Thomas the Dank Engine

This Gousto box has got something to happen that hasn’t in years. I’ve been doing proper cooking on consecutive days, and I have a fridge stocked with leftovers to eat the next couple of days. I would say on that basis, probably worth the money. I’ve always kind of struggled with this sort of thing, at least for a while. My first home in London had a huge kitchen which was very easy to make things in, but successive tiny flats have been harder and harder to do it.

It may be a Sunday night but I’ve cracked open a bottle of cider I’ve had in the fridge waiting for me all week. It’s M&S cider with blackberries and blackcurrants. Very nice.

Cheered myself up by making one of my Gousto recipes. Sausage, mushroom and spinach orzo!

SHOW US YER TITS, LOVE #RSPB

Anyone else craving hash browns today?

Do we really have to do this Monday nonsense again?

@miffyhelen@beige.party I’m bringing this gif out again

The saga continues. They’re now asking why parents can’t view the documents. BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE PERMISSION TO VIEW WHAT’S IN YOUR ONEDRIVE, AS EXPLAINED EARLIER.

One of my favourite new toys in the new car is cruise control. It’s kinda fun just letting the computer do the engine work for a bit.

@autoperipatetikos@neurodifferent.me that’s ok, I know you have a lot of stuff going on. The cake was the highlight to be honest, but still, it’s another day survived. Hope you’re doing ok!

Just after, head chef turned up needing some IT help. Always happy to help him, given he feeds me so well!

@MikeFromLFE@cupoftea.social Yes indeed, which is probably the reason for pragmatically saying that it wouldn’t apply to existing stuff, just potential new orders. Much easier doing the process the other way in the early 90s!

If anyone needs me, I’ll be having a scream in the server room.

@miffyhelen@beige.party congratulations, I have fallen in love.

Called it, come home. Think I’ve made the right call given how crap the drive made me feel coming back.

Time to party* like it’s Friday night! *wallow in my own sadness

@gavin57@toot.wales I use Delete Apps from the App Store. It works well enough for what I need it to do usually. Anything it can’t delete itself, it gives you a direct link to it so you can do the deletion and it’ll confirm it once done https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/delete-apps-uninstaller/id1033808943?mt=12

@barnetboy@cupoftea.social A more modern version of what I had before, a Dacia Sandero.

@IanAMartin@thecanadian.social unlikely, they love taking any opportunity to not replace people and save money if they think they can get away with it.

I feel like I’m losing brain cells just reading this stuff.

I have way too many thoughts that get posted here. Sorry about that. I should be more less.

Maybe I am coming down a little ill, my shoulders are starting to ache. That or I’m just so tense at the moment that I’m doing this to myself

@miffyhelen@beige.party oh Mara Jade, you charmer, you

I am very mentally checked out this morning.

@greem@cyberplace.social @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I *wish* I was that relaxed, frankly.

@feritae@universeodon.com @miffyhelen@beige.party it’s about the level of conversation Helen and I have so sounds about right

Should I be concerned that post nationalisation, I’m unable to log into my careers portal account with the train company I’m under consideration for?

I have a funny feeling my manager is being lined up for a job with the wider group IT team. Well, I’m fucked. I mean, he’s not always a good manager and most of the stuff gets dumped on me, but if he goes, it’s just me somehow having to deal with this shite alone and I have no interest in that.

In a way, I regret taking the old car to the garage to be looked at. It was booked in for the 21st, already two weeks on from its death, and now several days on from that, I’ve heard nothing. I feel like I was better off just getting it taken home, pull the last of my stuff that I need from it, and get something done with it. In the end, I feel like the scrapping route is inevitable.

@autoperipatetikos@neurodifferent.me I have chocolate cake so the day might be picking up. We’ll see. Could use a splash of cream though

Just gonna slam my head into desk. New Marketing woman had been pestering me about a video not playing on her laptop. Been running round in circles trying to make it play, it relies on HEVC, eventually got VLC to show something but the computer struggled with it. She’s moaning how playing video is important, so I get her to try a different video as I suggested in the first place to help me diagnose the issue. Works fine. IT WAS JUST THIS ONE FLIPPING VIDEO

I tried, anyway. Ah well. Extra Sunday in bed for me.

@miffyhelen@beige.party that’s exactly the kind of disgusting pervert he is. I bet he’d love it.

I swear my “office” is making me feel a bit unwell again. It’s warm, it’s uncomfortable, there are no windows, and can’t forget the fact that it’s a storage cupboard. I’ve had to step away to the staff sitting room with a drink for a few minutes.

@miffyhelen@beige.party bloody good question. I feel like he’d be classy and do mushroom and ricotta, but at the same time I reckon he loves a cheeky meat feast and really surprises people by letting his hair down

@MikeFromLFE@cupoftea.social there was maybe a bit too much spinach for me in my dish but it was alright. Not strong punchy flavours but that’s not what the dish was about

They’ve let the kids run wild hunting for hidden members of staff around the school. I’ve just been interrogated by a group of them convinced I was one of them (I’m not, and no, I have no idea where anyone’s hiding, I’m just doing my IT tasks)

@cait@anarres.family maybe they are though? Too powerful to be contained

@miffyhelen@beige.party I reckon he’d be a charmer and say that the food didn’t matter because it was time with you

RE: https://mastodonapp.uk/@ianvisits/117349182374305147 This is interesting and something I had been wondering about how GBR works, whether ownership of the stock would come into their hands again.

I have way too many feelings at the moment.

@miffyhelen@beige.party the real life hack is in the comments

@keefeglise@mastodonapp.uk is this another husband drift? Or sanctioned activity?

Currently contemplating how much coasting I can do from now until 5pm. Not enough, I think. Still, I’ve closed some tickets, what more do you people want from me?

@miffyhelen@beige.party do you think if we emailed his agent, we’d get an answer. Maybe he likes a garlic focaccia
