Same. It’s odd going from paper to plastic to paper again. And it’s shite paper. At least we could reuse plastic bags.

Depressing weather. Have the fire going to get the washing dry. Discovered my shower is going mouldy. What is it with grout and silicon that we haven’t mould proofed it yet?

I have a tesla and think that Elon is a moron. There’s plenty of us. Very narrow minded to think that all Tesla owners support musk.

Do you boycott any product after researching the CEO in great detail and not liking them ?

I still get 3G sometimes 50km from the Melbourne cbd, despite having a 5g capable phone direct with Telstra. This cut off is a problem in these areas where reception is terrible.

Tough luck for being a hard worker. Changed jobs a few times and spent 18 months absolute cramming my life with studying etc to get a better job. And people wonder why we have people becoming landlords to get negative gearing to try and offset the high taxes.

Maybe lowering interest rates would be a better option here given that is what is causing the cost of living crisis as far as rent and mortgage. Has zero effect on cost of goods due to super profit greed.

Had a manager go on about all the collab and help he got when starting out at the company and how important the connections are etc.

Someone else pointed out that if you can’t get help using MS teams then you have a problem. Plus it’s 2023 - no need to stuck to old ways of work.

When I’m in the office, I’m wearing headphones to try and block the noise from the random hot desking people from random parts of the business all talking loudly on teams calls. The business has multiple physical locations in various states hence the teams calls. There’s no chatting or “water cooler” talk.

I cannot work in these conditions nor do I want to spend 2 hours each way commuting to waste my day like this. It’s my personal hell.
