I didn't go out. But I applied for 20 jobs tonight, and I'm having leftover carbonara and cheesy garlic bread. There's a place across the road that makes it, and they use chopped chicken schnitzel instead of bacon (they're Muslim iirc).

Hands down a fantastic place. The Hunger Den on Sydney Road.

I assume applying to 20 jobs online, filling out applications, I've done that it's basically a full time job. You have to fill out different job applications, because employers use different software or formatting for registration. Also tweaking your resume and contact info as well

Yeah, online. EthicalJobs, Seek, and Indeed. Mostly contact centre, but also some animal industry jobs.

Have to have a different cover letter for each one, and use two different resumes (one for contact centres, one for animal industry).

I'm tired, boss.

Alrighty.

Guitar and Helix are packed. Cables rolled and tied up. Extra picks in my wallet, spare strings and a winder in the guitar case.

Leaving here at 6pm. TBH I wanted to bail because Iโ€™m tired but I thought nah fuck it. Itโ€™ll be good just to hang out with some metalcore musos for an evening.

Me to client: This thing might happen if we go ahead like this

Client: OK, I understand

the thing happens

Me: The thing has happened

Client: You didn't tell me this might happen!

The satisfaction of forwarding the email proving I am right. Some people have very, very selective memory.

My husband's work is like this:

Sales rep: Can you do this right now?

Man: No. Send me an email

Sales rep: but it's really important. I need it done now.

Man: The quicker you send me that email the quicker I can get to it.

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My work is like.

Person: Where is everyone? You're meant to take over from us.

Us: But you're here 10 minutes early, we're not ready.

Person: But we're here.

Us: We told you what time to come.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My work is like

Caller: I've got this minor problem that's not really that important

Us: We have two trucks full of people and specialised equipment rushing to you now

Caller: Oh, I don't need anyone to come here, I just wanted some advice

Us: They are coming lights and sirens, they should be there any second

Caller: But I don't.... oh, they're here

I have two personal faves, both of which involve the same chain.

On one, they had an issue that caused a missed showing. Absolute screaming disaster. During post mortem they were in full CYA mode, and a manager sent a huge ranting email saying the issue was caused by X which was easily resolvable WHY DIDN'T WE SUGGEST THIS ThIS CoSt ThEm MoNeY and even rocked up to the office demanding the call recording for legal action.

First thing I said in the call was the solution he was ranting about. They didn't do it.

The other was actually I think the same dipshit ranting about limited support on a sunday past 5pm because he couldn't get through and -GASP- had to speak to our american fallover. "If you get a call that takes that long, then make then get a tech out!!"

thing is, I was unavailable because I was dealing with a huge issue for another one of their sites. And immediately after his sookypants rant, we got a huge glowing gushing thankyou from his boss thanking me for sticking with and resolving an issue rather than blowing it off to a service tech who woulda cost them about a thousand bucks just to show up.

Sometimes life is grand.

3AM magpies warbling away, couple of wattlebirds too.

It feels a bit magical, the dead of night in the inner city, no trams or trains, no cars. Just the cool, quiet air and warbling echoing up the alleyway.

Back down the beach.

Going back and forth and trying to time it according to what's happening w/ ol' girl, which I haven't really done before like this, has kicked up an unintended issue.

Tomorrow I'll wake up and have nfi where I am lol. It's only for a brief second..

Calls for a rave choon:

Hold up, where am I?

My aunt's house has the most delicious ... citrus tree (not sure what hybrid - tastes like a sweet lime, soft peelable orange skin, probably a Rangpur) and I'm having one of those suckers almost every day with hot water and honey and it's just ๐ŸคŒ straight up helth

I want to see Weapons so, so badly ๐Ÿ˜ญ gonna see it on Monday just have to avoid spoilers.

Edit: partners friends msgd and want to get a beer tonight. I'm sending partner (they're his old friends from Perth, they live here now since 2020), because I don't think alcohol is gonna be great for me right now.

Also, they're super successful (doctor and a gov official), and I'm too self-conscious/self-centred and don't feel like I have anything to talk about ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’€

[โ€“] bacon@aussie.zone 6 points 6 months ago

I have tix to Weapons for tomorrow ๐Ÿ™Œ

I will put a spoiler tag for you if I review it here!

I had to stop at Rockbank and gave in to temptation and ordered McDonalds. Waited 20 minutes to get my order. Apparently they don't know they are supposed to be fast food.

Cheers everyone. This is from last week but I thought you'd enjoy it. The red sour from La Sirene

If creaming soda was a beer

Melbcat knew what was up, she did her excited little tail quiver and quickly dug into the new food.

What a relief. A low phosphate food she finds palatable. Hopefully it slows her kidney disease and prolongs her life.

Sent in the footage to the copsโ€ฆ and that dude threw a cigarette butt down on my property (littering) before he stole from my groceries. Didnโ€™t even put it out first so Iโ€™m lucky it didnโ€™t start a fire.

What an entitled trashbag

Edit: Right after posting this the same dillhole walked past scoping my porch and then Melbcatโ€™s food got delivered just after he was gone. Lucky it happened in that order because if he stole her special food there might have been an incident.

I hope something bad happens to him. Cunt.

Late night last night and a bit annoyed at things so no bike in today. I think the handlebars are still a bit out of alignment from the fall, so I'll start on the bike again next week I swear

[โ€“] tone212_@aussie.zone 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

That friend group that only invites me sometimes to their get-togethers has yet again not invited me, this time to someoneโ€™s birthday dinner in the group. I think Iโ€™m in again and then Iโ€™m on the out. Maybe they donโ€™t like me, I donโ€™t know. I give up caring.

I just went to get ready for bed and was confused to see my pjs were not in their normal spot.

It was not until I had taken off my top and saw it in my hand that I realised this was because I was already wearing them.

A single capsule of that medication affected me for two days when I didnโ€™t even take another one. I was in great pain. Cripes

Apparently the Dinnerly meal kit box I thought I ordered for next week is actually for today. I guess my vague dinner plans for the next few days are no longer required.

Drove down to Flinders to get a hot chocolate from the Festival happening at the Chocolaterie. Ended up being way too crazy rich, but delicious all the same!

This week I have cut as much cheese, milk and butter from my diet as I can and I'm feeling a lot better. I expect more improvement as I remove more and more sources of dairy.

Got the souvlakis and ate them.

Wasnโ€™t too at all, I probably didnโ€™t need 2 of them but Iโ€™d definitely go back again since it within short walking distance instead of having to drive the car out down to oakleigh.
