Well done!
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
That’s great news! I hope you nail it
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
this is wonderful 😊
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Had another recruiter reach out for an application I put in yesterday!
Just going to keep up the pace and hopefully something will click in place.
2nd interview at 1pm. Fingers crossed 🤞
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s great things are going so quickly for you. Lets hope the end of the month works in your favour
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Interview this morning, the seek post definitely undersold the role. One guy liked me, one didn’t. Let’s see what happens.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Good luck!

Yo Yarrabyte call ya parents they’re worried.

Maybe we should send him $97-60 for an Uber home - via text message from a site in com.ru
Got one of these a while back purporting to be from my son to pay for taxi home. Given that he was in San Francisco at the time I should have leapt at the opportunity - cheapest fare home from there I’ve ever heard of.

Mickey is getting his annual vaccination tomorrow, before he can stay at the cattery when I’m in Perth.
Ugh. Every time I travel to Perth, I always say I don’t want to stay for a long time because I hate leaving Mickey and I’m a homebody. So why did I agree to three, almost four, weeks 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
As a recent survivor of a Perth family pilgrimage, you will be tired but it won’t be as bad as you think - heck you’ll probably even have fun! Mickey will have enough time to make friends and get comfortable, he’ll he fine.

Last night, I ate a chilli in an attempt to unblock my nose. Today, I am reaping the consequences. Just an upset stomach. Nose still very much blocked. Yay!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Have you tried nasal sprays?
Potentially better than a chili
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yep, no bueno at the moment.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
My butt is being kicked by whatever is going on with my mental health. The fact that from next week onwards, 25+ sets of eyes will be evaluating my performance at least twice a day, plus the resources I manage to create, is scaring the shit out of me. I’m really worried about not having time to do stuff and not performing. I dislike that I get overwhelmed so easily.
But I am reminding myself that I can ask for ideas.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Also remind yourself they want you to succeed. 😊
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
2nd interview went ok. I was pretty nervous tbh so if it doesn’t move ahead that’s ok. But the guy did tell me what the next steps would be.
Fingers crossed but I’m still applying to other jobs of course.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Sending you heaps of good luck!!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thank you :)
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
so much good luck being sent your way 🌬️🤞
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Much appreciated :(
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Well that was an interesting drive. Had to navigate a set of failed traffic lights, two separate wheelie bins that had blown onto the road, and a small fallen branch. It’s windy out there, take care.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
City looks so grey right now.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thanks for doing the thread Seagoon.

Eagle@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
She is so neat and tidy.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I totally misjudged my walk timing and got myself and Mr Woof very soggy.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
it’s certainly wild out there, the gate swung so hard in the wind it smashed a big terracotta pot near it

I’m switching back to my old Huawei from my Pixel because I don’t want to buy a new phone just yet. The Huawei feels so much nicer and it still works fine, I only got a new phone because the usb port was getting temperamental but I’ve cleaned it and it’s working again now.
The Huawei actually connects to the Guest Wifi at work so that’s a big bonus already. Using my phone here was a headache because it’s a mobile blackspot and my phone would just stop pulling data on the wifi.
Everyone stopped selling Huawei because they knew they’d be too powerful if they were allowed to continue in the west. At this point I’d gladly degooglefy my life for another one.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
What didn’t you like about the pixel?
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It doesn’t work with the wifi network at work and some of the ones at home. USB port is going to shit, they chose to not connect video out to the USB port, battery hasn’t been great, updates make it worse, slow on some applications (like it gets so hot and slow on balatro but this phone has been fine), and I need to get a new phone now because of the massive camera bump. It must have been my keys that smashed the glass when I fell off my bike

I hear the screen size is tiny, and can only be one colour at a time

The Kiffness is doing a gig at Northcote Theatre on Thursday 18th Sept. Have just bought tickets. Looks like very fun night.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thanks for the heads up!

“So, what I’ve gotten out of this is that we’re selling an unknown product to unknown customers for unknown pricing and we have no idea when or how it’s arriving?”
“Well, yes… but the vests have been ordered for the sales team.”
This place, I tells ya.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Hey now. Let’s not dismiss the power of a snazzy best!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
But a vest on it’s own is never going to do anything. It needs to be paired with the power of a custom pen and a printed stress ball.

But of course.

hey there

Insomniacs arise lol
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I think I got about two hours sleep last night 😔 will see how I go at work but may end up finishing early

Awful tragedy in Porpunkah. How do people become so far gone into nutter idiotic beliefs. Hope they catch him soon. Must be frightening to be in Porpunkah tonight.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I reckon the guy will go bush, and won’t be found for weeks. And it’s a toss up if he will be even more mentally disturbed when he is found or will have calmed down a bit. Searching for him on foot or horseback with or without dogs is bloody dangerous if he’s armed and apparently he is. And the local people/cops know this and will be keeping a very beady eye on isolated sheds and eatable livestock in distant paddocks. Never underestimate the bushcraft of nutters like this one cos they are sometimes quite impressively skilled in survival stuff. If it was me, I’d consider calling in a helicopter/drone and using thermal imaging to find him. Then the hard part would become actually catching him without getting shot.

When is that Hunted show coming back?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’ll finish the painting today then it’s on to sewing the curtains and clothes repairs 😊
briongloid@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Manhunt still underway near Bright.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Debating on going into office tomorrow and having Thursday and Friday WFH.
Alternatively, WFH tomorrow and Friday, come in Thursday.
I’ll decide tomorrow morning when the alarm goes off I guess.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Office tomorrow, Thursday and Friday WFH. Nod nod!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
yay, the painting of the bedroom suite is done. Five pieces of furniture , scrubbed clean, sanded , repaired, then four coats of paint. The chair has been reupholstered, the drawer handles repainted a silver gold colour and all the drawers painted inside and lined with contact.

Today I am listening to Jared Diamond, Upheaval: Turning Points for Nations in Crisis
It is interesting so far. 👍The author uses 7 countries as examples on how individuals, societies and countries cope in extreme situations.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I love his book Collapse - How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Really really thought provoking. Wasn’t so impressed with Upheaval, but still interesting.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I will read that one next time. 👍
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Mickey’s vaccination went well, uneventful. I got some dental treats for him as well, as his teeth are a bit yellow.
He’s also 5.95kg, and NOT overweight or fat. The vet looked at him and was like “he’s just massive for a DSH” 😂
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Beep beep 🚗. SHE’S NOW A PROBATIONARY DRIVER!!!👍
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Watch out World! There’s a P plater on the prowl! Seriously, congrats to YL, its a big step. And I’m sure you’ve done your bit in helping her to adult behind the wheel.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’d like to take the credit but it was all her dad’s doing.
I sat in the pub today and happy cried twice in the Vic roads office. That’s my contribution.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Congraaaaaaaats!!!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
HOOOORAYYYYYY!!! Congrats to YL!!!
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Congrats you’re lucky. Mine has no interest in driving which isn’t that bad really. Just a bit surprising.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Youngies need to get out and explore while giving us oldies room to breathe.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Congrats to YL! Has she done the obligatory maccas drive through yet?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Nah not yet. Maybe later with a friend. It’s pissing down here.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
yay 🥛☕🫖🍵💐
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Congratulations to her!
