    Forgot to post last night but I arrived in Mollymook yesterday afternoon. I’m here until tomorrow then I start heading home đŸ–ïž

    Good news! Just got a phone call from work, the client found the missing $$$ (and from the sound of it it was $$$) so that’s a relief to say the least. Change in the attitude of the carer lead was
 a thing. But a cordial conversation was had and she’s taken me off that client, so all well there.
    I’d put in an application to join a union this morning and I’ll keep on with it, as knowing aged care odds are that Something Will Happen.
    But now I can do dinner tonight and really enjoy it, not just try and use it as a distraction!

      Working in the community can be great, it can also be shit. Glad the dollars were found, but it does make you feel like garbage to have your professional integrity questioned. Union protection is a good idea.

      • oztrin@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        Exactly to all. I forget who said “I’m utterly and abjectly pissed off” but it summed up my state of mind!

    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      Just join your union anyway, it’s always a good thing and they need the support too, to advocate for you. Forget cmfuckup, and focus on your own union and the good things they can do for you. :)

      I’m so glad this has worked out, and that they know you had nothing to do with it! Enjoy your day and all the beautiful things in your life, you deserve the relief and peace!

        I did! I did want to join the UWU for a number of reasons but the guy I spoke to said they wouldn’t take me on with a pre existing situation so I went for the HWU
 we’ll see how it works out.
        Thank you - contemplating a nice beach walk and a cakey thing, and tonight is dumplings! 😁

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      Fantastic news.

      How does $$$ go missing anyway and I’m guessing they tried to blame you for it going missing?

      I hope they issue an apology to you as it sounded like you weren’t going through a nice time if you’re also considering joining a union for protection.

      I think you should treat yourself to something delicious tonight.

        • Old person hides cash away
        • they forget where they left it and search other places
        • they decide it was the carer who stole it
        • they find it later and call back to say it was found

        Old people do be forgetting things lol

        Exactly what StudSpud said, though in this case it was a little older and with health issues. And it did look like I was at least under suspicion.
        Anyway apology has been extended and an Uber eats voucher has been sent, so that’s something.
        I was going out for dumplings tonight, so now I can go and enjoy myself rather than try and distract myself!

    I had an accident trimming my beard last night, the length attachment fell off while using and took a huge chunk of it out. Didn’t have any other option but to trim it all off. I kept the mo and some of the “soul patch” (had to look up what that’s called, strange name). I haven’t been cleanly trimmed like this for years, it’s an adjustment. Feeling wind on my cheeks this morning was weird and kinda nice. Maybe this was divine intervention to change it up.

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      My husband’s been growing beards lately and he can’t get the trimming right near the top lip. Doesn’t matter how many you tube videos he’s watched he somehow makes it look weird so he shaves it all off and the growing process starts again.

      I don’t care if he has a beard or not. I just don’t want to see food dangling off the mo.

      source
      • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        I used to trim my own and it looked pretty bad each time. Started going to the local barbers, and they’re fantastic. I go every 6-8 weeks, and in between trim it myself a bit.

        They’re worth it.

    I had the chance to be taken back to the op shop because there was a Led Zeppelin shirt I didn’t grab. You snooze you lose, probably snapped up 30 seconds after I left by a reseller.

    But I did get some Buffy dvds and some art books. I went a little ham because things are getting scrubbed from the internet and I’m rediscovering the importance of physical media.

        This has been slowly happening for a long time without fanfare. A lot of stuff you used to be able to watch on YouTube is getting more aggressive copystrikes, probably to try and push us onto cable and streaming services.

        Also the Internet Archive recently lost a copyright lawsuit that means access to 50, 000 books (and movies?) was lost.

        Corporations are getting more aggressive about what gatekeeping what you can access for free and taking stuff down, so a lot of people are advocating for physical backups or copies of anything important to you.

        source
      • Alamutjones@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        It happens periodically. Streaming services don’t hold on to things forever, and even sites like the Internet Archive (which shares free access to books) periodically has to negotiate a changing landscape of access to materials.

        We do not own things we get off Netflix, or even off Steam and such. Access can be revoked

    Ugh, I really wanted to take PT and the Skybus to the airport and save $30 on an uber but
 in this weather, I don’t trust PT to get me to the city on time, and fuck schlepping it in the wet. I got paid today, I’m taking the uber. AND treating myself to a schnacko at the airport if I get peckish. I can take the Skybus on the way back.

    Off we go! No panic and anxiety. There are some things I appreciate having a job that pays money for

      Weather wasn’t so great and you should get there early. I was hearing on the radio all morning that there are some sort of works going on and to get there 30 mins earlier than usual.

        Yep, got here about 50 minutes before boarding, plenty of time for a burrito and unwinding before I board. I’m glad I wasn’t dying of anxiety trying to will the Skybus to go faster. I actually missed my flight back to Qld because of Skybus delays way back in 2011 or so and have never trusted it since

    Hey Centrelink, if my appointment is booked for 2:30pm, that means it’s at 2:30pm and you shouldn’t call twice at 9:23 and 9:36 and get pissy that I’m not available. “Be sure to be ready at the time it’s scheduled for.” THAT TIME ISN’T FOR FIVE HOURS GO AWAY.
