THE SHIT MANAGER IS MOVING DEPARTMENTS!!!
I report to SLT now. Fuck yes. Fuck yes.
My hatred for my job has almost completely evaporated. This guy has been a nightmare from day 1.
Today, he shoved 2 of the team members because he got frustrated with them.
They came and told me about it and I went to the CEO straight away.
What an absolute piece of shit.
He should be reported to HR, you are absolutely not allowed to lay hands on people like that but the people who got shoved are the ones who need to lodge in the complaint.
I’ve got a meeting with them tomorrow morning.
Fucking cowardly piece of shit. He had to go pick on the young staff, he wouldn’t dare do it to any of the older ones. Standard coward tactics.
Woohoo!!! God it’s such a relief when a toxic personality leaves
Yay!!!
That’s great news. It seems like the Work Gods have intervened and given you the simplest solution
Uni results day today.
I passed my placement - yay.
HD on my final assignment in one unit - w00t.
Still waiting on the results for the other unit. I dunno why the first 2 released at 9am and this one is taking ages.
Hearty congratulations! My final assignment was submitted very late due to extensions so I don’t think I’ll get a grade until mid July but it’s always a great feeling to get some results back after a round of hard work.
Thanks! What are you studying?
The end of a rather niche/identifiable qualification that is related to my job… Dragged it out for years what with covid etc. I finished it out of spite, almost!
Worth it in the end :)
Congrats 🎉
Thank you! I don’t know how, probably because they give them out like lollypops, but I am on HD streak of 7 so far.
Congrats!
That’s awesome, well done!!
Thank you!
I just got into where i’m staying at Wharingu, it’s quiet and this is my view, its very nice
lots of hugs have been exchanged 🥰
ooh that is quite the view!
What a beautiful view and yay for hugs!
The serenity
Absolutely love NZ scenery, have a great time!
Omg stunning 🥰
Miniest didn’t get an offer from her first choice of high school. I came home to a little girl crying in her bedroom, in bed with the curtains closed. I explained that it’s part of the process and probably ed dept policy for every child to be offered a place at a school in their catchment area. We still have an appointment with them later this month… on the very day appeals must be lodged by. So there’s still a (probably slim) chance. But 💔
That’s tough news for her. Hopefully the meeting with the preferred school goes well. From my understanding your preferred school can offer a place if they have one available, without having to go through the appeal process.
Oh poor miniest, that’s so hard. It might be worth contacting the preferred school again, and asking if you could get an appointment earlier if the opportunity arises. Slim chance, but worth a try. There might be other kids that decline their spots or something
I’m about to open a container that came from her room that I think has food in it. I think there’s something growing in there but I have to save my fork. Pray for me.
Update: I don’t know what that was. Maybe banana and yogurt. Fuck.
I would have sacrificed the fork! 🤮
Turns out it was a spoon. I can’t let another soldier go.
There is an excursion on tomorrow as part of this work conference. It’s going to be cold and miserable so I simply Will Not Go.
Everyone on the excursion will think I’m at the office. Everyone at the office will think I’m on the excursion. I will stay home and actually get some work done
Love it!
7 hours to go lol
I won’t be doing this all day. Just once and that’s enough. Hopefully we don’t have to stay as late but we’ll see 🤞🏾
Today absolutely frigging dragged on - I really am due for some fieldwork so I can get out in the fresh air again but nothing coming up for a while :c
I might get moving on my plans to be away in August.
I’m so torn between (a) ending my lease and dumping my shit in storage, or (b) just leaving everything at this rental and going away then coming back.
(a) is much, much more cathartic and closer to my heart… but also challenging and stressful in the short term, and more expensive in the short term due to moving. But does give me the option to extend my break or travel while working remotely if I decide to do that
(b) is easier and cheaper in the short term but psychologically I feel like I won’t get that satisfaction of closing off the past and moving into a new phase of my life with new aims, habits, etc. coming back to this place could see me falling back into a rut because it’s the easy choice. Also will get more expensive if I stay away for longer.
I’m giving myself a week max to sleep on it and decide. At this point I know I’ll be away for a month and the rent is 400/week so financially it’ll only make more sense to dump into storage maybe if I’m away for three months or more. But it isn’t just the finances… I desperately need to shake things up!
Well hello awesome tax return, nice to meet you too!
Edit: from last year. Also another 12 hour day in the office. I’m taking tomorrow off. Fuck this lol
@StudSpud The Starchy I think you’d enjoy this video - one of my favorite channels.
I saw some Worcestershire sauce crinkle cut chips at aldi today and thought of you.
Ooohh must have! Will do research at local Aldi (both of them) to see if there’s any left.
They’re a special buys so good luck.
Interesting! I could understand bits of it
Sorry I just saw this lol! Incredible that you can really hear how Germanic middle English sounded!! Fascinating!
Me, several beers in: what the fuck am I listening to here 😖
It’s a portion of the Reeve’s Tale from the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer. There’s a repeat at the end with subtitles. Both the original and modern inglish.
I think I’ve won the comp this week
×3
hol up from aldi you say?
Yeah.
Oooh I love those. Their jalapeno ones are sooo good. Haven’t tried this one, please review!!
Review from the man: Yeah they’re alright. Not hot. Would get them again though.
Review from me: Precede with caution. Don’t believe what he says about heat. He has no taste buds left.
I bought the jalepeno ones too. Found them at Aldi. I think they’re from last week’s specials.
I won’t be sampling but I’ll get the man to review. 👍
I don’t live near an aldi but I think I might head to one just to try these out
I just want to do nothing today. Couldn’t get out of bed, now can’t get into work at all.
Feeling pretty fuzzy today myself. Mehhhhh. Not sure I would’ve wanted to rot at home either. I just want to get away!
Absolutely agree with this today, cannot get in the headspace to work.
Soooooooooooooo it turns out all that render i’ve been bathed in for the past year gots the lead.
Personally being genX i have a fatalistic view of life, raging systemic lead poisoning and zero shits anyway, but husband is losing his mind so off for a blood test i go.
There is such a thing as chelation to reduce lead levels in the blood. Check for compatibility with any current medication though, as it may remove that from the bloodstream too.
Cried with frustration at the end of tonight’s rebound session. Mostly frustration with myself. Unfortunately the trainer noticed and so everyone noticed. She (and everyone else) was absolutely lovely about it and I know I’ll go back, but wahhh.
Trampolines?
Yeah, mini trampolines! It’s really fun but really tough and absolutely kills the lower sides of my legs. Need to come up with some stretches and/or strength exercises for that area. Would have asked the trainer, but ya know, the crying.
The outer sides of the calves are the peroneal muscles if that’ll help direct your stretch research. Exrx.net is an old site with a lot of anatomy / exercise resources.
Thank you so much! That looks like a great place to start. Appreciate that! :)
Sky pretty.
It was pink on the way out of work today, and the clouds caught the light well
