Have a great day 👍
Snuck a cheeky can of bourbon into the cinema instead of buying a ludicrously expensive softdrink. Damn The Man. Break the system.

I spoke to a HR person in the IT industry earlier today.
She said for a role, they usually get 40 resumes. Now they’re getting 300.
Fucking hell.
bacon@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Wonderful. I start active job hunting tomorrow now that I’ve gotten all my affairs in order.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I’ve been looking since November and have had 3 interviews. After at least 500 or so applications
bacon@aussie.zone 7 months ago
something entirely out of my hands has gone through so i can now continue with my life and go easy on that productive procrastination
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I’m going to the CBD later to grab some shoes and some t-shirts.
I haven’t left my outer suburb in a couple of weeks. It’s always a shock to the system being around so many people all at once.
I do so miss it though. Once I’m re-established I’m moving closer to the city. Maybe st.kilda again.
Baku@aussie.zone 7 months ago
The city scares me. I’ve been there at 3am on a Saturday morning far too many times for my own good
SituationCake@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Same, don’t go to the city often and it’s always so busy. I used to work in the city about 15years ago and don’t remember it being as busy, maybe it’s because there’s lots more residential around CBD and inner suburbs. My ideal living location would be close to city but also quiet area with some garden and tress around, which of course is contrary to inner city density and I’m not rich enough for that kind of extravagance.
Nath@aussie.zone 7 months ago
There’s some lovely leafy pockets in East Melbourne, and Carlton. Both areas are stupid expensive, however.

Work goals kicked today. Got some kudos from higher ups that I never deal with.
Feel good, but also now they’ve put a face to my name and I cannot remain hidden behind and email signature.
Also hate setting the bar high
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Depression lapse sucks. Today I am going to be reading and rereading the chapter on tolerance of ambiguity and other cognitive ways of thinking.
This one is a hard nut to crack, my thinking is too fast, I can’t see where the wrong thinking starts. I need to peel back the layers until I can get to the problem.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I know meditation and somatic stuff isn’t for everyone but when I hit a wall in the CBT thing of ‘see, intercept and change the thought’ I got (and get) a lot out of somatic stuff. Breathing, feeling where it hurts, not questioning just feeling through it. I can chuck you a couple of references if you want. I have some deep grief stuff that I will always carry as a pattern and in some ways that’s ok with me. For me those things are to be felt and held then placed back in their place. I kinda go back and forth between the two (CBT/somatic).
100% have my sympathy about fast moving mind. That’s the problem with feelings - they happen down there in your nervous system and it’s so fucking fast.
Catfish@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I 🖤 my locals. Swapped many books, borrowed a ladder, lent a pruning saw. Acquired mulberries, gifted plums.
Can’t afford to buy here. Arse.

You obviously can’t follow instructions
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
They don’t follow pricing instructions.
They are supposed to be one a penny, two a penny.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
So I have possibly two opportunities here for my other 3 days…
-
Flexible work that is casual and pays well but is absolutely braindead and will not further my career whatsoever, would be working solo or with other casuals who I probably won’t give a crap about. And requires regular interstate travel. Still, unlikely to burn out as I can choose to not work whenever I want, and lots of upcoming work in the May-June period.
-
Permanent PT work that makes better use of my skills. Will require commitment, is more challenging but could also be mentally/emotionally taxing, higher chance of burning out if I’m not careful. Definitely no scope to be as flexible as #1 in terms of taking time off. But is based close to home, will definitely advance my career, work with very well regarded professionals. Haven’t discussed pay.
I don’t need permanent employment right now - ideally just need to make bank before July and then take it easier for a year while I finish my degree - plus I love being able to go somewhere different each time, and the flexibility is REALLY tempting, like massively so, on a practical and personal level… I don’t actually want to go back to full time hours really.
I would’ve gone for #1 straightaway if not for #2 cropping up first.
But having heard #2 out, it does seem like a better medium to long term option and could make me feel more fulfilled and connected IF I manage my time and energy right. I’m torn!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I call braindead work work that leaves my mind free to think what I ever want.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I definitely appreciate that breathing space especially as the work is not desk based (but also not physically taxing). I wouldn’t do it forever but it is a nice option in between, wish I’d found out about it earlier this year tbh.
Catfish@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I’m having a hard time braining flexible and regularly interstate at the same time. That needs forward planning surely?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
It’s flexible in that there’s no commitment to ongoing work on either side. I could go for 3 days one week and then not the next, if that makes sense. Rather than having to commit to 3 days every week for months
Duenan@aussie.zone 7 months ago
How much time do you have to think about your options?
Ultimately It’ll come down to your wellbeing and health vs needing fancial stability.
Option 1 could be great if it continued on for awhile and also the flexibility it offers.
Option 2 would give you stability, possible advancement and longer term work at the cost of a higher emotional load and loss of flexibility. Being close to home also would be a plus in my book.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I have a couple of weeks to decide on option 2. If I go with option 1, I will need to shift my current working days to accommodate, but that may take a few extra weeks, so no immediate cash sadly.

rant about ex
I keep thinking about that stupid DM my ex sent me on Reddit, and I was getting annoyed that it was still on my mind. Like, why am I angry at it? I realised it’s because, despite claiming to have grown since we split, she is still just as self-centred as usual. She hasn’t grown, or changed. This is just the same text-wall shit they would send me while I was at work, listing all the reasons I suck and am bad, and expect me to reply instantly and if I didn’t I was accused of cheating. Like, same shit, just without the accusations of infidelity. That DM was better off journalled and shown to their therapist tbh. They acknowledge they weren’t a great person, but in the same sentence claim I wasn’t either. Like, that isn’t anything, nothing substantial. Just “I was bad… But so were you!!” Stupid motherfucker, dumbass, shitstained cunt. She already lives rent free in my head due to CPTSD, like get out of my DMs you fuck knuckle. Does your girlfriend know you sent that drivel to me at 3am on a Monday morning?? Go pay attention to her ffs. You claim to have read my Reddit comments, why did you feel the need to send me that after I told everyone on there you’re a rapist abuser? Fuck off with that shit you slimeball.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 7 months ago
The effects of other people can really linger in our minds. If you no longer want contact, a simple reply of something like ‘I don’t want to revisit our past, or have any further contact. Please don’t contact me again’ and then block number. Message is useful because it’s closure for you and sets a clear boundary, but if you think it’s better for your mental health to not reply at all, just block number and say good bye to that part of your life.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
so many hugs
and time for new reddit accounts

I honestly feel like 90% of my life is a constant exercise in restraining myself when it comes to food.

Beer, whiskey, binge watching shit, ugg Boots, stretched out on the couch.
LET THE LONG WEEKEND COMMENCE!!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Not cold enough for uggs at mine despite the windows open and no carpeting anywhere, but enjoying track pants and fuzzy blanket on the couch after all these weeks in shorts.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I’ve got shorts and ugga on. Either that or it’s trackies and bare feet
I opted for the UGGs
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Wow. Feel like I packed three weeks into those four work days. Stoped off for a meal on the way home. Laying low this weekend so can shout myself a meal and a drink. 🥂🥂

Bloody hell, another car accident happened right in front of me. Just around the corner from the last one. This one seems a lot more minor though, judging mainly on the fact I barely heard the thud and the beeping lasted about 2 seconds. Everybody looks fine

My revanced broke again so I had to repatch it and I’m loving how easy it is to patch now. When I first hopped on revanced after the og Vanced died, i had to go digging through random APK websites to find the right YouTube APK, then painstakingly choose the patches I wanted, then it took around 20-30 minutes to patch it, couldn’t do other things while I was waiting or it’d abort. Couldn’t read notifications or it’d abort. Then I had to force stop and disable OG YouTube, then when things broke I had to do it all over again
Now it’s so much easier, I just push a button and it takes me where I need to be to download the recommended apk version, the patches all come pre selected and only take 2 mins at most to patch, I disabled the original YouTube just so I don’t get confused, but that’s not required. When I’ve gotta update, I don’t need to uninstall the previous version of patched YouTube anymore, it’s all so simple now
How do the people working on a small passion project completely for free in their spare time just out of spite for advertising manage to fix their app faster than google or Reddit do?
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I couldn’t live without revanced. I refuse to pay for YouTube or tolerate their ads.

I like 2 minute noodles. I do not like the after burp taste.
bacon@aussie.zone 7 months ago
i sometimes take a fish oil pill to counter that palm oil somewhat
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Is that what that reoccurring taste is? It’s why I don’t eat them very often.

I was just about to go down to the post office to see if my package was chilling there when I heard a thud and my package is just in front of my door. No postman in sight, like a little package fairy.
It seems that the second digit of my address had been scratched off (but nothing else on it), so now I’m even more confused. It looks almost intentional. But if it wasn’t delivered because the number was scratched, that’s even more confusing. Why did the tracking say it was delivered? Why was the neighbours package delivered to me? Was this the package god just testing my faith? Will we ever know all the answers?
Without ranting on it too much, I think I’m just going to chalk it up to both human error, and trying to game the system. It was initially meant to be delivered by the PDC boys, I believe from memory they get paid per delivery like uber eats people, and they have massive delivery zones, so I don’t blame them for just marking it delivered and then taking it to the LPO. But I still think they got confused and meant to take my neighbours to the PO rather than give it to me, but it is what it is I guess.

Saw Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire this evening. I like that they’re not taking it too seriously these days with this franchise. It’s simple storied, full of cheese exposition and it’s big dumb fun. There is a place in the world for kaiju movies which delve into human nature and deeper meanings but this franchise ain’t it… and that’s just fine by me.
