    Can no one do their fucking job anymore? The daily interaction with complete ineptitude across many organizations is truly breathtaking.

    For fucks sake am I reaching for the stars here?

      You know what it is? At least in my workplace: Its become easier to ASK someone rather than engage your own brain. And i fucking HATE it. Where are the managers in all this? Oh they’re “Too Busy” to know their staff are incompetent as fuck? C’mon!!! if I get one more @everyone “ITS NOT WOOOOOORKING” message on teams I’m gonna lose my fucking mind.

      Maaaate I had to tell someone they need to press the button with the power symbol (not the steam symbol) to turn the coffee machine on. This was a uni graduate. And that was not the stupidist interaction I have had this w::: spoiler Title

      :::eek!

      Every org I work with is under resourced, with a bunch of small groups keeping it going and so many others just…adrift.

        Just a heads up your spoiler didn’t quite work. To be fair, Lemmy spoilers are kind of consuming, but it needs to look like this:

        ::: spoiler (spoiler tile) [Line break] Spoiler here :::

        So all up that looks something like this

        And...

        And that was not the stupidist interaction I have had this week!

    Morning.

    I’m off to a good start. My accounts are done, my flat is clean and I have footy tickets, and it’s not even half past nine

      Look at you with the efficiency! I wish I had that kind of efficiency and motivation. I cleaned half the fridge and put some dishes in the sink with a bit of water. They aren’t soaking and don’t need soaking, but if anyone asks, they’re soaking

    Still upset about what my friend said last night. I somewhat gave up on our closeness a while ago since he got into a relationship.

    But to think that someone you considered family thinks so little of your capabilities is hurtful.

    Full disclosure: I’m on disability support pension. The way it works is if you’re employed you report your income and if something happens, you don’t have to reapply.

    So when he said “maybe you should just stay on DSP”, it was like a knife in the chest.

    Sorry for the rant, but it’s been bugging me.

      This isnt the same guy who uses you as an emotional support pillow, right?

        Sadly it is. It’s my own fault for letting these people into my life. But sometimes you’re desperate just to have friends. Especially when you don’t have family.

      Have you looked into insurance attached to your super? Being on DSP means you’re almost certainly eligible for a TPD claim if you were covered when you last stopped work. Returning to work may void your potential to make a claim for TPD in future. Claiming TPD also does not mean that you aren’t allowed to return to work in future. AMA (anyone) this is something I know lots about

      It hurts when the people we expect to support our endeavors shit all over them instead.

      Fuck what he said. You want a job in the field you know. You’ve done it before, you can get another one too. Use his shithouse attitude as your motivator, prove him wrong. You are intelligent and clever, capable. I believe in you!

    My interview seemed to go okay, I got the impression that I was all but confirmed, pending formalities. The conversation of my salary was not broached. I suppose I will need to bring it up when they make their job offer formal

    Volunteering shift today. Hopefully I won’t be alone for four hours of it like last week. I think it’ll be me and one other person today but I can’t remember.

    Wish me luck

    People on Facebook can be such hard work.

    I posted an answer to a question in a group along the lines of “I think “A” is probably right, but if it turns out to be “B” then this will be the outcome”.

    Got a reply from someone else: “wrong”.

    After multiple comments to prompt him to actually state what was wrong and to provide any sort of support for his statements (the best he could do was state “it’s obvious” that demonstrably untrue fact) I have gotten to a “well we just have different views” post. I give up. Why people feel the need to correct other’s opinions and confidently state things as fact when they don’t really know what they are talking about is beyond me.

    Tried to mellow the extra spicy ramen I accidentally brought a 4 pack off cause I’m trying to waste less food. I managed to get 3/4 of the way through the bowl before losing it. My lips are on fire!

      Can I suggest not to put all the spicy powder in. Keep the rest of the powder and buy just the dry noodles and you can use it in them.
