My Proxmox is acting up

My light switches don't even work when it's offline.

It wasn’t a good one yesterday.

Then just now I wanted to do the neglected dishes with the mini dishwasher I never got around to selling. Who cares if they’re covered in soap after, I’m not very hungry. I just want them cleaned and put away. …It broke.

Edit: Black cat came by again

about the dishes, when miss seagoon stayed she wanted Fairy dishwashing tablets, said they worked better , and rinse aid

here's the thing, I rinse all the gunk off dishes before hand, she doesn't

I have been using eco brands that have no perfumes

I was really put off by the strong perfumes in the main brands

so you are not alone in this and not OCD, it really is unacceptable how strongly perfumed every thing is

and black cat is ok, he is still figuring things out, Bill hid and wouldn't let anyone touch him for six weeks. Now he's devoted to everyone and we to him. Black cat will be ok. As will you. 😘

The dishwasher threw an E4 error and won’t stop making a pumping noise even after off and on, probably overfilled due to a sensor error. Maybe flooded something internal. May not resolve and I don’t want to risk trying to repair it myself. I probably can’t sell it now and third party = warranty nightmare if it’s still valid. If it doesn’t work again I’ll dispose of it when I get time and take the loss.

I don’t know what to do with him. I’m busy cleaning but will print the posters and ask for help sticking them up. I may assemble the enclosure just to have an emergency spot ready if he gets injured or cannot stay out there, but I need to slow my roll and likely can’t keep him.

Spicy tuna sandwich with coleslaw please

Alrighty.

1 in person 3rd stage interview

2 first stage phone interviews.

Let's see what happens.

Edit:

My right ear has been blocked for a week and a half and I just got it cleaned.

It is fucking GLORIOUS to not constantly hear myself breathing.

I have the other side of things where I fall asleep at 9pm and wake at 3am. I think we're both looking for that elusive 11pm to 6am golden window.

Most of the time I'd rather smell the odour than the perfume.

🌶️🐟🥪🥗🥕

Meanwhile I crashed at 8:30 so hard I woke up at 11pm thinking it was morning and struggled to get back to sleep!

I'm struggling with a 6-630 wake up cause mornings are dark again.

What an awesome feeling that is!! I need to get mine done, they're so close to blocking up. Good luck with the interviews!

Someone has stolen my doormat.

…I have questions

Was it a nice doormat?

There's this American guy (or maybe Canadian, I'm no good at telling the accents apart) sitting in the co-working open plan area today (in a group of 4) and he is literally SHOUTING his conversation. Non-stop talking since I arrived. I will be getting no work done today. I think I'm going to move for the day instead of asking them to STFU, I don't feel like a confrontation.

I like my new car. It’s fun to drive, looks cute, sounds great.

I used to have sleep patterns like that. I found when there wasn't anything forcing me to be up at any particular time I'd keep about a 26-28 hour day, going to bed and getting up a couple of hours later each day. The rotational shift work I'm doing worked fairly well with that, doing two 12 hour day shifts followed by two 12 hour night shifts, then four days off to reset.

I found that the patterns changed as I got older though - I went through a period where I stopped being able to stay up overnight and changed to doing all day shifts, and have now moved back again to the rotating shifts which are working ok again, but I'm finding it harder to sleep during the day than I used to.

I always found the most important thing is to not stress about when I 'should' be sleeping, or how much sleep I should get. I also cycle through periods where I seem to need around 10 hours sleep a night and others where I only seem to need 5 or 6. I try to just let my body do what it wants as much as I can within the constraints of work etc. and not stress about it too much. If I start to think about it too much it just adds another thing to be circling my brain and stop me from getting to sleep.

I really don't like all of those automatic things. I like simple controls that I am in control of. It was one reason I resisted updating my car for so long, and only did when I realised I could get a van that didn't have all those extras as standard. It's not just the beeps and stuff either, too much in the way of sensors in everything make repairs a lot more expensive.

Your building is.....interesting.

I wonder what it could possibly be used for?

Oh yes

Not particularly. Generic, used doormat

Some people will steal anything that's not bolted down (and sometimes they'll steal that too, along with the bolts).

I find it easier to deal with such despicable acts if I anthropomiphise to a ridiculous degree - your doormat has just reached an age where it wants more independence and has set off to travel the world. It's out there somewhere living it's best life, getting to experience other doorsteps and being stepped on by a wide array of interesting people.

It's,a good doormat and all, but like...it's a doormat. A used, generic doormat

10-7? I've got better chances of winning the lottery.

Canuks tend to be less cunty like that, sounds American to me.

My mate has a watermelon doormat which has since turned into a Free Palestine symbol.

Highly recommend doing it. It's awesome!

And thanks! I've had one already which was OK. The in person is at 1pm then another call at 3pm.

That's a puzzler alright.

True for the most part. There are assholes amongst us, but we tend to be quieter in public.

Yanks don't have indoor voices.

When IT are the ID10T...

In happier news, one of my neighbours has an assistance dog in training, and I've just witnessed him doing something very impressive.

Abraham (and the L-Plates On His Harness) is figuring out lift buttons. He can call the elevator

Canadians are polite, they would never do that.

maybe just keep doing what you're doing with him

I too like simple and elegant

Maybe. I just find the status quo pretty stressful with the ringworm

That was a very enjoyable afternoon class, and the plate is now my fruit bowl in the kitchen. It doesn't feel like seven years ago. I spent a couple of months long service leave staying at home and doing lots of classes and activities locally, it was a lot of fun.

think I'll go into the city and get some walking exercise and do a few errands

I don't deny the news lately, life lately, has been tough, and it's hard to get motivated

That's so pretty!! That sounds like a great way to use lsl. I want to try one of those painting or pour sessions.

Incidental exercise is great, walking around the shops all adds up! But I hear you on the motivation. It’s an ongoing struggle for me, and external events don’t help. I’m envious of people who are always full of drive and energy. For me it’s having to push myself through the day, every day. I don’t have any solutions.

Looks professional!

In person went OK. We'll see what happens.

People are weird.

Good luck!

I hope today is a better day. You’re allowed to be firm with the rescue person. They probably mean well and don’t know how stressful this is for you. ‘I can’t right now, and please don’t pressure me further’ is perfectly ok to say.

Coming at you from the new vacuum cleaner phone
