    Just a PSA that a bunch of library services around Melbourne and Vic are running extended hours today to provide cool spaces for people. I know Mooney Ponds and Hobsons Bay are so assume a lot of them are doing the same.

      I like having a shower then standing outside with my turkish towel in the wind to dry. (Like Felicia on top of the bus in Priscilla, Queen of the desert style).

        Nope! I get no direct sun either, as my balcony faces the apartment building next door, but there鈥檚 no windows on that side of that building. A private balcony, when I can hang out nude and smoke joints #yolo 馃槀

          When I was in Egypt last it rained for about 10 mins. The rain evaporated the second it hit the ground.

          That was their rain for the week apparently.

            Pretty sure Rain Dance is usually men. I don鈥檛 usually claim because genetics and culture are not the same thing. It鈥檚 not unmessy in many ways.

    Second day back at work, called into boss鈥檚 office and told they鈥檙e not renewing my contract into a permanent role. Two years at this workplace, pushing myself to my absolute limit, but I guess because I don鈥檛 regularly work past 5 (coming in well before anyone else mind you), I鈥檓 not keeping my job.

    It鈥檒l be fine in the long run. We have some savings. But goddamn. Not looking forward to going on Jobseeker, hopefully I can get something quick.

      I just saw that! And Friday is shaping up to be a real danger day too. I convinced (didn鈥檛 take much) my whole team to WFH for the rest of the week at least (unless someone needs the A/C). About to go for a quick swim then lock down.
