Good news! Just got a phone call from work, the client found the missing $$$ (and from the sound of it it was $$$) so that's a relief to say the least. Change in the attitude of the carer lead was... a thing. But a cordial conversation was had and she's taken me off that client, so all well there.
I'd put in an application to join a union this morning and I'll keep on with it, as knowing aged care odds are that Something Will Happen.
But now I can do dinner tonight and really enjoy it, not just try and use it as a distraction!

Working in the community can be great, it can also be shit. Glad the dollars were found, but it does make you feel like garbage to have your professional integrity questioned. Union protection is a good idea.

Just join your union anyway, it's always a good thing and they need the support too, to advocate for you. Forget cmfuckup, and focus on your own union and the good things they can do for you. :)

I'm so glad this has worked out, and that they know you had nothing to do with it! Enjoy your day and all the beautiful things in your life, you deserve the relief and peace!

I did! I did want to join the UWU for a number of reasons but the guy I spoke to said they wouldn't take me on with a pre existing situation so I went for the HWU... we'll see how it works out.
Thank you - contemplating a nice beach walk and a cakey thing, and tonight is dumplings! 😁

Fantastic news.

How does $$$ go missing anyway and I'm guessing they tried to blame you for it going missing?

I hope they issue an apology to you as it sounded like you weren't going through a nice time if you're also considering joining a union for protection.

I think you should treat yourself to something delicious tonight.

  • they forget where they left it and search other places
  • they decide it was the carer who stole it
  • they find it later and call back to say it was found

Exactly what StudSpud said, though in this case it was a little older and with health issues. And it did look like I was at least under suspicion.
Anyway apology has been extended and an Uber eats voucher has been sent, so that's something.

I had an accident trimming my beard last night, the length attachment fell off while using and took a huge chunk of it out. Didn't have any other option but to trim it all off. I kept the mo and some of the "soul patch" (had to look up what that's called, strange name). I haven't been hairless on my face like this for years, it's an adjustment. Feeling wind on my cheeks this morning was weird and kinda nice. Maybe this was divine intervention to change it up.

My husband's been growing beards lately and he can't get the trimming right near the top lip. Doesn't matter how many you tube videos he's watched he somehow makes it look weird so he shaves it all off and the growing process starts again.

I don't care if he has a beard or not. I just don't want to see food dangling off the mo.

I used to trim my own and it looked pretty bad each time. Started going to the local barbers, and they're fantastic. I go every 6-8 weeks, and in between trim it myself a bit.

They're worth it.

Good idea. Maybe I should give it a go first though.

When he goes in for a hair cut he gets his eyebrows trimmed. Surely that's a sign you're getting old when the hairdresser asks "Sir would you like your eyebrows trimmed too"?

I went back to the op shop because there was a Led Zeppelin shirt I didn’t grab. You snooze you lose, probably snapped up 30 seconds after I left by a reseller.

But I did get some Buffy dvds and some art books. I went a little ham because things are getting scrubbed from the internet and I’m rediscovering the importance of physical media.

Life is a little bit easier now the demanding meds schedule is over, instead of stressing Melbcat out all the time we can focus on cuddling and chilling together.

I've pirated for years and never been caught. The bigger issue is accessing the torrent websites. But you can set up search in Qbittorrent to search within the program, so you don't even need to go to the dodgy websites

It happens periodically. Streaming services don’t hold on to things forever, and even sites like the Internet Archive (which shares free access to books) periodically has to negotiate a changing landscape of access to materials.

We do not own things we get off Netflix, or even off Steam and such. Access can be revoked

Yeah, that’s why it should be allowed to archive. Infinity Train was wiped off the internet out of spite and there was some stink about people losing music they had purchased. As in purchased under the agreement that they would be able to keep access.

Subscription based services can get fucked. I may not dare pirate but I’m not afraid to go caveman if I have to

This has been slowly happening for a long time without fanfare. A lot of stuff you used to be able to watch for free on YouTube (even older stuff) is getting more difficult or impossible to find due to aggressive copystrikes, probably to try and push us onto cable and streaming services.

Cartoon Network likes to wipe shows from the internet after they finish or are cancelled and they’re probably not the only ones.

Also the Internet Archive recently lost a copyright lawsuit that means access to 50,000 (?) books (and movies?) was lost.

Basically corporations are getting more aggressive about gatekeeping what you can access for free and taking stuff down, so a lot of people are advocating for making physical backups or obtaining copies of anything important to you.

All the apps for Lemmy are like clients to view it instead of having one app dedicated to Lemmy. Similar to how there were a bunch of other clients to view Reddit before the api changes.

Lemmy is also different to other fediverse apps in that you follow communities instead of users. I think that might cause some compatibility issues between the two

A glass of wine would've been a great idea! Didn't think of that.

If the weather had been better I would've definitely taken Skybus but I figured I would rather buy myself some peace of mind after a very overwhelming week.

Seems busy enough but not disgustingly so. I think a lot of the families with younger kids would've gone by now. Weather has caused some delays here and there. I'm ready to fall straight asleep once I board - hopefully soon.. It'll be 1:30am Melbourne time when we land so I'm taking all the sleep I can get

It's total horseshit.

And it was for a participation appointment that's literally just someone reading a participation plan I'm already aware of and asking if I want to change anything. It's something I could easily do in the app and save an operator for someone trying to call.

I absolute despise catching Ubers, but sometimes it's my only choice for a work thing.

Why the fuck do they drive with that whole "go fast, sudden stop, go fast, sudden stop".

Literally makes me car sick.

I remember catching an Uber early morning in Paris. 130km/h speed limit to the airport, which additionally was treated as a mere suggestion. I was temporarily religious.

So there is a 6 hour long Dreading (yt channel) video on this small US politician who murdered a journo.

He took the stand, none of his defence guiding him, and did a defence by narration 😱🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've died from laughter. He has no proof he was framed, and keeps getting objected because it's just hearsay.

Haven't even gotten to the cross exam yet and this guy thinks he can just say what he wants. I'm losing my fucking mind that an amazing journalist, Jeff German, lost his life to this utterly deluded psychopath.
