deal with the knob
not sure an employee of your level should be doing that at work.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
My knob work is one of my key skills.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Congrats! Have fun turning the knob!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Knob work is always fun
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago
The second bit sounds not fun, but conga rats!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
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.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Yay, congrats!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Cheers

Congratulations 🎉

Thanking you

Happy long weekend calhound. 🍗

Calhound… How have I never thought of that…? haha

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?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
so many hugs 😽
This is how it’s meant to be. It’s nice to feel appreciated and supported and liked .
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I am not used to this, but happy it happened.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 months 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.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’m ready for it. As long as I can drop it after work hours, I’ll be fine.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
You obviously deserve it for your hard work and how you treat others ❤️
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Thanks mate
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I think it’s cause I’m less than a prick compared to others.
Either way I’ll, take it
Eagle@aussie.zone 5 months 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.💐
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months 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
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I am very liked
Invtie them to your bjj gym.

“Under new management all decisions will be decided by kumite. The Lunch room is now known as The Pit.”
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
We have a budget for team buildings. I am definitely suggesting it.
Might get a bit of a kick back from the gym owner too.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
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
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Welcome back! We have arranged a long weekend in your honour!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Sure feels good to be King 👑
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Welcome back Kitten!
Time for you to go home and relax now! Don’t forget to rug up, it’s been cold here lately.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
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.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Welcome home jk.
We’ll be heading to Japan in the near future so I’ll be asking you a lot of questions.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months 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.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 months ago
You’re back! Welcome hooooome.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
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
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Welcome back big kitty!! How was the trip overall?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
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
bull@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Konnichiwa and g’day!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
'Sgarn? Ah yeah mate, living the dream, can’t comploin
wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Really? That’s saying something because I went through them 6 weeks ago and the whole thing was still a shit show.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Welcome back!
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 months ago
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.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 5 months ago
So the new tip is to put the new job on your resume and start applying for similar roles with better pay.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 months 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.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Sounds like you have a bit of leverage there but also seems a bit worrying that people keep quitting…
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Don’t take it. Make the fuckers work for an external.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I will not be partaking in alcoholic beverages tonight due to urgent business early tomorrow morning but will be making up for that tomorrow day/evening/ night.
For those who will be have a great night. Cheers 🍺
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I have been offered 2 champagnes today, both before 10am…
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
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 :(
Nath@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Do you guys think @Lodion will be mad at me if I let slip that it’s his birthday? 🎂
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Student Amenities paid for, tuition on a payment plan. Totally fully enrolled! Holy shit!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I did the pantry shop. Cost a bit more than expected but have quite a few meals now ready to go as backup!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 months ago
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.
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 5 months ago
A colleague why had Covid last week is back in the office and visibly not recovered. We Can either take sick day, come into office or wfh AND make up an extra office day. Meanwhile I hope my mask is doing its job… I did have to remove it briefly to drink water though.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
potatoes and fish in oven, fresh vegies on stove to steam , dinner in 10. I always cook an extra piece of fish for the cats to share. 🐟🐈⬛🐈⬛
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Shit. Volunteered at a thing. Now I need to show up. And not be shit.

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).
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
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

Lungs being fucky and my inhaler is empty. Need to go get a new one but the weather will make my lungs even fuckier on the walk there.
Bah.

For the first time in over 30 years, a Mildura bound train has left from Maryborough! We’re running about 40 minutes late because a freight train was also running 40 minutes late
Dalek_Thal@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I think I have covid - one of my coworkers came in with it, tested positive that evening, and now I’m fluey.
My partner is casual.
What the fuck do we do here? Are we just expected to take the financial hit in a COL crisis?

Transiting in HKG with another hour to kill. Just want to sleeeeep

I am in so many photos and videos now. So many! I need to start demanding royalties for the 3 whole pixels I take up in most of them

Using loseit for cico atm and it just popped up in my notifs to tell me weight loss was the most important thing in life. Jesus fucking christ

Cafes charging 20 dollars for a bowl of granola is really quite obscene. Obviously I avoid this egregiousness but somebody must be forking out for these businesses to stay open.
bull@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Taco Bills must have heard me talking about them because I’ve received an email from them saying 1/2 priced main meals this weekend and boy oh boy am I tempted to jump on a tram and go see them.

That tail is so goddamn floofy it’s ridiculous lol

Did you interrupt your cat having a shit?

No, he’s just getting comfy!

Honestly the woolies bag is the most underrated cat toy on the planet.
