I’m looking for a new ISP and checked what Superloop is offering and they appear to have a business model from a decade ago. They charge shipping if you get a modem from them. You have to give 30 days notice if you’re cancelling to go to another ISP. You have to phone them to give the notice.

How am I meant to save money when there is a 20% off sale at Popcultcha (https://www.popcultcha.com.au/)?

I swear half of the stuff Myer advertises for sale online doesn’t get sent by them. They appear to have slowly pivoted to being a big dropshipper.

I take a staged approach to things.

Watching the tow truck driver who parked in front of a car and as soon it hit 4pm he was putting it on the back of his truck. Expensive mistake for the P player.

I had some time to kill in Melbourne this morning so wandered into the naarm ngarrgu Library near the Queen Victoria Markets. I sat with the retirees and read an actual newspaper. It’s been ages since I read the news the old fashioned way! The library was just lovely and a warm, welcoming and quiet space.

On my way to a managers forum “designed to help everyone get to know each other in our new structure”. Anyone scheduling something at work as a getting to know you session should be forced to start with the song (https://youtu.be/Vlx6gQWfjp0).

Did it help today? No. Did I have to do it in my head rather than out loud. Yes. Did I feel better? Yes.

🚗 My morning routine currently involves coffee and reading EV reviews. I nearly set up a spreadsheet yesterday to track things but pulled myself up before I disappeared completely down the rabbit hole.

Prepared for back to back meetings nearly all day.

I’m a big fan of a morning wine.

Decided to treat myself to some more Doctor Who collectibles. I will now spend the next week deciding if I should open the packaging or keep it intact to retain value. After a week I’ll sigh and decide it’s bad luck for whoever inherits my estate because I’m never selling them. They will then get removed from their boxes and put with all the others. #DoctorWho

I’ve put the warning out; don’t make me tap the sign. It’s only Thursday and I’m very done with this week. The daily mood secret Santa gift from about a decade ago is still used every work day to indicate what reception you might get. I do like the synonym and antonym it has on the back for Grumpy. Synonym: Oscar the Grouch Antonym: Tickle-Me Elmo
