Had a chat to some friends, got some recruiters details and have made a plan for how to proceed.
I’m safe for around 6 months and Im pretty sure I’ll be working well before then.
I’ll be honest. I don’t have a choice but to succeed. There is no safety net except some money. There is no home that I can live in rent free and bill free while I get back on my feet.
Which is why I can never really give up.
I guess it works out in a way.
That really sucks what’s happened.
I know this doesn’t help but being told you’ve been the best manager for that person above I hope takes the edge slightly off the shitty situation.
I can’t think of 1 manager I would’ve sent that to lol. So that says a lot and the next place will be lucky to have you.
That’s really kind of you man, and it does take the sting out.
I’ve got a plan, the steps figured out and a path ahead.
I’ll get there in the end, even if it sucks ass for a while. As long as Fluffball and I have a place to live and bills paid (and the strays fed) then it’ll be OK :)
I agree.
I am scared all the time.
It didn’t used to be like this.
The governments have been failing us for a very long time. The current state of things is scary
I’m so fucking sorry. I really hope you’re into another job quickly.
No idea if it helps but I saw this as a safeguard if worst comes to worst (and I hope it doesn’t) unison.org.au/about-us/…/make-room-melbourne
Just had my probation terminated….
Because we were under resourced and they couldn’t accept it.
Fuck. I’m fucked.
Shit, dude. Am glad you’ve got that interview lined up!! Putting loads of good vibes towards that!
Thank you :) I’m looking forward to it.
Shit man, I’m sorry to hear that. Let me know if you need any help
Appreciate it man :)
What?! That’s terrible, hopefully you find a new role quickly.
Cheers :)
Shit.
Good luck with the interview 🤞
Much appreciated :)
Oh no. Mate I am so sorry.
It was a cost saving measure. They saved my salary and a new hire as well.
Sorry to hear that mate, hopefully it’ll be a blessing in disguise. You deserve better 💪🏼
That’s really kind of you :) I don’t have a choice but to succeed due to no safety net so I guess that it makes it easier in a way?
sending all the good luck for the next jobs
Damn dude. Hope you nail the interview.
So sorry. Hope something new and better comes along quickly.
Thank you :) I’ll be pushing hard the next few weeks.
Oh that sucks, I’m so sorry. Hope the next interview goes well
Thank you. I’m studying for it tomorrow.
Fuck. I’m sorry. Fingers crossed for the interview.
😭😭
Hope you find something soon. Did they give you any notice?
No they waited till lunchtime then told me.
My lower back is still no bueno. Impossible to sit in my office chair and not get pain, did as much as I could but I’m in bed now. Physio helped a bit but it’s not a miracle cure. I waddled around the block for a bit to keep my back moving, waddling is all I can muster right now. I got a few puzzled looks from my slow strange movement haha. Pleeease be better by tomorrow.
Oh no. Backs are slow to heal. If the physio gave you exercises, they will help but it might take a few weeks to months. If you need to get through the day, Voltaren may help, but it’s a mask not a cure.
gentle hugs
good night
Leftover birthday cheesecake for lunch at work. Hits the spot.
Had an interesting and awesome time celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday last week.
His watch tells him he has the fitness of a 20 year old and I can confirm that is true. Unfortunately the government doesn’t know that and has already sent a letter to say they’ll be sending out a poo kit.
Colon and bowel health is very important.
Especially in us, older gents.
It sure is!
Thought I’d cook some fritters while the other two went driving. They took too long, fritters were delicious and I’m full now.
It’ll be a learning experience.
Win, win
I cooked the fritters. They’re eating them cold now.
My god I cannot stop yawning
😠
thank you
You need a trigger warning on that sort of statement. Now I am too and I have to get through a full night shift!
I’ve scrolled down this thread several times, and each time I read your comment I yawn. I yawned again while typing this reply, lol
It’s so much nicer not having an account or the app for the other place anymore. Instead of doomscrolling, I’ve been doing the crosswords on the Guardian app instead.
A much more pleasant waking up experience
I’m finding everywhere I hang out can have issues for me if I stay there too long exclusively… I have to have various places and spread myself out/rotate through them.
I wish I was more capable of doing healthier stuff than relying on the internet
I still check out a few choice subs and comment. Much less than previously though.
Crosswords and other puzzles are great substitutes :)
My sister said that last night, I yelled out, “Who are you?” a few times in my sleep. I wonder if it had to do with something that happened or if it was just random.
My day off got ruined by not one but two neighbours doing LOUD renovations all day :( I’ve been out of the house for most of it because it’s hard to deal with but not my idea of relaxing.
Ugh. I’m overdue for doing a census. Anyone else get this
i bought a white chocolate pistachio rocky road as a special treat
y’know, one of those recipes that sounds better than it really is
1/2 rock out of 5
White choc always tastes slightly rancid to me. I find that very offputting.
Watching YouTube via Brave browser because apparently it doesn’t count views during the blackout, and it has the side effect of blocking ads. Fuck YouTube.
I’ve been exploring Tubi and other legal alternatives but it seems it has the market monopolised (which is why the people in charge feel confident to pull this shit.).
firefox is good too
I installed Adblock on Firefox but occasionally YouTube still detects it. I use Brave on phone
Day off because I’ve been sick. No doctor’s appointment until 8:20 so I don’t have to go off in the middle of the day to get a stick note.
It’s nice to have a day off that’s just me. Usually when I’m sick the kids are sick too so I need to still be a parent when I feel like ass.
Sounds like a good rest day :)
this is the most beautiful thing I’ve read for a long time
“We don’t go to heaven when we die, we go to heaven when we’re born.” Jim Lovell ( of Apollo 13 fame )
Watched Shrek for probably the first time in 15+ years last night, so many excellent moments in that film. And it struck me that at no point did it feel like the film was trying to create or force a “viral” moment.
Started Shrek 2, will probably finish that tonight.
I’ve been spending so much time in bed because it relieves pain/takes the pressure off a chronic injury but I’m going batty.
Went for a short walk because the coast looked clear but now feeling nauseous.
I’ve had pistachio cream. Its fine. Mixed it with some chocolate and it was also fine.
Definitely not worth the hype prices.
Miniest went through a phase with these, it was sweet biscuits (like Marie) with pistachio spread and melted chocolate drizzled on and on between to stick it all together. Looked like an accident but tasted lovely.
I haven’t but for that price I’d want it to be fed to me.
Sadly I’m back to 2 hour blocks of sleep.
Fuck it. Gym everyday it is then.
Good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘😘😘

It’s that hour again
Of distant song birds twittering
Magpies warbling
And occasional low rumble of a car
