      I believe doing time somewhere in retail or hospitality should be a prerequisite to adulthood. People who are or have been retail workers make far more reasonable customers. Society would do better if customers knew and understood what it was like to deal with customers.

    Interview 1 went well!!! Really well.

    Person interviewing said I’ll most likely be coming in to meet the CFO!

    Next one at 1:30pm. Let’s see how it all plays out.

      oh awesome! another MSP?

      source
      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Thankfully no lol

        Internal IT with an org that has an existing relationship with an MSP.

        Sounds pretty decent from the interview so far. Downside is office attendance for the first few months.

        Salary makes it worthwhile.

    The calico bosses the other cats around. She has to eat from the bowl they’re eating from even if she has her own lol

    So I ended up getting an offer from a multinational. I’m not getting too excited in case the police check fucks me up.

    We’ll wait and see what happens. In the least I have leverage with my current employer.

    The surgeon said my teeth were growing sideways, so I guess I did need them out after all.

    I told people about a cannoli place near work and now it seems like the office has gone cannoli crazy

        Yummy Cannoli in Epping. Just above the shopping centre in the industrial area if you’re ever up that way

    • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Wow.

      Some of the best cannoli I’ve had were in Reservoir (not sure what the place was called) and Floriana Cakes in Oakleigh ish. Also Brunetti of course. I’m yet to try any down west, but have heard there are good ones around Footscray.

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I’ve been to EAT CANNOLI on Wood Road, but that could be considered Preston. The cannoli place in the South Melbourne Markets has their factory in Heidelberg West and they also do a nice pork roll there

        source
      • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Can confirm Reservoir used to be a hub for cannoli - opposite the new council library there’s still a couple of places … Mind you, it’s been a while since I went up there but the cake shops and the good butcher were legit.

        Hopefully Sunday will be in solar-powered, air-conditioned comfort tomorrow at home, rather than solar-powered air-conditioned comfort of the local Trauma ward.

    Walking Miniest to school and she noticed a Tesla and said “there’s a carzi” (rhymes with nazi). I usually call them swasticars. I asked her if she thought of that one herself, and she said she was trying to think of the word I always said but couldn’t think of it so she said that one instead 😂🤣

    Partner tells me there’s a pair of twenty-something (potentially teenage) boys knocking on people’s doors and loudly talking in the Northcote area.

    If they are casing houses (ours is a block of flats and we almost never get doorknockers), and she didn’t open the door for them, do we have anything to worry about?

    source
    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      They don’t knock on doors where I am, they do either of 2 things:

      1. Steal people’s hello fresh or similar food box deliveries, or other porch piracy, usually within 30 minutes of delivery and in broad daylight, and

      2. Sneak/drive around quietly during the night trying to find unlocked vehicle doors, ransacking and stealing whatever they can carry.

      source
    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Are they dressed in white shirt and black pants? Could be mormons. As far as I know, teenagers don’t ‘case’ houses. They just break in with machetes so they can take the car keys to steal cars. No one wants bcr players anymore and they don’t need to look inside to see if you have one. So yeah, I’d say nothing to worry about.
