top of that is a bonus.

I've sorted out all my plants and discovered I missed ordering one - or maybe I decided against it and forgot to take it off my plan, because I'm not sure it really fit the space I had down for it anyway.

I also received a free plant, but the label has partly rubbed off and I have no idea what it is. I've sent the company an email so will hopefully find out - I can't really plant it anywhere if I don't know how big it will get. I'm hoping to get a brief cooler period this afternoon to plant a few out, but I'll probably mostly be dodging storms and showers to get them in tomorrow and Sunday.

Apparently the way to practice intramuscular injections is on oranges and subcutaneous is on bananas. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7wFbxDqhNnQ

So looks like we’re going for the bananas. 🍌 💉

Torturing fruit wasn’t on my bingo card for this year but gotta get those nursing skills up. The worse time these bananas have the easier things will be for my cat. This will also be useful in future when she starts to need sub q fluids.

It’s just my nerves and my damn hands. Wondering if some thumb splints would help stabilise them.

Edit: Also why am I not allowed to save the video to my cat care playlist because it’s designated for kids? I mean… is this targeted content for children? Are they often required to watch veterinary training content? Wild.

I was told that surgeon school interview includes apple peeling. I happen to be excellent at that but I have no intention to become a surgeon.

Oh wow really? I can kind of peel an apple with a knife but it’s taxing on my hands and hard to do thin peels or long strips

Anyone got a good trifle recipe? I normally do a summer pudding for Christmas but we're doing a picnic and it doesn't travel well enough.

I stand by this one. It’s very nice. Sprinkle crushed nuts on top as well if you want some additional texture

The male flowers are dying fast, they had no pollen in them when I swabbed for it with a cotton bud, and the female flower that was literally about to open last night has already opened then somewhat closed like it’s on its way out. Are you for real right now?

There’s a garden on my block where their zucchini are setting fruit already and mine are just trolling me.

I wasn’t able to get my pumpkin and tomato seeds, they got forgotten and not brought. That’s ok though. There were higher priorities and I’m lucky I got help to get to the vet today
