Automating leave requests is ridiculous. It sounds like once an arbitrary number of staff are on leave on any given day, you get rejected? A business running on not enough staff is not your problem.

I can understand that reason being given once, but it sounds like a resourcing issue to me if it’s happened to you over and over. You can’t be expected to know when you want a few days of leave several months in advance.

Had to visit Camberwell for a meeting today, not an area of Melbourne I’ve ever visited. Such a contrast to my west side hood, in the types of people walking around, the much nicer houses and buildings. Their office was very flashy. Felt like the person from the ghetto seeing how the other side lives.

Did they give a business reason for saying no? I don’t think you can just deny for whatever reason, especially over and over again, these are your rights to use.

If there’s one hat I absolutely hate wearing for this business, it is the IT hat. Spending my evening dealing with IT crap and I have zero patience for it when anything doesn’t go to plan.
Trying to integrate new CRM software into my workflow, one of the main reasons I purchased the software licence is because it includes a very useful Outlook plugin. Which only functions if your email account is hosted by Microsoft 365, which mine is not. So now I have to change email providers, migrate my inbox, set up access / 2FA all over again. I can’t be bothered with this.

I’m hearing fireworks thinking why on a regular Monday night? It’s Chinese new year, I’ll allow it haha.

I was juggling shopping bags and my heavy backpack on one shoulder arriving home earlier when the backpack slipped off my shoulder and landed directly on my big toe.
Screams of anguish followed, my god it hurt like hell. Worst part is over and I’m icing my toe.

I feel attacked. Although I used to have a full beard, then had a trimming accident and just kept the mo for a change up. I have a “soul patch” as well for some differentiation from the masses lol

I saw her run before the final final, and she wiped the field. Then woke up to the news, what the hell?! Feeling for her.

Same here, I got hooked in by Olympics last night. Tonight I will turn off earlier.
- Comment on Discussion Thread 🦤 Wednesday 11 February 2026 1 week ago:
Some of these winter Olympic sports are so dangerous - flipping and spinning in the air, riding rails with ski’s, the athletes have no fear. It looks so cool but wow one wrong move and ouch.

Stress in general - business stress, personal stress, also bad bedtime routine. It all adds up. Yesterday I made a few changes and noticed a difference, need to keep the momentum going.

Same here, I wish I felt like this every day. The positive difference in my mood is crazy. Sadly I get more bad than good sleep these days…

I saw a tree (a single tree) changing colour too, this with the gloomy cloud and cool added to the autumn vibes.

Meeting with the place I do contract work for just finished. I asked for a bigger fee % for most types of projects I handle for them, plus now was the time to go for it with their resource shortages. I was pretty nervous, but prepared and I made my case. Now I want to hear what they say. If they say no, then I’ll just pick up less of their work and they can deal with the shortfall of their resources themselves. It’s not going to become my problem when they don’t incentivise me.

Arrived at co-working this morning with all of the stuff on my desk moved, obviously someone had decided to make it their home. I go to connect my laptop to my monitor and the HDMI cable is gone. Whoever was here decided to take a little gift with them as well. Thankfully the staff here had a spare cable I could use. But still, who steals a cable that clearly belongs to someone? Like they yanked it out of the monitor, you don’t just walk away with the cable by mistake!

We replaced the hair dryer heat with stickiness. Bring on Sunday’s 19 degrees.

Ugh the place I do contract work for is absolutely pummelling me with new projects to take on. Looks like they’ve had some staff leave recently. No, I can’t do your work full time. I feel bad for ignoring the project offers but they are a stop-gap at the end of day, not my full-time gig. They definitely have enough work to hire someone with my experience full time, but it’s cheaper to just use the contractor I guess. They also don’t pay me nearly enough to take on the extra burden of their staff shortages.
I’m planning to use this situation to my advantage to get a better deal on fees, they obviously need me and I’ve been working for them long enough now to have some leverage. I’ve booked a call with the head manager next week, let’s see how we go! I’m becoming more ruthless in business by the day haha. But also, I need to earn the $$.

Tidying up around the house, there’s crap everywhere after a busy week. Dealing with laundry. Watering the indoor plants. Gym & pool in the afternoon. Have a massive pasta craving so will make for dinner. Then tennis watching & chill.

I like watching the snowboard half pipe, the ski jumping, watching winter sports when it’s warm here.
