    I saw sriracha hommus at Aldi and I wanted to buy it to freak my husband out because IT’S NOT HOMMUS IF THERE’S THINGS ADDED TO IT! 😂

    1am smoke alarm battery pipping. An alarm that was supposedly serviced in January. Fuck these fraudster companies!

    I’ve decided Marketing Cloud isn’t for me and I think I’ll find another job.

    Some rather promising Victorian State Government (multiple positions) roles have come up so I’ll try my luck

    It was only a little itty bitty tiny weenie bit of fluffy wind at the dinner table and I immediately knew that was a mistake.

    Got a cold call for a job that’s a lot like what I used to do so I’m 95% sure I don’t want it, but I’ve got dragged into a chat with the director on Monday anyway despite telling the recruiter it’s probably not for me??

    Am bored/curious so I’ll go, although I don’t like wasting people’s time… but geez the recruiter was persistent. I’m sure he must be getting a cut for any interview he scores even though the chance of converting it into a hire is low

      Never feel bad about wasting a company’s time when it comes to hiring. Everyone gets jerked around in the hiring process, it’s good to give it back to them now and then

        Very fair point. That makes me feel better about going in out of sheer curiosity and to work out where I fit in in the industry and maybe make a couple connections. It has been a long road towards not taking these evaluations too personally (whether positive or negative) or feel like I need to be selling myself at all times. And it’s a small industry, so it’s easy to feel over-conscious about what people think, but I’m sure I can still maintain a decent enough profile with a gracious “thanks but no thanks” at the end of the interview.

      They don’t get a cut for the interview, but they do if you are hired and it’s a lot. Something like 5-10% of your salary. If they fill a $100k position, they get something like $10k. Or, their employer does. Which is why you see so many recruiters self-employed.

        I figured it should be for hires, not just finding candidates and getting interviews. Guy must be a bit of a rookie if he thinks I’d seriously convert into a hire but I guess it’s a tight market in that specific sector.

    Tried to do the move details for my gas and electricity and had to phone AGL twice, the second time to actually have them do it since the system wouldn’t accept the info.
    I need a drink.

    I just found my spare car key, which I lost about 10 years ago! It was in a magnetic keyholder on the inside of the door of my shed in the carport. Now that I have found it I have a vague recollection of putting it there because I need to move the car to fully open the shed door. Obviously this did not turn out to be a helpful move.

      Ah the wonderful recollections of putting an item intentionally somewhere only after you find it. How useful is that?

      Hiding it so well you couldn’t find it!

    I’ve been roped into the footy tipping thing this year, usually manage avoid it. Being in IT, nobody in my immediate team cares. With few exceptions, they know only that the sport exists. They wouldn’t even be able to name more than a couple of teams.
    Now, I have to somehow find $25. I feel like I’m in some RPG game.

    Quest: Join Footy Tipping competition
    You need:

    • ✅ Footy tipping account.
    • ⬜ $25 Joining Fee

    Side Quest: Obtain $25
    You need:

    • ⬜ Find an ATM
    • ⬜ Withdraw $40
    • ⬜ Find something to buy that costs between $10 & $15

    I haven’t dealt with cash in years. It is very annoying. I am absolutely out of practice.

    They cancelled my offer. I have 3 charges for shoplifting against me from 9 years ago which I mentioned in advance and it was fine.

    In fucked now. Completely and utterly fucked.

      Mentioned in advance. Then they pulled it out of the hat at the last minute. That is absolutely gross. If they weren’t OK with it, they should have said so earlier - much earlier.

      By the way, you can apply to have minor offence charges struck off your record after a period of clean living. Not sure what the period is for shoplifting. Something about the Statute of Limitations. Might be worth enquiring about this at Legal Aid or other community legal service.

        Yeah, smells like failing somebody on a drug screen for prescriptions they pre declared. Not cool.

      Wtf!! That’s so fucked!! At the same time, that’s a red flag for them to say they’re cool with it and then use it as an excuse. Fuck them!

      !!! This is unbelievable. Do they do public service contracts, is that why they’re so anal? Regardless, how could they tell you one thing and then do another? Aside from being horrific for you it’s a waste of their own time and resources too.

      I am so, so sorry. Be gentle with yourself today and try your best to focus on the good that you have brought and will continue to bring to your life and the world. This has got to be a matter of messed up communication or legal requirements. If not, then they’re not good people… It’s not a black mark on your character even if a part of your brain wants you to think it is. We believe in you!

      That’s really shit. I know you’re probably feeling really really shit (and completely fairly), but when you start to feel better you should write them a strongly worded email, essentially calling them a gaggle of cunts. I guess the silver lining (even though that doesn’t make up for it) is that at least you’ve seen their true colours early on. I know it doesn’t change things, but you’ll probably be better off working elsewhere if that’s the kind of business they run.

      ::: also if you feel like being petty: spoiler Also, you can name and shame if you feel comfortable doing so. You won’t be sued. The very worst that could happen is you may get a cease and desist (they can be sent for any reason AFAIK), but nothing would hold up in court provided you don’t tell people to harass them or release personal info :::
