Lets just do these on Monday

I really like the fact that I'm reflecting every week on what I've done - it's been a great way to make sure I don't forget shit. I initially planned to post every Sunday, but I've found that I've been actually doing stuff lately on Sundays which makes blogging that day actually really hard. Moving forward I'm going to try do these posts on Monday! Mondays are almost always slow & I'm just working, so it's the perfect day to write about the last week.

Last week I finally got the Azur lane figurine I ordered 4 weeks ago! The box was actually HUGE and the figurine doesn't even fit on our shelf ;-; ... She's SOOOOOO pretty though, and I'm glad I finally got her. I'd fucked up the post code on my delivery address so it got sent literally everywhere except my suburb. Shoutout to the AusPost phone support honestly, once you get past the shit bots the people I chatted too were super understanding and explained how the new label is getting printed & what the tracking would look like etc. All really great friendly ppl!

Other than that and Sunday though my week was a bit uneventful! Sunday was crazy though - I had a friend basically disappear over the last few months, like she was still around, but never free. Turns out she was scouted to be an idol. Like the japanese idol kind. She invited us all to one of her shows and she was crazy good (and so was her other group member!) - it's kinda crazy tho that there's a scene for this in Sydney. Like, it makes sense, but its cool that niche communities like this can form and be big enough that it can actually afford to pay her and the other girls who perform. Was really cool!

Oh! Also, my NAS that died last week is all fixed! New drives arrived at the same time as the figurine & I swapped them in. The 8hr resilver was stressful, but it all went well in the end. Trying to orchestrate a RaidZ2 migration in my head without dropping crazy $$$ though, but I don't think it'll be possible. Glad I had good backups, but I dread having to restore them...
