Okay it’s time for my annual Iain-Lees Galloway Love Actually Drinking Game. It has one rule: drink when there’s an inappropriate workplace interaction. The hashtag for muting purposes is #DrunkActually

this has been a consistent belief of mine for at least the last year: not only must you conduct gambling with bookies, it must be done at a seedy underground bar and the bookies must be named something that tells you exactly what you’re getting into

the Vito Four Fingers Theory of Gambling
I have come to the conclusion that all gambling should be made illegal again; or at the very least, must all be conducted in person at bookies.

I’m so glad to have a public health system.

Gallbladder attack on Sunday night. Ultrasound on Monday, surgery Tuesday, and since I’m mobile with no complications home on Wednesday.

Direct cost to me? Nothing.

Was at the hospital trying to be all kind and supportive while my gf was being discharged, except the waiting room had a TV and a contestant on the quiz show got a question extremely wrong just as we were leaving so instead they all saw me scoffing derisively 😞

There’s a person in this ward working remotely while extremely hopped up on pain meds and it seems like a very bad combination. I got my partner to Face ID lock Slack before getting general anaesthetic just in case

Man I’d forgotten how miserable hospitals are. My partner was in the ED for gallstones and everyone in the same room was equally miserable in completely different ways. It was honestly kind of impressive how many horrible things can happen to the human body

Oh yeah, I can recommend Vie Cafe & Vietnamese Street Food on Shortland St. Delicious pho, great egg coffee, and no one tried to fight my mother
Anyway we had dinner tonight and she only brought up the recent Japanese diplomatic incident re: China and Taiwan extremely loudly in English in a Vietnamese restaurant in the Auckland CBD once, so it was a relatively uneventful dinner
