Just one more day to get through before the weekend. Keeping a low profile, or have a full day of meetings?
What are you looking forward to doing at the weekend?
Lunch out today, as is my Friday tradition. Then I’m gonna be staying off Lemmy over the weekend to let the initial inrush of new users wash over us. Mad kudos to people who’re gonna be here to help guide the masses on day one. :)
edit: Turns out I couldn’t stay away!
Typical Friday:
2 Pints of Stella
Packet of Scamp Fries
2 Pints of Stella
Bucket of jellied eels
2 Pints of Stella
Fight barman and anybody else that wants some!
Finish off with 2 Pints of Stella
Then I have to head to work for my evening shift as a Reddit Mod
Met our new neighbours yesterday and we’re very happy to discover that they seem cool and also are quite young, which is a rarity in these parts. Trying not to get my hopes up about potentially making new friends, but hey you never know.
Of course since they’ve just moved in, they’ve already warned us there’ll be a fair amount of DIY noise (no problem with that, moving house is lots of work and they don’t do it too early or late) and I suspect that will ramp up at the weekend so we’re planning a trip out somewhere quiet with a picnic instead of just loafing indoors like we usually do.
Less socially awkward lemmings and kbinauts of UKCasual, tell me, is it weird to maybe invite new neighbours round for a cup of tea or something and get to know them a bit? Is that friendly or creepy? I honestly can’t tell.
It’s not creepy or anything, but personally I’d prefer a more relaxed vibe like a bbq or a couple of evening drinks. Just make sure the invite is super casual, like “hey it’d be great to get to know you guys over a tea or coffee whenever you’ve settled” and then invite them again in 2-3 weeks or something.
My thought was that I didn’t want to just assume they drink, and also a bbq seems way more effort and therefore more pressure, but yeah I think you’re right about framing it as a “when you’re settled” thing, thanks.
I’m just overexcited cos I’ve lived here for ten years and managed to get to know like one person in the entire town outside of my partner’s family 😅
I can’t think of an occasion where it would be socially wrong to invite someone round for a cup of tea - but don’t ask me since I’m not not socially awkward.
I have a day full of a single meeting. There is an outside chance that it will be quite interesting, but I fear that it’ll probably just be a frustrating slog.
Tomorrow I will be fixing my Plex and Calibre server, which won’t currently boot. I don’t think that I have lost any data/media, which are all on external drives, but may need to swap the system drive out and re-install. Until them we are living like savages, huddled around a single hard drive plugged straight into the TV.
Working this weekend, as with most weekends. It’s not so bad as I finish at 1400. Hopefully get home to an empty house and have a powernap. It’s the simple things.
