  Now to deal with the knob that didn’t get it and will be reporting straight to me.

    deal with the knob

    not sure an employee of your level should be doing that at work.

      My knob work is one of my key skills.

      We’ve clashed heads before. I’ve been here longer whilst he is a bit older and therefore thinks he should be in charge.

      Problem is, no one likes him including management.

  An adjacent manager found out about my new role and rang me earlier with a heartfelt congratulations.

  This means one of two things (or both)

  My old boss wasn’t well liked.

  I am very liked.

  The amount of support I’ve received today from all over the organisation made me tear up nearly.

  Is this what it feels like to be human?

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    so many hugs 😽

    This is how it’s meant to be. It’s nice to feel appreciated and supported and liked .

    source

    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I am not used to this, but happy it happened.

      source
  • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Dunno about ‘human’, but this is def how it feels to be the hero. Enjoy it while it lasts, which will not be long. I speak from experience here. Once you start doing things the way they should be done, expect a backlash.

    source

    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m ready for it. As long as I can drop it after work hours, I’ll be fine.

      source
  • Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You obviously deserve it for your hard work and how you treat others ❤️

      Thanks mate

      source
    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think it’s cause I’m less than a prick compared to others.

      Either way I’ll, take it

      source
  • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It shouldn’t be a super power to feel supported but unfortunately it is… The great thing is that you now know how it feels, you can be a spreader of it and watch people bloom.💐

    source

    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Also it’s a fixed position for a few months. Just enough to make a good impression but not long enough to be negative. Happy to be a placeholder

  G’day mates I’m back and I’m braindead. Happy to say immigration/e-gates were much less of a shit show than late last year even though there were still a couple of kiosks out of action. Seems like all airports are moving primarily towards facial recognition, had so many photos taken

    Time for you to go home and relax now! Don’t forget to rug up, it’s been cold here lately.

      Thank you! And in typical Melbourne welcome someone tries to cut in front of the driver merging onto an onramp almost causing an accident. 😆

      I’ve had no caffeine for quite a while now and slept through the tea service on the plane. Think I’ll just coast through the rest of day with a hot chocolate so I catch up on some quality sleep tonight.

    We’ll be heading to Japan in the near future so I’ll be asking you a lot of questions.

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Always happy to help! Bear in mind I’m moderately fluent in he language and have been a few times so there’s stuff that’s relevant to others that I may not be aware of, but shoot away when you’re ready.

      I wish to report that I had some super juicy and delectable gyoza for my last meal before heading to the airport.

      Now looking forward to see how my extremely hasty literally last minute first ever chilli ferment is going. Those scotch bonnets almost smelled like carrots when I blitzed them, so fresh. I hope nothing bad has grown and that no receptacles have exploded

      I’d say q solid 7/10. Accom really could’ve been planned better and felt I didn’t always get the right momentum or do what I really wanted to, but also some magical moments throughout. My cup is full

  I was offered the role. Then I asked if my expected pay had been considered, that it was more than my current pay. I was told it hadn’t been, but that they’d get back to me shortly. Got back to me: "look I spoke to the big boss, and he says now your current role and the one Ur going for are considered equal (my current role used be considered lesser), your pay is appropriate and would remain the same. I told them I would consider that over the long weekend.

  Also just learned that ANOTHER person quit in the role I’m going for, bringing the total to four open positions, and as far as I know, I’m the only internal applicant. The fuckers have the gall to not offer me anything.

  source

  • dumblederp@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    So the new tip is to put the new job on your resume and start applying for similar roles with better pay.

    source
  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Unless you want the challenge or you’re going to come out of it with some sort of advantage I don’t see why you would take on a role with more or greater responsibility and challenges with no change in pay.

    source
  • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Sounds like you have a bit of leverage there but also seems a bit worrying that people keep quitting…

    source

  We got a royal welcoming committee in Donald. I think the entire town was here to greet us! All the school kids were lined up waving to us, all the industrial business we passed had nobody working - everybody was at the fence waving to us. Every level crossing there were 5-10 people waving

  I’ve been on many heritage trains, but I’ve never had a reception quite like that

  I’m not sure anyone told them we were running 50 minutes late and our 30-40 min stop was going to turn into a 10 min one though, so I think we disappointed them a little :(

  Wow. It seems all the other social sites are in a competition for who can become the worst the fastest. Reddit has jumped on the selling data to AI bandwagon, as has Facebook and Instagram. Tumblr is still banning trans women while leaving up nonconsensual deepfake nudes and is also now crawling with minors.

  Cursing my shitty body and dodgy area. Never have I wished to touch grass more.

  Never realised how bad it is not having my own washing machine until now—testing positive a week later. I ran out of towels near the start as I was due for a wash and I just ran out of clean clothes then.

  My only symptom now is reduced smell and I feel fine in every other respect, but I’m not gonna be that person who rocks up to the laundromat covid positive—it can wait (hopefully).

  Soooo our train has stopped at woomelang, but it stopped after the crossing signal on a little temporary platform thing. It’s been sitting here for 30 minutes triggering the level crossing and we still have another half hour here… Nobody’s moving it, it’s just idling on the platform setting off the crossing alarms.

  There’s no barriers, but people are really confused about what they’re meant to do
