Australia Thread v7 - a pack of durries and a slab of piss - General

Home alone.

My mum and her partner don’t believe in Christmas, so every December we instead celebrate ‘Shakespeare month’, haha. On Christmas day we share poetry and drink bucketloads of coffee.

What the fuck.

this is too hipster for me

Nope, but my mum and her partner are vegetarian and they drive a Renault. Such beautiful people

almost a home run, just need to be pescatarian instead also i've got all my mum's family we're still on speaking terms with over to eat 5kg of bbq meat in a half-finished extension. might even get my dementia-addled grandfather over too

Man I’ve been trying to go vegan over the past few months but it’s hard. I eventually reintegrated dairy milk and butter, milk because it has good nutrients and butter because it actually disturbs me that margarine would be grey if not for artificial colours. I survived for quite a while with tofu, bean and lentil-based dinners, but recently I caved in and got some KFC for the first time in a while, and fuck it’s just that good. 5kg of meat sounds bloody great

Why would you torture yourself like that?

Working this weekend and monday. In retail. 3 days prior Christmas. I've already lost patience with 2 mothers and an old man this week and told them to get out ._. Also I'm looking into studying as a Veterinarian Nurse next year because fuck humans and I seem to have a knack for medicine.

Im not sure you will find it much better, especially when you're constantly dealing with sick or dying pets and their owners abusing you for not working miracles.

Fuck working in an Officeworks on Christmas Eve. It's probably hands down the busiest time for Printing with old people and mothers bitching that "Service is slow and I don't have all day to wait for my photos". I'm fucking sorry Barbara but there's only 'x' amount of printers and fucking 50 of you all crowding around like moths.

Wow, managed to get through a family dinner without a retarded political discussion.

peace and quiet here this year. Three weeks and I'm the only one in the house

Applied for an officeworks a few months back but never ended up bothering to schedule an interview. Quit retail and missed out on christmas this year and haven't been happier. Last time I had a shift I had a 15min convo with some dumbass demanding I come back to his house after work and fix his TV because he couldn't get the right channels or some shit. Caught up with some of my old team and they were telling me the store manager's got this new genius plan for the poor sucker that replaced me where a team member starts at 9pm and works till 2am instead of the usual shift just so the fill manager can do a 13 hour shift and isn't working by himself. Fuck working on salary.

merry christmas you fuckwits, on a scorching summer day there's no better way to spend it get anything good?

New car tires.

Almost forgot, merry xmas bois hope your having a good one.

Got a whetstone from my cousin, gonna polish the fuck outta some kitchen knives.

wait what the fuck

what doth light through yonder window breaks tis the pretentious month of yonder shakes what'th normal ist too good for beatnik thou but something something im too drunk now

fuck the roads are almost comlpetely empty but the few people on the road are the biggest fuckwits alive

Well, my friend had to cancel new year plans since he'll be stuck in Newcastle for it. So now my plan consists of either going up to Toowoomba and drinking at a pub by myself, hoping that I can overcome my social awkwardness to talk to people, staying in my hometown and going to the pub and hoping I can overcome my social awkwardness to talk to people, or staying at home.

idk man, i was going to go for pof next because i don't need the self-esteem boost from a bunch of tinder matches see if you can turing test them, then a no-show means you've broken the AI barrier rather than just broken yourself

‘Supermarkets shouldn’t be open on Christmas Eve or Boxing Day’ Well jesus bloody christ, if people including yourself didn’t go out shopping on either of those days, retailers wouldn’t be open during them. If there’s going to be one way to describe people’s attitudes during the early 21st century, it’s that people lack self-control or self-responsibility.

I know it's shitty to work on Christmas day, but being able to pick up something for Christmas as you're arriving at someones house is useful.

I imagine penalty rates are useful too.
