The last time I bought USD cash from the bank I walked in, spoke to the teller who hooked me up and I was out within maybe 4 minutes including them going to get the cash for me.
Today I was directed to take a seat as if I was there to apply for a home loan and nearly 50 minutes later was walked to a back 'office' and sat down like I was applying for a home loan, had to verify my email address, phone number and then verify via the mobile app that I was indeed sitting in front of someone at the bank, then re-state what I wanted. The guy went and got a single form for me to sign stating they're giving me 4 x $20 and 2 x $10 notes, then quizzed me about what I do for a job and about my large savings account and what I'm saving up for, and I said no I'm not looking for a home loan right now, then he just walked me to the teller which I'd been sitting next to who had been there with no line in front of her for the entire time I was there and she sold me the cash. I very rarely complain but I complained and remained obviously angry that this was taking so long during my entire chat with the guy in his little office but he still felt it was a good idea to give me a little quiz rather than just sell me the fucking piddly $100 cash I came in for.
CommBank, you fucking SUCK now.
Good night everyone and welcome to our newest member, BunnyPeeler. 😘
Morning all! Bunny Peeler has been discovered in a kind of nest against the fence, made from a hollow between the fence and some grassy orchid-like flowering plant. It's hard to get to (hidden behind a rose and a geranium) and looks like they've been living in there for a while, munching on violet leaves and such (the hollow is well worn).
So I was cleaning my teeth when I heard this odd sound of water glugging in the shower.
Turn around to see Zooks with her fluffy bum hovering over the drain, pissing down it.
Saves on the scooping, I suppose...I had to buy a few things from the supermarket, it's a minefield of really really bad food/snacks. I was strong, only good food and necessities were bought. At home now having afternoon coffee, with skim milk , and some peanut butter toast.
Vintage LPs have been bought, more Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and some music. 👍
Looking for my glasses ??? They are on my face. 🙄
Shout out to my main man Archimedes who just helped me pull a bunch of deep steel stakes outta the ground. Getting a new veg patch so old one has to go.
Bashed the shit out of the first one with a hammer and wiggled it like a caveman, came out eventually and whilst cathartic wasn't ideal was a bit of (rave alert) a Dustup. So Archi came to the rescue.
Basically screwing the stake into a long bit of wood using the ground as a fulcrum and lift.
I'm so tired but it's the nice kind of tired. Maybe it's the happy chemicals from the gym this morning.
Looking forward to smashing some guitar. It's been a while since I've been so keen on playing. I usually write with piano and bass then add guitar, but it's nice to just play without trying to make something out of it.
Practising singing isnt going too bad. I can feel/hear that I'm out of shape. Too much breath to reach certain notes. Gets better with practice though.
Much sads. Lost my GrumpyCat brooch
Jesus Christ I’m glad to be done for the day
FLAAAAAN
I have a co-worker who basically used me to trauma dump about her past abusive relationship. Now she's being very cryptic with another co-worker, saying things like, "I've been publicly humiliated" or when she went to meet with her ex after they had been no longer together for a year, "I'm in trouble". She met with him to see if she was over him but she was still in contact with him the whole time (because she believed he was her soulmate).
I honestly feel like she's just looking for a reaction now and she's got some growing up to do. Yes, she's had a shitty experience and I think I've acknowledged that to her. But ultimately, this is her life and she can decide what she wants to do. The whole thing is ridiculous and I'm sick of hearing about it.
Morning
Soooooup
this is the worst hay fever ever 😖
I am now home and relaxing after a day of feeling like I was running around aimlessly. Driving 100 on the Tulla was fun, I got home from the city quick fast.
Burger…. I have made. I have eaten with pineapple.
I am full.
Dishes are done which was really hard to do with a full belly.
