I delivered eggs to a friend and then they gently informed me that I'd put my foot right on the dismembered remains of a dead rat and anyway now I have to clean my boots.

Post a picture meme etc
A picture of Christopher Luxon standing in front of a New Zealand flag looking smug. Behind him and to his right is a sign language interpreter. There is a 1 news logo in the top right and the closed captioning says "[scoffs]".

For uni I put my preferred name as... my preferred name, and it's so satisfying to have all my logins show that name, and have all my course facilitators and advisors call me by that name. I don't *hate* my legal name but it definitely feels artificial.

I have been building a grab-and-go type shtf/evacuation bag (okay I've been building a few) and trying to decide how to give it away. Random draw? Raffle and try to recoup some of the cost? Point in a random direction and throw?

The Problem With Tuesdays is that after thirteen-plus hours in the office, by the time I get home I am WIDE AWAKE and want to STAY AWAKE when I should probably be going to bed but OH NO MY BODY IS AWAKE it's SO AWAKE

Tuesday Late Dinner thoughts: the doctor told me to cut the fat off my meat, but she didn't say not to eat the fat after I cut it off. This may have been an oversight.

Have to complain to my bank tomorrow because their MFA stopped working (i.e. requiring authentication) just because unbeknownst to me the mobile app needed an update. Nothing happened but this is NOT a Good Security.

Every time I am thinking about donating to the Greens, they send me another email about how it's URGENT and CRITICAL and THE FATE OF THE COUNTRY IS AT STAKE!!! and I've gotta say, as others have said, that doesn't motivate me. Joy and hope motivate me.

I made a doctor's appointment and then foolishly neglected to put it in my work calendar and OF COURSE every fool and his dog (okay, a group of three people) booked a meeting with me for that exact time.

Finished Seaside Market; getting ready to go set up for tomorrow's Spring Market. If you are in central Ōtautahi tomorrow with free time between 10 and 4, swing by Te Pae Convention Centre for something like 180 stalls of locally made crafts (including, most importantly, ME!)

The other day I went to buy some raffle tickets and the girl selling them said "$2 each or 3 for $5" and I said "ok I'll take 6" and she looked ABSOLUTELY PANICKED until I said "$10" and then she thanked me for doing the maths for her and anyway we're all fucking doomed.

Was looking up parking for my market tomorrow and then I realised I can technically buy a student parking permit so I did that and it's much cheaper if you ignore the cost of my uni fees.
