Reference has been given. Sounds like it went well! Thanks again to the poster here who was able to help me with that. Very much in their debt.
Now I’ll get a call from the recruiter later today or tomorrow which will give me the final word that we are all a go for next week.
Fingers crossed!
🤞
🤞🤞🤞
You got this!!!
Good to hear dude, keep us all posted!
🤞
Woo I passed my CASPer test which means I should be transferring into Bachelor of Education by next semester!
Like Casper the ghost?

Some scenario based test to determine if youre not a sociopath. Had to record myself answering and everything.
I’m on lunch and looked that up to amuse myself - some of those scenarios are really tricky.
Well done you!
Thanks. I had COVID when I did it too so I was super glad I managed to get through it all.
This is great… I’m now vomiting liquid more frequently, cold all the time, getting dehydrated and sleeping a lot. My stomach is slowly shutting down and my doctor is telling me that I’m at risk of sudden death from malnutrition. I’ve been trying to get a feeding tube for a while but the medical system is very slow and obstructive so I have a weird sense that I possibly might not make it.
so many hugs
This… it sucks but when the slow grind fails ER can express route
That’s the plan. I’ve done so before but didn’t get the procedure so I may need to keep returning
I’m so sorry. That sounds awful. I really hope that things improve. I know it’s cliche, and easier said than done, but staying positive and hopeful can help with coping and recovering from medical issues. You can get through this. DT needs you, stay strong.
That’s terrifying and I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I hope things improve and you have naught to fear. Sending my love and good vibes💜
Take care Melbaboutown -hugs- really hope you will recover soon, please do let us know if you also need anything too.
Beautiful. I love it when they’re a soft sleepy potato
That is so cute!
Cosy fluff muffin 🧡
Oh my goodness!!!
Happy Go-Live day folks! A project that should’ve taken max 3 weeks but ended up taking closer to 3 months is finally going in today. Threatened my team that if they bring up one more “Oh, BTW I just thought of X” in front of the vendor the next thing I deliver for them will be a resignation letter. I’m joking, but not really. I no longer care if we deliver the most broken thing in the world, I just want it off my damn plate.
What a blessing!
such a cheeky boy, I love him 💖
Just so long as he doesn’t leave a chocolate drop on the pillow …
Oh he’s precious!
I did not expect my lovely little trip to feature a visit to urgent care, but here we are. After vomiting all day they’ve given me anti-nausea stuff. Hopefully I can actually enjoy the rest of the trip!
I missed your last comment, so I thought you were talking about a different type of trip. In any case, I hope you recover quickly and are able to enjoy the rest of your trip!!
Hope the problem clears up soon!
Just went through the performance discussion and I still have my job. It just seems like I’ll be getting around on 1 HP at work for a while.
My biggest hope is nothing else happens any time soon as it will be too many mistakes close together. I think I’m going to work on getting out of here and at least this allows me to leave on my own terms.
Getting a hang of waking up early again. Up at 7am today and didn’t go back to sleep. Just have to keep it up for another few days and I’ll be set for next week.
Omfg the amount of bloatware on this laptop is insane! Windows really is just bloat at this point. It reminds me of when I was younger and used to have a cheap shitty Optus/Telstra phone they probably sold as a loss leader. They used to come with sooo much bloatware. Even the cheap Samsung’s used to.
But seriously. No I don’t fucking want Norton, LinkedIn, candy crush, Microsoft maps, or Facebook. God. And everything is so pushy, why can’t it be quiet bloatware.
Open edge Search for chrome “There’s no need to switch to another browser! Edge performs better.” Close popup Go to the download chrome page “Microsoft edge performs up to 3x faster than >google chrome!” Close popup Download chrome Open chrome “Installer error! Failed with error code 57” Norton popup: “we found a threat on your device! But don’t worry. We blocked it.”
I NEVER WANTED NORTON OR EDGE I JUST WANT CHROOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEEEEE. FUCK. OFF
this was also after about 15 minutes of trying to figure out how to fuck all the Microsoft garbage off and just use a local account.
And now:
MSI Centre popup: “Have you backed up your system?”
NO I HAVEN’T BACKED UP MY FUCKING SYSTEM THERE’S NOTHING TO BACKUP YET YOU DONKEY! I HAVENT EVEN INSTALLED CHROME YET!!!
On the way home from tennis. I gave myself two options: 1. Take PT home and order delivery or 2. Take a cab home and make food instead. I did neither, took PT home and will make food instead of ordering in. Go me!
Update: it just arrived. I checked the tracking at 7:18 and it was still saying ready for processing so I went to the kitchen to grab some cheeky ice cream, and then there was a surprise knock on my door! Delivered at 7:21, and after double checking the tracking they’ve retroactively marked it as on board for delivery in Tullamarine at 7:12 (definitely wasn’t there before). I’m a lot more than 8 minutes from tullamarine. I’ll be honest - I jumped when I heard the knock
Not complaining though, that was blood efficient. I mean look at this!
Honestly this weather is so fucking shit. Literally have not left the house today and frankly it’s probably going to stay that way.
I’ve been walking around with my shirt on inside out. I’m not changing it because that would be unlucky.
I’m loving that the sun is shining a bit brighter everyday. 🌞
Anti-gratitude thread >:(
Friend from uni cancelled on me and the reason was because something minor came up apparently. Didn’t say what. Last time we were meant to catch up, they hadn’t even left the house and were half an hour away at the time we were supposed to meet, so I told them we can reschedule. I have cancelled on them last minute before as well, but this is not the only time they’ve done it. Time to find alternative social arrangements for this week, because I will go insane without seeing people.
I think the weight I’ve gained, in an attempt to gain muscle, is just belly fat
Lol, MIL isnt feeling great, so drinks are off and games are on.
Straightened my hair for nothing. I never straighten my hair, usually just leave it bushy, or under a beanie. Bleh.
Maybe I’ll try and convince my better-half of a pub meal. I haven’t eaten all day.
All done with my meetings for today. Sadly there has been a casualty though as I somehow tore a big hole in one of my pairs of Melbourne Storm bamboo cotton boxers. Not where you’d think either… it’s almost up near my left hip. Anyways RIP boxers, you touched me in tender places and held me close.
Been trying to teach myself how to make a business website using Wordpress, because I can’t really afford to pay someone thousands to do it for me. Thought it would be easy, but it’s really not. Now I realise why people pay professionals for Wordpress websites.
Using a theme as a base is the way to go for a beginner like me, but so many of the free themes on offer are so template-y looking. Can tell from a mile away it’s a home job website made by someone with no idea. I’d start with a basic theme thinking I could make it look good, only to realise I can’t and the customisation level is so limited (or I can’t figure out how to make larger customisations).
Now after hours of searching, I’ve found a nice looking template. Starting all over again with customising it. Hope this one works.
Ahh… I’ve been feeding Melbcat many treats to keep her appetite up and her tummy lined, and they contain sugar in the form of molasses. At the vet I saw some redness on her gums and tartar on her teeth. I wonder how far I’d get brushing them.
Unfortunately there aren’t very many other treats she can have.
Another speeding fine. I may strangle him.
“Hey siri, is it going to rain today?” “No. Rain is not expected today. It will be cloudy with a top of x”
That lying fucker.
So my replacement laptop is coming today (possibly). They had an option I’ve never seen before - “Australia Post next day evening (6-9pm)”. I decided to go with this one instead of express post, because surprisingly it was actually a dollar cheaper. Apparently this is part of some service called Australia Post metro express, or possibly startrack courier (both things I never knew existed). The shipping info said they did the pre lodgement at 1pm, and apparently it WILL arrive within the next 4 hours.
I’m really sceptical, because since when do Australia Post do after hours delivery, and half the time their next day shipping doesn’t even happen. But I will update you all later. If it actually does arrive, then I’m going to think I’m in a dream
MWave still hasn’t sent my GPU. I ordered it 2 days ago. And I paid like 20 bucks to have it express posted so I’d get it before weeks end, but it doesn’t seem like that’s going to be happening. Bloody rude.
Great, now my body thinks I want to be awake at 4am. Ffs.
Slow, slow start to the morning. I told work I might get a bit done today but unlikely to be a full day and I wouldn’t push myself. I’m kind of over lounging around on the couch watching TV all day (got through two seasons of Slow Horses yesterday).
Shitty sleep last night, sweated right though everything again :( so first port of call today, after a slow shower, was to get my big blanket washed at the laundromat. Coordinated nicely between that, picking up work laptop, taking a load of clothes washed at home, drying everything at the laundromat (might as well), food pickup in st kilda and a load of thermals at home.
Going round doing shit today has me feeling better. The sun is helping heaps. After lunch I’ll do some light work until I can’t. My bedroom feels like Sickness Central since that’s where I’ve been feeling the shittiest, so it’s getting aired out today in addition to a change of bedclothes. I hope the worst is over >:(
The best indicator for who will be president in America is, in my opinion, the betting markets. At this point they are basically the collective opinion of people who make money predicting these things based on all available evidence. Currently Trump is about a four to one favourite to win according to this indicator. Pretty amazing
Woke up really cold in the early hours. Blanket was down at the end of the bed so mystery solved. (I have doona + blanket on cold nights) Pulled it up again but tossed and turned since then. Might as well embrace it and call it wake up time now.

So I guess we’re all good now. Recruiter messaged back saying it was a great reference.
HR rang to let me know my start date and time, and what to expect on my first day.
It’s done.
Thank you everyone for all your help and support ❤️❤️❤️
Now I’m going to give the cat a shit load of treats, and enjoy some video games without feeling guilty because I should be applying for jobs.
