I walked into an RSEA and they’re selling Helly Hanson work pants 5 for $150. That’s a week’s worth of pants for $30 each, that’s $15 per pant.

that’s $3.75 per work hour on an average 40 day week!

Having a good mate ghost me means I have to scrounge for references, BUT I got an email from the company asking for them so that’s a great sign!
Here’s hoping the references I gave glaze me up 😂

We have a reference source here, don’t we?

Soothing existential angst with a Gaytime
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Don’t mistakenly buy a packet of gaytime bites from the grocery clearance store. I ate the whole packet on the car ride home.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Get to work from home tomorrow fuck yes!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I wish I was eating lasagne and Gaytimes. This would fix me
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 day ago
If it’s any consolation I can’t have those things either (well O can manage lasagna with GF pasta but it’s been a loong time since I had a good ole gaytime…)

Had the kind of dreams that elicited the need to just run away and take care of myself today, but here I am at work 😅
Dear Melbourne, I know we had some sunshine over the weekend, but can I please have some more?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I hope your day turns around and something really really good happens ❤️
I’d like to add to your plea. More sunshine, less allergies please Melbourne. My solar energy is depleting fast.
Ps. This is shit spring cleaning weather btw.

I decided to make some little lasagnes for the freezer. I ended up with three single and two double serves of lasagne, 3 serves of bolognese, a half serve of mostly-tomato bolognese for a future parmiagiana, and two serves of cheese sauce. Plus lots of mess.
The freezer is getting very full. I need to focus less on stocking up and more on eating.

Once everyone six months or so I get a craving for McDonald’s. Today was one of those days. I stopped by on the way home from work and got myself a quarter pounder with bacon, lettuce, tomato and McChicken sauce (just the burger). Not bad at all. Would try again – in six months or so.

It’s a blessing and a curse that they don’t offer any decent vegetarian options. I’d love a plant-mac.

Went to SILs citizenship ceremony last night at robert blackwood. First time I’ve seen one. Have to say the sound in there was pretty good. God it dragged on though. 350 people. Went on for almost 3 hrs. Naturally lotta bored kids w/ low blood sugar getting shitty.
I think the weirdest part was a 5 min video spruiking the city of monash. How many kms of cycle paths, how many parks, hospitals etc. etc. Not sure what that was all about.
No aboriginal flag, just aussie which was odd considering they had a Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung? dude speak for 10 mins and play the didge. They should probably change that.

My daughter’s graduation is coming up. Fuck knows how many hours of sitting and clapping there’ll be. The best part will be when I get to block school phone numbers, emails and delete Xuno.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Never heard of xuno til now.
If that was around when I went through I would’ve been in a little bit of trouble.

oh pet circle about to go on the shitlist.
They have a delivery guy who decides he’s not gonna deliver to an address that’s been delivered to for three years because he does not like stairs. They decide the problem must be the address, and offer increasingly milquetoast mewls of “we’re sorrryyyy” and “I’ll make a note” like they’re somehow helpless victims of a courier service they’ve explicitly chosen to utilise.
hitches old fart belt back in my day we’d tell the courier to get their shit together or lose our fucking contract.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
rarely occurs to some of the guys that the reason for home delivery might be because the person can’t actually get the item from a store because disabled 😒

Manager threatened to remove me from the roster for the entire Xmas period because of a mistake I made that I wouldn’t really ever make. I had stuffed up an order without knowing. We print things out and make them into other things. It says on the label what we are supposed to make. I apparently printed the things out but didn’t make them into other things. I remember seeing the order but my memory is hazy on what actually happened but according to camera footage, it was me who stuffed it up. I’m just really annoyed at myself, because even when I was sleep deprived starting work at 6:30, I always knew not to make mistakes like that. I really want to see the camera footage.
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Are you not allowed to make any mistakes ever? Sounds like a toxic manager.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Yep. This manager had a secondment for a few months and I was getting more shifts than I do now, even though the company was making less money.
I’ve noticed that the manager’s friend who works with us often gets her shifts extended and is pretty much always there. She is 19 though not doing anything else with her life and is cheaper than us adults.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 day ago
That’s just shitty management to jump straight to a threat like that if you don’t make mistakes like that on the regular. A bit of humility goes a long way.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Everything is so quiet at my place today. They are doing some sort of drainage works behind me, which means the main road has been blocked off and will be for about a month. All of the normal traffic in and out of the estate is not there, which is more noticeable than I expected.

Here’s something else I don’t understand people doing: using the email address provided by their ISP or an Icloud email address.
I see a lot of email addresses through work and it’s like, “you’re really wedded to bigpond or active8me, huh?” Or it’s like, you didn’t have an email address before getting your iPhone? Apple created you an email address and you decided to go with that now?
Although realistically these are probably just old people that are getting their emails routed through outlook or the default mail app on their phone and aren’t changing internet providers anytime soon.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I reckon it’s 100% the last one.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Boomers probably signed up with an ISP in the 90’s and are like, “this is my email now”. I still don’t understand using icloud for anything important though. You must be really confident you’re only ever going to use iPhones going forward
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
My Mum’s still got a Bigpond address. We’ve been trying to get her off it, which has hopefully been successful as she’s now moved and doesn’t have Telstra internet anymore. Not that Telstra want to maintain the Bigpond addresses either - it’s a legacy system they are still operating only because of old people who refuse to leave!
The other thing she did was create a joint email for her and my Dad (which I don’t think he ever would have looked at himself anyway, but his name was in the address). I guess that’s a transfer from how landlines would be for a household and not an individual and the email address was looked at the same way.
Then there’s me, with lots of email addresses for different things (especially banking and secure things, they get a unique email that is used nowhere else). Plus most business dealings I create an alias address, so if the business leaks it I can tell exactly where it came from.

I’ve been asked to co-host a Meetup event, which will just involve meeting and greeting new people and making them all sit at the same table. How to talk to people?

My Brother Laser is printing tired prints, sorta faded down the middle. I’ve never done it but I think it might be time to replace the drum and not just the ink, does that sound about right?

The groceries have arrived. The cold stuff is away and I will deal with the rest after coffee.
Sadly a few things were not available, but nothing too major. I did at least get the potatoes this time, although sadly there were no parsnips.
