    Starting my new job tomorrow!

    But they still haven’t informed me of when exactly I’m meant to start my shit. Will have to call in and chase that up after lunch me thinks.

    Oh and I started my own community for anyone interested, learning about, or working in early childhood.

      That’s so cool you’ve started a new community. You should make a post from [email protected] explaining what it’s about (I know pretty self explaining really but you know) and it’ll land on the homepage. If it’s just Melbourne based then post it in [email protected]. It’ll still end up on the home page.

      Good luck with your new job tomorrow!

      Something’s not quite right because your community is not showing up in the list of Aussie.zone communities. I’m an idiot when it comes to tech but maybe @[email protected] can sort it out because he’s a champion at this.

          I think you are correct but I didn’t know how to put it into those words. If that’s the case then disregard everything I said.

        The community is showing up fine for me. There may have been a little bit of a delay if this is the first time aussie.zone users have looked at Quokk.au communities. First-time federation can take a couple of minutes.

        Anyway, it’s fine, now. I didn’t do anything.

          Oh ok. It’s not showing up on the list of local communities for me. I don’t know enough about this kind of stuff though.

            Ahh - now I see what you mean. It isn’t showing up in local communities because it isn’t a local community. That interpretation of “local” means “local to aussie.zone”, not local to Australia. As the community lives on Quokk.au, it isn’t local as far as Lemmy is concerned.

            [email protected] exists, for example - but it won’t show up on local communities, because it lives on lemmy.world.

    Back from my first day and oh my god I’m SO tired making an 8am start. Despite hitting the snooze button several times and leaving considerably later than I thought. And everyone else starts at 7 😵‍💫 with plenty of people having longer commutes than me. I’ll get used to it.

    I was a bit too out of it today take in everything with it all happening so fast, but it was a good first day. Being at a depot does mean it’s still very testosterone heavy but not my immediate manager which makes a huge difference. My team is really friendly and welcoming and open with each other which is awesome.

    I am super glad this is just part time though, I so wouldn’t have the energy for full time hours in such a high contact role. And I’d feel suffocated for sure, no matter how good the workplace was

    E: also, hectic wind and humidity out there but… where’s the rain??? 😭 I think that’s adding to the lethargy

          there was a Muppet out with his 2 stroke blower yesterday drying his stupid F off sized ranger at 7pm last night. Just rolled my eyes, of course he owned a yank tank.

    Post art on different platform, nobody’s really that interested. Plus it’d just get scraped by AI. :(

    (I know I should be making it for myself but when you’re depressed and everything’s difficult it’s nice to get a little extra motivation or a bit of a boost from others’ enjoyment.)

    Glad I watered all the plants last night. Got 40 seconds of rain today.

    Which means ongoing watering, so back to the watering routine

      Is your dog a mouse hunter? Mine is not, she makes friends with them and even shares her food. When I explain the purpose of the JRT breed to her she wags her tail and gives me a head tilt.

        My old dog used to chase them and catch them outside but if they ever came in she would watch them and look at us as if to say ‘this one is your problem’

      I found squished kraft processed cheese with bacon bits to be irresistible to mice. Check the traps everyday. I once caught dozens of the buggers in my neighbour’s aviary with this method

        Not my jurisdiction. What I can tell you is the traps get washed with soap and loaded up with their own peanut butter. They get checked every day but not by me.

        How would you counteract that combo being irresistible to certain humans?
