I didn't get the job.

I just want to fucking disappear, I'm so fucking tired. I just want a chance.

That sucks! The way you speak about Mickey and pets in general, I can't think of anyone better suited for the role. What more could they possibly want?! I know it might not help much to hear this now, but please keep trying and don't give up.

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Oh bugger sorry to hear that.

When you get the gig you'll be great at it.

I'm sorry ๐Ÿ˜”

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Oh I'm so sorry. Your break will come I promise

[โ€“] Eagle@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Your chance will come, lovely. It will. And when it does you are going to be incredible at it.

You can hide away and lick your wounds for a day or two but we're not going to let you wallow. โค๏ธ

I got a win today. I found out that there was illegal reselling of one of our vendors products online at multiple legitimate retailers.

Emailed director. Director rang vendor slt. Vendor product manager is going to contact the major retailers to take down the ads asap.

Simon gets a fucking victory.

[โ€“] tone212_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Simon for employee of the month ๐Ÿ™Œ

May the cattery call me with good news this afternoon ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’œ

I really need a little win

Edit: also playing Whamageddon this year. Added Mariah as well, so we have to avoid the original versions of Last Christmas and All I Want For Christmas, respectively.

Oh, me too! No plans as yet, will see what the teenager wants to do

I'm pretty sure for me it will involve getting a sandwich from hectors deli in the city. I tried it for the first time yesterday and I gotta say, it is worth the hype. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had honestly

Fuck I love a good mango.

My little dog has been the bestest dog this past week. Considering he gets excited and starts jumping on us if he hasn't seen us in 5 minutes he's been remarkably calm and delicate with the man.

YL came home from holidays last night and he was happy to see her. I had to tell her to keep the excitables down. It's like he's gone into senior mode (the dog that is).

Free donuts on offer in co-working today, never seen so many people go after free food at once. I was one of them.

Have had to reschedule open mic to next week. Have to be at work at 7am Friday morning so that's not going to happen if I'm not finishing till 10ish at the bar.

Another solo trivia night and at a brand new venue. The big crowds must be because of the tine of year. Once I got everything set up it went smoothly

I might try the beach ๐Ÿ™‚

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I used to go with my mum to Peter Mac many moons ago and we'd use Parliament station and she hated the escalators so much that I'd have to talk to her the whole time while on them. Going down was the worst. I could here her mumbling "fuck, fuck, fuck".

Anyway I asked her one time why we didn't use the lifts. Her answer was "I tried them once. They're slow and smelt horrendously like piss. I was slowly suffocating. Never again".

To this day whenever I get in a lift I think about who the fuck has pissed in the corner?

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I feel it's rare to find a public transport/car park life that doesn't smell like piss.

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The loos at Parliament station are so hard to access that I can quite see how someone in a hurry would go to the lift at the end of the platform rather than hike up the escalators, fish out their myki, walk a large circle around the barriers, go to the loo, walk back around, fish out myki again and then back down those awful escalators again. The Parliament escalators are famous for bothering people with sensory or balance issues - instant vertigo. The designers got them so wrong that they are now world famous for bad design. I hate those escalators with a passion. I usually end up sitting down on a step and only stand up for the last little bit. God help anyone navigating them with shopping bags and/or small children in tow. They should have put proper loos on each platform, or at least on each level. And good luck FINDING the loos at Melbourne Central.

so hot down the beach, hot and glary,

I think if I go to the beach this summer I will go early in the morning, after brekkie, that way I won't get cooked or skin cancer

I did find some nice shells

transport test done, at best the train disruption has doubled the time it takes to get From Seaholme to Spencer street, from 25 min to 50 . Not great but still less time than from Carlton to Spencer!

A new The Zenith Passage song dropped recently if you like your extreme metal with a bit of groove
