November 2024

There is a strange complexity to humans. The state of "un-grateful-ness" and the blaming game. If you are basically inadequate do not go blaming others for your own fallacy. I never in my right mind blame people for no good reason. I rather ask questions than to make statements. I prefer facts and figures to assist me in getting to the answer or conclusion which I so seek.

 

However, unsolicited suggestions are nice, but they may not always suit the situation.Take for example, person A is a picky individual who only wants to hang with beautiful people and will never develop deep friendship.

Person A: You should leave your hair down, you would look better. 
Person B: I have an itchy rash face. 
Person A: Why don't you see a skin specialist? 
Person B: My dermatologist recommended I tied my hair until the rash and itch has subsided. 
Person A: So when would that be?
Person B: I have no idea, but I hope soon. However, eczema comes and goes said my dermatologist.
Person A: Can't you do something about it? You look ugly at the moment. 
Person B: Thanks for flattery. I will do my best to medicate myself, but the body will heal at its own pace.
Person A: So, you are an unhealthy individual.
Person B: I guess, so.
Person A: Best we do not hang out.
Person B: Sure. I respect your choice.
 
Overall, I do not think individuals choose to be unhealthy, sometimes these things are genetic deposition. Well, correct if I'm wrong, but medicine is not exactly cheap and people can only afford the best care based on their knowledge, their salary, and access. Even specialist are picky in who gets to be their client and who they want to go all out in assisting in such matters.
 
 
Many humans are picky lot, who destroy this planet, and rob animals of their homes. It is a sad state of affairs to see this planet filled with humans of this kind. I pray for a better tomorrow by educating others to tolerate other people's looks and feelings. So that, we can move away from such superficial interactions and focus on repairing this planet instead.

October 2024

Anything that could go wrong did went wrong. Well, mainly at work. Staff cannot decide on which date to run an event and then they refuse to plan communication in advance. I can only do so much before a desk shift or before a day off.

Then I am learning there is thing about sending out reminders. If it has been sent out by staff newsletter on Monday, it cannot be sent out via email on Tuesday or Wednesday. We can probably get away with a reminder in the Thursday all staff meeting.

There was no BCC field in a calendar/meeting invite. You had to forward the email with BCC field. What messed up was the UTC was set to American time instead of Australian time. Whoa. That meant the invite was sent out with a 9pm start time instead of a 10am start time. Of course, this was all done in the last minute during lunch time a day before the event. A month in advance would have been better. However, no one from the work stream or social committee wanted to take up the task.

Moreover, casuals, volunteers, and security staff do not have access MS Teams, with that being the case, they cannot fill in MS Teams forms. On that basis our bake off poster was not forwarded on said the supervisor of volunteers. I did my best. Other people will have to take up the mantle. I do not have the energy to suggest to an adult, you know, you could just ask them to email in their entry or not bake but feel free to attend the event when you happen to rostered in.

On the day of the event, there were volunteers who asked why they were not informed. I could not be bothered to justify someone's else action. I'm too busy topping up baked goods and informing punters how to vote.

Now I am writing a guideline and hoping people could follow it. However, I fear we will be short of people to help with planning events in the near future.

Family is unwilling to work on increasing cash flow. Just happy to depend on grandpa. Um. Cost of living is going to be higher than what's grandpa can put out. 

Sis states she avoid much of the north side of the city due to lack of toilets and too much homeless people. Actually, these homeless hang in malls and near toilets more than you can imagine. Also, those bibe bashers are loitering around the shops too. Since we look like young Asians they will continuously approach you. I said you need to build a better defence and learn to stay on the move.

Sitting down and looking pretty only attract flies in the city. The rich does not hang in the city. They did not in the 1886 and they will not in 2024.

PoGo the game has been quite. More and more players are pissed by the new features, which does not benefit their play style. Coach potato. We hardcore continue to walk and play. My sister insist we sit and play. I tell her this game does not operate that way. To find research task is to swipe a poke stop and each street can have up 50 poke stops. It takes time to go through all of time. Sis whinges. Too much walking is hurting her joints. I told her you can hide in the shops while I play PoGo. I rather be fit and able to move as I age then to sit and develop joint problems. Sedentary lifestyle can ruin your health.

September 2024

The cold weather continues into spring. Still it is that time of year for spring cleaning time. What springs to mind is how I have been sloppy for the last 5 years and how I have let my table to go the dogs. I so gotta get my act together and prepare for advancing years. The expectation will be more medicine and more document and they require space on the table... I do not have a table. Sis fill every table draws with nail polish and eye liners like mom has done to every draw in the bathroom. Hoarding, hoarding, and hoarding some more.

I cannot wait to de-clutter my life. Well, one aspect of it anyway.

August 2024

When August pulled up people started throwing projects my way. Wow. I am willing to try and manage as much as I can. All the while I need to devote my energy and voice to this month's event, the Family History Month. The projects range from food event ideas, crafting event ideas, reviewing policy documents, discuss accessible workspace ideas with no budget available. Oddly enough not many hands want to pitch in. Off the topic, I enjoy having my matcha latte throughout the week though. It is very nice to have a hot cuppa during these really cold days, totally warms the guts. When I'm outside of work that's when I get inspiration.

I’m learning when there are native birds there are no feral cats around. When there are cats there are no native birds around. It seems you cannot have the best of both worlds. 

August was Family History month at work. We had some interesting enquiries. A few patron wanted to find their ancestors in the 1500s. We do not hold any in Australia. They best try England I suggested to them. I explained that Australia was discovered in 1788 and that civil registration only came into existence around 1850s during gold rush period. I went on a quest to research into the books we hold and where medieval records and parish records could be located. Only nobles, dukes, viscount, marquee, and royalty were mentioned in published books from 1100 to 1500. The Domesday book had daily accounts of some peasants. 1538 is when parish registers became a thing in England.

1100 domesday book
1100 to 1538 maybe church records?
1538 parish records (NA UK)
1837 civil registration in UK (GRO)
1850 civil registration in Australia per state (PROV)
1924 civil registration in Federated Australia (NAA)

Quite the discovery I must say. I learnt something this month myself.





Wisdom offering:

People always tell me that they deserve a sexy partner. I tell them there are 23 million people in Australia and 8 billion in the world. Is that enough? 

Then you hear them complain about individuals they have rejected in the past. This was coming from men telling me stories of women they have rejected on the first day I met them. Geez. What part of my face says, “psychologist”. 

The usual complaints were:_
  • Short hair/height
  • Spoilt (nail painting/brand wearing)
  • A single mom with children
  • Lives with/cares for their ageing parents
  • Has too many friends/goes out a lot
  • Not into doing extreme sports daily/every weekends
  • Works on weekends
Uh. These are females who have a life of their own life and priorities. What’s wrong with that? Really. I don’t see a problem. What I see is someone who is unwilling to compromise and not keen to meet their partner half way.

July 2024

The modern day is riddled with bullet holes. 

My latest mobile phone fiasco has led me to feel I have no choice but to wilt down my memberships and cut my losses. Bye-buh useless retail shop memberships!

The local council has issue you an infringement notice for not mowing your grass. If your grass has exceeded 150mm then it has violated the local by-laws. Ugh. 


Work
Some progress to take place.

PoGo
Quiet in the western end. Unless you are attending those summer Go Fest events, there is nothing really happening in the local areas.

Dating

Another guy tried to keep on the line while he no longer wish to meet up after our first catch up. Hey, if you do not following up with a second date, consider yourself binned!

June 2024

I find so many people are filled with regret as they get older. Whereas I have too many weekly, monthly, and yearly goals. And for some reason and somehow I would physically injure myself. Which in turn delaying many of my projects. This age-ing process is trying to slow me down. However, I find sitting down and watching videos to be boring.


Work
We are trying to find ways to make searching the collection easy and an enjoyable experience. We have started to consult a digital strategist. How interesting.


PoGo
I got a hundo Komala (aka a koala). God damn cute! Then a hundo Oranguru. Finally!


Dating
Scammers lack romantic skills in wooing me over. They are getting lazier by the day.

Men need to learn to enjoy life without groups of people.

Men need to stop saying travelling overseas is a bucket list thingy, when it is a regular thing for the most people. Here is a tip for you, if you are elderly and frail travelling overseas or camping where there are steep hills and cobble steps you are more likely to get hurt and you will take longer to recover from norovirus on cruise ships.

Many of these men seem to lack stills in privacy and protecting their and close family member's personal data. Shockingly piss poor.

May 2024

It is bitter cold these mornings. The sun comes out for the most part and during mid afternoon. The leaves have fallen from the elm trees in the city. Not much city sweepers abuut near the leaves. Only the main street where the shops are located can you spot a street sweeper vehicle go by.

Work

It has been steady. However, I feel immensely tired right after dinner. I find myself sleeping until the next day.

PoGo

I am starting to come across shinies and hund again. From my guess, my casual way of play while travelling does not reap a great deal of rewards compared to going ham with selective friends in Melbourne.

Dating

No action here.
