    Saw a friend a couple of weeks ago and since then, she’s been quite distant. I feel like I might have said something that triggered her but I don’t know what. I asked her if she’s okay and she said she’s fine. We’ve been friends for ten years and I would think she’d communicate if she had a problem with something. I’m going to give her space and try not to overthink this shit. Brain has been doing too much overthinking about things I can’t entirely control.

      I’ve had similar because I told a friend to stop texting me epstein news. I know he’s just sitting in his backyard smoking pot watching youtube and hitting share. I see enough news, I don’t need that shit texted to me. If he’s got his panties in a twist about it that’s his problem.

    There was a complaint at trivia about one of the team names and whilst I admit I could have shown better judgement, I feel the trivia company could handle the day they’re talking to me about it better. Instead of being direct it feels like they’re trying to get me to entrap myself by asking about the night. I don’t appreciate that

        I’ll spoiler this because I’m not sure how long it will take:

        Trivia night details

        One team ended up using the name Quizlamic Jihad, which is a bit of a spicy name but it had been used in the past at another venue and no one seemed to mind. A woman asked me who that team was at the end of the night because it seemed like she didn’t like their choice of name.

        That night when I got home I received an email from one of the main people in charge of trivia, and someone else I hadn’t heard of was CC’d in. He didn’t mention this guy was CC’d in or who he was. I did some linkedIn research and it was the head of events for the parent company.

        They said they received some ‘feedback’ on the event and wanted further clarification on some details of the night. There were a couple of things they wanted me to write about like technical details and crowd reaction, which felt like hiding the true thing they wanted to ask about.

        So after I responded to that email the reply was saying it was about the team name and whether I thought it was acceptable, quoting back sections of the code of conduct to me, and asking why I went with the name. He could have led with this instead of being broad and vague. I also haven’t received the formal training I’m supposed to yet so depending on what they say I might bring that up. I feel it’s a bit rich to recite the code of conduct back at me when you haven’t taken me through it like you promised.

        Now I’m waiting to hear back and I don’t know what’s going on. Who knows? I might not be hosting pub trivia any more. I could have just gotten a more direct, ‘hey, we got some feedback about this tonight, don’t do it again.’

        I worked a night with this guy and he was telling me how he’s always direct and blunt with people so I would have expected the same from him over email. Instead it feels like a cop emailing you instead of just saying what’s up. I misjudged the crowd that night, we could have just talked about it.

          Oh yeah that’s hinky bullshit.

          An mc isn’t in charge of team names or dealing with a passive agressive whinger who can’t tell the team directly to stfu

          (We had our tream name as notre flamme on a very relevant night btw…)

            I can change a team name if I feel it’s inappropriate, but that name is my type of humour. This person may have had a problem with some of the jokes I made as well, so I just wonder what they’re doing at trivia.

            We’ll see what happens. A complaint was made so something needs to be done, but I feel the company isn’t being great in how they handle this with me either

    3 nights of good sleep.

    For some reason 5 hrs sleep down here is worth 8 back in Melbs. Might be because you can leave everything open for airflow and not really worry about security. Looking at the Crime dashboard it’s wildly low. Could accidentally leave the place open all year and the odds are almost zero for a break in.

    But back to the big smoke today.

    Just had a great after work gathering. Chilled in a secret dog after work gathering spot at Flagstaff gardens among all the dogs (got a bunch of cuddles and licks) with some friends for an hour, then went to get some noodles. Dopamine high
