Escaped down the beach for the w/e.
Brought the 2nd BCF2000 down. Plan is to get a ghetto mixing thing going with the maschine in the middle on send / plugin / transport control duties. But! set it in a big chunk of sandstone or red gum sleepers (or both maybe sandstone sides?) that's lying around that I'll angle grind. Probably pointless / impractical but would maybe look nice with a beach theme. If it flops Gibson can have the second BCF lol (if it works haven't tried it in a while).
That's the vision:
Cheers everyone!
That sounds cool.

I got ambushed this morning. Been ages since they tried to accost me.
I was 10 mins late.
All those tails up in the air!

How dare
You gotta watch out for those street gangs. You don't want to get behind on your protection money or there'll be trouble.
Boozy lunch at Daphne.
Recommend!
Absolute nightmare situation trying to leave work today. I was stuck there waiting for my manager to approve something to go out over the weekend. Thought everything was good and even got out into the carpark before being called back in because he couldn't find a version. Then back inside to cancel the send, find a past version, to just reschedule the same thing that i did before leaving.
Of course you only have days like this when you have plans on after work
brisk early morn awakening to a cat emergency, lil' shit is now wandering the house bitching at us. I care not, I straight up bailed on work and told them so.

I got back upstairs from my work lunchbreak about a minute before the lift broke. Must have had the last good run!
placement reflections
Classes went very shit today. I am sad. I could see a student look at me dejectedly and with terror because of the utter chaos. Chemicals and pre-pubescent boys don't mix well. I almost had a shut-down which carried into my next class. Lack of sleep, loud noise and no food don't mix well. A lot of it was a me issue which I am reflecting on how to do better.
Part of me wants to just give up but a small voice is telling me that I need to do better and is up for the challenge. I'm just going to finish this course and see how I go. Teaching is challenging and will help me learn to use my words better.
I think I would prefer something one to one. Or ditch the people aspect altogether and do something in an office. They get paid more sometimes and don't have kids refusing to do work even if you sit with them and try to help.
Hey, I loath teaching in a group sense. One or two at a time is a totally different thing. It's more of a conversation, so much more adaptable, and none of that being stared at bullshit.
I agree :)
I hope I don't come across as callous or anything here, it's not my intention. That said, you are still very new in the role. I would encourage you to keep turning up, being present, and doing your best. Don't try to judge it or make long term career decisions yet. You have a lot of growing pain and adjustment to come over the next several months before I would even say you can tell how you like your job. Breathe, do your best - it's all you can do and I'm sure you're doing just fine regardless how you feel. Give it more time and patience, and give yourself more kindness, before making any big decisions
Thank you!!!!
so many hugs
classrooms are not democracies, you are there to impose order, are there to teach, start classes by telling the students what they are going to learn that day . Certainty is very helpful to young minds. Look at what the teachers who have order do.
and yes, look after yourself, be the best prepared you , show no weakness!!
Listen to your confident voice. You can do this
Cheers, I will
Wow. Kfc managed to do what the 2 coffees couldn't. I feel there maybe more. I'm impressed.
Chilly night. Hope everyone is cosy and warm.
spent the past few days doing the bare minimum housework and resting on my butt watching movies and videos
feel so guilty about it but I have been pretty sick and tired too
On my own for the Food & Wine show today, Boyo couldn't get off work and my bestie has bailed. I don't mind (too much).
New sign on the tram this morning, half price travel from 1 June to 1 jan 2027. Not quite free but I'll take it

It's about my favourite day of the year - the Friday of the Good Food & Wine Show!!
I managed to score some extra tickets, so if you are bored and want to try a lotta cheese and wine, hit me up! Empahsis on the wine and vodka and tequila and whatever the fuck chocolate-in-wine is.
Ohh. You must report on the WTF! And try Pie Thief if you've not before. Miss that shop so much.
