đNational Single Parents Dayđ
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 đŞđ˝
Wishing you the best of luck!
Wicked!
Got the word this afternoon that my role is being extended for another 18 months. They couldnât swing making it permanent, but weâll look at that again in 18 monthsâ time. No going back to Operations. All Strategy for me!
Getting paid big bucks to be the ideas man, thatâs 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!! đđ
thank you!

indeed
Try using a password manager! I use Bitwarden.
Gâday MW! Good to see you again. I strongly recommend a password manager. I personally use bitwarden and itâs really good. I know itâs 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 thereâs 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 toâŚ
Iâve decided Marketing Cloud isnât for me and I think Iâll find another job.
Some rather promising Victorian State Government (multiple positions) roles have come up so Iâll 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 canât even stay in the same room, even if itâs a show I love
itâs not immersive, itâs unreal and doesnât add to the experience ,
Fark itâs cold inside my non insulated house đ
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 gâday to all the adeladinans that walked past me. I got 3 hellos from 9 gdays, but the 6 who didnât 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 itâs really taking it out of me! Little extra money next payday will sure be nice though
Nothing makes me feel richer than buying something thatâs 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 youâll be able to tell the younger generation âback in my day we had stamps and they kept them behind the counterâ.
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 donât think so old friend. I had to google how the hell they worked and even now Iâm essentially just guessing. It said itâs $1.20 postage to Melbourne, so I think itâll arrive. In any case, I learnt through an eBay seller that Auspost donât just refuse to deliver if you donât put enough stamps on, they just make the recipient pay the difference, so I canât 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 didnât have the ear cleaner wash in stock.
Iâm completely wiped out for the next few days, the normal vet and pet shop will likely be shut tomorrow and so Iâve ordered the ear cleaner wash online and will wipe her ears out with warm water until that arrives. Pet shop didnât have fast delivery⌠Iâm 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 couldnât find it!
Got a cold call for a job thatâs a lot like what I used to do so Iâm 95% sure I donât want it, but Iâve got dragged into a chat with the director on Monday anyway despite telling the recruiter itâs probably not for me??
Am bored/curious so Iâll go, although I donât like wasting peopleâs time⌠but geez the recruiter was persistent. Iâm sure he must be getting a cut for any interview he scores even though the chance of converting it into a hire is low
Itâs 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.
Iâve 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? Iâm bored.
I saw sriracha hommus at Aldi and I wanted to buy it to freak my husband out because ITâS NOT HOMMUS IF THEREâS THINGS ADDED TO IT! đ
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. âšď¸
It mostly looks ok, but a rat has had a nibble on a section of padding on the bagâs carry strap. But everything else looks like itâs in good shape, so hopefully Iâll be able to find it a new home. Alternatively I might have an bunch of âis this availableâ messages followed by ghosting, itâs 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.
Iâve 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 wouldnât even be able to name more than a couple of teams.
Now, I have to somehow find $25. I feel like Iâm in some RPG game.
Quest: Join Footy Tipping competition
You need:

I havenât dealt with cash in years. It is very annoying. I am absolutely out of practice.
Sadly my credit cardâs 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. Iâm 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 â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Mentioned in advance. Then they pulled it out of the hat at the last minute. That is absolutely gross. If they werenât 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 â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yeah, smells like failing somebody on a drug screen for prescriptions they pre declared. Not cool.
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
!!! This is unbelievable. Do they do public service contracts, is that why theyâre so anal? Regardless, how could they tell you one thing and then do another? Aside from being horrific for you itâs 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. Itâs 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 â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
I really, really needed to hear that.
Thank you â¤ď¸
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Name and shame. Weâll all give them a crank call. Arseholes.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Wtf!! Thatâs so fucked!! At the same time, thatâs a red flag for them to say theyâre cool with it and then use it as an excuse. Fuck them!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
What the fuck?! Thatâs unbelievably shithouse. Iâm so sorry. Nine years - thatâs a lifetime ago.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
get your past record cleared then start applying again
and hugs , this sucks,
oztrin@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oh no. Iâm so sorry, for what itâs worth.
Cendana@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
đ Sorry to hear. You donât deserve this at all.
-hugs-
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Wtf? Thatâs shithouse on their part, fkn wot. Iâm so sorry!
Catfish@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oh shit. Much sympathy!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Damn theyâre shit to do that.
So sorry to hear this :(
Baku@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thatâs really shit. I know youâre 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 doesnât make up for it) is that at least youâve seen their true colours early on. I know it doesnât change things, but youâll probably be better off working elsewhere if thatâs 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 wonât 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 donât tell people to harass them or release personal info :::
tone212_@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Unbelievable. Screw em, not worth working for if they do that.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thatâs shitty of them, and Iâm sorry youâve been put through that.
