Was supposed to study today but have a migraine. Hopefully itâll be gone soon.
Landed another interview Thursday so thatâs 2 this week!
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Fuck yeah! Nice work on the interviews!
Hope you feel better soon :)

I was just thinking⌠imagine heaven like they show in movies and shows and stuff where there are people in white clothes up amongst the clouds with harps and stuff. Except imagine the weather is like it actually is at that altitude. Just super windy and really cold.
Anyway just thinking about my grandad. Miss you, pop.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Ooh. Apparently thereâs a meeting happening right now to decide what theyâre going to do with the new kid and how theyâll manage the outcomes of it for me.
The results will be either: A. I should suck it up and go home B. He should suck it up and stop breaking the rules C. The department should suck it up and move him elsewhere
I didnât really share very much about exactly how it was affecting me here, because itâs the sort of thing that I feel like will make me sound entitled and like a snowflake. But his move in and the resulting chaos really did affect me. I think it actually affected me more than when I was at the last place and things were really abusive, because back then I didnât miss stability, because I never had any to begin with. But now Iâve had a chance to be in a stable and supportive place where I donât need to always have an ear out of my headphones in case shit hits the fan, or barricade my door for safety, or have to sleep light so I donât get woken up by cops shining a light in my face after opening the wrong room. It was really hard to adjust to that again, and I completely lost all will and motivation to do anything, even eat and drink.
Iâm fairly happy in this hotel, and things are going well again, but I do wonder if it was a good idea to agree to come here. After all, I will probably just walk back into the same shit show I did after returning from my holiday last time. And Iâm not sure I can handle the constant yoyo-ing
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Ideally itâd be B. as it should have been from the beginning, but thatâs unlikely. The next best option is C.
A. is not an option, you really do need to be straight up with them about how badly itâs affected you and youâre well within your rights to crack the shits. Youâre not entitled. Donât let them gaslight you because itâs more convenient for them to be lazy.
They screwed up and put this kid in a setting that he wasnât suited for and itâs disrupting your stability. They need to fix it.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
I have been honest with them about how Iâve been affected by it all. I sent it to my entire care team last monday morning a few hours before I had a care team meeting. I have a few really supportive people in my care team, and 2 of them wrote letters about the situation, too. Thatâs probably a large part of the reason why I ended up in this hotel so quickly.
From what Iâve heard, I actually think C is the best option. Apparently in the weeks leading up to his move in, he was saying he didnât want to move here, and Iâve been told he still doesnât want to be here. It also seems that a lot of the things heâs done since moving in have been the result of wanting to be kicked out. Lead tenant is meant to be a voluntary program, and it doesnât work if people donât genuinely want to be here
Thanks for saying that, Iâve been struggling to talk about it because I know many people have been through worse things, and by world standards Iâm in a good situation. It doesnât help that Iâve actually experienced much worse living situations before, Iâve seen how bad things can get. So being so down while being in a much better position than I was 3 years ago makes me feel ungrateful and selfish.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
A is not a goer imo. B sounds like it was dreamed up by an honest politician (which does not exist). C means the department has to acknowledge it has fucked up - again. Which may not happen. Not a lot of good outcomes on offer here. For now, the hotel is looking more and more like the better short term solution until the kid either goes or cleans up his act. I really hope this situation works itself out in a way that you can cope with.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
So I dont really know the specifics of the situation, but guessing there is a good reason they cant say âB, and if you stuff up one more time youâre out on your assâ to the other kid?
Baku@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yeah thatâs sort of what I meant. There is the strike and warning system thing, and heâs been issued with 1 warning. So 2 more stuff ups would mean being kicked out
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Hope it turns out well for you.
Grackle@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Bad day to be working from home with no heating. Hands and feet are CHILLY.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
pair of fingerless gloves from reject shop is a game changer! If you have a small room you can close the door on youâd be surprised how fast the computer warms the space up too.
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago

Medical procedures, disability, disordered eating
Iâm so beyond angry that a rare undiagnosed medical condition has left me enduring severe pain, nausea, difficulty in eating, and bowel dysfunction for almost 20 years. I havenât had it confirmed yet for sure, tests will have to be done, but possibilities have been raised around MALS and Nutcracker Syndrome. Thereâs also a strong possibility of gastroparesis. All of these are strongly correlated with the rare genetic disability I was born with. Iâm still going to be appreciating food posts and sharing recipes. Iâm not going to let it take that from me too. But Iâm now facing the possibility of needing a temporary nasojejunal feeding tube (a nasal tube that bypasses a broken stomach and goes straight to the small intestine) to support my nutrition. Despite my efforts to keep eating Iâve deteriorated that badly now. Apparently a lot of people with my physical disability do end up requiring feeding tubes and none of the specialists I sought out fucking bothered to tell me. Nope, it must be psychosomatic! And worse than that, while Iâm willing and know what assistance to ask for⌠if I canât arrange it another way I still may end up having to repeatedly attend the ER to try and get some action on that. Which will mean repeatedly boarding my cat and waiting in a hospital for up to 12 hours only to potentially be told thereâs nothing they can do. For as many times as it takes. (Iâve already done this twice to access a referral to gastro specialists in a different hospital, since the ones I had were actively unhelpful and donât do the procedure I was asking for.) And then thereâs refeeding syndrome to face. No pity please, Iâm just incensed and having a rant.

Hugs. Biggest hugs
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thanks. Iâm really pissed, having found out about some fatal outcomes for other people. Iâm hoping things can get somewhat sorted for me.
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thanks for all the lovely wishes you guys 𼲠I had a long day at work which isnât how I usually like to spend it - but it was a really good day nevertheless; I got a free bun quietly added to my bag at the bakery on my walk to work, my colleagues utterly spoiled me with gifts, had a few wins, and I treated myself to Inside Out 2 which was awesome (if a little pat near the end). So many emotions thinking about how itâs been so hard to accept parts of myself. Itâs just the film I needed to feel more accepting about where Iâm at and less torn up about where my sense of self and core values wentâŚ

Bit of a disappointing work today. On Friday I messed up a spreadsheet by simply copying and pasting things wrong. However, I didnât pick up on it until late today, when I had already done a heap of work on it (and spent the whole time wondering why it was throwing so many errors). I really felt like I dropped a notch in my managerâs eyes, as I had to bring them in to work with me to fix the sheet, not to mention other people who I showed the report to who picked up on the same thing. Ever since my interview for this role, iâve been approached by people in different departments saying âtheyâve heard a lot of good things about meâ - apparently someone on the panel has spread word that Iâm some fantastic contributor to the role, and now I feel like that reputation has been tarnished because I couldnât figure out a very simple mistake. Sigh. Wish I could just undo the last few days.
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
These kinds of mess ups really feel so big at the time, but I reckon⌠Youâll be able to look back on it and laugh in the future. It might feel really far away, but I promise this absolutely wonât define you!
If you reckon you thoroughly messed up, maybe an upshot is people have a more realistic expectation of you and it wonât feel like you have as much of a burden on your shoulders. And then maybe youâll get to prove your worth in unexpected ways down the track đ
Baku@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
It turns out it was option D - the option I never mentioned.
Theyâre going to move him out, but not yet. They said he currently has a 2 week transition to the next place, but that still needs to be officially confirmed. Apparently it wonât be longer.
In the meantime it looks like Iâll be staying in this hotel. Although I did ask if I may be able to move to one with a washing machine because I donât want to have to handwash things.
Apparently they also told the other kid a number of my concerns Iâd expressed in my email (but hadnât actually told him) and he got angry and started threatening me. So thatâd probably be why Iâm staying here until he leaves. Before this we were on more of a neutral footing, now he has an active dislike for me. So thatâs nice I guess
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
That sounds like a pretty good result, all things considered. As much as living in a hotel in the short-term isnât ideal, itâs your own space & safe.
And not great that the kidâs now angry at you, but it sounds like you wonât have to see him again?
Hopefully everything stabilises quickly.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
but it sounds like you wonât have to see him again?
Hopefully. The timeline thatâs been proposed is 2 weeks for him to transition elsewhere, but only 1 more week for me here. But thatâs just what theyâre starting with, thereâs room for either side to change as needed
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago

Ugghh. They mismanaged the hell out of that and actively aggravated the situation. Whoever is doing this sucks at their job.
Also this kid needs to take some responsibility - there were conditions for him living there so if he broke the rules and has cops coming around then thatâs on him.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Lol. At this point mishandling things seems to be their M.O.

Good morning friendship pals! The sun is shining(somewhere), the birds are chirping(but not so much), and HOPEFULLY my delivery is coming today. âTransferred at Sunshine Westâ yeah you BETTER BE.
I had a dream where robots invaded the earth so that was cool and I fully support then in their hobbies.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
I ordered some sheets from Kmart almost a fortnight ago and had them redirected to my post office, but then a week ago it said it was âin transitâ twice in my suburb and has never updated to say itâs arrived at my post office
Aradina@lemmy.ml â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Did they send it via couriers please? Every time Iâve gotten something from them they have, and couriers please has managed to fuck something up.

I decided due to my current cough/sniffle combination to call in sick for tomorrow. Risotto will be cooked in a few minutes and I plan to waste the rest of the evening watching videos before going to bed happily knowing I can sleep in as long as I want to. It would be a lot more relaxing plan if I didnât keep sneezing. Mr Woof is not a fan of sneezes and has already evacuated the lounge room.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Washed my hands after throwing away the corned beef plastic wrapper. Water was cold but think nothing of it. Realize I need to pee so I go to the bathroom, stand there, pull it out (as ya do) and then YELP and jump 20 feet into the air. Yeah so turns out the water had made my hands VERY coldâŚ

I had a super vivid dream that I was really really high and tripping out. High in both senses because I was laying on the roof of a tall apartment building and it seemed to be bending over to tip me off. I felt the actual fear and that feeling you get of when youâre about to fall off something but had to keep trying to tell myself it was in my head but it wasnât working. I was holding on for my life!
Baku@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
I donât understand why I still have some residual sniffles⌠I was like the first one to get sick, and that happened 15 days ago, but was probably infected about 19 or 20 ago

Sometimes is stare into the pantry looking for snacks. But Iâm the one that does the shopping so I should know whatâs in there. I guess Iâm hoping something will magically appear or that I have forgotten something my past self bought.

Itâs been a very exciting day today. I have folded laundry, emptied the cat litter bin and sprayed poison liberally around the yard. Now Iâm pondering the question of whether to change into a slightly heavier top before walking the dog.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
thereâs a road closed off near my house. Its well documented, signs everywhere ect. And the amount of people who drive past 6 or 7 signs only to get to the actual closure and go âOh. shit. I guess I have to U turnâ is crazy! The cops should just stand their and just be taking licenses off these folks cause they are showing 0 situational awareness.

Taken some nurofen and had put a hot pack on it.
Iâm in quite a bit of discomfort. Hope the nurofen kicks in soon.

So one of the things I found out while cleaning out the garage was that my old childhood teddy had been left out there - and of course in a spot where it leaked đ.
A soak and then a run through the washing machine on a gentle cycle didnât shift the dirt, so I tried putting him in another pillowcase and running the normal cycle - which got the dirt out but also half the stuffing.
Any suggestions for repairs? I seem to remember there was a discussion recently about it.TypicalNarwhal@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
