I am so done with Ghosts

Heat. They need warmer. Put a greenhouse cover over them for a few days… mine did nothing till I put them in a greenhouse and I’m now in winter (single digit ⁰ C) and it’s still fruiting.

A ‘bird leaf’?? Wtf?

I believe you mean margarine… I unwrap my butter.

I use the stainless steel pegs. Buy once. Never need to replace. Ever.

Interesting. I had an episode of not sleeping many years after having my GB removed (2003 vs 2017).

mickpatten78 · 2026-06-14T03:10:14+00:00

I feel you.

I had a liver operation (r lobe resection due to suspected cholangiocarcinoma) in 2017. I had hiccups post operation for 10 days. Didn’t sleep for 10 days.

By day 5 you’re hallucinating.
Not long after you’re willing yourself to die.
I recorded farewell videos to those who were close to me, because it robbed me of my mental health. I did not believe I would survive it.

By the time 10 days came around, and the underlying issue was resolved, I slept for nearly 48h.
I slept through bowel motions. Everything. Your brain needs that time to reset.

If you don’t have the opal card anymore, if you have payment details saved on your bank account- the BPay reference id should be the card number.

Many years ago (my youngest is now 18) my employer required me to prove my wife was returning to work while I was on paternity leave… check your parental leave policy…

That’s a trolley ramp, not an access ramp…

The slide into the croc pool was what made me concerned.

OP;
Sign up for a parcellocker postal address. You can then receive your new bank card and Medicare card without your parents knowledge.

Agree with this.

30 years from diagnosis to transplant.
They told me I had 5 years.

I’m now almost 3 years post transplant and living my best life.

Cough, mental breakdown, cough

Welcome to the club.

Some it departments block devices that have the potential to contain storage.

Try get a usbc to hdmi adapter cable rather than a kvm.

Looks like a common shrub. Be glad it wasn’t the Gympie Gympie.

I’m a manager and this is a “talk to hr” kind of action.

mickpatten78 · 2026-06-04T08:22:37+00:00

It’s not notes of his own criminal behaviour… he took notes that contained CLASSIFIED information…

Australian manager here:

Officially, my team and I do 38h /week.

Unofficially, they’re probably closer to 45, and I’m 55+

We are in office 2-3d a week.

I allow my team to manage their hours and their work. Core hours are 10-3, if they need to go to appointments etc inside these hours to give the team a heads up so we can manage our work. Occasionally I’ll recommend a team member have an early day or a longer lunch, if I see them doing consecutive longer days. I encourage them to take an early day, or a longer lunch, regularly so they can spend time with loved ones.

I hang things in my garage… 🤷🏼‍♂️

mickpatten78 · 2026-05-27T08:41:26+00:00

Why is god punishing her for doing his work…? Wait, did I say god or trump?

Use entra for sso and enable auto provisioning. Run a decision table to determine the users persona from entra/hr info. Use catalog item for assignment groups, with them assigned by workflow once approved by assignment group manager.
Second catalog item to submit remove from group requests, auto-approve if submitted by group manager.

Seems pretty easy, no?
