Dunno how long this will last.
I wonder how they’ll generate profits if they already had such a massive debt.
What I thought was an arvo shift is, in fact, a morning shift. So 4am wake up time and shower. Ughhhhhhhhhhh! 💀
The Mystery Of The Missing Tram.
Perth also appear to be missing an icon. I have no idea why, maybe the icons got drunk and ran off together somewhere and will be back after they sober up?
I posted a little one but it’s not the same.
The absence of ding ding is deafening.
I have the tram, but not the map anymore. I don’t know where I am to catch the tram.
Ding, ding MF!
Crapola sleep team, checking in.

Mickey doing his best to eat the WiFi
CyberCat will now devour the matrix
All felines love delicious CAT 5 cable.
My Standard Issue Cat takes issue with the CAT 5 cable, because he feels they’ve appropriated the name ‘CAT’
Blargh! Using my new special leave. They tried to word it to avoid saying Blood or Broken Brain, but nobody is fooled.
This humidity and fog is gross, fuck off!
You get what you’re given and if you don’t like it you go to bed hungry!
I definitely had to take it and unwillingly at that.
Looked at ndis as I need help with disability. The sheer amount of doctors letters, assessments etc required is going to be insane, stressful and probably costly into the thousands. Then there’s the long wait times (over 6 months to get a response) Hardly accessible. Im struggling so hard to stay employed - wfh was so great for disabled people and now the return to office mandates has my job being threatened. It has no actual physical requirement (tech) but they insist that going into the office for “connection” with the internal team (who is across multiple states anyway ) is a “mandatory business requirement”.
Fucking joke at the expense of my health declining even further.
Would it be possible to get a dr’s letter to say you should work from home, do you think? It might be at least a temporary solution while getting the ndis sorted.
This is a good idea, to talk to your dr and get a med cert for reasonable adjustments. The reasonable adjustments being WFH full time due to an underlying disability. If you’re part of a union, give them a call and talk to a rep for advice :)
Did that to reduce to 1 day a week. But it doesn’t help during flare ups, at which point they want detailed medical info each time and end dates /durations/return to work plans . It doesn’t work like that unfortunately.
I just want to be productive and work - but at home so I can deal with my symptoms as needed and not be on public display. Plus the exertion of travel and being in an office all day. Sigh.
yeah our return to office mandate was only for those who didnt have a medical reason or whos contract doesnt state full time remote.
I’m so sorry to hear this is happening to you, especially them changing the requirements after you started there. It’s not fair at all, and I hope they come to their senses or that you can find something better.
NDIS is unrelated to workplace disability laws. If you need accomodations at work due to disability, you can approach HR at your workplace to discuss your needs. Maybe have a look at fairwork Australia website to see what the rules are and how to make a request.
Some info here
I know that- they created a business requirement so now wfh doesn’t meet their job role requirements, so now you’re fired or going into work unwell.
Adjustment means they can make exceptions if your disability requires it. The job requirement part depends on the reasons, eg if being present is an inherent part of the job, (it would be impossible to be a hairdresser via zoom), then the adjustment can be refused. But if it’s only for social reasons, there may be some flexibility. You don’t know until you ask! It’s also possible that the employer can make the adjustment at the workplace. For example if a person can’t use stairs, and building doesn’t have a lift, then make sure they are situated only on ground floor and all meetings are held in accessible rooms etc. I know it’s not always easy to approach employer and some of them might be dismissive of requests. But… if it’s a choice between suffer and maybe have to quit work, or ask and possibly get some accomodations there’s no harm at all in asking.
Have asked and this is where im at - go to work unwell or find another job. They changed the rules after I started working there.
So sorry to hear. Hopefully you can find something that suits you better.
I have spent a small fortune over the last couple of days. Organisation supplies for the bathroom and grocery/pet food/cleaning supplies mostly. Once Miss Meow’s vet visit is over this morning I might have to glue my wallet shut!
I just spent 100 on cat litter and pee pads , at least it lasts about 8 weeks
Yay, eight hours of sleep! No to a massive headache and waking up at 9 instead of 7!
But I slept more yay :)
Miss Meow has now been successfully taken to the vet. I managed to get her into the carrier with only one scratch. She was so terrified about the whole thing the vet has prescribed sedatives for next time. She has also been declared overweight and in need of a diet, so of course the first thing she did when we got home was make a beeline for her dry food bowl and stuff her face with comfort kibble.
On the way home I beeped at a pedestrian for the first time ever. Seriously Miss Pedestrian, you have right of way to cross the road, not to stop half way contemplating life or admiring the view or whatever it was she was up to. Then, to add to the excitement of the trip, when I got home there was a police crime scene unit parked next door. I am guessing someone robbed the new townhouses over the road, empty houses filled with brand new appliances tend to be a bit of a target.
Miss Meow is missing chompers and is still overweight. What are you feeding her? Maybe she’s raiding the pantry while you’re asleep.
Too much dry food I think. She also raids Mr Woof’s dry food, so I need to be more attentive at pickup up his leftovers!
😂
It’s always funny when a pet runs in, goes for the neighbour’s bowl, then eats their own.
I love when pedestrians cross the road, but do so at an angle or diagonally or whatever, then wave as is we are ok with it. no you muppet! Cross is a straight line, quick as you can. Dont stuff around talking on the phone or whatever.
I just had that happen this morning when I went out for a quick chemist trip.
Blocked me as I was turning into a lane, blocked me from reverse parking and initiating it and blocked me when I need to go back forwards to angle myself correctly.
Also got in my way as I was walking into the shopping centre.
It’s amazing how non attentive pedestrians can really get in your way.
Action filled morning!
Reading my journal from a year ago and I was upset because I had sent my ex a reel that my friend had sent to me saying, “Have some virtual flowers, you deserve it.”
He had replied back saying to send some good quality memes instead. Dude didn’t like the tiniest hint of sap. I am very glad I’m not with someone I’m incompatible with anymore and that I’m not upset over such a stupid thing. Peace ✌️ :)
He sounds like he has the maturity of freshly vinificated grapes.
There’s someone out there for you, and this dude was so not it lol
