Thank you Seagoon! 🙌🏼💜🙌🏼
So here’s the gossip.
One of the remaining 3 (of which i am one) account managers resigned.
So his clients get divided up between me and the other one.
Yay.
can you decline?
Nope. Not with my probation 10 days away.
So what happens after your probation ends in 10 days?
What options do you have at that point?
I have a better position to negotiate as they can’t just fire me on the spot.
And now that I’m one of only 2 account managers it strengthens my bargaining position. This team should have 4 people. Not 2.
Ah ok. Will you stay or look for another place?
Seems like the place is being gutted at the moment.
I need to stay long enough to move house. It’s near impossible to be approved for a rental whilst on probation.
Please tell me they are at least openly looking for another?! You’re already stretched so thin!
Who knows. I only found out because my co worker told me. Nothing from management about it.
Of course not! Just keep breathing, probation is nearly up!
I found emails from a director here to customers advising that someone had left the business 2 hours before it was announced to staff.
This happened in December and they haven’t said anything to us. Which is pretty bad…
That’s so shit!
Loving this music from the movie, Knight of Cups. Exodus, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qYBw2zf0Kg
it’s a 4 hobbit movie, so beautiful,
I’m not sure what it’s about, seems to be someone drifting through place, time, experience, people and emotions . The only time he spoke of his life was when he spoke of the experience of a loving relationship.
lovely day here, think I might go to bunnings and get some orchid mix :)
I have stuff to do but I might take a break for a few days
Could you grab me a roll of fallopian tubing and a metric adjustable spanner?
Goodnight everybody . Sweet dreams 😘
Ripped my boardies riding back from the beach last night. The bum seam from sitting on the seat. They’re very old. So with a bit of poor sewing, some stitchofix fabric adhesive stuff and some duct tape (lol) we’re going to see if it holds tonight. Should probably bin them but i just want to see if it works.
Just so long as the duct tape doesn’t go awry and get stuck to your nethers…
Wasn’t that the jock’s backstory in Breakfast Club?
“Worst wax job ever, 0/10 recommend”
people standing on the beach “My, there’s a lovely moon out!”
When his cheeks hit your eye
From board shorts gone awry
That’s a moon, ey?🌝🙌🏼
Still so humid 🥵

IT People: not really big on small-talk. 😀
Ha! I don’t work in IT and I need one of those 😂
Love it!!!
First day on the new job was uneventful and went pretty much as expected. A bunch of long meetings, didn’t get a laptop until 2, and then couldn’t login anyway. So I really just hung out in the office for 8 hours.
I could see this job being alright as long as the day to day doesn’t suck. I have a feeling it may be alright but I’ll just have to give it more time
on train
one guy singing what sounds like a prayer softly to himself
one woman on the phone in English but switches to demon beast growling occasionallyYou could have said Hello. I’d have stopped growling then.
I was trying to learn demonic speech.
Lessons could potentially be made available. Some sacrifices may be necessary.
Maybe there are no words in English to express what she needs to say. Or there’s a demon beast on the other end…
First day of the new job. I’m going to approach it with zero expectations.
One of the first things I’m going to do is login to everything on the work pc. Even if I’m just browsing aussie.zone, manager logic is I’m being productive if I’m on the computer, you’re only slacking off on your phone
Keep in mind that many IT departments can see everything you do on your computer. Your saved passwords will be stored in the Directory server.
I used to use Firefox for any personal stuff I was doing on my computer and I would use Edge and Chrome for work-related. (Firefox was also faster because it wasn’t being bogged down with AI bullshit).
Our IT department remotely uninstalled Firefox.
I always keep that in mind with work computers. Whilst they can see everything you do, I also figure they need to be looking to know. So whilst your traffic is all being tracked, you need to be doing something dodgy to grab their attention as well
Good luck! Hope they’re nice and not too obviously crazy.
If anything they seem normie on the boring side. Every workplace likes to think they’re a bit quirky and messed up but this is standard from what I’ve seen
Hope it goes well!
It just feels a bit weird to get my head around this could be long term. Having just come out of a contract I keep approaching jobs like they’re a temporary thing
Good luck mate!
My initial impression is I could see myself working here long term as long as the day to day doesn’t suck. And it may not be too bad
Welcome back to the Office. Change your password this instant! 15 attempts to think of something suitable later…
thank gates/jobs for a fingerprint login.
The staff at the place I was at a few moves ago had a fingerprint sensor to clock on. It was about a decade old, and by the time I moved out, was really really struggling to scan anybody’s fingerprints. Lucky for them, it didn’t do auto lockouts, but the bright sparks also had the bright idea to remove the option to clock on with a number after a couple of years of being fingerprint only. Which was fine until it cracked the shits
Also, don’t want to think about how many filthy fingers went in there 🤢
Try using a short sentence that includes punctuation…eg. That 1 toy is mine! … As long as you tick the boxes for required characters is should work…
We had a few people pull out of their booked windows 11 upgrade appointments. Told my team we should still push it as an update anyway and when they complain shrug and say “sorry, pulling out isnt always effective”.
Hahaha do it.

Alright, doctor booked for this stupid migraine thing. Gonna get the physio to take a look as well.
Mine came from a shoulder injury.
thats just it, no new injury or anything like that I’m aware of. So I figured getting assessed isnt a bad idea.
Getting assessed it a great idea! In my early 20s I had months of chronic exploding head migraines, auras, blindness, vomiting from pain. Had an MRI and CT scan with nothing there. Dr gave me a big fat script for codeine - I understand why people get addicted to it, let’s put it that way.
Determined it was stress induced from living with my unmedicated schizophrenic mum 😂 haven’t had them like that since I moved out and went NC. There so many factors that can cause migraines, so getting checked out is always a fantastic idea!
Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious!! 💜💜
Good plan. I’ve had MRIs, CTs, a lumbar puncture and all sorts of fun. And regular eye tests are worthwhile- apparently weird eye pressure can manifest in interesting ways.
They’ve never found anything useful on all my tests but it’s always good to know it’s ‘just’ migraine and not a brain tumor or something exciting like that. And there are better migraine drugs coming out now.
That’s definitely a good idea mate. Also I would press for an MRI as well. For peace of mind.
