I've been off road for a while after being assaulted and sustained a decent injury.

If I'm honest, I've enjoyed not being at work for a long time. But at the same time, I really do miss it. I love my job.

I might never go back. But that's undecided.

Time is now running out for me. I need to get back into things and honestly, I'm struggling to gee myself up into the camaraderie I miss so dearly. The funny anecdotes and war stories. Let alone the clinical homework.

I do miss the absurd things.

And I really miss mentoring students. Holy fuck do they recharge your batteries.

Maybe we can get a thread going to help recharge folks at every stage.

Mods, feel free to delete. But if there's a better place to find some proper folks who play this game in Australia, I'm all ears.

Now, anyone who gardens somewhat seriously and uses potting mix has been familiar with the ppe requirements for decades. Wear gloves and a mask when using it. Heck, my mum had us doing this three decades ago. It's right there on the sack. If you bother to read it.

But some boomer got very sick from it apparently. And I feel for them. Almost dying isn't fun. I'm glad they're okay now.

But holy crap. Dedicating twelve minutes of prime time television to tell a story about someone who can't read instructions, so gets sick from not reading instructions, going on to say there needs to be better instructions for other thick people who still don't read those instructions anyway, then blame everyone else for their own stupidity....

Great to see some things haven't changed in this world.

These are the big issues.

Pretty gnarly job this one. Sgt Lee is definitely a pretty top bloke.

I don't think I could do that. Besides, I don't think my service would let me near all the cool high angle rescue shit. I'm not allowed to run with scissors.

What things worked out well? What didn't?

Build your ideal.

How fucked am I going to be?

Edit: Just woke up at the alarm. 2.30 am. Red Bull and vodka to start the day aye?

Edit 2: I'm definitely got pisshed

Local time we've got USA v Australia at 5AM.

​

Scotland v Morocco at 8AM.

​

How fucked am I?

Sending you much love and respect.

​

Thank you for such a great game. I was excited to see Australia match with Türkiye in the draw. It was a good match.

​

Let this be the start of what I hope will be a long and frequently revisited match up between our nations.

​

Australia and Türkiye be like 🤝

​

Where we aren't, I'll be cheering for Türkiye.

That is all.

Apparently my post requires 120 characters so I'm going to say again. I think Australia and Türkiye should have an annual friendly football match.
