    Feeling better. At the end of the day, I never give up. I wouldn’t be here now if I was like that.

    So the job search continues.

    Owing to Chef’s obtainment of a second shift job, Breakfast at the usual Breakfast time will cease in one (1) month. Would patrons like Elevenses instead, or for the daily food service to meet its end?

      Congratulations on a new job! I think you should move to a food truck and when you’re in the area, give a little toot and see who’s hungry.

      Congrats! I would be happy with whatever the chef prefers, so long as the after eight business continues. I second the food truck idea - pure genius!

    Still upset about what my friend said last night. I somewhat gave up on our closeness a while ago since he got into a relationship.

    But to think that someone you considered family thinks so little of your capabilities is hurtful.

    Full disclosure: I’m on disability support pension. The way it works is if you’re employed you report your income and if something happens, you don’t have to reapply.

    So when he said “maybe you should just stay on DSP”, it was like a knife in the chest.

    Sorry for the rant, but it’s been bugging me.

      It hurts when the people we expect to support our endeavors shit all over them instead.

      Fuck what he said. You want a job in the field you know. You’ve done it before, you can get another one too. Use his shithouse attitude as your motivator, prove him wrong. You are intelligent and clever, capable. I believe in you!

      Have you looked into insurance attached to your super? Being on DSP means you’re almost certainly eligible for a TPD claim if you were covered when you last stopped work. Returning to work may void your potential to make a claim for TPD in future. Claiming TPD also does not mean that you aren’t allowed to return to work in future. AMA (anyone) this is something I know lots about

    Final night in Japan. Pretty bushed but satisfied with how the day went and also ready to go home. It feels nice to think of somewhere in Australia really as home after over a decade of uncertainty.

    My bag is absolutely packed to the max with stuff including like 1kg of tea in 13 different packets. And thankfully there’s a free laundry at the hotel so I don’t have to travel with the last few days clothes stinking everything up. Feeling pretty good about things and glad not to be dreading work…

      You know what it is? At least in my workplace: Its become easier to ASK someone rather than engage your own brain. And i fucking HATE it. Where are the managers in all this? Oh they’re “Too Busy” to know their staff are incompetent as fuck? C’mon!!! if I get one more @everyone “ITS NOT WOOOOOORKING” message on teams I’m gonna lose my fucking mind.

        Just a heads up your spoiler didn’t quite work. To be fair, Lemmy spoilers are kind of consuming, but it needs to look like this:
