And here it is!!!
oooh!
Neat!
So majestic!!!
Pretty 😍
I got the email to say that my certificate will be ready in a couple of weeks, and that I’ve met all the requirements (paid up, passed all modules, etc). Then I can include it with my applications instead of just saying “I passed! I swear! Pinky promise!”
Workforce is on to me though, and wants me to find a job service provider. I’ve heard so many horror stories I don’t even know where to start. And I’m still limited by only having my learner’s license, I’m still saving up to buy a bunch of bulk lessons. That’s all a morning problem though lol.
It might be worth cross referencing available providers with local Google reviews. Maybe stick with the bigger places as well as working with Centrelink is just another NDIS level grift. My brother in law was with a provider and I swear it took him a year to find a job so no rush if you find a decent place
okay guys, see you soon , just leaving for the big drive then flight
enjoy the rest of teh day 😘🤗
Safe travels, Goonsie!!! Catchya on the other side! Thanks for sharing you lovely holiday with us all!
Have a safe trip!
You’ve inspired me to look more closely for shells on the beach. All I’ve ever found is seaweed and rocks lol.
Safe flight
Hope to hear from you soon. Safe travels back!
I was giving death stares to a person taking a very long phone call in the open plan area at co-working, pacing around outside of their office so as to not bother their staff but instead bothering everyone in the open plan area including myself (make it make sense). Doesn’t use the phone / scream booths right in front of him. Anyway, he finally got the message from my death stares and said “sorry” and went back into his office to finish the call. That’s my win for the day.
Sometimes I find old notes and think wtf was that about. 🚮
I found some stuff clearing out a cupboard recently that I wrote back when I was having mental health issues quite a few years ago… Jesus Christ 🤦🏼♀️
Oh dear.
so many hugs
This reminds me of the Big Laundry joke from Phineas and Ferb
all the time …lol
My significant win this week is that my hair is looking…actually good. Simple chunky bob for the win. 💇
Nice hair can make a big difference to how you feel! My hair is butt length and an absolute PITA, but when it’s shiny and behaving, I love it. However, now that I’m swimming 3 x week, I’m thinking about lopping it off.
The bob is underrated
lol just reading on the other place gardeningaustralia someone battling oxalis.
I’m not telling them my instruments of DOOOOOM!
Funnily enough the biggest sustainable doom instrument is just mulch heh.
e: that’s not to say I’m not struggling too, running around the place w/ insecticide is weird.
What’s on the menu tonight?
Heading back to Melbs today so no flamethrower food :(
sad weed burner noises
Don’t have a flamethrower but I’m pinching your aeroguard idea. Interestingly enough I had used mulch in the past, before I realised how big a problem it was (the oxalis that is). That didn’t work, but the birds were happy scratching it everywhere
Grrrr got my tax return back and as expected, my bloody super deduction is not available and I owe them a huge chunk now AND I’m out of pocket for the substantial amount I deposited… guess I will have to make those phone calls when it’s 8am. Not happy Jan. I foresee a lot of “no you need to contact ATO!”, “no you need to contact your super fund!” back and forth…
E: and it’s been three hours now, 4:30am and I can’t get back to sleep. Do they put something in these pizzas?
Grrr indeed. Good luck with your obnoxious adulting tasks.
Oh no that’s so annoying 😭
24 minute wait to get a call back then a 15 minute call from the ATO done, now on hold with the super fund with three callers ahead of me in the queue… blaaah… At least the ATO staff member was super helpful and escalated my issue but she did say the super fund still needs to report the contribution before anything can be processed. I have Words for the super fund about not being clear regarding how soon they send contribution info to the ATO
Shit. I hope you’ll be able to sort it out.
Out of curiosity when were they wanting you to pay the bill by not that you have to because of what your superfund has done to you.
They haven’t put in a due date yet but typically I think you have until 21 November unless you filed with an agent and/or have requested a payment plan.
'ang on, they can’t file your return without your auth, can they?
I filed the return myself, followed all the instructions to a tee, turns out my super fund is not being very truthful or clear about how quickly they then send that info to the ATO.
ahhh. Rookie mistake. Trust no one until you see the paperwork for yourself.
It appears to be very rare for the contributions to not show up with the ATO, according to both the ATO, the super fund and two accountants I spoke to, and there is no paperwork to “see” really (everything was good on paper) but thanks for the condescension anyway I guess
apologies, wasn’t meaning to be condescending. Was meant to be more commiserating with a “Never trust the bastards, they will get you any way they can” sorta vibe
I am guessing the tax return was filed before the notice of intent to claim the super was done. You can’t claim Super as a deduction on your tax return until the Super fund has taken out the 15% tax and processed it as a concessional contribution.
No, I filed the tax return well after the NOICC was done and I received an acknowledgement. But the super fund has still not submitted the data to the ATO despite repeatedly saying they did on the phone when I noticed the discrepancy
Got today and tomorrow off work to spend with Minipeelers. Also I have a parcel to collect 😃I think my balaclava/hood things have arrived (I love those things; I wear them in scarf/snood mode during the day to keep my neck warm and make my apron sit correctly, and pull up the hood if it’s extra cold or raining. It’s been a winter game changer for me). What to do? I know they want to go to Melbourne Central on one day and an art supply shop at some point. Art supply shops are expensive tho, and I usually wing it with $2 shops where I can get small canvasses and acrylic paints for a fraction of the price.
There’s a Daiso at Highpoint.
There is, dang it I could’ve wandered in for a look last week. I hit the wall after a few hours there and just herded the kids out as quickly as was practicable lol.
DAISO for art supplies cannot be beat. There is a Daiso at the Queen Vic Centre and one downstairs next to the Telstra office at the Bourke St/Swanston mall intersection
Thankee!
I go on wild shopping sprees at Daiso and it ends up costing only $20 …lol 😀
Daiso’s for washi tape 😍 I got some beautiful tulip and sunflower ones the other day!
I really hate waking up in the dark. I think it affects my mood. Need a blue sky day.
This winter has been extra bluesy for me.
Early mornings definitely don’t help.
definitely worth investing in a small bottle of vitamin D
It’s part of my medicine regimen during winter.
It helps, but the blues persist
I cannot stress enough how good this NZ sun has been for my mood, sure we’ve had a ton of rain but the days in between have been sunny and mild. It’s not the only good thing but it has helped.
sun = good. Get more sun
Same. But then there was blue sky yesterday afternoon and I couldn’t even drag myself out to enjoy it.
Makes me think it’s still early when it’s dark and I haven’t woken up yet.
Unfortunately the time doesn’t quite match.
Best I can do
Love it
even tho i had a nightmare of sorts, bad stuff but i figured it out and got away, I have woken up refreshed, not in pain from my back and happy even . I imagine this is how normal people live.
Hugs. Enjoy the moment of calm. You deserve it.
Just checked the train replacements on the Mernda/Hurstbridge line. Bus replacements until last service SUNDAY 20/7!!! Must be one hell of a fault at Clifton Hill. link I reckon it’ll last longer than that though.
A train derailed on that like yesterday and messed up a lot.
Was closed on afternoon Monday too, so clearly big fuckups happened.
I haven’t watched it but I saw this train youtuber video about it https://youtu.be/s0Wq20-glcY
Picking up a 7 string guitar today. Haven’t had one before. Going to sound heavy as fuck!!!
Also fuck work today lol
I did not know 7 string was an option. TIL
They can go down to 9 these days. There’s ones that have even more range sometimes too
It allows for a much lower in tone tuning which works really well for heavier music.
It sounds like an odd mix of percussive and melodic.
Play some Polyphia for us!
Haaaaah! I can maybe a minute of one of their songs and then I accepted that I’m probably never gonna be good enough to play a whole song lol
A minute is more than most people haha
Tune down to drop A for maximum djonk.
I’ve also found 7 string sets weirdly light for the type of guitar they go on
It’s in drop a flat lol
Lovely coffee catch up with friend. Now I’m just dawdling along building a model
So yeah, week 2 of himself doomsipiraling. Can’t talk, cook, or hug it off.
Sometimes you can do everything perfect and the person still isn’t in a space to receive it or come out of that spiral. Love isn’t a substitute for therapy, medication, or whatever he needs, so he has to think about what would help him.
Make sure to look after yourself. You can support him but make sure to spread the load and ensure you’re not trying harder than he is. You can’t do it all
