RESIGNATION IS DONE!
Catchya fucking later.
(I still have 4 weeks notice though lol)
Edit: the person I’ve been seeing is taking me out to dinner to celebrate. Absolute legend!
the owners must have noticed by now something is very wrong with how the company has been run
Apparently they’re cool with it.
It’s owned by venture capitalists. So they’re stripping it of staff ,and offloading all the work onto whoever is left.
They’re also telling staff to get as many projects signed off as soon as possible to make them look good to a buyer I presume.
venturevulture capitalistsFucking oath man
they actually want you to see out your notice?! Really?! I’d be politely pointing out that if a customer asks why your departing you wouldn’t be comfortable lying. That should solve that problem fairly quickly!
Dude the new manager still doesn’t know what my job is exactly, or what it entails lol
He’s asking me in my fucking resignation meeting about it 😂
And you’re right. That’s a good point. I’ll bring it up in the stand up tomorrow morning.
Yay!
Just don’t burn down your bridges just incase. I’ve seen some weird times where it’s come back to bite people.
Totally. I’ve been very professional and am preparing my handover notes over the coming weeks.
This whole thing is going to fuck over my favourite people at this place, so want to make it as easy as possible.
It’s such a shame but you come first!
I’m genuinely going to miss them, and hope to maintain contact with a couple of them. The representative of one of the clients I work with wants to go and get some drinks sometime before I leave. I thought that was pretty cool!

I think they thought I was bluffing.
And the new manager seemed to be on the back foot during the meeting.
He kept asking me a bunch of questions about what my job is lol
He kept asking me a bunch of questions about what my job is lol
omg, that manager is just sooo incompetent
I’ll warm my hands on the dumpster fire this place has become lol
brutal
FFFFFFFFFFFFFREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM
HELL YEAH!!
So good to hear! Congratulations! 🥳

Congratulatiooooons!!!
Congrats! ✨
Thank you. I need this. 🙂🌊🩴🦢🐧🌴
Yay! Cool times coming.
Congrats!!!
Wooo! 🏖️🐚
AWESOME!! I had just moved walking distance to the beach just before COVID and it saved me. Never moving away! Sometimes you just need mama ocean.
Nice one!
Congrats!
I know I say this a lot, but I am so grateful for this space on the internet. Thanks y’all for being rad. Being able to celebrate, commiserate, rant, share, joke - I really appreciate it.
Hope everyone finds some light and joy in your day today.
sending those good vibes right back atcha 😘
this is a kind place
I know exactly how you feel ❤️ This is pretty much the only place I comment anymore.
I got a slow blink from one of the strays!!!
Well that’s it, time to get the good gin out lol
The squint of approval!
My life has now peaked lol
What a day
Lotto ticket time lol
Tonight’s wave!
At a really fast shutter spd. you can see it’s way less splashy than you think in person… it is blobby!:
This reminds me of those gorgeous photos of a single drop falling into a glass of milk and the rebound energy makes a perfect coronet around the edge of the impact zone.
That is absolutely gorgeous!
That is so cool.
Aldi has a kind of crappy web site. I can’t search their list of grocery products. I made apricot chicken but had to get the apricot nectar and french onion soup mix from Coles. I prefer to avoid colesworth where able.
I wish they had home delivery, they would then get all my business.
very crappy! though BOM is top of my shit list at the moment.

i am here to preach beta BOM
beta BOM is good
I hate it. I remember 15 years ago you had the option to make a shopping list to price everything out and then you could choose to print it.
Now for a lot of things you can’t even see the prices or what they have. I get why but it still sucks
I didn’t know that they even had an online list of those. Thought it was mostly for corporate guff, and photos of their catalogue.
Early lunch because NOTHING is functioning at work.
I soothe my angst with a crispy pork rice bowl
🔥🐖🍚
Thank you

Mate, just don’t go. Look after you. You owe nobody anything. Hugs ❤️

You don’t need to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.
One thing I’ve learned is that you can go for two hours then bail. You don’t have to be the last to leave, you can even be the first. I’m the oldest and brokest of my cousins.
You’re not behind, you 1) survived 2) are getting healthy and 3) are starting to thrive.
that’s a bigger accomplishment.
I agree.

It’s really tough going through all the emotions and pain of getting out of bad relationship dynamics. I look at my sibs and some are happy with the way thing are, they are the abusers, and others are miserable. They are the victims. But none seem to make efforts to question or change . They seem more stable but stable as what?
deleted by creator
A lot of could just be…well how do you approach a subject like that? I don’ t mean just checking in saying “howya doing?” but even acknowledging the depth and breadth of something like that is just something a lot of people just can’t fucking handle or even begin to handle, so they get weird about it and decide pretending after the fact is a tactic. Which doesn’t fucking help, but at the same time, aggravatingly, you can’t fault them for not being able to handle it.
Ignore can function multiple directions. Hugs.
You have no idea how much that shit sets you back in life. While other kids are building skills and confidence and networking you’re stuck in survival mode and start out at a massive disadvantage.
Look at it like this. If you’re not able to thrive to that level yet and unable to provide whatever it is that they want, is it really your fault? What did they give you? It was their job to build you up and since that didn’t happen they don’t reap the fruits.
I think they get what they gave. /shrug
deleted by creator
Yeah sorry, not criticising. Just reinforcing that you don’t owe them anything.

All good!
I bet Spud gives them more time and care they ever gave her.
Agreed
You are amazing and we all love and respect you so much. 😘😘😘

Home. Deeply fried. I must stare mindlessly for a while
I just had a dream about buying a new guitar.
Well, time to start saving lol
Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Do you know what model you bought?
Fender Bass VI
6 string “bass” that’s strung with higher strings and used as a guitar. Sounds mean as fuck in drop F or Drop G.
It’s 800 so it isn’t a million bucks lol
I’ve got some gigs coming up with the new band so would be nice to have this.
Baritone guitars are very nice and a good bit of fun. At first I thought it was odd they weren’t more embraced by the metal community, but I guess that’s because they just went straight to seven strings.
Exactly right.
Personally I prefer to stay in 6 strings so I don’t have to completely change my picking technique after 20 odd years.
The Bass VI sounds amazing from what I’ve heaed but will Defs be taking the helix with me to test it out.
Follow your dreams.

So this is technically a bass, but it’s being used currently all over the place as a guitar with lighter gauge strings. Because of the build, it’s pretty much perfect for heavy, down tuned music!
This place doesn’t have one, but I reckon I can find one by next week
deleted by creator
Thanks mate. It’s been a hell of a ride the last few months.
I used to solely play Gibson SG’s but I grabbed an Epiphone LP and it’s incredible. Feels so different. The weight distribution is better as well.
Do you still play?
deleted by creator
You’re absolutely doing the right thing. I was musical from a young age, but unfortunately that wasn’t really followed up on until I started singing and playing when I was 15. I think just having the stuff around would absolutely bring out that curiosity. And kids love making noise right? lol
I was doing an annoying dance at Melbcat and I definitely think her vision is improving. Confusion… her head and eyes tracking movements… disappointment in her eyes… yeah she can see me! And from metres away.
Actual melbcat footage when you started dancing:
spoiler
That drop goes hard
Nah there was a little bit of judgement there. Which makes me so sure that she could actually see me
Carefully packed by room type and labeled boxes have devolved into throwing random items into shopping bags. So many sneeze fucking dust bunnies!
that’s my life next week
May the packing faeries descend upon you
Thank you. I’ve done the sorting already so packing should be easy.
Did you find any cat stashes? I expect to find lots of my missing hair ties and sea shells Bill stole under the fridge and sofa
I have found several small plastic dinosaurs and many many cedar balls, but am still missing about half the ping pong eyeballs. Possible Stash locations rapidly narrowing.
Pretty bleah fieldwork out west with awful dust, and the woooorst traffic. I think I need to make sure I leave that part of town by 3pm so I’m not stuck tearing my hair out on the M1 (even paying a princely $7+ to go through the tunnel is aggravating)
I feel so mad. I’d treat myself to a pizza but I’ve already had a takeaway spinach roll for breakfast and a servo sanga for lunch. No more reckless spending, it’s pasta with broccoli, celery, peas and vegan chorizo for dinner tonight (easy to make!)
Dishwasher people have contacted some service agent who’s then supposed to get in touch with me in 2-3 days. I don’t know how long I’ll be without a dishwasher for. Still disproportionately frustrated about it.
Grateful at least for chilled coconut water to calm down with…
E: after a buttload of garlic, I am sated
I reckon toll roads should have an SLA where if it takes over a certain length of time due to traffic or incident, you get a refund.
I’m just glad I don’t live in Sydney where toll roads are almost essential/unavoidable now unless you have an extra hour to spare.
Crawling round my engine bay, looks like I fixed the oil leaks like a god dam baller. I mean I tightened the three nuts with oil leaking around them - two in the rocker cover and one in the timing chain cover. But nonetheless oil leak stopped.
deleted by creator
On my 40yo diesel Toyota the timing cover is right there. It’s so accessible. Fortunately it was done at 215k and I’m only now at 260k.
i know this sounds weird but I like fixing cars
Tax time. Cheating since the doggie isn’t mine. Just outside my work.

There were lots of pats and scratches involved but no woofing.
