  I got the email to say that my certificate will be ready in a couple of weeks, and that I’ve met all the requirements (paid up, passed all modules, etc). Then I can include it with my applications instead of just saying “I passed! I swear! Pinky promise!”

  Workforce is on to me though, and wants me to find a job service provider. I’ve heard so many horror stories I don’t even know where to start. And I’m still limited by only having my learner’s license, I’m still saving up to buy a bunch of bulk lessons. That’s all a morning problem though lol.

    It might be worth cross referencing available providers with local Google reviews. Maybe stick with the bigger places as well as working with Centrelink is just another NDIS level grift. My brother in law was with a provider and I swear it took him a year to find a job so no rush if you find a decent place

    You’ve inspired me to look more closely for shells on the beach. All I’ve ever found is seaweed and rocks lol.

  My significant win this week is that my hair is looking…actually good. Simple chunky bob for the win. 💇

  source

  • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Nice hair can make a big difference to how you feel! My hair is butt length and an absolute PITA, but when it’s shiny and behaving, I love it. However, now that I’m swimming 3 x week, I’m thinking about lopping it off.

  • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The bob is underrated

  I was giving death stares to a person taking a very long phone call in the open plan area pacing around, outside of their office so as to not bother their staff but instead bothering everyone in the open plan area including myself (make it make sense). Doesn’t use the phone / scream booths right in front of him. Anyway, he finally got the message from my death stares and said “sorry” and went back into his office to finish the call. That’s my win for the day.

  I’m not telling them my instruments of DOOOOOM!

  Funnily enough the biggest sustainable doom instrument is just mulch heh.

    Don’t have a flamethrower but I’m pinching your aeroguard idea. Interestingly enough I had used mulch in the past, before I realised how big a problem it was (the oxalis that is). That didn’t work, but the birds were happy scratching it everywhere

  Just checked the train replacements on the Mernda/Hurstbridge line. Bus replacements until last service SUNDAY 20/7!!! Must be one hell of a fault at Clifton Hill. link I reckon it’ll last longer than that though.

  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    A train derailed on that like yesterday and messed up a lot.

  Picking up a 7 string guitar today. Haven’t had one before. Going to sound heavy as fuck!!!

  Also fuck work today lol

    I did not know 7 string was an option. TIL

    source

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      They can go down to 9 these days. There’s ones that have even more range sometimes too

      source
    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It allows for a much lower in tone tuning which works really well for heavier music.

      It sounds like an odd mix of percussive and melodic.

      source
  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Tune down to drop A for maximum djonk.

    I’ve also found 7 string sets weirdly light for the type of guitar they go on

    source

  Lovely coffee catch up with friend. Now I’m just dawdling along building a model

  source
• PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Got today and tomorrow off work to spend with Minipeelers. Also I have a parcel to collect 😃I think my balaclava/hood things have arrived (I love those things; I wear them in scarf/snood mode during the day to keep my neck warm and make my apron sit correctly, and pull up the hood if it’s extra cold or raining. It’s been a winter game changer for me). What to do? I know they want to go to Melbourne Central and an art supply shop. Art supply shops are expensive tho, and I usually wing it with $2 shops where I can get small canvasses and acrylic paints for a fraction of the price.

    There’s a Daiso at Highpoint.

    source

    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      There is, dang it I could’ve wandered in for a look last week. I hit the wall after a few hours there and just herded the kids out as quickly as was practicable lol.

      source
  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    DAISO for art supplies cannot be beat. There is a Daiso at the Queen Vic Centre and one downstairs next to the Telstra office at the Bourke St/Swanston mall intersection

  I really hate waking up in the dark. I think it affects my mood. Need a blue sky day.

    This winter has been extra bluesy for me.

    Early mornings definitely don’t help.

  Grrrr got my tax return back and as expected, my bloody super deduction is not available and I owe them a huge chunk now AND I’m out of pocket for the substantial amount I deposited… guess I will have to make those phone calls when it’s 8am. Not happy Jan. I foresee a lot of “no you need to contact ATO!”, “no you need to contact your super fund!” back and forth…

  source

      24 minute wait to get a call back then a 15 minute call from the ATO done, now on hold with the super fund with three callers ahead of me in the queue… blaaah… At least the ATO staff member was super helpful and escalated my issue but she did say the super fund still needs to report the contribution before anything can be processed. I have Words for the super fund about not being clear regarding how soon they send contribution info to the ATO

    'ang on, they can’t file your return without your auth, can they?

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I filed the return myself, followed all the instructions to a tee, turns out my super fund is not being very truthful or clear about how quickly they then send that info to the ATO.

      I am guessing the tax return was filed before the notice of intent to claim the super was done. You can’t claim Super as a deduction on your tax return until the Super fund has taken out the 15% tax and processed it as a concessional contribution.

  “no one cares who I was until I put on the mask” oooh yeah it’s CPAP trial time. Have a full mask to start because thats what I tried at the hospital study and it worked ok. It’s pretty cumbersome so I might use the trial period to try others 🤞🏻😴😴

  Alright I’ve finally gotten to play it.

  Holy shit it’s amazing with high gain!

  My hands feel weird moving around with the extra string. I keep making little mistakes, over or under extending my fingers.

  It’ll take some getting used to, but it’s absolutely worth it.

  source
• just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Well that’s this work week over, i haven’t counted down the hours this much in a long time.

  Looks like it will take 5-7 working days for both the ATO and super fund to get their stuff organised and both parties are all ‘this is weird it’s never happened before, this needs escalation (10 minute hold)’. oh well, this is why people get accountants even though this really should’ve been very straightforward. I’ve done what I can for now.

  On a vaguely related note, really glad that mandatory payday super is kicking in next year. Kinda BS knowing how much is just sitting around not earning interest for 3 months.

  I have to finalise my campervan/campsite bookings tomorrow and then it’s just a matter of waiting till the end of the month and going on my veeeeeeery badly needed break.

  I have found myself in a Reddit disagreement where I cannot at all follow the logic of the other parties. I expect they would say the same about what I am saying. It feels a bit like trying to debate a flat earther, there appears to be some sort of fundamental disagreement about the rules of the universe. It makes my brain hurt.
