  Well the meeting wasn’t too bad. Still got blamed for the inadequacy of the project team, but the heat was lower than expected thankfully ❤️

    That project team that you didnt even set up or have any control over? and thats been long established since before you joined? Classic management.

    source

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Bingo.

  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It sounds like the client is blaming you because you’re the main person they interact with. You have no control on the actual work that gets done on their account.

      All I can do is hassle the project manager or project engineers to get updates.

      Today I was told in the future if I need to escalate, go straight to the general manager which is cool at least

      Watching her scale the security door with claws out, hanging for a bit, then doing the mad jump to the top of the door is nuts.

      And all in 30 seconds from a standing start lol

  Bro rocked up last night finally to ‘see’ mum.

  Just sat there and spoke about himself for 30mins.

  Cunt. At least the old man is seeing him for who he really is now.

  Pretty obvious won’t be getting much help from bro.

  Anyway so I’ve left the kitchen with a bit of a mess and I need to see what happens (I usually clean up). Pretty much testing severity / independence. I’m hoping I’ll get a serve because that means she can see it, she can do it, how well she does it and mood which will be a good indication for steps that follow (for now). Low risk easy test.

    Man it sounds like you’re having a fucking rough time right now.

    Try to find a little time for yourself just to rest if you can.

    I hope everything works out OK with your mum ❤️

  Had one hell of a psych session… big emotions. Good session but the kind that you need to sit down and process for 30 minutes afterwards. I had thought I might pack my shoes and some other stuff tonight but it isn’t happening. It’s been a big week and more to come with the real move coming up.

  I am not being lazy or weak, I am pacing myself 👍

    Go you for attending the psych session! Good attitude, put your feet up and relax a bit. You deserve it!!!

    I was just thinking to myself today that no one starts or does everything at the same time. And starts are the hardest as learning curves are real and take a lot of work. Life naturally just spaces itself out with different demands happening at different times. Systems are set up at different times, skills learnt at different times.

    Life is naturally paced. That’s how people can do so much .

    It’s how I did it as a teen even. Got some education. Got a job. Moved out. Did more education. One big thing at a time.

  Surprise! 1st strawberry from the patch this season. Was watering and thought… hmmmm… something red is hiding there. 🍓

  Interesting thing just happened. I was in the middle of writing a reply, but the time stamp said that I had responded 5 minutes ago. Yes, it was the time stamp for that reply. I checked.
  This means that the DT is actually a portal that allows time travel into the future. Albeit not very much future. Not enough for stock market speculation, dammit. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

    No, just 2 DMs from a user I don’t recognise, one responding to something I wrote ages ago and another saying hello. Post history has a lot of removed posts and comments.

    source

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The user starts with a D doesn’t it? Has been sending a bunch of us messages as well.

      I advise you block them.

      I think the" hello" person was spam to everyone. From memory the removed comment was something about finance and most likely a scam. They’ve been blocked from the Melboune sub.

  Went to pick up some extra food for a few days and came across some bargains

  3kg bag of oranges for 5 dollars and a bag with 4 bunches of chinese broccoli or something for 2 bucks.

  Felt like I made off like a bandit and has left me fairly happy with myself.

  Also this afternoon was way smoother with almost no hassles compared to yesterday’s drama.

    Orange juice freezes spectacularly jsyk. I like to make ice cubes

    source

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I’ll probably just end up eating them.

      They’re fairly big oranges and I lack a juicer too.

  Good start to the day, Marketplace buyer showed up & was very friendly. I have a couple more that will hopefully show up today too - I’ll have to convert all my cash to proper digital money soon! 💰 💰 💰

  I’m really hoping some more cupboards sell soon, I’d like to be able to use my carport again. If any are remaining after this weekend I think I’ll put them up free on the Buy Nothing group.

    Glad to hear you got rid of that couch. I’m reading Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency and I was worried your couch would get stuck in some physically impossible fashion and you’d have to saw it into pieces

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think it is @just_kitten 's couch you are thinking of, which is still pending pickup tonight. So the impossibly stuck couch is still a possibility. Hopefully if that does happen the horse in the bathroom situation will not follow.

  is there a stomach bug going around? Kid got sent home with the shits yesterday but was in great spirits and wasnt on a hold so went back today and seems fine. Meanwhile I’ve got this feeling at the top of my stomach a bit like i wanna spew, but not quite? Had it for 3 days now, and it just comes and goes. not actual digestive changes however, its a bit weird.

  • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yeah man it’s been about 3 days now and I’m utterly fucked. Running to the bathroom every 20 or so mins.

  Friend I met up with today said she doesn’t drive because her ex crashed into a tree after she broke up with him and thought it was her fault. But she has spoken to me about driving on the ring road with her dad and driving to her sport practice. It’s just that she needs a ride whenever I go out with her. Another friend wants me to pick up her too good to go box which is a 10 minute drive away. I feel iffy about saying yes because she constantly asks me to check if things are in stock for her at my work and asked me to help jump-start her car because she had no one else. I don’t mind doing a nice thing for a friend, but I just feel like these people are using me.

  Ugh, no luck with confirming the couch move so far (and tbqh I’m really tied for time tonight). I’m starting to think it won’t happen and I’ll have to move it to my friend’s place.

  Meanwhile I have at least confirmed the movers for Monday morning, that’s a big tick. Think I’m just going to take the day off so I can clean up after and shit

  Clients asking me if I can do their work for cheaper. No! I give you a fair price right up, this isn’t a negotiation. Yet I feel the need to say, yes of course I can do it cheaper. Then I come across as a pushover and the next time I do work for them, they’ll ask for cheaper again.
