That’s really nice.
Just had my probation terminated….
Because we were under resourced and they couldn’t accept it.
Fuck. I’m fucked.
Shit, dude. Am glad you’ve got that interview lined up!! Putting loads of good vibes towards that!
Thank you :) I’m looking forward to it.
Damn dude. Hope you nail the interview.
What?! That’s terrible, hopefully you find a new role quickly.
Cheers :)
Shit man, I’m sorry to hear that. Let me know if you need any help
Appreciate it man :)
Oh no. Mate I am so sorry.
It was a cost saving measure. They saved my salary and a new hire as well.
sending all the good luck for the next jobs
So sorry. Hope something new and better comes along quickly.
Thank you :) I’ll be pushing hard the next few weeks.
Shit.
Good luck with the interview 🤞
Much appreciated :)
Oh that sucks, I’m so sorry. Hope the next interview goes well
Thank you. I’m studying for it tomorrow.
Sorry to hear that mate, hopefully it’ll be a blessing in disguise. You deserve better 💪🏼
That’s really kind of you :) I don’t have a choice but to succeed due to no safety net so I guess that it makes it easier in a way?
Fuck. I’m sorry. Fingers crossed for the interview.
😭😭
Hope you find something soon. Did they give you any notice?
No they waited till lunchtime then told me.
That’s so fucked, I’m sorry :(
Random question but have you considered the VPS?
I’m looking into it. There’s a couple of roles that would work I think.
Had an interesting and awesome time celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday last week.
His watch tells him he has the fitness of a 20 year old and I can confirm that is true. Unfortunately the government doesn’t know that and has already sent a letter to say they’ll be sending out a poo kit.
Colon and bowel health is very important.
Especially in us, older gents.
It sure is!
eat lots of roughage 👍
My fibre intake is godly. Had camera inspections recently, came up all aces.
Thank you for sharing. 👍
And cucumbers. Not high in fibre but have a lot of other good nutrients in them to keep you regular.
I eat them nearly every day. Can’t resist the crunch.
Leftover birthday cheesecake for lunch at work. Hits the spot.
It’s so much nicer not having an account or the app for the other place anymore. Instead of doomscrolling, I’ve been doing the crosswords on the Guardian app instead.
A much more pleasant waking up experience
I still check out a few choice subs and comment. Much less than previously though.
Crosswords and other puzzles are great substitutes :)
I’m finding everywhere I hang out can have issues for me if I stay there too long exclusively… I have to have various places and spread myself out/rotate through them.
I wish I was more capable of doing healthier stuff than relying on the internet
Had a chat to some friends, got some recruiters details and have made a plan for how to proceed.
I’m safe for around 6 months and Im pretty sure I’ll be working well before then.
I’ll be honest. I don’t have a choice but to succeed. There is no safety net except some money. There is no home that I can live in rent free and bill free while I get back on my feet.
Which is why I can never really give up.
I guess it works out in a way.
That really sucks what’s happened.
I know this doesn’t help but being told you’ve been the best manager for that person above I hope takes the edge slightly off the shitty situation.
I can’t think of 1 manager I would’ve sent that to lol. So that says a lot and the next place will be lucky to have you.

That’s really kind of you man, and it does take the sting out.
I’ve got a plan, the steps figured out and a path ahead.
I’ll get there in the end, even if it sucks ass for a while. As long as Fluffball and I have a place to live and bills paid (and the strays fed) then it’ll be OK :)
I agree.
I am scared all the time.
It didn’t used to be like this.
The governments have been failing us for a very long time. The current state of things is scary
it’s not just that
pay rates are 1/3 of what they were in the 1970s and yet society still has the same expectations
if the changes society has endured happened in a few years we would say we are in an economic depression but since it’s been 50 years people pretend this is normal
and yes, the BIG failure is letting big business take our natural resources for free
we could be living like Norway
Exactly. The wealth disparity is growing
I’m so fucking sorry. I really hope you’re into another job quickly.
No idea if it helps but I saw this as a safeguard if worst comes to worst (and I hope it doesn’t) https://unison.org.au/about-us/our-properties/make-room-melbourne
Edit: Also I hope this is never needed but you can get medical care, food, and temporary boarding if necessary through Pets Of The Homeless https://www.petsofthehomeless.org.au/
My lower back is still no bueno. Impossible to sit in my office chair and not get pain, did as much as I could but I’m in bed now. Physio helped a bit but it’s not a miracle cure. I waddled around the block for a bit to keep my back moving, waddling is all I can muster right now. I got a few puzzled looks from my slow strange movement haha. Pleeease be better by tomorrow.
Oh no. Backs are slow to heal. If the physio gave you exercises, they will help but it might take a few weeks to months. If you need to get through the day, Voltaren may help, but it’s a mask not a cure.
gentle hugs
My day off got ruined by not one but two neighbours doing LOUD renovations all day :( I’ve been out of the house for most of it because it’s hard to deal with, but not my idea of relaxing.
It’s that hour again
Of distant song birds twittering
Magpies warbling
And occasional low rumble of a carSadly I’m back to 2 hour blocks of sleep.
Fuck it. Gym everyday it is then.
Did my first morning gym session in a loooong time this morning. Still train evenings but morning workouts are so much better.
Hope your sleep patterns improve mate. You deserve the rest.
I hear you. I seem to sleep better when I go on long walks but then my back hurts
maybe wait til my back is better, I’ve been walking when sore
My god I cannot stop yawning
😠
thank you
I’ve scrolled down this thread several times, and each time I read your comment I yawn. I yawned again while typing this reply, lol
You need a trigger warning on that sort of statement. Now I am too and I have to get through a full night shift!
Good morning 😊

( just so perfectly cast , I love it so much )
My sister said that last night, I yelled out, “Who are you?” a few times in my sleep. I wonder if it had to do with something that happened or if it was just random.
Goodnight all and thanks for kind words ❤️
good night
i bought a white chocolate pistachio rocky road as a special treat
y’know, one of those recipes that sounds better than it really is
1/2 rock out of 5
Too sweet?
bitter
I’ve never thought pistachios are bitter. Maybe you got a bad batch or it’s a rubbish recipe. So annoying to buy things with high expectations and it turns out to be crap.
rubbish recipe and I think bad quality ingredients
Oh wow
White choc always tastes slightly rancid to me. I find that very offputting.
