yay, the small indie supermarket had eggs
Spent a good chunk of the day applying for roles in different departments. There’s 3 I am super keen on, wish me luck.
I guess if they pay you 3 salaries, you can do 3 roles. Sounds exhausting though!
🤞
🤞🏼
Good luck!
Good luck! I got the one I applied for in December.
Congrats!!
Thankyou. I’m second guessing myself even before I’ve started. It’s a six month secondment, so we’ll see how I go!
You’ll do fine. If you have something to fall back onto, even better.
🤞🏼
I think know what I’m going to use those virtual desktops, or remote spaces for. I’ve got a couple of projects at work on the go already now, so instead of having a bunch of tabs open across two screens I can separate them out to their own desktops and have everything I need for them there.
That way I won’t get lost amongst all the tabs and I can keep focused on one specific task at a time. Let’s see if it works
So PSA. If you want to use an IKEA gift card purchased online immediately, you can’t.
What a joke. 48h.
Edit: And ones bought in-store are 24h (as told to me by a staff member).
Recently I was told by JB hifi as well that I couldn’t use their gift cards to buy other types of online credit for gaming services.
Was told it was an anti scamming measure.
Real shame as well as I often end up with JB gift cards.
My son got a bunch of EB gift cards for a b-day a while back…couldn’t use them for PS or Steam cards.
I get it…but at the same time I don’t.
That’s strange. I’ve had no trouble using EB Gift cards for ps cards.
I did it last month on the website.
Really? Maybe the policy changed. This was back in 2023 I think and in store. Haven’t tried since.
I rang up one of the stores just to check as well and they said you can redeem gift cards for ps store.
Yep.
If you still have the gift cards you could probably do it now.
Website will only let you one one gift card per transaction but in store they’ll take multiple.
Anti scammer measure I’ll bet. So dimwits won’t buy gift cards to pay for their parking infringements issued by the Australian Federal Police.
Haha, it’d be funny since these are for IKEA.
Good news is I’m back from the shops with everything we need until next week. Bad news is it took 2 hours. Good news is the dog didn’t shit on my carpet while we were gone.
I’m going to wait 2 weeks before approaching my manager again about the outcome of the raise discussions.
Have kept applying and have a couple more interviews next week.
Will have to be working outside office hours anyway, and the raise would make it worthwhile, but we’ll see.
Fingers crossed.
Will it be worth it if you got the raise?
From the impression I got it felt like they were overloading you with clients and work.
There’s got to be a point where you have to tell them that you’ve been given too much work or too many clients to deal with?
Lets hope you get a raise to make it worth it or a job that’s just better overall
good deed done for the day. Someone on reddit wanted a postcard from aus so just got that done. Jesus my writing is appalling.
I love this.
Postcards are awesome.
Are they a collector of postcards or something?
I think so. said they didnt have one from Aus.
I saw this. Thought youse might like it.
I feel that in my bones lol
Love it!
I am feeling this very hard today!
🤬
Two years ago, I went to see a psychiatrist for an ADHD assessment. Did some questionnaires, as did my mum, and after a half an hour telehealth consultation, I was told I have ADHD. The report I was given by this psychiatrist was riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes, and claimed things like I have binge eating disorder and insomnia, when I don’t have either of those things. The directions for medications were vague, and the GP I went to had trouble following what was written. This GP isn’t thorough himself, writing me a mental health care plan with also lots of mistakes, and one that said I was going to see a psychologist because of three types of insomnia that you can’t have all at once. But to avoid paying $60 out of pocket to see the more thorough GP up the road, I didn’t really have a choice. Besides, that GP said, “Really?!! We would’ve picked that up when you were younger,” when I said I thought I had ADHD.
So today, the GP asked me if I really needed medication. I tell him that’s his job to determine, but I have always struggled to stay afloat doing pretty much anything, and it’s made my life hell. He then asked me if I wanted to try a different medication, so he can change the permit to allow him to prescribe it. I told him I didn’t want to try a long-acting medication again, because I couldn’t sleep. He then tells me that he can’t change the permit to let me have something else, and the report is shit, and I should see a psychiatrist again.
$900 out of pocket to see the first psychiatrist, probably a couple of hundred to try medication for depression and ADHD, lots of learned helplessness and valuable time lost… and now even more money down the drain. The price gouging is insane, exploiting people who are struggling and in need of answers. I’ve also heard of people who got a diagnosis, and somehow they’ve missed bipolar disorder when taking their hx, and oop, they’ve ended up with stimulant-induced psychosis.
I went to the optometrist last year, who said I have a focusing problem with my eyes. Maybe that’s what it’s been this whole time.
It just makes me wonder if I should even bother trying meds, or if I should just give up. But I cannot keep maintaining the status quo, or I will be giving up on life.
I feel for you. Hearing what people I know pay for psych appointment is horrendous.
Hopefully you can get a second opinion from a different psychiatrist. I have heard stories before of people having additional conditions to adhd, which get missed because adhd symptoms can overlap with other things. If the medication is causing your life quality to be lower than without it, this sounds like it’s definitely the wrong stuff and needs a review. Taking it should be helpful, not make things worse.
That’s such fucking bullshit, and sadly a story I’ve heard before.
update: Oh look, suddenly they have some new reviews lavishing adoration on their customer service after I explicitly mentioned how crap it was.
geralt hmm
(I wasn’t dwelling, they replied to me with a simpering wank and I wasn’t having it so I blasted them again)
I’m going to the museum in a bit. I could do with a nice chill day
How good is this weather? I’ll be school shoe shopping today with the kid where she’ll complain that they’re all ugly and it’s hard to choose between ugly and ugly.
cranking open every door and window and embracing the lack of moist
Feels weird to suddenly having a day like this.
I was about to go out for a little for some fresh air but I don’t think I will anymore.
Go. We’ve only got 2 or 3 days before the heat returns so go outside now.
I know I’m going out tomorrow so that’s ok too.
Argh. I really aimed to wake up early today but I only made it as early as 10:30 today.
That’s good.
neighbour chose today to use a jackhammer , I think I’ll go out soon
Good idea.
I needed a break from the heat, same as the fluffy ones amongst us lol
Bliss for the next couple of days!
One of my housemates left the back door open overnight, which usually annoys me, but damn it’s a nice morning
A happy accident.
Ahh, companies. All ‘fuck you, peasant, eat my arse’ until you cancel your account and post on product review then it’s all ‘we’re sorrryyy how can we fix this??’
Pity PR won’t let me actually reply with ‘eat my arse’
😂 Sometimes I think I just wait for your comments to brighten my day.
don’t do that, I’m a horrible misanthrope
Ahahaha, well it takes one to know one. 👋🏻
awesome, come sit at an ignorable distance from me and we’ll despise together
With a raised eyebrow and a ‘can you believe this shit’ glance when appropriate!
