Today, I thought I should share that my insignificant moment of the day was...


Working away and have a customer pop her head in,
seeing that I wasn't 'important-looking' like the other Employees and before I could say just a pleasant 'customer friendly' "Hello" - she had already moved on (not at all interested in the 'product' that I was working on compared to the others. Yep - I knew my place in the team.  Most come in and have a look, or have a quick chat - nearly all just nod or say "Hi" at least. I just kept working as usual.

We love you

I washed my dog today.

I read some more of my new book on my kindle.

It's got a dragon in it.

I ate some cheesecake, baked.

I mowed and picked caterpillars off my beautiful tomatoes.

They're still going which is strange. Global warming perhaps? I'm fairly close to the coast so that helps. I'd say I've got a month left. A bit longer for the cherries.  :)

Picking the stink bugs
The lemon tree more happy

The frost will get them unless your to far north for that.
I nearly washed my car today, looked like there was going to be a shower though so I wisely called it off.

I got squirted in the eye by ones acid piss one time. Nearly blinded me. We burn them with one of those long stove lighters. It's great fun. It's one of my favourite pastimes.

I once blew up a bullants nest with a pipe bomb. We filled up a piece of copper pipe with a bunch of gunpowder from firecrackers. It blew a hole about 6 inches deep in the middle and every ant on the mound was gone. The ants  littered the surrounding bush like wounded soldiers. It most have been like an atomic bomb going off for the little buggers. ;D ;D

As an occasional pastime I would nestle a tin can over there nest, come out the next morning and lift the can to see hundreds smothered, no need for napalm or gun powder.

I'm with Rhino.

You know what they say about kids who torture and kill animals.

Got home from work tonight. Showered. Surfed the 'net. Got into bed to watch a tv show on dvd. Fell asleep 15 minutes into the show, and woke up 10 minutes later. I know I was dozing and can remember parts of the show as it played. Woke up a little bit more refreshed, and decided to skip back to the scene I last saw. Figured the 10 minutes I slept through were not critical to the story, after repeating the scenes. Finished the show and got up for a walk. Then I started calculating how many hours I have played computer games, particularly one of them. Then thought about the days I would spend drinking all afternoon and rocking out the night. Then all the time I would watch a movie over and over, throughout the years. These last 11 years have really been the laziest years of my life. Have I really lived?

Just about every little boy pulls wings off flies or something similar.  If they graduate from insects to mammals it's a worry.

I went to an asian grocery shop, bought some rice and some Kim chi.

I got quite a good car park by woolies.

Nope I grew up with two brothers who never got their rocks off torturing anything. I've had plenty of male friends and boyfriends who never tortured anything. I'm the mother of a compassionate son who has never hurt anything.

You would have been thought a cruel bastard by your peers when I was a kid. Killing something outright with no pain was one thing, but getting pleasure from slowly mutilating and torturing a creature that is capable of feeling pain reveals a sick mind.

Probably the same as a classroom kite, pull a hair out and tie it to it, pin the hair to your desk. Probably have to pull a girls hair out these days with all the metros.

Kids experiment with killing insects and it's within the scope of normal development.  If they do it too much or graduate to higher life forms it's a problem.

Liquid paper over one eye. I didn't do it myself but have seen it done. I like cicadas btw but still find it amusing when my dog eats them live and I can hear them chirping going down his neck.

From my experience, you are wrong. We used to make walks, stick tom thumbs down ant holes, etc, we grew out of it and don't strap explosives to our bodies and kill people like they were ants.

In countries without supermarkets anything that can be eaten is just food. Zero though is given to its wellbeing.

You said most people respect animals. In my vast travels I've found that's simply not the case. I've seen all kinds of animals skinned, chopped up and roasted alive and the only thought is what beverage to enjoy it with.

It's normal behaviour.

In don't believe animals  (or humans) have a soul. A blue whale is a more complex design than a fruit fly so therefore it's a higher life form.

It's clean, the people are polite, they make great knives and even appreciate a gaijin picking them up off the road and putting them in a taxi when they are wasted from what my son says. He's only been back 2 weeks from his last trip. They went over for the cherry blossoms and his wife's birthday.

Yep, a good job cannot be rushed.

Once it's cleaned, it might be a year till the next clean. So important to 'get it right' the first time.

How do you stand the pressure?

You must be tough.

Finally installed new hoses on the washing machine today.

We got a pin hole in the cold hose last Monday, the boss and the daughter have been at me since then to fix it.

There was no way I was going to do it after work, so I kept telling them I'll do it tomorrow, got to Saturday morning.

I went and bought the hoses, that was enough work for saturday.

Sprint you don’t understand my pain.

Shopping for the hoses was an exhausting 3 hour episode of my week end including a 50 minute lunch break with the boss at the shops and looking around for other things I and she wants.

The hoses are connected under the basin, changing the hoses over with some teflon tape is not but a 5 minute job, taking out all the rubbish the boss has under there (a million and one things) that is the real problem, not to mention my wide shoulder’s and laying down on the tiles to connect and disconnect.

All up it took me about 45 minutes of my weekend to leave it as I found it with a tea break in between.

That’s 3hours and 45 minutes of my weekend gone, just like that.

So I hope you can appreciate the inconvenience.... :P

They'll enjoy a Winter in Tasmania when you get them moved there, then, won't they?

Or perhaps you could decide that Alice Springs is also a worthy re-location?  It "snows" there too, you know.

So what did you do today Jasin, you started this.

My insignificant moment of the day, that had no bearing on my existence at all in any way...

...was beep my horn at someone over-squeezing past me via a merging lane, over the speed limit. They made it past me, though they used a fair bit of the side of the road to do it.

I am going to wash my car tomorrow, I got the hose ready today.

When you say you got the hose ready; does that mean you attached it at the tap or uncoiled it or what? Hurry up and tell us.

I went to Bunnings today just to say hi to the door greeter.

The latest BOM forecast is suggesting a shower or two, instinct tells me I should hold off for another day, I just put the hose away Just in case, I am looking at Thursday now.

hammer - I have a constructed a chart showing when 'jeez' had intended to wash the car, then conditions were poor.

Am getting some vectors together predicting when 'The Event' will happen.
It factors in tides, horse races and when my neighbour takes out his wheelie bins.

As long as 'jeez' does not look, shall I post the expected date here ?

Sprint, my guess is the work will happen over at least three days.
Day 1. Wash
Day 2. Vacuum
Day 3. Polish windows and interiors. 
I predict there will be rest days in between. I'll  say the 8th of June for scheduled  completion. How'd I do?

Amazing.

I was thinking of an 8 in the final answer.
Not sure if that was the hour, day, week, month or year.

So anyway, we have settled on '8'

My insignificant moment for the day was looking out the kitchen window into the back yard and seeing three women talking about the two toy poodles out there with them. It seemed very serious, one had a splinter in it's toe.

The hose usually reaches to the other side.

I got petrol today, I used the pump pay thing so I didn't have to talk to the servo guy but the payment system made me have to press skip twice,  no I don't have a bugger myer card.  No I don't have a flybys card.

Nearly as bad as talking to the servo guy.

Make you buy more than you were going to? Oooh, Yeah, pump me baby! And before you know it your bowser has clicked off because the tank is full. Oooh, baby, you filled me up, yeah. That will be $200, $80 for the fuel and $120 for my services.

My biggest debate for the day was to remind a service station attendant that back in the day I could fill up my car for $16. People used to whinge about $1/L petrol to fuel the car. Then, 10 years later, a 20c/L price drop in fuel saw motorists again paying $1/L. This time, motorists were happy to pay that much and how wonderful it is to have such a saving.

I remember being able to fill up my ZB Fairlane's 16 gal tank for $9. Just remind them Coke or bottled water costs more than petrol. 12c@ litre I think it was.

Is true, when I open the throttle out on the highway and let them horses free and nudge 60MPH it is pure exhilaration, the speed wobble is a bit of a concern at that speed though, what the hell, I am like Mad Max behind the wheel of my machine, my shiny machine.

I did watch someone pull up to a petrol pump with its 'cakehole' on the other side of the car last week.
As I stood there, pumping away, into my cakehole.
Watching this person trying to stretch the pump around then over (hatchback) their car to reach for a successful pump. Then restart the car and move it closer, but to no avail after some stuttering movements.
I had finished pumping and then watch them drive out of the servo, onto the road then back into the servo upon a corrected side of a pump.

The attendant laughed when I walked in to pay (never buy anything else from those rip-off places) and said that the pump wouldn't reach because the person didn't notice that it was hooked behind one of the other pumps that were hooked up.

He asked me if I would like to buy anything else. They had discount coffee cups with a buy 2 chewy packs.
I said "No"
...I guess they never notice that their Petrol is a rip-off as well.

Did the winter shopping for the family today.

Nothing insignificant about what it cost.

I still haven't had sex since the back seat of my car at Hanging Rock car-park back in 2011.

Did you enjoy yourself at least, JaSin?

Yes - never done something like that before.
But it did cost me my marriage though.  :-[

I just washed black beauty, she was a bit dusty, only people with black cars will appreciate what I'm talking about, its one of the hardest colors to keep clean.

I'm going to take her for a spin  with the boss down the beach, might stop of for a chocolate gelati and then walk it of on the pier.

Then I'm, going to come back and watch the pies kick some docker arse while the boss russells up some grub.

It's a beautiful day in Melbourne.

Paid $300 for a new seatbelt. Paid a year's Rego (Greenslip) and as I pulled out of the RMS
...my ute began to rattle and cut out.
I decided to hobble-it the 1km back to work with hazard lights around 4 round-abouts (engine would cut out) - but hazard lights off while I did this, so as to not confuse the 'busy' traffic.
Boss was talking to customers as I limped it in and I asked to borrow a car.
With 635,000kms on it, I may have bung a valve and hopefully not a piston.

I'm not phased though. I'm used to this (bad luck) and its just a walk in the park for me these days.  ;)

I went for a run this morning with my oldest hoodie that I use for painting.

All the posh dog walkers looked down their nose at me

I find Posh-Pooch Owners don't allow their dogs any social stimulation by way of letting them 'sniff' other scents.

I let my dogs sniff all they want and I follow their lead (all three!) and time.

Posh-Pooch Owners just walk their dog from A to B and that's it.

I've spent a couple of hundred but I think I'm still about 6 or 7 hundred in credit. I do have a substantial list of things i need set... I do like helping out old folks you know! ;D Me too. I'm old. I bought the wife an electric blanket. First one she's had since she was a kid. well there you go... you are no longer "HOT"... and electric blanket  doesnt cover all set...  she might be thinking you dont luv her anymore    please dont buy her a flannelette nightie...unless you want time in the dog house.

She goes to bed way earlier than I do.

I do sometimes jump in and warm the bed for her if there is time, like she tells me she is going to bed before she goes to the bathroom and does her teeth and stuff. If I know, I'll jump in and warm her side up for her. I'm not overly temp sensitive so it's the least I can do. She feels the cold.

I knocked out 3 loads of washing today and it's all dried and folded.  I don't iron. Love my new washing machine
