That’s really nice.
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 :)
Shit.
Good luck with the interview 🤞
Much appreciated :)
sending all the good luck for the next jobs
What?! That’s terrible, hopefully you find a new role quickly.
Cheers :)
Damn dude. Hope you nail the interview.
Oh no. Mate I am so sorry.
It was a cost saving measure. They saved my salary and a new hire as well.
Oh that sucks, I’m so sorry. Hope the next interview goes well
Thank you. I’m studying for it tomorrow.
So sorry. Hope something new and better comes along quickly.
Thank you :) I’ll be pushing hard the next few weeks.
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?

I’m looking into it. There’s a couple of roles that would work I think.
Fuck. I’m sorry. Fingers crossed for the interview.
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
it’s not just that
pay rates are 1/3 of what they were in the 1970s and yet society still has the same expectations
if the changes society has endured happened in a few years we would say we are in an economic depression but since it’s been 50 years people pretend this is normal
and yes, the BIG failure is letting big business take our natural resources for free
we could be living like Norway
Exactly. The wealth disparity is growing
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) https://unison.org.au/about-us/our-properties/make-room-melbourne
Edit: Also I hope this is never needed but you can get medical care, food, and temporary boarding if necessary through Pets Of The Homeless https://www.petsofthehomeless.org.au/
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.
eat lots of roughage 👍
My fibre intake is godly. Had camera inspections recently, came up all aces.
Thank you for sharing. 👍
And cucumbers. Not high in fibre but have a lot of other good nutrients in them to keep you regular.
I eat them nearly every day. Can’t resist the crunch.
It sure is!
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
Leftover birthday cheesecake for lunch at work. Hits the spot.
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 still check out a few choice subs and comment. Much less than previously though.
Crosswords and other puzzles are great substitutes :)
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
Goodnight all and thanks for kind words ❤️
good night

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.
Too sweet?
bitter
I’ve never thought pistachios are bitter. Maybe you got a bad batch or it’s a rubbish recipe. So annoying to buy things with high expectations and it turns out to be crap.
rubbish recipe and I think bad quality ingredients
Oh wow
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 :)
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.
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.
It’s that hour again
Of distant song birds twittering
Magpies warbling
And occasional low rumble of a carThought 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.

- How to cook your own fritters
Win, win
I cooked the fritters. They’re eating them cold now.
