I got to say it!
“The chaotic situation your organisation finds itself in, is due to the decisions made by your leadership regarding my raise request”.
God that felt good lol
lol ooh burn!
what was the reaction?
“mate, mate, what’s done is done”
did you walk out at that point?
it’s moot
We spoke to Patrick. He is very happy about your performance. He sent these:
🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Oh yeah, it’s the day off for lent too if anyone is following it closely.
We wissssh to register a complaint 🐍
Your call is very important to us. Please hold.
Ooh delightful thank you
The fabled “void worm”.
I have a meeting with the new manager they hired.
This could turn out to be an “I told you so meeting”.
Goodnight all ❤️
I have a meeting with the new manager they hired.
“decline”.
Would have loved to mate.
I did however get to have a go at them.
Felt great lol
First tracksuit day of the year!!! Rest of the week might be too warm, but it’s nearly long sleeve time.
Let us all rejoice.
yep also in trackies. Was last night too. Shits insane, I dont remember there ever being such a “push and pull” between the seasons like this. Usually summer just fades.
Sweltering on Saturday, rugged up on Sunday. Happy autumn everyone!!!
You’re 100% right. Usually it’s hot, then hot with cool nights, then warm, then warm with cool nights, then just cool.
Now it’s hot, then cold. Very little cool in between.
I’m cold!
I receive a call from a random QLD landline number.
Person: I’m [name] from [company]
Me: What’s the purpose of this call?
Person: I can’t tell you, first I need to confirm your identity.
You call ME and can’t tell me why you’re calling until I divulge my personal information? I told this person you can say something very generic about the call reason just so I can confirm you are who you say you are before I hand over my PI, but she refused citing their stupid policies. So I ended the call.
Nope, I’m giving nothing the caller doesn’t already have. I will confirm they have correct info if they provide it, however. This is just basic phone security - no competent company would expect a cold call recipient to start giving them information.
And if they’re not competent, I have no business talking to them.
That means centrelink is not competent. I have had them call and ask for my details
That means centrelink is not competent.
I am not changing my comment, except maybe to broaden it from “company” to “organisation”. 😃
My company has this too, pretty awkward. I normally already spoke to the person and I start with “Hi it’s Force, I spoke you last week about X - before I can go any further though I do need to ask you for X Y Z.”. Lots of ppl still prefer to end the call and call back on our main phone number though, which is fair enough
At least you give some details, that would have been enough for me. This person gave me absolutely nothing except her name and company, and it’s not someone I had ever dealt with.
yeah nope no chance. You call me outta the blue and ask for info is gonna be a big fat no.
I’ve had callers tell me I am rude for not answering questions
I just hang up
First of the back cushions for the armchiair is complete, the 2nd one is half way.
Looks amazing. Nicely done!
Top of the morning to you 💚
A spot in my tea maybe
Today in class, we spoke about the whole male supremacy thing that’s been going on in schools since the rise of Tik Tok. The government started an intervention about ten years ago on respectful relationships, and the evaluations on it are inconclusive - it’s difficult to evaluate something that realistically can’t be measured objectively. Students come from different backgrounds. We can only control what we expose them to in the classroom.
So now I’m doing some thinking on what I can do in this area. Research ensues.
I gotta say, part of it speaks to entitled young men. 25 years ago when I was trying to get laid and struggling I looked at what I could improve about myself rather than blaming women for not being interested. If I could give 15 yo me some advice on the topic it would be to keep doing what you’re doing. Treating women like people and being a good friend got me laid way more than I ever expected given my younger self’s self-esteem. That and loving someone harder won’t make them any more interested, take the no and move on.
Life lessons, wish I could tell my 15 year old self a few things as well.
got the van all set up and cleaned out Saturday. Better nick than you’d expect for 25 years old, but deffo needs some love. Some stains and stuff, more than a couple of scratches and possibly an issue with the roof lifting mechanism. Fridge seems to work (it dropped temp a bit on a 30 degree day, would need more time to be certain) awning still needs to be tested though, as do the bed end flys.
Taking it out in 2 weeks so the clock is ticking for its repairs.
I love cold nights!!!
I’ve missed these so much and it’s not even that cold!
OMG! just discovered AuADHD might be the reason for my vertigo thing. Closing one eye massively helps not feel like the new stairs are DOOM awaiting. How fucking odd but awesome, yaaaar 🏴☠️
The work laptop just isn’t turning on now back in the office. It seems to be on but no video signal anywhere. Can I go home and work from my computer there?
Don’t you love it when office equipment just fails in the office.
My work laptop takes forever to connect to work wi-fi. Works great when plugged into the hub, but struggles with wi-fi in meeting rooms
Such convenience.
I had that today as well when doing an interview on the sneaky sneak. Every time I opened zoom my laptop disconnected from the VPN and I lost internet. I got in eventually though
You can have the day off, it’s our fault not yours 👍
Also, I always thought it was incredibly rude of my work laptop to say my chargers at home aren’t powerful enough. I have two 100w GAN 5 chargers and it complains every time I plug them in.
I looked at a charger at work today, 165w! These laptops barely last an hour on a teams call unplugged. Why do they need so much power and areso inefficient?
America has been preying on my mind. I am getting more frightened for the people there each day.
It is safe here in Aust at least. That I know.
My son and his wife and kid are now safe in Germany for which I thank various deities. USA is going to get worse before it gets better too imo. He mentioned in his last phone call that one of his neighbours went out to buy groceries, but came back with ammunition instead. And that’s in a fairly civilised part of a fairly chill city a long way from MAGAland. That was the deciding factor that made him and his wife decide to get out asap. Granted, there’s a military base there, and a lot of people who know how to NOT use guns, but still … If the ordinary decent people are starting to behave like that, anything can happen.
The way trump maga is openly defying judges and the law scares me.
The way they data mined the IRS and OPM is terrifying. They are getting info for a purpose and it’s not a good purpose.
Hard agree with that.
and happy your son and fam are safe now
once the depression hits the US maga will be told who to blame , that scares me too
It’s terrifying, and I have a sinking feeling in my gut I don’t know how to describe. That feeling when something bad is happening, but it’s about to get much worse. Everyday is some new horror. Today the images of the Venezuelans. And Trump saying he was ‘being sarcastic’ when he said he would solve the Ukraine war in a day. Triggering because I have had narcissists in my life for a long time, and the whole ‘I’m not wrong, YOU’RE wrong’ gaslighting tactics used when ever they feel their status might be threatened is very real. It will not stop. Anyone who thinks they can ‘deal with’ or reason with Trump and his inner circle is dead wrong. They must have never had knowledge of this personality type. These people do not have any principles and don’t care about reason. They care only about power.
Good night everyone. Love you all. Sweet dreams .😘
