    Changing my Facebook profile photo to me playing a gig was a great idea for getting into a new band.

    So the solution to being overworked from the general manager is:

    Wait for it:

    FUCKING TIME MANAGEMENT!!!

    because of course im sitting around jerking off all day and not busting my ass the whole time.

    I’m out as soon as I have a new offer. I don’t want them to match it.

    Now they get what they pay for. The pace slows to match the salary.

      Time management = the person who bought up the issue IS the issue.

      I hope you get a better offer and can make like a tree

        Exactly.

        So fucking short sighted. If they’re annoyed now, they’re going to get a reality check when I move on.

    Back in Vic now. Was briefly here for a few hours this morning (driving from Pinnaroo, SA, to Balranald, NSW

    Energy and patience levels very very low. Only just left Echuca, so still a few hours from home. Probably gonna get back about 9:30. Sure hope past me tidied up before leaving (genuinely don’t remember)

    Anywho, I sorted out my shop yesterday. Will be delivered tomorrow evening, so I can have a sleep in. Gonna smash some KFC tonight, and might order some lunch in tomorrow. Who wants to cook

    Edit: KFC has been smashes. Also remembered that I ordered an ABBA vinyl from Kmart (which they apparently sell for black Thursday or whatever the stupid sale thing is called). I don’t have a vinyl player but oh well, I’m a top 0.05% ABBA fan according to Spotify

    Morning everyoneeeee 🤗 TGIF.
    The weeks are zooming by so fast for me at the moment. I feel like I blink and it’s Thursday and then the weekend. Not sure if this is good because I’m not feeling like work is dragging on so long all week, or bad because life is just slipping by quickly

      Ooh, looks big. But also looks like it’s getting blown Southwest towards Gisborne and might miss most of Melbourne. Whatever, just bring on the cool change please.

    FFS someone backed into my car when doing school pick up. Thankfully not much damage and to their credit they hung around to give me their details, but jesus I do not need the headache.

      I can empathise,I’ve been hit twice in the past year in the school scrum and one of those accidents took my car out for 6 weeks.

      Actually I shouldn’t say accident. I should say negligence. People lose their fucking minds during that time.

    Whatever I save on rent and gas connection fees at this place I’ll definitely be making up for in air-conditioning - despite having the extractor fan on and blinds and windows firmly closed the place is a furnace. I can feel the fire from behind the blinds in this west facing bedroom. It’s hotter than it is outside.

    Off to have dinner with a friend shortly but I think I’ll need to have the AC on timer while I’m out so that I can sleep in this damn place tonight 😮‍💨

      It might be worth having a little air or foam mattress to sleep in a cooler room when it’s bad. I also would put tinfoil on the sunny side windows.

      West facing bedrooms are the worst

        So much about this place that is just absolutely not what I’d choose or want, and I’m still paying so much, sigh. Not gonna focus on that tho.

        My mum might visit for a bit in Jan so I was thinking of getting a roll up foam mattress anyway, used to have one in a swag but I’ve given that away. At a stretch I could sleep on the couch with my legs bent, or resting on the arms

      I’ve had some success with taping those silver car window screen things to west-facing windows. Its unsightly but does block the heat

        Used to see those at other places, looks so ghetto but I might seriously consider it (and too bad if it reflects right off into other peoples windows across the carpark) because it’s just untenable otherwise. I’ve just come home and the air-conditioning was on for an hour and then off for an hour and it’s still hot as fuck in here, there’s no cross ventilation even with all the windows open now.

        Wish I had a way to stick them on the outside of the windows, that’s what needs to stop getting hot in the first place

      Its something in the air. I sat here reading emails thinking “man, teams is quiet today”. And it was, because I hadnt even opened it yet.

    Reporting from a shopping centre as a worker. Sales bring out the fruit loops for sure.

    Just in my store: police arrested someone for shoplifting (they should do this more often because there are lots of thieves, especially the teenagers who need to learn a valuable lesson). Someone told me that I should be at the entrance checking people’s bags and that it’s silly how I’m not stopping everyone. We have a ~3m wide entrance, so I can’t possibly stop everyone. Unless we were to do something like the COVID vaccine check. Can’t believe that was a thing. Anyway, another customer defends me, bless her. The complaining customer tells the other customer to calm down and that she’s a clinical psychologist. I know if I were a clinical psychologist, I wouldn’t be telling someone to calm down.

    My positive from this shift so far: staff parking was full so I got to park close to the entrance for the same rate as staff woop woop

    I am so excited to hopefully get a new job next year and have this on the side!
