Another day, another offer on a house blown out the water by a cash buyer to whom chucking an additional 20k in is nothing.
My determination not to move until the 'right' place comes along is wavering slightly, as this loop of 'see something, get excited, get disappointed' is wearing and I can't seen an end to it.

I've been putting in a lot of overtime like 2AM nights and morning starts for the last week. Time stamp aficionados will see I was working til 3AM last night and got up at 6 today.
Turns out the project had a 3 week delay and this was known Tuesday morning but nobody bothered to inform me about it. Which is swell.
They wouldn't have known I've been working these hours, but it would have been great to know - and they should have informed me as the lead content creator for it.

This is the last project I do for this division before I switch to my new role, and I couldn't be more happy I never have to do a job for them again.

Out of curiosity I just checked Zoopla and apparently our house is worth 2/3 more than the figure we paid for it twelve years ago. We've done zero work on it except to put new windows in. It's a vague estimate and there's a bunch of stuff we need to do (new bathroom, replace the carpets, etc), but still.
I've just checked Zoopla and my house is apparently worth 24% more than when I bought it 3 and a half years ago
No idea how they've calculated it because no houses in my postcode have been sold in the past 12 months

Our house is already worth substantially more than it was 18 months ago, probably helped by the work we've done to it.
The problem is that even with a big increase in equity everything else in this part of the world is being bid up substantially, so the advantage is negated. In the classic location/cost/condition balance we have very little leeway with cost, but anything that meets both of the other conditions is going in a matter of days.

Oh God.
Okay Bogart, so Anderson and Broad dropped for the tour of the West Indies. Scuttlebutt is that Woakes and Wood will be given the new ball and I'm just not looking forward to our bowling attack -also- being shit.

apparently russia conducting military drills off our coast has spooked a certain kind of weirdo and now ireland is investing in it's defence budget and buying military jets
surely the only response russia has to us buying fighter jets is "awww, that's cute"

My house buying plan is to wait for an inheritance
That's how I managed it
And I'm probably going to have to rely on a gift from my parents to move again, as I only have one income this time
yeah my down payment was covered by a small inheritance but my plan to build equity and buy up down the road is now shot because even though my house is now worth significantly more, bigger houses are now even more worth significantly more

Did you violently vomit while simultaneously shitting and both of them felt entirely out of your control? And then do it enough more times until you felt physically exhausted?
What I wish we'd done is buy when we first moved in together just before the millenium, when house prices were at least a little sane, but it seemed like a) a bit of a risk given our employment wasn't totally reliable and b) we'd only been together six months. What fools!

House prices are insane.

today through Saturday sunny and highs of 19°
Sunday a low of -2° and a 50% chance of snow
Yep, yep, sounds like food poisoning.
I blame Arby's
I mean, money is just an illusion anyway, so they can do this.
He just left while I was grabbing my mask, so even if he misinterpreted it as I’ll bring it to your room he never told me his name or room number
Welp he’s going hungry

@Hahnsoo1 ran a fucking awesome game of Star Trek Adventures last night.
my Bajoran pilot, Path Benathar, got to say "Prophets take the wheel"
Our Captain has a better deception than most D&D rogues I've played with
Our Science officer is an adorable Ferengi
We've got a counselor who is also a hologram and comes with us on adventures!
Good. Times.
I'mma see if I can add garbage files until I can get it to 69.69
I'm not saying it doesn't take skill and lots of training or anything, but... why is that even a sport?
Okay but that’s a question for about half of all Olympic sports
I'm pretty sure all the Olympic sports are just elaborate jokes
Oooowwwww
Hey in about six months you're gonna remember that when you get out of bed and your knee pops the wrong way.
(also that sucks man, I hope it's not too bad)
I think HALO or base jumping should be an Olympic sport personally, especially since Rock Climbing is.
(edit: A HALO jump, not the video game, although e-sports should absolutely get added to the olympics at some point)
American gladiators theme intensifies
ehhhhhhhhh
you can have a separate thing for esports, though that seems to perpetually fail in slow motion
And do you really want to sully the good name of esports by associating it with the IOC
