Tuned in

It's the weekend, that glorious day called Saturday, and I reckon that's pretty damned good and an excellent reason to celebrate just a little bit. Now I'm here at the weekend I can look back and consider what I achieved leading up to it and what I have ahead of me; I'll be making the most of it.

As far as working weeks go last one was not too bad, a mixed bag of good, bad and indifferent however I mostly managed to move the bad to good and the indifferent to something that made a difference so I'm going to call it a win. Outside of work, life moved on as it always does, inexorably, and I got a lot achieved.

I spent time chatting with some people on WhatsApp who I've not chatted with for a while, one of them is a girl I met on Hive right back in 2017 who has similar interests to me and is an all-round legit character. The other is a local person who has just purchased a new house which is exiting and I'm looking forward to seeing it in person. Those chats spanned a few days each and brought some enjoyment and laughs. There was a more serious side to it though, the week I mean.

I had the need to change some subscriptions from one account owner (not me) to another (me) and make no mistake about it...it sounds easy, wasn't so fucken easy.

Being on hold on the phone for longer than one second isn't my thing, I fucken hate it, so that wasn't a good start. Dealing with phone/call centre operators who don't speak reasonable English also drives me nuts so strike fucken two...and then finding out the whole thing wasn't done properly is the trifecta. I'm not impatient (mostly) but that perfect storm of scenarios pushed me to the brink of...of...the brink of going fucken bananas. I managed to remain unbananas though as in these situations it rarely works well. I was frustrated though, on two occasions. Thankfully I got it all sorted.

I ate dinner out twice during the week, one was a date with my girl who wore the lowest top I think I can remember her wearing so all I can recall about that meal is boobs. Ok, not really. (Umm, yeah really.) The second was another date with my girl but this time, fucking fuckety fuckballs, not as much cleavage was displayed but I still looked anyway.

I also made dinner a couple times trying out, for the first time, a thing I've been thinking about for a while; it's basically a pizza but made using a round (low carb) tortilla thing and made into a pocket/pouch thing. It's way less in carbohydrates than pizza base which is something that's important to me, super easy to make and eat, and was delicious. The other was a killer Greek salad and chicken schnitzel meal which - I'm being modest here - was fucken legit.

I did some other stuff I don't want to say here and then, after the drudgery of the working week concluded it's now...Saturday.

I've got some stuff to do on the weekend but it's going to be hot - 40°C hot to be precise - which is shit but life has to go on. It'll be that hot for several days now and that's also shit but I'll not die hopefully; if I do manage to die you can send your condolence messages to my brother @tarazkp, and if you have any good-riddance-glad-you're-dead messages he'll accept them too.

Anyway, that was just a not so little introduction to my #saturdayselections post for this week in which I want to share three tracks I've listened to over the week at one point or the other. This tag popped up in my WEEKEND EXPERIENCES community a little while ago and I thought it was a cool way for people to share a few tracks and a chance for them to talk about their weekend ahead.

So, below are tracks I've listened to this week, two are really great and one I like for the track itself and because the music video is cool. That's the Kid Rock one in which he pays homage to Podunk, slang for a town or place that has no significance, is isolated and has no relevance (and is often brim full of rednecks). There's girls in bikinis holding guns, rednecks and stuff like that and it's funny. Anyway, watch and listen if you like, or not, it makes no difference to me. You also are under no obligation to like any of these tracks because whether you do or not won't make any difference to me because I have my own opinions.

So what's up for your weekend? If you want to tell me the comments below is where you'll do that and if you want to do a #saturdayselections post about the music you've been listening to you can do that as well, or not. Happy weekend to y'all...even if you live in Podunk.
