💜National Single Parents Day💜
Put in around 70 applications on seek and contacted recruiters on LinkedIn.
May as well get straight back into it I guess.
This is true courage. I salute you.
🤞
You are a strong man 💪🏽
Wishing you the best of luck!
Wicked!
Got the word this afternoon that my role is being extended for another 18 months. They couldn’t swing making it permanent, but we’ll look at that again in 18 months’ time. No going back to Operations. All Strategy for me!
Getting paid big bucks to be the ideas man, that’s the life ;)
huh. finally remembered my login details on my new phone.
Welcome back! May you not get booted out again by a lemmy update.
many thanks
Hello friend!! 💜💜
thank you!
Try using a password manager! I use Bitwarden.
G’day MW! Good to see you again. I strongly recommend a password manager. I personally use bitwarden and it’s really good. I know it’s a bit nerve wracking putting all your passwords in one place, especially with what happened to LastPass, but as long as you use a strong master password there’s nothing to worry about
hey! nice to see you and everyone again too.
what happened with last pass?? I can get a free account through work, but sounds like I may not want to…
I’ve decided Marketing Cloud isn’t for me and I think I’ll find another job.
Some rather promising Victorian State Government (multiple positions) roles have come up so I’ll try my luck
How are you finding government roles? On seek?
Careers.vic.gov.au is the best site, I got my SRO contract role through there.
husband insists on playing tv shows with very loud bass sound bar. we have a tiny lounge area and a small screen. I just can’t even stay in the same room, even if it’s a show I love
it’s not immersive, it’s unreal and doesn’t add to the experience ,
Fark it’s cold inside my non insulated house 😔
No go with the trial shift today: I have COVID! Yay!
😱😭💀⚰️

Oh no! Rest up mate!
Gawd walking to dans for goon just now after shifting those couches to the tip yesterday has roooned me.
Quads are on fire.
On the plus side all the neighbours were out doing their gardening things on the way home all saying hello to eachother so that was wholesome.
This morning I was saying g’day to all the adeladinans that walked past me. I got 3 hellos from 9 gdays, but the 6 who didn’t reply all had earphones in so they get a pass I guess
Doing overtime for the first time ever this week. Only an extra hour per day but it’s really taking it out of me! Little extra money next payday will sure be nice though
Nothing makes me feel richer than buying something that’s hidden behind the counter and only has empty boxes on the shelves
Except of course the fact that even a single $1 stamp is hidden behind the counter now
Are you responsible enough with that stamp young friend?
One day you’ll be able to tell the younger generation “back in my day we had stamps and they kept them behind the counter”.
back in my day there used to be stamp vending machines. You put your 2 or 5c coin in and a single stamp would come out and you would have to detach it from the perforations
Are you responsible enough with that stamp young friend?
I don’t think so old friend. I had to google how the hell they worked and even now I’m essentially just guessing. It said it’s $1.20 postage to Melbourne, so I think it’ll arrive. In any case, I learnt through an eBay seller that Auspost don’t just refuse to deliver if you don’t put enough stamps on, they just make the recipient pay the difference, so I can’t really mess up (I think)
Kittenpants was swaying a little while sitting so I was worried about the infection moving to her inner ear. Tied her normal carrier to the pram frame and dragged our butts down to emergency. Yep. Ear infection. They prescribed her more drops but didn’t have the ear cleaner wash in stock.
I’m completely wiped out for the next few days, the normal vet and pet shop will likely be shut tomorrow and so I’ve ordered the ear cleaner wash online and will wipe her ears out with warm water until that arrives. Pet shop didn’t have fast delivery… I’m wondering if I should have chanced it in an uber tomorrow morning and just seen if somewhere was open :(
I just found my spare car key, which I lost about 10 years ago! It was in a magnetic keyholder on the inside of the door of my shed in the carport. Now that I have found it I have a vague recollection of putting it there because I need to move the car to fully open the shed door. Obviously this did not turn out to be a helpful move.
Ah the wonderful recollections of putting an item intentionally somewhere only after you find it. How useful is that?
Hiding it so well you couldn’t find it!
Got a cold call for a job that’s a lot like what I used to do so I’m 95% sure I don’t want it, but I’ve got dragged into a chat with the director on Monday anyway despite telling the recruiter it’s probably not for me??
Am bored/curious so I’ll go, although I don’t like wasting people’s time… but geez the recruiter was persistent. I’m sure he must be getting a cut for any interview he scores even though the chance of converting it into a hire is low
It’s cold outside, going out in full scarf, coat, beanie and gloves kit today.
What happened to the whether inbetween the extremes?
It was only a little itty bitty tiny weenie bit of fluffy wind at the dinner table and I immediately knew that was a mistake.
I’ve ordered another pet pram to replace the ruined one (keeping the frame as a spare part). Support has been a bit spotty the last few weeks and the little one still seems a bit off, so I want the security of knowing I can get Melbcat to the vet by myself in an emergency. My physical health is another matter but the last pram paid for itself.
Really shitty at that cattery for making me shell out again
1am smoke alarm battery pipping. An alarm that was supposedly serviced in January. Fuck these fraudster companies!
Anyone want to play 5 min bad art? I’m bored.
I saw sriracha hommus at Aldi and I wanted to buy it to freak my husband out because IT’S NOT HOMMUS IF THERE’S THINGS ADDED TO IT! 😂
OPP, how can I explain it?
Autumn is here
Move review
A Vampire in the Family. Netflix.
great movie, if only it were that easy irl to get rid of blood sucking in laws

My current decluttering spree is like going back in time through all of my various short-lived hobby enthusiasms. Today was fishing. So much equipment, barely used. ☹️
It mostly looks ok, but a rat has had a nibble on a section of padding on the bag’s carry strap. But everything else looks like it’s in good shape, so hopefully I’ll be able to find it a new home. Alternatively I might have an bunch of “is this available” messages followed by ghosting, it’s always hard to tell which way Marketplace is going to go.
Miss Meow enjoyed going through everything with me, although she was not impressed when I added a piece of paper to the rubbish bag she was sitting in.
I’ve been roped into the footy tipping thing this year, usually manage avoid it. Being in IT, nobody in my immediate team cares. With few exceptions, they know only that the sport exists. They wouldn’t even be able to name more than a couple of teams.
Now, I have to somehow find $25. I feel like I’m in some RPG game.

I haven’t dealt with cash in years. It is very annoying. I am absolutely out of practice.
Sadly my credit card’s interest free period on all purchases has come to an end. For 15 months I have had $10,000 parked in a savings account earning interest, which has gained me about $550 just for not paying off my card. I’m sad to see it go, but I guess its work is done. I just have to get used to seeing a minimal balance in my card offset account again.
lovely and sunny out there
really want to to walk but I must rest
Perfect day for WFH in shorts, uggs and a hoodie.
I love autumn days like this.

They cancelled my offer. I have 3 charges for shoplifting against me from 9 years ago which I mentioned in advance and it was fine.
In fucked now. Completely and utterly fucked.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Mentioned in advance. Then they pulled it out of the hat at the last minute. That is absolutely gross. If they weren’t OK with it, they should have said so earlier - much earlier.
By the way, you can apply to have minor offence charges struck off your record after a period of clean living. Not sure what the period is for shoplifting. Something about the Statute of Limitations. Might be worth enquiring about this at Legal Aid or other community legal service.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Yeah, smells like failing somebody on a drug screen for prescriptions they pre declared. Not cool.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago
!!! This is unbelievable. Do they do public service contracts, is that why they’re so anal? Regardless, how could they tell you one thing and then do another? Aside from being horrific for you it’s a waste of their own time and resources too.
I am so, so sorry. Be gentle with yourself today and try your best to focus on the good that you have brought and will continue to bring to your life and the world. This has got to be a matter of messed up communication or legal requirements. It’s not a black mark on your character even if a part of your brain wants you to think it is. We believe in you!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I really, really needed to hear that.
Thank you ❤️
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Name and shame. We’ll all give them a crank call. Arseholes.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Wtf!! That’s so fucked!! At the same time, that’s a red flag for them to say they’re cool with it and then use it as an excuse. Fuck them!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 year ago
What the fuck?! That’s unbelievably shithouse. I’m so sorry. Nine years - that’s a lifetime ago.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
get your past record cleared then start applying again
and hugs , this sucks,
oztrin@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Oh no. I’m so sorry, for what it’s worth.
Cendana@aussie.zone 1 year ago
😭 Sorry to hear. You don’t deserve this at all.
-hugs-
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Wtf? That’s shithouse on their part, fkn wot. I’m so sorry!
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Oh shit. Much sympathy!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Damn they’re shit to do that.
So sorry to hear this :(
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
That’s really shit. I know you’re probably feeling really really shit (and completely fairly), but when you start to feel better you should write them a strongly worded email, essentially calling them a gaggle of cunts. I guess the silver lining (even though that doesn’t make up for it) is that at least you’ve seen their true colours early on. I know it doesn’t change things, but you’ll probably be better off working elsewhere if that’s the kind of business they run.
::: also if you feel like being petty: spoiler Also, you can name and shame if you feel comfortable doing so. You won’t be sued. The very worst that could happen is you may get a cease and desist (they can be sent for any reason AFAIK), but nothing would hold up in court provided you don’t tell people to harass them or release personal info :::
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Unbelievable. Screw em, not worth working for if they do that.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 year ago
That’s shitty of them, and I’m sorry you’ve been put through that.
