I did it! I got the contact I interviewed for. I just need to go through reference checks and I'll start in a week. Everything has worked out and lined up for once.

This will get me on the other side of Christmas if I don't get anything else, and it will give me recent experience in the space I want to work in again.

Thanks everyone. This 2 weeks has gone from a rather stressful period to a kind of paid holiday by my old work. I'm ready to put clunky systems, sales teams, and clueless managers behind me. It's been great having this space to vent and get support from everyone while I've gone through this

This has turned the termination into a blessing in disguise because I'd been speaking to recruiters and the biggest thing stopping me from moving into a contract was my notice period

God work is over. I need sleep and maybe some uber eats.

Tbh I'm still buzzing.

When I first got sober, the guy I lived with had a friend who ran open mic nights in Brunswick.

He got me to go along to watch and I ended up doing them for about a year every week. Was probably one of the few things that made me feel good about myself in those early days. Where you try to figure out who you are and what the hell normal life is supposed to be.

Once it was my birthday and they brought out a cake which was probably the happiest I'd been in more than 5ish years.

I stopped when I got into bands playing guitar again, and with Tafe and work, just stopped singing in general.

The band I was mainly concentrating on, and had an album recorded, gigs lined up etc died when lock downs happened.

Last night was a real big step back into live music. Thanks again everyone for all your support over the last 12ish months.

Means a hell of a lot ❤️

As a fundraiser, the school sent us to a website where you can view some art your kid has done and then order it as a pillow, tote bag, calendar or a bunch of other options. Only this website lets you look at every piece of art that every kid in the school has done and pick any art any kid at the school has done. You just say I want this kid's art on my $15 tote bag, thanks.

My dilemma is my kid is not the greatest artist in the school.

HR dumped this on a random desk in my office to show their gratitude for all we do. Starts off with "Hi team". There's two people who work in this area, me and someone else and we aren't in the same team, not even in the same site technically.

Dunno why they couldn't be honest and just say they found this at the back of their cupboard when doing a clean out. It would have been less insulting.

It's a Friday and I'm still feeling despondent and miserable in my bones despite every effort to cheer up. What a drag... At least I'm meeting up with a friend on Sunday as a reward for the mega-clean I gotta do tomorrow. Booked in 4 rental inspections for Sat, Mon and Tue.

There is one place I just saw that I'm keen on, it is a bit further away but not hugely (15-20 min drive to work) and ticks every other box. Inspection tomorrow morning.

I'm prefilling the application so I can apply asap if it suits, although my latest payslip doesn't reflect my updated annual pay (as my change in hours kicks in from next pay cycle), and I haven't asked for a rental ledger from my current LL yet.

I'm worried that I won't be a very competitive tenant given that I'm single and on a confusing PT wage but I just gotta try.

I hope you find something suitable. What's happened is really, really fucked up.

The power imbalance between landlord and renter in this country is insane. It breeds a contempt for renters.

Australia could be a paradise, but instead we're desperately trying to find somewhere to live. For a 1st world country to be using housing as a commodity is repugnant.

Thanks mate. I agree that the obsession with real estate as investment and this rent-seeking economy has been deleterious to the fabric of society on so many levels. It is not good for anyone's psyche...

I'm increasingly convinced that the only real way I'll earn enough decent coin is to live with family for a while rather than upskill/work harder. Not easy living with them (and they're interstate), but easier than sharehousing with strangers at this age.

It's otherwise so futile, pissing away so much of my hard work just to pay someone else's mortgage and taxes.

ooh I had one a few years ago on the back of my calf. Was basically a 10c coin sized thing that took about a year to go away. Got it from down the bellarine where it's quite common. For me it was really mild / didn't hurt or itch. Interestingly the bacteria belongs to the same family as tuberculosis and leprosy.

Mine started like a ringworm looking thing, so I treated it accordingly and it flared up massively and popped up in a couple of other places on my biceps and thighs. Then I went to the Dr and he thought it was Impetigo so prescribed me antibiotics for a week. It did nothing and during that week spread even worse. Now I have open ulcerating wounds on my thighs and biceps, with other spots like the original ones popping up on my calves and lower arms 😳😳😳

Sox is being unbearably cute today. Cuts through the ennui a bit, even though I've been neglecting her, lost in my own darkness. I've carefully kept away her very long whisker from last night as a good luck charm for the weeks ahead.

If you can, I highly recommend burying your face in her fur. It really calms me; just move away if she stops purring. As long as you don't use your hands, may tolerate it. It really helps me stay grounded, the smell of mickey, his scent mixed lightly with the clean litter. They're soothing animals.

Saving whiskers is something I wish I started sooner. But I've been collecting them now and keeping them in a tin container. I hope to make him a toy with them when I have enough because he likes to eat them lol. I think keeping soxcats whiskers is a good omen, a positive influence that cats (and animals) can bring to our lives.

Wishing you a chill, cool night, Kitten. 💜💜💜

I dug out what I thought was a combination DVD and VHS player and plugged it into the TV, turns out it was just a really big DVD player. I couldn't get it working with the RCA inputs into the receiver so I've just hooked up the other DVD player for the moment. The current DVD player also has RCA output and that didn't work either, so it could be the cable.

I put on some DVDs for the kids and it was so much better. You know what you're in for, the shows have a proper start and end, and they can pick out a DVD like they do books when they're ready

  1. you hate fun
  2. you dislike treating yourself to things you deserve
  3. the idea of playing awesome games like rift apart, FFXVI, Spiderman2 or Astrobot makes your skin crawl.

Have you finished BG3 yet?

I had to sell my ps5 when I was unemployed so never got to finish bg3. Which fucking sucked tbh.

I'm super keen to grab one, was just trying to think of negatives to balance the equation.

The PS5 Pro will sell for $1200 here. You can get a cheap gaming PC for that price and have access to your Steam, GOG, and Epic library, as well as using it for everything else you can use a PC for. Get a controller and a loungeroom keyboard and you can use it from the couch just as easily as a console.

That's my reason against. If you've already got games on PS5 then it's a harder argument against it

Damn good point. My current studio pc is a 5600x 32gb ram and an rtx 2070 with some m2 ssds.

Say I was to build a higher spec studio pc, would my current one be enough for gaming?

tombruzzo 2 points 2 years ago

That's a heck of a studio PC. I think it would work fine, you may need to upgrade the graphics card depending on what you want to play but you don't have to go top spec there

I'm going to upgrade to an AM5 CPU and up the ram to 64gb. The virtual instruments I use eat up insane amounts of ram. For example, 1 drumkit can take upto 15gb of ram.

But cheers, I reckon this will do nicely for a loungeroom gaming pc.

Ps5 pro will cost way more than just 1200. It doesn’t even come with a disc drive so that has to be purchased separately.

If you for some reason want a stand too you need to shell out extra for it.

I think personally it’s the worst upgrade to come out ever.
