put that knife away, why are you leaving a weapon out for possible assailants
put wedges under your doors

Iâm starting to feel more safe now. Still not 100, not even 30% honestly, but each day that passes, I feel 1 or 2% safer. Iâm still jumping at noises, still lock my room when I go to the bathroom, and have a just Iâm case knife on my bedside table.
I finally wrote an email to my care team informing them of the situation, theyâll probably start checking in more frequently, and will also put pressure on the org to replace my stolen and damaged stuff. The police assistance line said I should call the station handling the case tomorrow if they donât contact me first, but tomorrowâs a busy day so I might give them a bonus 24 hours. My spare room is still a âcrime sceneâ though, so I canât work on cleaning it up, or go tinker with my projects.
In a kind of dark and twisted way, itâs also ironic that they moved him in here to cut costs (Resi is expensive), and in the end itâs probably coated them the same if not more. Iâd say heâs caused about 1-2k in property damage to them alone, plus about 1.5k to me (plus another 1.5k in theft). They also had to have 24/7 staffing while he was alone, and even now since I still donât feel safe, theyâre still paying for an overnight worker. Really the only thing they really âsavedâ was not having to buy groceries for him, but it seems like he was bad with managing money, so they probably had to anyway. Seems like the cost cutting really worked for them đđ
Oh, also, I think I have permanent, irrevocable âI told you soâ rights nowâŚ

I can get to it quicker than anyone else could. Nobody would get through the door without me hearing (their best option would be giving the door a good shoulder until either the door frame collapses, or the hinges snap.
donât be foolish, you canât be awake 24 hours
But I imagine I can be fairly easily woken up if somebody is beating down my door

That feeling of safety should hopefully return soon back to 100%.
Such a fucked situation that no doubt people in these agencies should have prepared for.
Donât let them get away with not replacing your stuff. Thatâs the least they can do.
I already had a fairly low opinion of the department of human services. And yet they still continue to fuck up.

Thatâs why they rebrand every 2 years, silly! Since 2013 I think itâs gone DHHS > DHS & DoH > DHHS > DFFH & DoH. They split and merge the department of health and the department of human services more often than Melbourne rebrands public transport agencies and operators. For now, itâs the department of families, fairness, and housing, until they want to merge the department of health in again

DFFH always sounded like someone trying to say DHHS with a potato in their mouth, which is apt

I always thought âfairnessâ sounded strangely informal. Like why arenât they the department of equality or something? âFairnessâ just sounds wrong to me
