    Sometimes I ask myself why I write stupid poetry because it sounds lame and stupid, and then I read the lyrics to some popular songs and realise my writing is perfectly fine.

    I fucked it up. There were 4 of them in the interview. COO, CEO, general manager and HR person.

    I stumbled heaps. I’m annoyed at myself but it is what it is. I’ll find something eventually.

      There’s every chance that you didn’t do as badly as you thought but I won’t jump to conclusions. Either way, you’ll find something, you’ve found so many jobs in the past and made HUGE strides in your life that others wouldn’t be able to grasp. Nobody can take that away from ya

        That’s really, really kind of you. It cheered me up 🙂 I forget sometimes about how I used to live and what life is like now.

        Thank you ❤️

    Fun Centrelink discovery: Disability Employment Services providers have limits on what compulsory activities they can put on your job plan, so they might put the meetings as voluntary. The issue? The meetings are always mandatory according to Centrelink. The job plan doesn’t actually matter and even if you do what they say you have to do, they can then have you cut off. Great system love it.

    In better news: I’m no longer required to interact with them, and instead need to continue seeking volunteer work. Vastly less bad.

      Not to mention when you show up and they tell you your provider is on leave/in a meeting/at another site today.

        That’s only happened to me once. Showed up, waiting twenty minutes, no one even told me until an hour later when they called to say he was out sick.

        He is almost always late though.

    Told the wife “you know, I think they’re lying to you” “who?” “Square enix. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the FINAL fantasy, I bet there will be another one!”. I can’t say how satisfying the groan and look on her face was.

    Feeling a bit down about work today. It’s the end of a very stressful week and I hate that every question I’ve been asked this morning I’ve had to do a “gimmie a minute to find the answer” instead of knowing off the top of my head.

    Okay, typing it out makes it sound silly, but it’s just a crappy feeling. I have too much responsibility, anxiety and a heaving dose of imposter syndrome this week.

      Gimme a minute to find the answer. No. I’ll get back to you is the correct response.

      Alright, i’m gonna say what you know but might need to hear: Nup. If they trust you enough to give you all the responsibility they wouldn’t do it if you were an idiot or not up to the task. Companies are dumb, but they wont expose themselves to THAT level or risk.

      Deep breath, take a moment, get a coffee or a tea, spend 30 seconds in some fresh air and sun shine and you’ll feel heaps better I promise.

          My kid gets into some of the franchises, and right now it’s Star Wars so $$$$. We keep all the instructions and over the years have accumulated a giant bag and a few organisers of bits. Free play is great fun, put the bag on the table and we’ll waste a day building all sorts of stuff. We have sone of his favourites on display but change them up often.

            When I was a kid I got no new lego, just a giant denim bag with all sorts of pieces inherited from brothers and various cousins 8-12 years older than me. A good chunk of the instructions were gone too. So in those pre-internet days I just happily built whatever I wanted and figured the very basics of random parts from some meccano set to make a basic steerable car and some kind of winding contraption.

              We’ve built some awesome vehicles from the big bag of bits. Mine always lose in the races though.

          Sooo addictive. You might be interested to know that Jecka (similar principle but built differently) have a Jack Russell model or two. Yes, I’ve been sucked in but I haven’t built it yet!

              I’m sure once you got the hang of the connector bits you’d be able to make them sticky up.

      There should be a Lego library where you can borrow a set, build it, then return it. They’d sanitise it between builds. There’d be a fee if you return it without deconstructing it.

      I say this because I like putting them together but I don’t want to display ugly Lego on my shelves. I’m not leaning that hard into the 40+ year old single male stereotype and I just think they look bad in general.

        That’s a good idea.

        I ain’t gonna display them. It’s not even the real lego. I just like pulling shit apart and putting it back together so Lego kind of scratches that itch.

      • @Eagle

        Pull it apart. Keep the instructions but use the bits for free play.

        Loaning kits of anything involves counting all the pieces when they come back. Very expensive in staff time.
