  Oof, that was not a good sleep… Had to sleep with headphones listening to YouTube because my mind just wouldn’t turn off and I was so paranoid and anxious. Everytime I turned over I was like “but now my back is to the door, what if somebody comes in”, and same goes for laying the other way and having my back to the window. Spent 2 hours trying to fall asleep, then woke up every 40 minutes or so in a sweat and had to get up and check that my door and window were both still locked

  The worker who was here overnight gave me good vibes. Big Islander dude, seemed chill. No worries about my safety (logically, anyway). That’s probably why I got my 3 hours of sleep at all

    • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It probably would, but I’m not sure it’s worth the effort. As I discovered yesterday, this lock holds up surprisingly well to break in attempts (deadbolt) and kick attempts. The only way in is either a key (which is kept at the office and the workers don’t have access to), or a solid hip and shoulder in which case I probably have bigger problems

  During lockdowns I found a website 1001 Albums to listen to before you die.

  I try to do an album a day during the week, but sometimes cannot be bothered.

  It’s definitely broadened by musical horizons, but has also introduced me to some absolutely crap (yes I know music is subjective) that is somehow popular.

  Definitely suggest it to everyone.

  Fucking hell I need to get better security on all of my stuff.

  I realised that the drongo also nicked an Xbox I had in my spare room. I haven’t played it in some time, but apparently at some stage it’s become disconnected from my Microsoft account so I can’t report it stolen or get the serial number. My MacBook I’d just reset like a month ago and forgot to turn on find my device. And I got an email from Amazon that somebody was trying to reset my password. I rejected the request but realised I forgot to sign out of prime on a hotel tv, so I reset my password. Which deregistered my echo dot from my Amazon account, so I can’t get the serial number.

  I thought I was good at keeping my devices secure and locked down. Evidently I am not anywhere near as good as I thought. I guess I’ve felt too safe for too long to keep up with maintenance and security. I suppose it’s a learning opportunity but I just feel like an idiot. Ugh

    All this stuff doesn’t fall under the normal category, you were a victim of crime, which sucks but is not your fault.

    • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      But I could probably make it a lot more difficult to shift all the stuff he’s stolen if I caught it quickly and reported everything as stolen. Also if I had find my mac on

    it happens

    I change computers and lose passwords to email accounts, then what ever is attached to that email is basically fucked

    at least i don’t have anything on my phone and I use bluetooth as little as possible and never ever use public wifi

    echo and that stuff, not in a million years

    even so, I do have various shopping accounts

    source

    • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      My phone is probably the safest thing I own honestly. Strong password I change often, and googles rolled out their find my iphone knockoff that uses all the bluetooth and wifi stuff to ping its location back to base if GPS isn’t working. Apparently it doesn’t work very well yet, but I have faith it’ll improve. Or google will get a new toy and scrap it. really 50/50 odds tbh

  I’m starting to feel more safe now. Still not 100, not even 30% honestly, but each day that passes, I feel 1 or 2% safer. I’m still jumping at noises, still lock my room when I go to the bathroom, and have a just I’m case knife on my bedside table.

  I finally wrote an email to my care team informing them of the situation, they’ll probably start checking in more frequently, and will also put pressure on the org to replace my stolen and damaged stuff. The police assistance line said I should call the station handling the case tomorrow if they don’t contact me first, but tomorrow’s a busy day so I might give them a bonus 24 hours. My spare room is still a “crime scene” though, so I can’t work on cleaning it up, or go tinker with my projects.

  In a kind of dark and twisted way, it’s also ironic that they moved him in here to cut costs (Resi is expensive), and in the end it’s probably coated them the same if not more. I’d say he’s caused about 1-2k in property damage to them alone, plus about 1.5k to me (plus another 1.5k in theft). They also had to have 24/7 staffing while he was alone, and even now since I still don’t feel safe, they’re still paying for an overnight worker. Really the only thing they really “saved” was not having to buy groceries for him, but it seems like he was bad with managing money, so they probably had to anyway. Seems like the cost cutting really worked for them 🙄🙄

  Oh, also, I think I have permanent, irrevocable “I told you so” rights now…

  source

  • Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That feeling of safety should hopefully return soon back to 100%.

    Such a fucked situation that no doubt people in these agencies should have prepared for.

    Don’t let them get away with not replacing your stuff. That’s the least they can do.

    I already had a fairly low opinion of the department of human services. And yet they still continue to fuck up.

      I already had a fairly low opinion of the department of human services

      That’s why they rebrand every 2 years, silly! Since 2013 I think it’s gone DHHS > DHS & DoH > DHHS > DFFH & DoH. They split and merge the department of health and the department of human services more often than Melbourne rebrands public transport agencies and operators. For now, it’s the department of families, fairness, and housing, until they want to merge the department of health in again

  Today’s “you must’ve had a shit day mate” award runner up prize goes to the young bloke in hi viz who exited his car as it was at a 30 degree incline on the back of a tow truck and had to climb down.

  The winner goes to whoever is gonna be held responsible for the Derrimut factory fire.

  On a brighter note, some really lovely news, I received a surprisingly chunky bonus from one of my jobs (despite not being there that long). I have the option of salary sacrificing it or having it paid out as taxed wages. I would’ve liked to put it all to super but frankly I could do with liquid cash atm. Buys me more time later in the year for when I can’t work as hard.

  Now to whip up some hearty green curry. So good for throwing all the veg in!!

  Put together my new bed last night. Added the mattress. Took a good 3 hours by myself, but it didn’t break apart (and only one minor mistake that I managed to fix without having to take everything apart.

  Slept like a baby. Bit sore today though. I guess a mix of putting the bed together and the new mattress.

  Now it’s clean up. Soooo much styrofoam. The cardboard is in the car to take to the transfer station. Then gotta put the old bed in the car for the next trip. And then somehow get the mattress there.
