Gibson day 2
Her fivehead 😂😂😂
You did some serious over shopping prep didn’t you? 😺
You have no idea lol
Very cute. Would last maybe 3 weeks with my confetti monsters!
She went through it once and that’s it. Took me sooooo long to put together lol
Oh dear. Bit of a situation where the box being more fun than the toy does not exactly pan out
Clearly a thinker
Eeeeeee!
she’s so tiny 😻
Got an interview tomorrow lol
Perfect timing.
Definitely a good idea to keep the momentum going after today’s news!
100% Spoke to a few people today. Everyone i spoke to feels the same. They’re actively on seek on their phones at work lol
These are management people.
if management are fleeing the sinking ship then I would too.
The director (of the company that was bought out) admitted to me at the xmas party that she was burnt out and wanting to quit. The new company treat her like shit apparently.
Good luck buddy. Hope it goes well!
Thanks mate I appreciate it :)
Ted looking cute again, this time sprawled on the two ikea storage tables 🙂
Fluffy boy!!!
Cheers guys 🍺
Cheers :)

CHEEEEEEEEEEEERS!!! 🍻🥃🍻🥃🍻 (extra loud cos it has to cross the sea)
No worries cuz 🍺
Cheers

Oh noes … Came home a bit early so I could regroup and finish off the years tasks quietly. 20 min nap on couch became 2 hour DEEEP sleep with random nightmares and now my neck is cricked and I am discombobulated.
Yep. That was 2024 in a nutshell
add in being disabled by sciatica for months and that’s my year too
( but been an amazing year for personal emotional growth and I’m so lucky to have mr seagooon 🥹 )
Naw. Here’s to Mr Seagoon. 🍺
🍻
🍻
I think you just summed up my 2024 also.
I felt this comment in my nerve damaged shoulder
Ted is so happy sleeping on the terrace among the vegie planters
I know this is an unusual thing to say, but you have beautiful floors
Thanks. That’s just wood tiles I put down on the concrete, they take a fair amount of work to up keep but are worth it. They keep the terrace a cool comfortable place rather than a brick and stone hot box
IT outage at the hospital, waited 2+ hungry and uncaffeinated hours for my scopes to be cancelled. 💀 I’m declaring today Taco Overload Tuesday to celebrate.
oh no! did you have to do “the prep”?
Sure fucken did! All for naught. Nobody’s fault really – I might have been a bit short with the Dr who broke the bad news. Sorry doc. Your skirt was fierce af though.
BRUH! So you gotta do it again?! FUUUUUUUUUUUCK off with that
Yes, unfortunately there is another 2L of putrescent “lemon” flavoured slop in my not-too-distant future.
Oh nooooo. You’ve somehow locked a worse level below eviscerating your guts for bowel prep - doing it TWICE in succession. My sympathies.
Oh you have my absolute sympathy. So frustrating.
That sounds nice. The taco selection around my place is woeful. What is your go to taco ? Do you make your own?
My budget extends to $3 the tacos from GyG and I am current gorging on them. And a full sugar coke.
Oh that sucks! You deserve those tacos
Flexing hydrangeas.
I love hydrangeas ❤️ I have a few, but none the size of dinner plates like yours!
Stunning! I know from experience these are not easy to grow! Tried various locations but was always too sunny or too shady. And I was never great at keeping them as well watered as they need. I’ll just admire other people’s skills!
morning sun, afternoon shade
and lots of high mineral fertilizer, don’t cut back in autumn, cut in early spring when they have buds
I used to grow them 🙂
Oh that’s so luxe. Nice job with the pH (?) variation too.
I regret getting in contact with my Aunty to settle things.
She tells people that I’m the nice one I’m the family but I just choose not to get into conflicts.
She texts me this.
“I haven’t got any replies to my emails. You better tell your cousins to hurry up to have settlement by blah blah date”
Dunno if I’m reading into too much but it does t sound very nice and feels like she’s pressuring me to rush them.
Family conflict over property issues is the worst. Brings out a real nasty side of people. I hope like hell it’ll go smoothly in my family
I’d like to see it resolved soon but not with messages like that. It’s very demanding I feel and she’s supposed to be the executor of the will.
There’s already been major conflict in the family with the contesting of the will and some legalities that had to play out and she dumps it all on me because I’ve chosen to stay neutral as much as I can.
It just takes one person to make wills and estates hell .
Yeah nah. Still made in Australia. Cheeky buggers.
Well I guess we DO have a history of claiming New Zealanders as our own, so it’s only fair =)
Bullshit. Give me an example? 😂
Macca’s have a kiwi burger out. Something about beetroot and egg being kiwis best combo since the 90s something something. It was implied the kiwis thought up this brilliant combo. I don’t even like beetroot and I saw red. 🤬
As a fellow beetroot-hater I’d also still be annoyed at that!
The young Seagoons tell me everything is so expensive in NZ and many things are just unavailable.
A friend of ours has a NZish missus so they went to live there for a while. He said it was so expensive that their main form of entertainment was going for a walk
The touristy places and attractions are.
they were talking about groceries
Ohhh I just thought of something I meant to ask you to keep an eye out!! Have you seen a Lasagne Topper’s anywhere?! They’re this batshit little fried slab of beef and cheese and I didn’t learn about them until after my last trip there!
No I haven’t but that does appeal to me.
It appears I have a cold on my last day here. 😔 The good news is my fam will look after me real well. 🙂
The kiwis have given you a parting gift of germs? How rude of them. Hopefullly the plane trip back isn’t too uncomfortable!
😂
It’s very early days so not so bad yet.
Have you ever seen a more majestic breakfast? 240g steak, 1 avocado, one smallish zucchini, 200g mushroom, two runny yolk eggs. Butter, salt, pepper. And now I won’t eat until tomorrow! I also won’t get hungry til then either
spoiler
The only thing you’re missing are some hash browns!
But that has carbs 😭
Denying yourself potat takes a lot of willpower, I doff my sweaty bucket hat to you
It’s glorious. Just out of curiosity; if you were to go out to a steak house for dinner, would you cut the entire steak into strips before eating?
No. Only reason I do it is to avoid using a plate.after it’s rested I cut it on the chopping board and dump it back into the pan
I didn’t mean anything untoward about it mind I’ve been seeing a trend over the last year or so on Reddit food subs in which people pre cut steak. I occasionally ask why and receive some odd answers.
Your reasoning makes the most sense because you don’t have a plate to wash.
Colesworth et al have been pushing this for a couple of years now. It’s a way to stretch 2 steaks over 3 or 4 people without them noticing or feeling deprived, courtesy of catering magic. Check out any of the coles or woollies magazines over the last 2 years - all the steaks are pre-cut into strips. It’s becoming normal to not serve any one person a whole steak all to themselves. And the supply of steak on the bone has dropped dramatically in the stupormarkets.
We approve.
🤤🤤🤤
That looks amaaazing! Hope it was just as tasty as it looked!
Delicious
Daaaaaaamn.
Wow! 😲
I is impressed.
Who’s an idiot who thought it’d be overcast and left their bedroom blinds partly open and window wide open. No prizes for guessing.
I am being taught over and over again THOU SHALT ALWAYS LEAVE THE BLINDS DOWN AND WINDOWS CLOSED before leaving for work. No exemptions. Boiling.
Met up with some old colleagues which was nice - kind of really tied a neat bow on that chapter, one year on - now to catch up on 2.5 hrs of work and call it a day.
No prizes
No you get an icypole too. We’re all winners here.
You’re the best bottom racer (maybe that makes you a top racer).
Refuse to turn on ac so ice pack against forehead and neck it is. Might have another nerve jolting cold shower.
So. This morning we find out that the awesome manager will no longer be leading our team.
As I mentioned a bit earlier today, she’s the main reason I’ve stuck it out.
Let’s see where the new year will lead. Probably out of this place.
Where are they going? And have they decided who will lead your team?
Stepping back to mainly do director work and the new leader is some lacky from the larger org.
ah good. so they are gonna piss off the clients as well. Brilliant. Why is the company attempting to speed run bankruptcy?
Because they’re now owned by a group of investment bankers. Word is they’ll squeeze every last drop of profit from it and sell it off.
I’m progressing to the next stage with this job. I don’t know if it’s what I want to do but if I got an offer I feel like I shouldn’t knock it back. I just don’t want to end up in a similar situation where I’m out in a year’s time because it didn’t work out
I’m progressing to the next stage with this job
Is that like bases? Like Stage 1 is just a bit of the over-the-resume action?
🤣🤣🤣
A bit of going over the resume with one guy. Stage two will have more people involved, and if they dig your vibe you get brought into the polycule of the business
And if it does work out?
It would be nice if it did, but I see too many similarities to old roles
Good luck mate:)
If I do end up getting this one I hope it works out. I just haven’t found a private sector job as chill as the government jobs I’ve had
