So I guess we’re all good now. Recruiter messaged back saying it was a great reference.
HR rang to let me know my start date and time, and what to expect on my first day.
It’s done.
Thank you everyone for all your help and support ❤️❤️❤️
Now I’m going to give the cat a shit load of treats, and enjoy some video games without feeling guilty because I should be applying for jobs.
It’s been a huge learning experience the last 6 months. I won’t be forgetting the lessons any time soon.
FUCK YESSS!!! YOU DID IT! EVERYONE HERE IS AMAZING! AHHHHHH!!!
YOU DID IT! 🙌🙌 YOU DESERVE ALL THE GOOD THINGS!!! AHHHH!
Congratulations 🎉
Yay!! Congrats!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ yay!!! More treats for the fluffy butt family!!! That’s well deserved. You worked bloody hard
Well done man, you deserve it! You worked so hard to get this, congratulations 👏🎉
Boom!
Wonderful just remember how to keep the story straight 🐈
Lucky I have a great memory lol
Woo hoo!
That’s awesome to hear it’s all been sorted now!
Treat yourself as well!
So many hugs
You deserve this. 😘
That’s great news and I’m so glad things have worked out
Huzzah!!! 🎉🍾🥂
Reference has been given. Sounds like it went well! Thanks again to the poster here who was able to help me with that. Very much in their debt.
Now I’ll get a call from the recruiter later today or tomorrow which will give me the final word that we are all a go for next week.
Fingers crossed!
Edit: I send the recruiter a text to “touch base” and she said it was a great reference!!!
Thank you to the person who gave it this morning ❤️
I’m going to pretend everything is fine for next week. HR rang me yesterday letting me know who to meet and at what time.
🤞
🤞🤞🤞
You got this!!!
Good to hear dude, keep us all posted!
🤞
Woo I passed my CASPer test which means I should be transferring into Bachelor of Education by next semester!
Like Casper the ghost?

Some scenario based test to determine if youre not a sociopath. Had to record myself answering and everything.
I’m on lunch and looked that up to amuse myself - some of those scenarios are really tricky.
Well done you!
Thanks. I had COVID when I did it too so I was super glad I managed to get through it all.
Medical procedures, vomiting, death mention
This is great… I’m now vomiting liquid more frequently, cold all the time, getting dehydrated and sleeping a lot. My stomach is slowly shutting down and my doctor is telling me that I’m at risk of sudden death from malnutrition.
I’ve been trying to get a feeding tube for a while but the medical system is very slow and obstructive so I have a weird sense that I possibly might not make it.
so many hugs
are you able to go to emergency and be admitted to hospital?
This… it sucks but when the slow grind fails ER can express route
That’s the plan. I’ve done so before but didn’t get the procedure so I may need to keep returning
I’m so sorry. That sounds awful. I really hope that things improve. I know it’s cliche, and easier said than done, but staying positive and hopeful can help with coping and recovering from medical issues. You can get through this. DT needs you, stay strong.
That’s terrifying and I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I hope things improve and you have naught to fear. Sending my love and good vibes💜
Take care Melbaboutown -hugs- really hope you will recover soon, please do let us know if you also need anything too.
This is how I left Sammi earlier…
Cosy fluff muffin 🧡
That is so cute!
Beautiful. I love it when they’re a soft sleepy potato
Oh my goodness!!!
Mr Woof working on his turndown service
What a blessing!
such a cheeky boy, I love him 💖
Oh he’s precious!
Just so long as he doesn’t leave a chocolate drop on the pillow …
Happy Go-Live day folks! A project that should’ve taken max 3 weeks but ended up taking closer to 3 months is finally going in today. Threatened my team that if they bring up one more “Oh, BTW I just thought of X” in front of the vendor the next thing I deliver for them will be a resignation letter. I’m joking, but not really. I no longer care if we deliver the most broken thing in the world, I just want it off my damn plate.
Getting a hang of waking up early again. Up at 7am today and didn’t go back to sleep. Just have to keep it up for another few days and I’ll be set for next week.
It’s for good reasons, woohoo! The body will get used to it, and we are past the solstice so sunrise is a tiny bit earlier each day which will make it easier too.
Fuck yeahhhhh! Ah I’m so excited for you!!
I hope you’re stronger than me and can keep it going. I could never get up at a consistent time
I have no choice basically lol
When I got up at 6am the other day, I was an utterly useless zombie. Can’t be having that next week.
I did not expect my lovely little trip to feature a visit to urgent care, but here we are. After vomiting all day they’ve given me anti-nausea stuff. Hopefully I can actually enjoy the rest of the trip!
I missed your last comment, so I thought you were talking about a different type of trip. In any case, I hope you recover quickly and are able to enjoy the rest of your trip!!
Hope you get better soon . Lots of hugs.
Hope the problem clears up soon!
Just went through the performance discussion and I still have my job. It just seems like I’ll be getting around on 1 HP at work for a while.
My biggest hope is nothing else happens any time soon as it will be too many mistakes close together. I think I’m going to work on getting out of here and at least this allows me to leave on my own terms.
I’m sorry to hear it mate. Fingers crossed nothing bad happens until you’ve made a decision on whether or not to move on.
I’ll take things slow and check my work more before sending it off to other people. The work from home here is great but there isn’t much scope to learn because everyone who built the stuff I work on has left.
Lets hopeI can get a 6 month run of things going smoothly to serve as a soft reset if I don’t move on before then
On the way home from tennis. I gave myself two options: 1. Take PT home and order delivery or 2. Take a cab home and make food instead. I did neither, took PT home and will make food instead of ordering in. Go me!
Omfg the amount of bloatware on this laptop is insane! Windows really is just bloat at this point. It reminds me of when I was younger and used to have a cheap shitty Optus/Telstra phone they probably sold as a loss leader. They used to come with sooo much bloatware. Even the cheap Samsung’s used to.
But seriously. No I don’t fucking want Norton, LinkedIn, candy crush, Microsoft maps, or Facebook. God. And everything is so pushy, why can’t it be quiet bloatware.
Open edge
Search for chrome
“There’s no need to switch to another browser! Edge performs better.”
Close popup
Go to the download chrome page
“Microsoft edge performs up to 3x faster than >google chrome!”
Close popup
Download chrome
Open chrome
“Installer error! Failed with error code 57”
Norton popup: “we found a threat on your device! But don’t worry. We blocked it.”
I NEVER WANTED NORTON OR EDGE I JUST WANT CHROOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEEEEE. FUCK. OFF
this was also after about 15 minutes of trying to figure out how to fuck all the Microsoft garbage off and just use a local account.
And now:
MSI Centre popup: “Have you backed up your system?”
NO I HAVEN’T BACKED UP MY FUCKING SYSTEM THERE’S NOTHING TO BACKUP YET YOU DONKEY! I HAVENT EVEN INSTALLED CHROME YET!!!
Imo, reinstall the LTSC version of windows and dual boot Mint.
Shame they didn’t get you a mac.
And Firefox not Chrome.
Idk what LTSC is, but I think I’ve gotten rid of all the bloat now. Not really interested in Linux on this laptop. Also chrome, not Firefox.
Update: it just arrived. I checked the tracking at 7:18 and it was still saying ready for processing so I went to the kitchen to grab some cheeky ice cream, and then there was a surprise knock on my door! Delivered at 7:21, and after double checking the tracking they’ve retroactively marked it as on board for delivery in Tullamarine at 7:12 (definitely wasn’t there before). I’m a lot more than 8 minutes from tullamarine. I’ll be honest - I jumped when I heard the knock. And yes, it came through startrack not auspost (although in my mind they’re still the same thing)
Not complaining though, that was bloody efficient. I mean look at this!
New laptop day though!
What kind of laptop did you get? I want to get one for school bc my current one won’t work without being plugged in lol. Still technically a laptop, but not portable haha
I got an MSI Thin A15 “gaming” laptop. I specifically went with this one as it seemed to be the best at that price point and had a dedicated graphics card.
Although it’s a “gaming” laptop, I fully intend on rocking this to school. I’ll turn off the RGB keyboard, and maybe tape an apple logo over the main one (although it’s not RGB and fairly discreet) or something. It’s got a metal case and full size HDMI out + ethernet, so I don’t see why you couldn’t rock it to school. Then again I have a friend whose school only permits MacBooks, even though they aren’t school provided or managed. So I guess YMMV
Honestly this weather is so fucking shit. Literally have not left the house today and frankly it’s probably going to stay that way.
it’s fucking freezing
so I will be staying home tomorrow sewing
I’ve been walking around with my shirt on inside out. I’m not changing it because that would be unlucky.
The fairies will not be able to find you. Always supposing that you want them to find you.
That variety of Fae are not cute and should not be taunted. If you don’t own a ring stone And a see something weird get drunk!
