I’m going to wait 2 weeks before approaching my manager again about the outcome of the raise discussions.
Have kept applying and have a couple more interviews next week.
Will have to be working outside office hours anyway, and the raise would make it worthwhile, but we’ll see.
Fingers crossed.
Lets hope you get a raise to make it worth it or a job that’s just better overall
Fingers crossed. What i asked for would make it worth it.
Will it be worth it if you got the raise?
From the impression I got it felt like they were overloading you with clients and work.
There’s got to be a point where you have to tell them that you’ve been given too much work or too many clients to deal with?
Honestly, I don’t know. The raise would be life changing. I could actually buy a house a lot sooner.
I am overloaded. And I will need to work outside office hours. But everything has a cost. Depends what we want to sacrifice to achieve our goals.
In the least, it will give me an incredible ability to handle large amounts of work which I can take with me to another place.
Life has so many tough decisions.
little wins
Diet is slowly working. habits are changing. I have to take in some pants that are just too big now.
Getting rid of some “old lady” clothes too and soon will be buying some better more tailored and younger stuff. yay 😊
Love this for you.
I’ve been so bored with fashion lately, I am considering sewing a few of my own things this year.

I think know what I’m going to use those virtual desktops, or remote spaces for. I’ve got a couple of projects at work on the go already now, so instead of having a bunch of tabs open across two screens I can separate them out to their own desktops and have everything I need for them there.
That way I won’t get lost amongst all the tabs and I can keep focused on one specific task at a time. Let’s see if it works
I’m feeling a bit better today so I’ve decided to go in. If that turns out to be a mistake I can always go home again
It’s good you have that flexibility man.
I feel like it needs to come with the expectation people work from the office now. If you want me to come in, you should let me leave as well so I don’t make the rest of the office sick
Thats what I’m going to miss about my old manager. She demanded you not come to the office if you weren’t feeling well. Was super understanding about it.
good deed done for the day. Someone on reddit wanted a postcard from aus so just got that done. Jesus my writing is appalling.
Are they a collector of postcards or something?
I think so. said they didnt have one from Aus.
I love this.
Postcards are awesome.
happy to send you one when I go away next if you want.
Thanks, Tiny. ☺️
Shit sleep gang yaaaaay
I’m going to the museum in a bit. I could do with a nice chill day
There is a blender full of underpants on my kitchen table
Perhaps Boyo ran out of clean jocks and was prepared to do a turbo wash before realising that’s not such a good idea.
We do have a house rule : don’t blend spoons
This seems wise.
The reason for it is very sharp now so designated cat food only
okay. Interest is piqued.
Tell us more. 😊🍿
Other evidence suggests Boyo went on a packing spree after I left for work. Or maybe house elves broke into the catnip stash.
In non America/Baku news I’m drunk and have just completed day two in a row of after-work outings. This one was beers and burger, no complaints. Also my probation review went great, was told unless I majorly fuck up/change behaviours I’ll pass no worries. One more after-work outting to go tomorrow, actually looking forward to it.
Can’t sleep, don’t care. It’s cool and the wind sounds cheerful.
So PSA. If you want to use an IKEA gift card purchased online immediately, you can’t.
What a joke. 48h.
Edit: And ones bought in-store are 24h (as told to me by a staff member).
Anti scammer measure I’ll bet. So dimwits won’t buy gift cards to pay for their parking infringements issued by the Australian Federal Police.
Haha, it’d be funny since these are for IKEA.
Also, the Australian Federal Police don’t issue parking infringements or other small issue crimes. That’s for the state based cops. You’d think the scammers would actually read the home page of the websites they are mimicking. To add credibility.
Recently I was told by JB hifi as well that I couldn’t use their gift cards to buy other types of online credit for gaming services.
Was told it was an anti scamming measure.
Real shame as well as I often end up with JB gift cards.
My son got a bunch of EB gift cards for a b-day a while back…couldn’t use them for PS or Steam cards.
I get it…but at the same time I don’t.
That’s strange. I’ve had no trouble using EB Gift cards for ps cards.
I did it last month on the website.
Really? Maybe the policy changed. This was back in 2023 I think and in store. Haven’t tried since.
I rang up one of the stores just to check as well and they said you can redeem gift cards for ps store.
Yep.
If you still have the gift cards you could probably do it now.
Website will only let you one one gift card per transaction but in store they’ll take multiple.
For anyone that maybe interested:
More Laneway Festival tickets are going on sale at 10am tomorrow. Link
Regardless of the music it’s a fun day out with lots of food and 🍻, it’s also on Valentines day!
Could’ve done a bit longer today but solid day out in fantastic weather. Definitely feeling the happy chemicals along with the mild soreness. Now time to salvage this shitty leftover gluggy jasmine rice and make fried rice with it. NEVER again am I falling for that nonsense with 1:1.5 ratios on the packet…
I is a 1:1.5 person :(
Maybe that works when on the stovetop but it was a mess in the rice cooker :(
I do 1:1.5 for basmati rice (sometimes 1:2 depending on variety)
I find with jasmine rice you need about 1cm or 1.5cm of water level over the rice to cook it nicely either on stovetop or rice cooker I think from memory.
Has been a very long since I’ve done jasmine rice but it used to be my go to rice variety.
I’ve made jasmine rice off and on and grew up with various rice types, I honestly know better but I trusted the packet over my instincts… Not next time!!
I feel like I owe the DT regs an explanation
I didn’t delete my account because of the argument. I was in the wrong, regardless of whether or not I used anything that could be considered a personal attack. I was being an arsehole to Seagoon, and StudChud responded in kind to me
However, I have recently been feeling like a couple of people within the DT have been consistently hostile to me. StudChud in particular has gone off on me numerous times. Sometimes I deserved it, other times I don’t think I did. Then 2 other people over the last couple of weeks have really really irritated me. There was one particular interaction I had with somebody that really rubbed me the wrong way, honestly probably irrationally so. I feel like I can usually do okay with shrugging off both outright aggression, and hostility in subtext/random downvotes. But I really just reached the end of my tether and it was beginning to remind me of when I was in resi and was the physical and verbal punching bag for 3 other people. I can’t stand that
Regarding purging all of my content, I genuinely am sorry to every single person who has contributed to DTs. I wanted to just delete my comments, but Lemmy only has two options when you want to delete your account: delete your account and every single post, comment, and image you’ve ever uploaded, or don’t delete anything (which I did last time). Lemmy also has a function which really irks me, where if a post is deleted, every single comment becomes inaccessible to non moderators and administrators. I think that’s ridiculous and tbh think it provides too much power to people that delete their accounts. I would much rather they became inaccessible without a direct link or going through your comment history, like how it works on reddit
Deleting everything wasn’t an attack on the community or a way to try and get attention. Genuinely. I also realize in hindsight sight that I made up a pretty substantial amount of posts on aussie.zone, and with all of those gone, it seems like half the instance is gone
And regarding coming back, I don’t think I ever can. Deleting one’s account, and particularly purging all the content on it, is probably the most extreme action you can possibly take as a user. If I just delete everything then reappear a week later, it doesn’t mean shit and really just seems like a bid for attention. I’m not going to do that. I’ll lurk around from another instance, and occasionally if I think I can be uniquely helpful to anybody, I’ll drop in and try to help if I can. But my days as a regular are numbered. Kind of a self exile, if you will. Even now I feel like I’m being even shittier by writing this, but I feel like I need to clarify what happened and actively apologize to everybody. I’m deleting my account as soon as this is posted
I also feel the need to say - I probably deserve moderator action, too. I don’t think a ban is appropriate since I’m not going to be around so it doesn’t really do much, but my comments towards Seagoon in particular were not acceptable, and I deserved to be called out. After I wrote our my long-winded 2c on recent events, I was already about 70% sure I wanted to delete my account. The magpie post was kind of an attempt to reconcile without accepting I was wrong or my opinion was invalid, not implying that anybody else’s was. After i got "bruh"d by StudChud, I made my decision I didn’t want to stay around, but at the same time, by creating yesterday’s DT, I feel like I more or less signed and agreement that I would ensure the DT remain accessible for at least the entire day. So that’s why I waited until midnight to delete my account. The last few comments I made were basically a case of “I’m done with the lot of you, anybody who talks to me can go to hell” type lash out. Again, unfounded and not fair
If anybody wants to access the DTs, you have a little while to view them from certain other instances. I believe how it works is posts and comments are purged from the server immediately, but the “notification” if you will, to other servers (who also host copies of all comments/posts) is rate limited and sent one by one. I don’t know that for fact though. You can access them through another instance (ie sh.itjust.works, as Brion linked) until the deletions eventually do federate over. I won’t be doing anything to speed up the process. I also was previously working on archiving all DTs on to web.archive.org, so have a look there. I didnt do the most recent ones before I left though
And I want to say that I really truly am sorry for all of the chaos, hurt, and drama that I caused. I should have handled things better. @[email protected] I don’t know if you received my DM or not, and I don’t know if DMs disappear on account deletions, but I am really sorry to you especially. I was being an arsehole and extremely inconsiderate. I do truly hope your family and friends in the state are doing okay, and make it through the term safe and aren’t denied healthcare or help if they need it
