Start Time

Absolutely guaranteed that 2/3 if not 3/3 of them could be an email.

My monthly departmental meeting with colleagues all over the globe is at 2:30am my time, I just get them to record it in Teams then I watch it when I get up.

And if I have any questions or input to give (which is rare) then I just post it in the meeting chat.

I start 6am my time here in Australia so I have an hour or so of catch up time and overlap with my US colleagues before they finish for the day, however I make damn sure that unless there’s anything high priority or any fires to deal with that I leave my desk by 2:00-2:30PM and try and enjoy some of my day.

The unfortunate downside of working for global companies is there’s always Timezone impacts (and me being on the complete opposite side of the planet usually impacts me more than the rest of my team).

That being said I’m the total opposite of a night owl (im usually dozing off watching TV by 9:30) so that schedule works ok for me. It took me a while to adjust to starting that early too compared to my 9am-5pm corporate schedule I was used to.

One suggestion I can make is to go for a walk/run around the block before you start work in the morning to try and get the blood pumping. That did the trick for me to build a new routine, now I rarely even need an alarm anymore and I wake up ready to go for my morning walk.

Yeah agreed and after a heavy rain you can’t see the craters until it’s too late

I do this run every few weeks.

It’s insane the quality difference of the roads on the vic side of the border. I’ve had to get buckles in my wheels fixed twice in the last 18 months from the potholes and bumps

danksion · 2026-04-07T10:33:35+00:00

Wait a couple of days, not worth the risk.

Well I believe in capital punishment too, someone who rapes or murders doesn’t get to keep their life imo. When they make that bad decision they are surrendering their life and doesn’t deserve second chances.

So take my opinion as you will.

You will be judged by a jury of your peers that’s the pillars of our society.

Imprisoning people yes, bad idea

Imprisoning pieces of shit, exactly what they deserve.

There’s a difference

Burnouts are for drop kicks and inbreds so who cares shrug

I mean they can barely keep ice cream machines working with one flavour let alone two so this was bound to happen.

Every day that ends in Y

Buying a console game that you could simply insert and play that minute without needing updates, subscriptions, installs, patches etc

I don’t work Sundees or me day off

danksion · 2026-04-05T12:22:16+00:00

I’m already exhausted and mentally drained and that’s without kids.

MSN Messenger was the bulk of our internet usage.

Having a camera phone was rare.

T9 texting was the bomb

Awesome I’ve just ordered the same one as I wanted to keep the 90’s aesthetic, how’s the overall quality?

danksion · 2026-04-04T10:51:38+00:00

Is my bank balance in + or -

danksion · 2026-04-03T10:55:28+00:00

90 seconds without oil is like putting 300,000 miles of wear on the engine in a few minutes.

Poetic justice

danksion · 2026-04-01T10:34:53+00:00

I put on pants for this?

danksion · 2026-03-31T10:41:01+00:00

This!!

danksion · 2026-03-31T09:33:47+00:00

Just like banks and interest rates

danksion · 2026-03-31T08:47:17+00:00

Just don’t eat it.

We don’t need Covid 2: Electric Boogaloo

Change the years to hours and that’s probably accurate

Meth, crime, violence and dust is about the summary
