    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.

    !earlychildhood@quokk.au

      That’s so cool you’ve started a new community. You should make a post from !earlychildhood@quokk.au 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 !melbourne@aussie.zone. 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 @Nath@aussie.zone 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.

            !melbourne@lemmy.world exists, for example - but it won’t show up on local communities, because it lives on lemmy.world.

      Subscribed. My girlfriend is studying to become an ECT and we have almost a year and a half old twins at home

    I’m putting a bunch of stuff on a stick and burning it then going for a swim.

    This is the most profound thing I’m doing today.

    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

    Why is my neighbor out using his leaf blower on a day like this? He’s losing the fight.

        HA nothing helps me vent like firing up the 2-stroke hedge trimmer and going to town on the front yard.

        And THIS IS NOT A EUPHEMISM you perverts 🤣

        I feel like it would just make me angrier, it’s so windy so there’s no satisfying clean yard and pile of leaves at the end 😂

    Its bin day in my estate and not a single one is left standing. Fortunately they were already emptied.

      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

    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.)

    Interesting. I went into my bathroom and smelt smoke, so I opened up the front door and there’s quite a smokey smell. Nothing on VicEmergency, and I’m not sure who’s got a fire on at the end of a 30° day while it’s still in the 20s

    Edit: well I got paranoid so I went for a walk and made sure nothing’s on fire. Am I just smelling the bushfire out near Beaufort? I actually didn’t know that was still going tbh, but I haven’t actually smelt it before
