There wasn’t one yet.
I forgot to mention, they are paying for 2 monitors, a dock and a keyboard and mouse and will have them couriered to my house so I can work from home.
That’s fucking crazy lol
Enjoy your day everyone ❤️
Hoping today I get my call 🤞
Fingers crossed mate!
Preparing to break out the sardines for you… 🤞
I still have some smoked kippers in the cupboard for the occasion.
Hoping to celebrate with lots of smoked fish?
Fish and beer, anyone would do the same right?
I would be fish and wine, close enough?
Acceptable
Oh wow, so how often do you need to work at home and go into the office for? Does it suit you?
Im in office 3 days which is fair I reckon.
Pretty standard these days.
That should be the bare minimum for a job that actively supports WFH. It’s a small expense for them to keep you working even if you’re sick, for example ;) Nice one getting the dock paid for, they’re so expensive and the cheap ones really can be useless
Had one of the worst days of my life yesterday.
But I have TAFE tomorrow, I can do this.
oh no, hugs.
is there anything we can do? more hugs?
You can. ❤️🩹
You got this! I belive in you :)
Hang in there, and hugs
Oh no 😔 happy for you to vent to me if you want
Got assigned my first client today! Also a title change. Now service delivery manager. Fancy title same job as before.
Otherwise there’s a lot to take in! It’s only day 2 so expectations aren’t high, but still. I want to be picking this all up quickly so I can to the actual job.
The new sewing machine inspired me to finish a simple job I’ve been putting off for ages - I have sewn a zipper into a cardigan my Mum knitted for me ages ago. The machine sews beautifully, I’m very pleased with it.
In a tentative sign that I might finally be kicking this stupid cold/flu/whatever, I just had to stop work and make emergency pikelets. I haven’t felt like eating anything for a week so this is good.
…my garmin watch did give me a heartrate warning while I was doing it so I think a couple more days on go slow is a good idea
It’s always a really good feeling when your appetite returns! Definitely sounds good to ease yourself back in though
Enough with the wind already, I’m sleepin’ here! I’M SLEEPIN’ HEEYA!
have you tried beano?

gang violence should carry an automatic sentence. You wanna act the teenage dickhead you get treated like a teenage dickhead. Where the fuck are the parents in all this? Lock them up too. jeez I sound old.
I too wondered about the parents.
either they are to blame or they have been victimised as well

Yay: I didn’t lose my expensive but very good fingerless gloves, they’re at the doctor’s!
Nay: now I have to drive there and back. Meh. At least I’m not as incapacitated as the last two days. I really need those gloves though!
Also, reading that thread on the escaped cow in South Yarra on the other site, I have had that song in my head all morning. We will fight for, bovine freedom…
They came with a needle to stick in his thigh, he kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye. Cow well hung.
gloves are good
Bloody AusPost left my parcel up a fucking tree.
Can quokkas even climb trees? 🤔
I guess the hard part is getting back down.
I’m sorry to have concerned anyone yesterday.

Thanks for the update - I think we were all a bit concerned. If this eases your mind, I’m fairly sure someone here (might even be me) will take care of Melbcat if needed in a hurry and you don’t have time to set up a preferred option. I don’t have a cat at present, so can offer no charge care in my home which is cat proofed in anticipation of getting a cat in the near future.
Thanks so much.

I’m sorry you’re going through such a hard time. I hope that between the private specialist and public system can at least offer support for you 🙏
Sky pretty.
So pretty! Best sunset in a while.
Seeing Deadpool & Wolverine tonight in the first preview screening woooo letsgoooooooooooo
I’ve avoided all trailers since the first teaser so I’m looking forward to being surprised
I’m gonna try go see it tonight at my local theatre. And same, avoided all since the first trailer/teaser.
Good choice. The trailer I saw appeared to be half the movie.
Right? insane how much they were giving away even in the first trailer!
ta da, got the last 50 tacks out of the chair seat frame, special gloves helped 👍 🤗

Baku, I think I speak for a lot us when I say how impressed I am with your maturity and common sense. Things have been hard for you recently, and this will take some time to adjust to. Waking up at 2 am thinking we’ve heard something happens to us all, I think though for most of us its just possums or rats or a piece of household equipment falling over (thank you cats). You are being exceptionally mature about this, especially since the threat is probably still quite real.

The real problem is that one can’t just assume that ‘its all in my head’ cos when you do that - its real. Heightened alertness is a known side effect of trauma - and I consider the ex-housemate as trauma on legs. Be gentle with yourself - the hyperalertness will dissipate over time. Sucks to go through it though.
so many many hugs
the effects of loss of peace of mind is not to be under estimated

Pakige was not at my local post office. I didn’t even look before I drove there, but it was actually at a business centre so I had an impromptu drive to Bayswater to collect it. While I was out I took the opportunity to top up the petrol tank at a station which is still at 177c instead of 219c which most of them have jumped to.
Pakige was worth the drive - I now have a new-to-me sewing machine. It appears to be barely used and in full working order, including the all important automatic needle threading which I really struggle to do myself now that my eyesight is getting dodgy.
