      About 3km difference. All the favourite things are still in range, just accessed a bit differently. What postcodes do to price tags is outrageous.

  Mickey is so tolerant. He was incessantly scratching one of his ears, as if something was in there. So I told him “I’m going to grab my phone for the torch, and I’ll have a look puss”.

  He trotted to the tiles in the kitchen and flopped on his side so his problem ear was facing up. I was able to have a look, and noticed one of his body hairs was stuck in there. He let me gently tweeze it out and he’s been so happy since.

  He is so fucking smart.

    Beware of cats like that. First comes the flopping closely followed by world domination.

  Looks like Reservoir is affordable, easy to get to Brunswick and Coburg and to work.

  Will go have a look the next couple of days at a few places. Really wanted Brunswick but if I don’t get a pay rise that ain’t happening.

    Beware of Fawkner & Dallas. They look close but the agents are likely putting lipstick on the pig’s butt hole.

    Rezza’s just up the road from Thornbury/Northcote, with all the open mic venues and music. It’s a lot nicer than it used to be. May I recommend the butcher on the main drag? Has lovely grass fed beef, properly aged. Some good op shops too - the St Georges Anglican Church one is a hidden gem. Small but very choice stock. I did look into houses in Rezza when I moved out of EBrunswick. The lake side is lovely.

  • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Reservoir is 10km from the city and close to inner north suburbs with the cool music venues! Inner-ish west could be another place to look? Or would you even consider somewhere north west or north east? I will have to have a think about suburbs

  If you live on floor 4 of an apartment building in the city and you’re currently cooking up something lemony/spicy/smoky/meaty, please invite me over for dinner. The smell entering the elevator when the doors opened on your floor was ambrosial.

  Not sure exactly what I’m doing today but I know it involves a huge batch of mushroom sauce and some pretty big lasagnas. So 🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙 hey there’s no emoji for lasagna! Why haven’t I realised this before?

  Have spoken to more people today. They’re bailing. The director has set an all hands meeting for Tuesday, where she will no doubt tell everyone she’s leaving.

  Morale is non existent at the moment. Regardless of negotiations, im here till I move house. Then I’m out.

  Unless the interview i have Monday comes through. Then it’s worth living in the middle of nowhere for another 6 months.

  Just paid $200 so I can take a four hour test to say I have the literacy and numeracy skills to be a teacher. They threw in an “online convenience fee” too. 🙂🥲

  I tried tofu for the first time today. Honestly, I’m a pretty big fan. I didn’t try it in anything fancy, just a small fried rice. I wasn’t sure I was like it, but tbh I don’t think I would’ve noticed anything wrong if they told me it was a chicken fried rice

  I got bad family news in early November. Another death. It was somebody else that I never got to meet, but was directly and quite closely related to me

  I’ve been thinking about it for a few months, and have even brought it up with my psych, but nothing’s really helped. It’s weird because I know that I’m meant to feel something, and indeed do feel something, but it’s unidentifiable and not overwhelming emotion

  Apparently 2 days before he died, he tried to get in contact with me through child protection. Because of bureaucracy, I didn’t find out about it until over 2 weeks later. That made it worse. Nobody knows what the message was, but trying to contact me was one of the last things he ever did :/

  this headache is just about approaching “bail from work” levels, but I have a psych appointment after work so I cant go home to come back in. And there is a not 0 change the headache is due to stress so its pretty necessary.

  I’m putting this under a NSFW, as it may be triggering for some of us. Concerns a situation that I’ve become aware of at work. I’m not sure I have all the details either. But there’s a moral dilemma here that I would welcome some feedback on.

  messy divorce case

  A really messy divorce case. Husband accused by wife of child abuse, which he denies. Kids (2 aged 6 & 9) have been examined by psychs and doctors and don’t show signs of abuse. Barring a claim by the elder child that Dad won’t let him have more than one fizzy drink per day. Both kids are scared shitless of their mum, who is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic who refuses to take medication. When in her custody, kids have twice taken themselves down to the Salvos begging for shelter overnight. Kids now in husband’s custody exclusively, and doing well in school.
  Wife has sprayed accusations of child abuse across several forms of social media targeting : 1) husband, 2) her dentist, 3) kids’ doctor, 4) her doctor, 5) two teachers at the kids’ school, 6) four of her neighbours. All ‘targets’ have been investigated by the police specialist unit, and all except one have been cleared of any such crimes.
  However, the dentist, doctors, and the teachers have all been sacked from their place of employment, and the dentist’s wife has been forcefully requested to resign from her tennis club and other social groups. And none were re-instated when the accusations turned out not to have any evidence supporting them.
  One neighbour is still under investigation, but the others have been cleared. I don’t know if there’s been any further effects on them.
  Given that several of the accused persons have suffered very real financial and social harm from accusations that may never be truly forgotten so long as the web exists. And they will be under suspicion for the rest of their lives and probably their families as well. Even though they’ve been cleared of wrongdoing.
  Question for the DT hive mind : should the wife (who is clearly a very damaged person) be sued for libel/damages for her accusations? Has she committed a crime here? Should she get some sort of penalty for making false accusations? Or should she get off scot free because she’s mentally ill and presumably not in full control of her actions? Yes I’ve muddied up some of the details for privacy reasons, but the basic dynamics are as accurate as I can make them.
