Inspection went fine! Actually had the senior PM come, instead of the newbie from last time. Senior PM said newbie was wrong about the law regarding downlights, lol, and that it does in fact require an electrician that the RE will send out to change 😂 newbie told us it’s the tenants responsibility, but didn’t realise the difference between a screw in bulb and downlights LOL!
so after a year of not having kitchen lights, and six months of not having a normal bathroom one, the RE is gonna get that fixed for us. Senior PM apologised profusely and said we weren’t the only tenants that were given the incorrect info either.
I couldn’t stop laughing! I’m not even mad 😂
had the senior PM come
Albo?
LOL!!!

Had to attend an emergency meeting with the CTO of a client and explain why we fucked up without any forewarning.
Phone interview went well. Have a teams interview on Friday!!
Yikes! As in your side of the fence didn’t give you any heads up? I’d be demanding an answer as to why that’s appropriate from your boss.
Bingo. And man, that guy was really fucking pissed off.
There’s no point getting accountability. Some people here have a halo and can do no wrong.
Fingers crossed for the new role.
what the actual fuck. can you get a moment with boss’s boss and sort of go “Man. WTF? I mean, why should I put up with this?” and just see what they say. So long as your not under probation who gives a rats what they think at this point.
And there’s the problem. I’m still under probation till the end of January…
but by the sound of it they arnt gonna let you go though. They cant afford to can they?
Nah they can’t. But still. I’d want my probation over and signed off before I start pushing back.
Meeting over! 2.5 hours later, I’m so exhausted. There was a few times I felt like I was giving garbled answers to questions asked on the spot, and also being in full focus for that long is pretty tough. But overall I think I presented and communicated well. Client seemed happy too so that’s what counts.
I think I deserve a takeaway pizza tonight and a night off any cooking.
Wait is it pizza night on the DT? Because I’m down to celebrate alongside you.
Literally just had left over pizza lol - I think it is pizza night!! 🤤
Well done!! Treat yourself!!
2.5 hours is a long time to be “on”.
have pizza, beer, stare at the wall and pat the cat
Yeesh. That’s a super long meeting.
You definitely deserve something after a meeting of that magnitude.
Obviously! What a stud
Big work meeting this afternoon. I mean BIG, there’s a lot on the line. I’m as prepared as I can be and a bit more prep this morning. I was feeling super nervous about it yesterday. Calmer on waking up this morning but the nerves are coming back. Deep breaths help - I will be fine, it will go fine.
🤞
🤞😘
it’ll be what it’ll be. Just put your best foot forward.
Good luck!

It’s not a small issue, you’ve been cheated of both the supports you should have had but also of the right to do necessary things for yourself.

depending on your spoons, if you’re a big enough pain in their arse and keep pestering them about it, they can and fucking will make exceptions.

did a bit of digging and they absolutely have special dispensation for DV, deceased estates and victims of natural disaster, but it must be a “special request”
might have to actually call them, or go to the GPO - lpo are franchisees, I don’t see them having the authority to kick it up.
I somewhat get it. I moved out as a minor and had some of this nonsense. Difference was I had a lawyer for a father who could hand over a business card and mostly make the shit go away. Sorry.
so many hugs

…you’ve got time to turn things around.
This feels uncomfortably close to a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality… 😔
deleted by creator
It’s just that you keep putting it on them, as if they need to be the one to “turn things around” when their rant was specifically about external systems prejudicing them. They can’t “turn around” AusPost’s decision to deny them the ability to redirect their mail?
Basically, they are trying to ask these systems for help, and are being denied. So why put it on their shoulders? Why not be outraged that someone is falling through the gaps, through no fault of their own?
I get that you have good intentions here, but I feel like you’re kind of missing the point in a big way…

I laugh everytime I see a post on AustralianSpiders, where OP posts a picture of a black spider with a red stripe and asks “iS tHiS a ReDbAcK???”
The clue is in the name, my guy 😂😂😂
And yes, it was, and she’s gravid - enjoy OP! 😂😂
I like the ones where OP will show a bit of leg skin with a small welt and ask What bit me?
Um definitely something small and bitey 🤷♀️
Then you get the replies such as: Go and see a GP to Get to the Emergency Room immediately because my best friends dentist’s next door neighbour had that same bite and their leg fell off. This is no joke.
And it could be that nothing bit then! They could have just grazed their leg slightly and it raised a welt 😂
Why ask Reddit? They’re not psychic time travelling detectives looking to solve the mystery of your minor injury 😂
I’d rather do surgery on myself blindfolded than ask reddit for medical advice.
deleted by creator
chances are you have been bitten by a redback and dismissed it. Generally it’s just swelling and feeling seedy af
Even then, if one has a suspected bite from a redback, don’t ask Reddit 😂

while you slept the south korea president did a failed coup
Sleepy coups are the best kind of coups.
Yeah lasted like 2 hours?
yeah that was not news i was expecting to wake up to.
And blamed the north for it
Didn’t even ask his own party!
While I struggled to sleep*
was it a real failed coup? Cos I remember Erdogan did a fake failed coup to make a pretense to bring in authoritarian laws and to purge the public service
yup he is done his own party doesn’t support him, the military left too
deleted by creator
yeah and it’s already over
The president accused the opposition of being north Korean agents (They’re not) and declared martial law. Police tried to prevent MPs from entering parliament to vote to end martial law but failed and it voted 190-0 in favour of ending it. The military initially sided with the president and said they’d wait for him and ignore parliament, but then changed their mind and stood down.
People are calling for the president to resign. His party isnt even om his side. It was a failed coup attempt
Guess who is obsessed this year
Fuck yeah!
I’ve been doing the Salival version of PushIt at open mics and it’s been going down a treat!
Nice one. You are a person of high culture.
oooh thank you for reminding me!
New ball. Long throws and crazy bounce.
Sunset gallahs
Howzat!
I thought it was a chewed tennis ball. Zoomed in and it is not.
Gridiron ball. It’s brilliant. I could never really throw a proper size one, but this flies like rocket!
Gorgeous evening light. Today was a corker of a day.
About 6kg of cherries have now been picked. Probably that much again left on the tree if I was feeling enthusiastic enough to pick them.
Now I need to work out what to do with them - they are cooking cherries (morello), not sweet eating cherries. I’ll probably just pit & freeze them for now and do some baking later.
Try drying them. Pit a trayful and put them on a lined baking tray in a very low oven - 30-50 deg - basically the defrost function if your oven has one - with the fan on. Stir them about every hour or so until they dry to snapping point. Or stop at the shrivelled but still bendy stage and freeze them in a vacuum bag. I’ve heard of people drying them in a microwave but I’ve never done that and don’t know how. Dried cherries are a wonderful snack and really add something to cakes, mince pies etc. I’ve put them in chook stuffing too. Use them anywhere that calls for sultanas or currants or raisins.
I’ve dried cherries before and didn’t really use them. I might do a few to go in the next fruit cake I make - I have a dehydrator, which makes it much easier than the oven method. Although it is currently filled with chicken scraps destined for dog food, I really need to get onto packing that away too.
Ooh. Fruitcake! Giant jar, some sort of booze, citrus peel etc. just sit and forget.
I’m just fucking exhausted. That’s all. I go to bed exhausted, wake up too early, exhausted.
Today is the day I’m gonna have a zillion coffees and get shit done cos it’s gonna be hot the next 3 days. Just have to get off the couch now.
Imma go out and do some shopping and then come home and cook a few day’s meals
That sounds like a good plan.

Mamma Mia what a drama
Kmart sell vinyls?! This is news to me.
deleted by creator
Record paradise on Sydney Rd might have them, there’s also another vinyl store that’s opened recently on Sydney road but I don’t remember the name lol
Was it ABBA Gold?
No, vinyl. He did say, weren’t you paying attention?
I’m paying attention. I’m not up with the new music is all.
Completely understandable. I keep listening to new music and thinking to myself “this isn’t better than the 100,000 songs I already have in my library” and falling back on that stuff.
I have a playlist that’s literally called “new music that doesn’t suck”, and even that is 5+ years old. Not new at all according to the kids.
Kids these days wanna hear music this century but last century was much better.

Good choice
Kmart and Big W have this problem, their click and collect can be really slow.

Blame the managers lol, one server?? Yeah okay.
It’s a shit experience for a customer, but it’s management’s fault 100%.

Fucking scumbag! Being a manager is just such a power trip for some 🤮
Most people don’t get it if they’ve never worked a customer facing or customer service job 😔

I don’t think I’ve seen all the registers manned anywhere, no matter how busy it is. A supermarket or Kmart can have people lining up and there will still be lanes closed
