Given that we know Gibson is in fact a cat, Honey is probably more appropriate.
That’s so good!! Congrats! Your persistence has paid off.
Thank goodnesss
So glad you landed the job and you never gave up!
Good going for you, it’s time to celebrate!
🎉
Congratulations!
I am relieved to hear this, I was concerned that teenage-you had stuffed you up for life. My work absolutely would have cared.I was prepared to have the contract withdrawn. It has happened twice already this year. I guess I got lucky with this place. And they appreciated that what happened was 9 years ago, and that I was honest and upfront about it.
Fuck yeah! Late to the party as usual but congratulations my dude! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Right on
OMG THATS AWESOME 😎😎 😎
I’m having inguinal hernia surgery tomorrow.
Have a feeling in my bones that you’ll be just fine and will enjoy a quick recovery.
Me too. It’s a simple operation. It’s the admin side of medicine that’s the problem.
very gentle hugs
Thanks, I’ve spent the day getting things set up for at least two weeks of uselessness.
Allll the tv and snacks.
and the medical cannabis.
Noice.
Ouch. Hope it goes well!
Hope everything goes well ❤️
May you have a speedy recovery mate.
Ooh hope you have a speedy recovery 🙏
She’ll be right. Quick little snip and patch and you’ll be good to go 💯
Exactly. I’ve patched clothing and done anatomy wet labs. I even helped the student doctor sew my fingertip back on.
Good luck, hope it goes well and you have an easy recovery
Time to find out shortly. I’ll keep you posted 🙂
🤞
You got it Simon
Crossing all of the fingers and toes for you!
Crossed fingers for you bro🍀🤞
🤞🤞
💪🗿💪 you got this!
YASSS
Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you!!!

I’m really fucking sorry for what’s happened mate. I really am.
What an absolute piece of fucking shit.
This is also on the people running the house. Speak to your worker about being reimbursed for what’s been destroyed.
It’s their responsibility to provide a safe place for you and your stuff.
Don’t let them off the hook.
And I would be demanding someone stay at the house with you for the next few weeks at minimum. Your safety is their responsibility.

Good on you for standing up for yourself!
From everything you’ve written since I’ve been here, these people are happy to abdicate responsibility at the drop of a hat. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and considering everything that’s happened ie: you having to live in a hotel, what this moron has done to your stuff and the house, it’s a very reasonable request to not only have everything replaced, but to have either a couple of workers, or in the least they could hire a security guard of some description.
I haven’t been through what you have, but I know how shitty government beuracracy can treat you when you’re young. How your needs can be ignored repeatedly.
They don’t get to get away with the incompetence that has led to these circumstances. Fuck all that.
That aside, I have to say, if I was in your shoes, at your age, I wouldn’t be handling this half as well as you are. I really mean that.
Good on you for keeping a level head and being systematic in how you’re going to resolve this!
Can you report the macbook theft to apple?

What an absolute knob. I’m sorry this is happening to you mate
deleted by creator
I’m so sorry. What an awful thing to happen. I don’t know why people are like that. Do they feel good to trash someone stuff? Why??? Hopefully police will be helpful. Even if they aren’t, you’ll be doing the right thing to report it.
Bloody hell. This is a nightmare. I hope it gets sorted for you quickly and they get the help they clearly need (and leave you alone)
okay, chairs are done, phew, that was hard work
spoiler
Those are AWESOME! So much hard work but the results are soooo worth it.
I love your choice of materials and patterns 😍

I’m only just catching up on your saga now and holy hell. Your nightmare experience puts most of us sheltered plebs’ complaints about shitty neighbours and housemates to shame - I can’t believe that deeply fucked cockhead got away with so much cruel, wanton damage and you’re left in such a heightened state. I’m so sorry. It’s unbelievable that the State is exposing an underage person to levels of danger that would be unacceptable on so many fronts.
You write well and are level-headed Baku - I sincerely hope that helps you escalate this outrageous situation to the highest level and get some appropriate compensation and protection. I hope you never ever have to experience this sort of thing again.
I’ve had similar experiences and saw this little fuckwit coming a mile away.
I hope he ruins his own life irreparably and has nobody else left to blame
More stuff to put in the report to the minister. Sucks to have to go through it now though.
Tidy up.
Then take photos of all your stuff and your rooms. That way you can tell if someone has been there touching your stuff.
Brace your door with a wedge so it can’t be entered.

Can you put a cupboard or something up against the window just in case?
deleted by creator
Put empty glass bottles around where the window is, that way any intruder will make a noise.
deleted by creator
Another suggestion that may help. Smear vaseline or similar all over the outside windowsill (if any). Anyone attempting to get in will not be able to get a grip on it to raise themselves up to that level. They’ll have to bring a ladder or whatever which appears to be a level of forward planning that this nincompoop is not capable of. And bringing equipment makes noise. One very old trick is to attach a rattly thing or a small bell to the window at the top where it can’t be seen from outside but will make noise if the window is opened unexpectedlike. Enough noise to alert you and get your phone up and recording if someone does break in. Like a shop bell - the old fashioned sort on a spring that tinkles when the door is opened.

Is there any avenue for you to replace the high value items via insurance or something like that?
I’m sorry you’ve had to return to all the chaos but in the end as much as it hurts to lose material items, as long as you’re safe, that’s what’s most important.

Living in fear sucks hard. I’m sorry. I hope things get better soon.
It was four months ago I wished you a happy birthday. Quick maths tells me you’ll age out of the system in another eight months. I hope you’re able to find your own place with some stability and safety to it.

Christ, so you’re only 17 and dealing with this stuff? Wow. You’re mature as heck dude. I’m sorry this is all happening to you.
Not good memory, I searched my old posts because Lemmy is set up good like that.

Doing my part to get to 300 comments.
Also time for a rainy walk. Absolutely love walking in the rain, even without an umbrella.
Maybe I have a genetic predisposition to loving the rain considering where I’m from…
Tinyest can now clap to the parts of “if your happy and you know it” which is pretty awesome. He’s also waving “Hello” after being able to wave bye bye for a while now. He does both at random though, and occasionally wants a high 5 or clap in between a waves. Still, progress. Scrubs was right, it really is like having a dog that slowly learns to talk.
Clever boy!

Was just reminded that at my previous job, the 33f supervisor and the 40m appointment setter called each other “work husband/wife”. She has a long-term boyfriend, and he is married to his husband…
I’ve given myself the ick again. I hate those terms. Like, we don’t have to reduce every male/female friendship into “wife/husband”, just with the “work” qualifier.
Men and women can be friends at the workplace, and it is entirely appropriate to call each other “friends”. My hot take is that “work husband/wife” is gross and inappropriate.
Fully support this. Its a term that feels like it belongs from an early 2010s buzzfeed list. Gross.
Thank you! You get it!
I used to call my boss work dad… his boss was work grandad
Not quite the same as what you’re talking about but this brought up the memory. I made him a “worlds goodest work dad” mug once.
I wouldn’t say it’s gross or inappropriate just weird.
Gross and inappropriate to dismiss male/female platonic friendships, and instead label it “work husband/wife”.
Especially when both are already in serious relationships. I think I’m just sick of the lie that men and women can’t be friends. Prolly from my own experience of being accused of cheating every time I spoke about work to my ex and mentioned a male colleague, now that I think about it 👀 Why do we have to add romantic undertones to a opposite sex friendship?
The terms are just weird. Like, it’s not hard to say “my friend from work”, “work friend”, “James/Jessie/Meowth from accounting and I had a nice lunch together”
Got some news for you - now it seems that ANY platonic friendship gets sexualised in some people’s minds. For me, I think someone that thinks that way is severely limited by their own expectations that ALL relationships MUST be sexual. And we all know that that just isn’t the case.
It’s almost as if people are attracted to everyone they ever meet / talk to.
I caught up with a friend of the opposite gender a while ago, and these two women sitting next to us asked if we were on a Tinder date.
Oh I getcha now.
The term doesn’t imply any sexual relationship. It means they are close colleagues and got each others backs at work, and can safely talk shit about the workplace with each other. I don’t think it’s gross but probably there could be a better term, maybe workplace besties?
Edit: I will add, that if it’s a manager/team member or some other connection that is leading to favouritism or unfairness in the team that needs to be addressed. But other than that I really wouldn’t care what people like to call their friendships.
Doggo walk noir…
You take some great photos!
Hey thanks.
This would be the perfect album cover. May I borrow this pic if I promise to credit you?
Sure, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I will be in my blanket fort for the rest of the day. If anyone needs me, too bad.
I’ll wave to you from my box fort.
spoiler
Will there be pets in there to talk to or atleast to Dutch oven?
Cats are welcome (and any dogs who happen to be around) but the cat seems to be snuggled into one of his 75 beds and doesn’t want to know me, alas.
Nawwww. Cat doing cat things. So cute.
I’ve been taking the dog outside on a retractable lead. I encourage him to do pee-pees but he’s shy even though I know he’s a dirty little boy.
So I put some newspaper down in the kitchen and explained nicely that in times of an emergency could he please use the facilities provided and NOT on my fucking carpet. 🤞
I’ve had a similar conversation with Gibson about hairballs.
We’re still in negotiations…
