There has been a Lemmy upgrade. I presume the red line is there to stop the comments accidentally sliding off the side of the screen.
Someone bought new wallpaper for the joint.
I'm hungry, but also really tired and don't want to have to cook food. Where are the robot servants we were supposed to all have by now?
Maybe I can muster up enough energy to cut up a carrot.
Have I been shadow banned already? My comments haven’t shown up all day.
Sodding Flybuys.
I was doing the spend $50 for 4 weeks promo at Coles except I did week 3 online and they omitted an item which took it under the total. I phoned Flybuys and was told by the CS rep that she'd done an override and all I had to do was phone them when the points for week 4 came in.
So of course when I phone I get clueless CS rep who couldn't find my details, my week 3 points or any details of the previous interaction and "The points weren't added because it was an online transaction" and "I'll have to send in the receipt." Which I just did and got the generic 'we will endeavour to answer your query within 5 business days'. Sure, Jan.
Gah, last thing I need today.
Cut myself slightly on my finger with a paperclip trying to unzip a stuck zipper.
Right where I bend my finger as well. Just to add to feeling down today. :(
Three weeks of shit tipping has knocked me off top spot in the work comp. My heart breaks
Snuck home at lunch to avoid pub time at work. Cosy in PJs with some popcorn and my housemate playing ff16.
Man, I wish we didn't have to go into office.
Saturday’s thread has been created
Anyone else here buy from FairFeed? What're your thoughts on their customer service?
I’ve realised a random thing about myself: I hate when people make “observations” about me and tell me. People do it a lot about my style. I guess I like to look nice, but have a fairly simple style and a clear colour palette because I don’t like to buy lots of clothes, so people often say things like, “You really like to wear X colours don’t you?”
It’s the kind of comment that isn’t a compliment so maybe I’m just defensive but it feels like a judgement or I’m being asked to explain myself and it sets me on edge. I don’t know how to respond either.
They are probably just trying to bond and show they’ve noticed but my whole life I’ve attracted unwanted attention and commentary on my appearance so it’s annoying to me. Do other people have their appearance and clothes commented on a lot? Is that just something people do? It never occurs to me to say such a thing to someone else unless I’m giving a compliment or being like, “Ooh is that a new jacket?”
Hmm. I dont really get what the diff is between you asking if thats a new jacket and soneone asking if you like particular colours?
I've started my uni subject, which is currently all about plant identification. There are so many new terms. It's making my head fuzzy.
