So the go live was a disaster. to be fair it worked for the first 10 minutes or so. Its the 11th where we started to run into problems. Turns out when the vendor says “yep no worries”. what they REALLY meant to say was “Yep? No. Worries!” We got lionel hutz’ed!
And now the blame game begins, but we cant do much when the vendor straight up lies, can we? I didnt pick the vendor or the product. And I’m MORE than happy to call the Vendor and say “Listen here fuckface, you screwed up BAD how are you going to fix it!?” but I dont think the business want me to do that for some reason.

Tell me the rollout didn’t involve Crowdstrike? 🤣
But yeah that is super frustrating.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Someone at Crowdstrike is getting fired 😂
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Anti gratitude!
I cannot feel my toes. Left bread directly under the radiator to rise overnight. It sunk. Fragrant brick for breakfast.

My house is freezing and it hampers my desire to get out of bed.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Lack of insulation in this country is disgusting. Climate change is only going to get worse, and I’m fully expecting that people will die in their homes when it’s too hot and too cold.
My buildings OC installed insulated windows in all the apartments, which has caused more condensation because they are airtight, and now it’s the occupants responsibility to make sure mold doesn’t occur 😑😑😑. But there no insulation in the roof as far as I can tell, so we lose heat through the roof. Either we have the split system on, which is old and inefficient, and lose heat. Or we leave it off and stay cold AS FUCK all day and night. The only saving grace is having oodies.
Hate the way we build in this stupid cuntry
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I woke up with a sore neck and a headache, yay.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I went to the supermarket and spent money without feeling guilty for being frivolous for buying fruit.
Yay.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 months ago
The thing I’m looking forward to the most is moving into a place that isn’t freezing cold…

is your current place far from your new job? and is the new job close to where you’d want to live?
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 months ago
New job is in the city. Current place is pretty far, near Werribee.
I have a house to myself for a bit more than what I’d pay for 2 or 3 bed apartment closer to the city and civilisation. That’s the only real draw. A house compared to an apartment.
But I need to be around people and this area is dead.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 months ago
There’s some sort of mass outage happening. Half the checkouts in Woolies Oakleigh wasn’t working and a constant announcement complex wide alerting us of a technical problem.
The Rush hour on Triple M wasn’t playing and came podcast only and have mentioned banks going down in the CBD and their own equipment wasn’t loading to air on radio.
I wonder what’s going on.
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Crowstrike (core aervice) is down. Looootta shit hitting the fan. But on the up sky news us apparently utterly off air so cheers
oztrin@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Thank God EFTPOS at the restaurant my friend and I caught up at was fine or we or they would have been in the shit.

Duenan@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Bugger. Thanks. Just had a look. Got the news on now.
I was expecting my laptop to blue screen.
Oh why couldn’t it have happened when I was at work.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Some sort of issue with microsoft PCs apparently.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Bummer. This’ll be interesting. Going to absorb some news and see what happens from it.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 months ago
as long as the power stays on I can play some LPs
hopefully telly is still on for later
Baku@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Bunnings online is pretty much down - they wouldn’t take my money and i had to press buttons a dozen times to even get it to try.
Vlines whole communication system is dead, so all vline trains are suspended
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Big W self checkouts weren’t working either.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 months ago
All of them? I’m lucky some werre working or otherwise no pizza for me :(
oztrin@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Slept in - for me - until about quarter to seven then was pinned for an hour by the felines.
What a life as the yiayia would say.StudChud@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Royal Exhibition Building bought top much of all the greay alcohol and condiments from the stalls!
At a pub for drinks, getting Korean BBQ for dinner later.
So cold, but damn I love my MIL and her partner. Never thought I’d be a part of family that’s so close and supporting 😭💜
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 months ago
😭 that’s so awesome, so happy for you
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Hooray in the middle of the crowdstrike crisis I bought w/e goon with real cash monies :) got a few dirty looks though from goonless people though.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I got really lucky. I was able to get a script done for my kid AND pay with card at the Chemist Warehouse. Otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed at all
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 months ago

Cendana@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Crowdstrike lol.
I’m just watching the carnage unfold.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I’m watching the news and the newsreader (Sandra sully?) just asked some expert “and should we panic?!” 😂🤣

Thanks @Catfish for starting the anti-gratitude thread :)
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Grateful for the weight being lifted off my chest
Incredibly grateful for the help from members of this community for the help and support they’ve given me
Warm cat sleeping in the lounge room with the heater on now that bills will be manageable
Getting a beard trim later which means I get to go to South Yarra
Friend bought me a ticket to a gig tomorrow night to celebrate
A lot to be grateful for ❤️❤️❤️
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 months ago

azaleas from the Himalayas, chilli plants from Peru, ginger from South East Asia, cactuses from Mexico, zebra plants from Africa, irises and freesias from Europe etc etc

Was up at 3am again today, but forced myself to go back to sleep until 7am.
Going out to see MIL today, so looking forward to seeing her. She’s like the mum I wish I had. She always tells the story of when she first met me and knew her son wasn’t coming back to Perth lol. Such a treasure of a human, and it’s been a year and a half since we’ve seen her.
Unsure if I want to go to the footy with them tomorrow though, West Coast vs St Kilda iirc. MIL’s partner goes for WC, she and my partner go for Freo, of course. Here I am, lil bomber supporter. I suppose, as a Victorian, I ought to go for the Saints.
The last time I went to the footy was back in the mid-late 2000s. My friend and her family were/are Carlton supporters, and it was Essendon vs Carlton. Essendon won that game, was close too iirc, and the drive home was AWKWARD! Took everything in me not to be all in their faces haha.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Go orn, go to the footy, you’ll have a great time even if you all barrack for different teams. 😊
Nath@aussie.zone 4 months ago
It might actually be a good game. They’re at 15/16 on the ladder. West Coast are in their ‘lose every game’ phase, so in theory it’ll be a Saints victory.
In general though, I’m always going for whoever is playing the Victorian team. 😂
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Holy crap. That wind outside is really bad. Thought the gust was about to take my roof off.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Windy. Had to brave the outside to trim some branches that the wind was blowing against the bedroom window. I considered if I could put up with it and do it tomorrow, but no, too annoying. In bed with electric blanket in now. Cosy.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Hooray. Footy tv feed is working!

Late night run last night to the strange and liminal spaces that is bunnings after dark. Why? Well, you see, his lordship accidentally hooked his spunding valve to the beer line on a pressurised keg feement and we realised we really, really need all the furniture in the brewery to be on wheels so we can hose that room out if need be…

Baku@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I think my bus just left without me… There was a bus parked up after the bus stop marked as “not in service”. My bus (no tracking) was supposedly 5 minutes away, so I figured it was just waiting until peak time to start running. Then the departure time comes and it pulls away, and I looked over, and it was marked with my route number. But it was too late, it was already half way down the bloody road
☹️ It’s coooooooold and I was only anticipating a 5 minute wait so I’m a little under dreased

I see the bad moon risin’
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin’
I see bad times of day
Don’t go around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowin’
I know the end is comin’ soon
I fear rivers overflowin’
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don’t go around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Well, don’t go around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise
Actually, it is the bad moon tonight - 94% waxing gibbous. Very bad omen. CCR had it right.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Haha. This is my ringtone for my daughter cos she very rarely calls me.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 months ago

Backatcha CEO. 🤟🏻 We’re all snug and (reasonably) warm here and all the appliances are dumb enough that we can cope.

Pets are funny. You treat them like wheat bags but when you move you realise you’re their wheat bag.

Love you too CEO. At least I have my pizza if the world ends today.
Let’s hope it lets me have the final AFL game as well tonight.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I hate both teams but I hope we survive to watch the Olympics.
