Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
stuck my nose briefly into work email to delete all the automated system alerts 'cos unless they’re alerting on Monday it’s not my fucking problem and a slew of emails in there of boss throwing client shit to me despite knowing I’m on holiday, complete with ranting customers about lack of response. This was also after he txtd me about a client site while not only on holiday, but literally on the way to a funeral.
Boss is in for a nasty shock when I straight up tell clients “yeah he shouldn’t have thrown that to me, I was on leave and he already has access to that information so I don’t know what the fuck he was thinking”. He’s in for an even nastier one when I charge him for that text I sent back telling him to fuck off at overtime rates, minimum one hour.
get em!
Indian food is on its way, cat is fed and brushed, my latest song is loaded in the studio ready for new parts and video game is picked out for later tonight.
Bliss.
Day 9 of my exercises completed. I actually did them this morning but haven’t had a chance to post about it until now. Normally I’d drop the kids off at school and write it on the bus on the way to work, but this morning I had the music bug and just wanted to flood my brain with loud hard rock music before I got there.
Still not drinking. I’m enjoying being a boring old fart and coming home after listening to heavy metal on the bus and having a cup of tea. However, today’s a special day… it’s “Fat Arse Friday” in my house, a recent tradition where we get door dash and eat brownies and ice-cream and naughty stuff on Friday when I come home. It’s our cheat/treat day and we look forward to it! So I’m off to have some Streets Blue Ribbon Vanilla icecream with salted chocolate caramel brownie, probably followed at some point by 🍔 & 🍟. Happy Friday evening everyone!

I don’t know what’s going to happen to the world or me when I get older, but I’m going to do as many drugs as I can on my way out ✌️🤘
I used to have a problem with substances. But if I get to the stage where I can’t look after myself, give me a bottle of morphine and some good headphones to go out with.
I hope I have sufficient enough health to die one day, too.
A photo from the walk to the tram stop ❤️
Was at the shops and overheard a discussion in which a lady kept pronouncing tempura as temp-YOU-ra. With the emphasis on the middle syllable.
Almost ruined my day
Well I’ve had just a bad start to the weekend start to the weekend.
My hot water system has now has a massive leak and I was forced to turn it off so as of now I have no hot water or access to it.
What a disaster :(
TGIF.
Just had to give some ‘constructive feedback’ to a team member about their recent performance and what they need to do to improve.
It had to be formal and diplomatic, not exactly my favourite approach but so be it.
Our internal policy is very much tailored in a way as to never come off negative and always show support.
It’s very difficult when dealing with an absolute moron.
So how did you phrase it?
You’ve shown positive improvement in a few areas but are still below the expected overall level. We will continue to monitor your performance and provide feedback over the next while. We do encourage you sign up for training sessions and courses that can improve your skills.
My version would have been ‘Shape up or fuck off’ but that’s acceptable apparently.
Aren’t you government? I thought it’d take actually murdering someone in the building to get fired.
Accepting bribes is a good way to get fired too. Sadly, this person is too dumb to do any of that, so we’re stuck with them.
I’m considering a polite bullying strategy that makes them miserable so they leave, but don’t have the heart to do that.
I’ve been there. I feel your pain. Especially when the people in question don’t hesitate to speak bluntly/inappropriately… gotta be the adult and not just tell them how it is.
This person is not blunt, just useless…so maybe like a blunt sword.
I’m secretly drinking a beer out of a mug right now to deal with the rest of the day.
Starting early today as the weather demands. Cheers fellow zoo animals. 🍺🐒🦍🦓🦁🦏🐘🐨🐼🦚🦋🦒🦘
Right there witchu 🔥🍻🔥🚒
I was sitting on the first one for an hour or more because my kid was droning on about school and vce and Atar scores and university and subjects. The perfect time to drink really but instead I was politely nodding at all right moments.
That actually sounds interesting to me…?
MissGod and I were just playing guess the movie by listening to soundtracks.
Ooo. Quizes. We play that but with tv shows.
Ooh that’s a good idea as well.
There’s heaps on YouTube. They give you about 30 seconds to answer each one.
I think we done all those (the movie ones at least). Honestly, I would be lost on the tv show quizzes. I do not watch many shows.
this sounds like a fun game 😀
It’s really fun! I stumped her on Lynch’s Lost Highway
dammit, that would get me too 😂
Cheers! Goon cup at the ready!
Cheers buddy 🍺. What’s on the midnight menu tonight?
Tonight is super hawt beef shashliks.
Ooo noice. Enjoy
I wanna magically appear at Melb Zoo now. With my kiddo. Love the zoo.
But I have Auskick tonight instead. Meh…
Kids love it when we watch them play sport. Besides auskick is like going to the zoo anyway.

It sounds a bit like I’ve got waves crashing up against the house.
I want a cigarette so fucking bad holy fucking shit fuck
Edit: this is gonna kill me
Hello migraine my old friend…
Dear whom it may concern. I’m having trouble with seeing replies. You see when it reaches 300 comments (which I make several on a Friday night 🤷♀️) replies collapse and when I click on the arrow the spinny thing spins its heart out but nothing happens. I am told it’s a server problem on your end. I have the latest Chrome so I know it’s not me. Please fix it.
