Didn’t get the role I went for sadly.
Am drowning with work atm. Asking manager for more money tomorrow.
I’m sorry man. You got the skills to get another though, and I hope you get the raise you obviously deserve! :)
Thanks Spud ❤️
dang, was this in the same company or a different location?
Different place
has it gotten that unsustainable at the current joint? Damn! hopefully the outgoing boss might find need for you in a new role.
Everybody is leaving. We’re going to be absolutely fucked as soon as we come back from Xmas break.
We are in serious trouble when those people finish up.
It’s gonna get ugly.
Oof that’s the worst when you’re on a sinking ship. That sucks so much, after you had such a hard go between jobs and were so glad to land this one. How soon things change. I hope you manage to find more lifelines, it’s great that you’re able to think forward and do what’s required rather than panic and freak out until it’s too late (which is probably what I would’ve done lol)
It’s disappointing because the owner, director and my manager are awesome.
But with everyone leaving the whole dynamic changes. My client interactions will turn hostile once I can’t deliver what they need :(
have you sat down with them and asked what their plans are for such situations?
Oh bugger, I’m sorry to hear that :(
All good mate. Just gonna keep applying!
Bummer. Did they give feedback?
Nah just the usual diatribe
That sucks. I hope something comes through soon so you can finish up before the new year like everyone else
Fingers crossed man. I’ve made a tonne of applications.

I heard back today the university job I interviewed for want to move on to references. This is the interview where I had all the technical problems, and they still want to progress.
The salary sacrificed ebike dream is becoming more of a reality
The nip strikes again
Goodnight all ❤️
Space tile floor kitty we’ve all been there.
Not with my eyes wide open like that.
Tiles are nice and cool
I has a friend:
Awww. Good sign of a helthy garden.

I like to lighten the scene up with my unimportant natter. Balance and all.
I also think it’s most beneficial to get things out in the open even to strangers on here. Mental health and physical health are so important.
unimportant natter
Gnats are important too.
💜
Ps. Someone doesn’t like my natter. 🤷♀️
I don’t always reply, but I love your natter!

I can relate. Sometimes other people’s issues makes me feel like mine aren’t really all that bad. (Jeebus, my typos recently.)
hugs
it kinda makes it feel normal , feel human
and that we are able to cope by way of being human

I think it’s ok too, even if just to realise that we all have things to deal with.
I know this comment may make history as the most downvoted ever, not just in this thread but the whole of Lemmy, and could possibly result in my expulsion from this community and even the internet as a whole, but…
I actually don’t mind this weather.
There. I said it.
Have at me, beaches.
Look, it’s fine, but I’m going into a job interview soon and my hair is a frizzy mess. It’s not projecting the most professional image. But oh well, I can’t fix it.
Good luck!
Thanks!
Best of luck for the interview! You’ll smash it! :)
Thanks!
Good luck 💜
Thanks! I think it was ok, despite the hair 🙂
My garden is loving this weather. I have put all my indoor plants outside to enjoy it too. Hope they don’t drown in the promised thunderstorms though.
Hehe I downvoted you for shits and gigs. First ever downvote which is exciting.
But honestly I love this weather too and the garden also.
E: undid it felt bad :(
HAHA go for it, I feel honoured!!! :D
E: Awwww. Let’s just call it a downvote in spirit. So funny.
Same, I like this weather as long as it is for just a few days.
This is infinitely preferable to the winter equivalent where it is equally grey and nearly as humid but 12C.
I don’t mind a few days like this. Just as long as it doesn’t go above 25C with this humidity

it’s awful, it’s like London on a horrible day, I think I prefer warm humidity to this,

I am not an ogre and so I would prefer not to live in a swamp please.
🤔 I’ve been looking at houses in Williamstown and swamp is exactly what came to mind
there are huge flood plains around there
Well damn. Roofer is coming tomorrow but I can’t be home so have to let the LL in handle it.
Burnt all my days that I can take off for the year and wasn’t prepared to take leave without pay.
Less than ideal situation but got to do it.

At work and can’t do a longer comment, but just wanted to send all the hugs and healing thoughts 💛
so many hugs

Today was a pretty cruisy day. We had to go get new wheels, and then decided to head to the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide. It was alright, but last year they stopped allowing people to enter the locomotives and carriages because apparently people were stealing shit and vandalizing everything. I get their decision, but that kind of took about 80% of the gun out. It was basically just walking alongside old locos with a bunch of barriers besides them with the occasional plaque about the history of it. Also wasn’t really national, state at best
They also had a little miniature railway. It was rideable, but a little freaky. It’s intended to young’n’s, and while age wise, I qualify as a I youn’n (or so I’m told), I absolutely do not have either the height nor stature of a young’n. Damn thing almost tipped over when I got in 😂
Then we went to Okami for all you can eat Japanese food. I love Okami (hence why I’m probably capable of tipping miniature railways over), and came back for what was meant to be an early night but is rapidly becoming a late one (due for another 4am start tomorrow. Not sure why I do this to myself tbh)
Also got some cute postcards I’m gonna write up and post out tomorrow
Okami and Trains - now that is a good day.

We burst our tyre at approximately -38.141239, 142.221047, so going along our route did at least 650km on the space saver
(Plus ten mins drive today to get to the junkyard)

Norrie!
Can get such a good deal on two pairs of glasses at Specsavers right now, including a pair of polarised prescription sunglasses, but their range is either tack and el cheapo, or obscenely priced for what it is. I’m thinking my gorgeous features deserve better?
I’ve found really good service at opsm , they even changed lenses on old glasses for me
I 2nd OPSM. Specsavers frames are crappy.
Positive team building post. 🙂
So what is the first song you remember? Mine is The Beatles, Twist and Shout. I must have been about two and a half, maybe younger. I remember the joy of it.
Can’t forget Puff The Magic Dragon by Peter Paul & Mary as a first sing along at primary school.
Oh that was close to being there first full song I could play on piano
For some reason they played time warp at my kindy before nap time. I used to dread the end of the song… everyone falls down and stops dead
Now it’s one of my favorites, because I have the context of Rocky Horror and adulthood.
I’m convinced that the kindy was run by people who wanted to torment small children.
Für Elise or the Blue Danube I think, they were in a kid’s fairytale audiobook CD (not tape!) that got very heavy rotation. The Blue Danube used to come at the middle/intermission of a story that always gave me very ominous, anxious feelings and to this day I can’t think of it as a magnificent, stately song reminiscent of a big flowing river, just a sense that the baddies are around the corner. I think we had some tapes of The Carpenters (Top of the World was definitely pre-primary).
I don’t remember anything earlier aside from your usual kids clapping songs etc.
Summer Holiday by Cliff Richard
He was such a huge star in the 60s and 70s 🙂
I loved him and followed him into the 80s.
Mull of Kintyre - Paul McCartney
U2 - I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
One thing I’m very grateful for with my upbringing is that there was a lot of music - the Beatles, Beach Boys, U2, Meatloaf, The Seekers. We’d go on family drives (to other country towns for their pokie joints), but the drive was always great with the music playing.

Something by Harry Belafonte or Nana Mouskouri. Now that I’ve googled Harry’s songs, I’m amazed how many I know, lol.
I used to watch the Nana Mouskouri show every week. She was such a huge tv star, had such a lovely voice and nice personality.
Michael Jackson - Thriller
The Play School theme I reckon. I had a Play School record, the only record I ever owned.
I feel like it was Michael Jackson Bad or maybe The Bangles. I feel like I didn’t hear lyrics in songs until almost my 30s. Probably part of why I liked psytrance.
Deodato’s jazz/funk rendition of “Also Sprach Zarathustra” from Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey
It’s a nice groove from 1973. Not in the least bit part of any historical importance or music chart but, it’s the earliest I can remember.
omg, I remember this
Do you? Far out.
🙂
Regrettably un positive. Rolf Harris.
Two little boys …
Six White Boomers
Can’t remember the very first - our house had a lot of music but most of it we made ourselves cos we all could play and us kids were all in the church choir. Maybe Cleo Laine in Porgy & Bess? Mum had the record and played it a lot. Didn’t discover ‘pop’ music until my early teens - The Beatles made a huge impression as did Herman’s Hermits.
Mrs Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter in that voice. Every single time
Singing my song. Literally.
Lol
Hmmmm probably Surfing USA - the beach boys. Or The Ventures - Walk don’t run
I managed to snag one of those white Steam Decks as a graduation present for my girlfriend. They’re a nice little unit, Valve really made sure to give them that premium feel like an Apple product
How do you type on them? I’ve always wondered that, since if I invested in one it would be to play FFXIV and I’d want a way to chat. Always assumed it was a touch screen thing, and have no idea how well that would work for it.
Yes, it would be a pop-up touch screen keyboard and the track pads work very well as a mouse too.
I would just check compatibility with the Steam Deck if you want to play a game like FFXIV. It’s OS is Linux so some online games don’t like it because of the anti-cheat they use.
Nice little funderstorm rapidly approaching from the north.
How long before it hits?
That one has fizzled out - another coming and I can hear the funder.
