      Heaps of folks fail their first time on bullshit technicalities. I did, and even my driving instructor said the testers reason was complete bullshit and did my next test for free with me. Have a block of chocolate ready and some kind words just in case.

      I failed my first test but had spent the test sweet talking the instructor about my medical volunteer work in Bihar, where the tester was originally from, so she passed me. My only failure was a stop sign but I was pulling into peak hour traffic jam so it’s not like I blew through it, just pulled out and waited for traffic to let me in. Traffic was great around Carlton, everyone gave me heaps of room.

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨4⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

      Some of the best drivers I know passed only after multiple rounds, and meanwhile I was a very anxious driver that took a whole year to start driving solo even after getting my Ls, but managed to barely pass the first time around. I really do think they took pity on me for my age though

      source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨4⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

      Bummer CEO, I failed my first test as well, I didn’t even make it out onto the main road before I failed but I retook it and passed a few weeks later.

      She’ll get it next time!

    Another piccy from Nepal taken from slides that no one asked for:

    Image

    I’m pretty sure that’s namche baazar or maybe tengboche and everest top left.

    First time seeing snow. Also remember buying a mars bar in namche for $5USD which hurt. Beers at the tea houses were like $0.50c at 4000m elevation lol. As a 13yr old it was great. I was blamed by the teachers on the trip for spearheading trips to tea houses. I was just following everyone else but they didn’t believe me.

    Anyone remember that guy from The Other Place who was pretty hard done by and had a bunch of kids and he and his wife found out another was on the way with, like, basically moments to go? I wonder how he’s doing.

    source
    • dumblederp@aussie.zone ⁨4⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

      I wound up hiding that account. A bunch of people chipped in to help him with something specific and he spent the money on something else, then lined up to have another kid. Fuck’s sake mate, wrap it up. Just felt they were always in a ditch and posting about all the digging they were doing to keep themselves there.

      source
      • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨4⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

        yeah i mean accidents happen but its not hard to NOT have a kid. I wouldnt thought if your backs were to the wall the last thing youd be doing is

        NSWF

        blowing in the mrs raw.

        But thats just like my opinion I guess when I had spend 30k to have a kid.

        TBF the vasectomy thing seems to have been a joke and the GFM does not mention a specific use of the funds (though it was reactivated for a second round of donations and not sure if the listing was edited). I’m not fully across the lore, I mostly skipped over it too.

        source

      Yes, his username contained “g” or “gee” right and the letter 2?

        I remember that, G 7 or something? Or was that the nickname for the child?

        Spent quite a bit of time in hospital if I remember.

        Sad to hear that the funds weren’t used for the purpose people thought it was originally.

      vaguely. I was a bit sus on a few details of that story, but I wasnt around all the time so totally possible I missed some details.

      Speaking of people from the other place, there was someone who had just gotten an ADHD diagnosis, was on here for a bit in the beginning?

  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨4⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

    One way I can tell I’m enjoying, or at least tolerating, this new job is I’ve been here since January and I haven’t felt the need to jump on Seek and just see what’s around. That’s impressive considering this is a mostly in office job, but it’s close to home, the people there are chill, and I’ve been getting some actual results in the work I’m doing.

    I was always passively looking at my old job at the more ‘interesting’ workplace, and same with the work form home job that sounded great on paper. I used Marketing Cloud in both of those roles and I feel like that was a big reason for me not liking both jobs.

    They say people don’t leave organisations, they leave managers. Maybe we should add shitty tools to the list of things people leave too.

    One of my faves, in this village one kid got so wasted he fell into the latrine on the way back from a tea house but it was so cold it was frozen solid. We were all wasted so pulling him out was an effort. His lucky day.

    ARGH. I give up, 3 hours of sleep really isn’t enough to be able to force my brain to understand log transformations and regression curves all over again. I’ve taken hours to make some key amendments to other parts and make some notes… but once it hits 4pm I’m outta here. Try again tomorrow.

    Probably also gotta accept the hit of $10 and toss out that juicy salmon fillet I bought on Saturday evening and didn’t get around to making for some stupid reason (too busy making prawn curry on Sunday… too busy being a trash goblin on Monday and Tuesday). Boo. Whatever. Zzzz.

    How many fish fingers are too many? My personal limit is 8 to 10, but I am open to suggestions from the assembled audience. 8-10 provides plenty to be enjoyed with a variety of sauces, but doesn’t weigh heavily on the stomach.

    I had a bit of a brainwave. The pet ramps and steps from Kmart aren’t great and the op shop didn’t have much destroyable that suited…

    But Big W has a $180-ish recliner. It will be low quality and small and will get scratched up from brand new, but the leg support part could be walked up like a ramp. It’s something the old baby could easily get up into without jumping and hurting herself. I would pay that much for a cat tree if she could comfortably use it.

    We’ll see. I’ll decide if there’s room and maybe sell the unwanted dishwasher and tv. Maybe I could put something on the sides to absorb the claws wrath.
