Bit of a wild swim in that wind. Very choppy waves hitting the beach at 45 degrees (usually they’re parallel). Ended up 80m down the beach in a few mins from where my kit was. Certainly wasn’t a south easterly as per BoM but nth. easterly.
So no wave tonight just sand in the wind:
I feel like your photos would make an awesome coffee table book.
Agreed, would buy it.
I can hear the Dune soundtrack
They denied my raise. Apparently doing 45 hour weeks isn’t enough. Go fuck yourselves. Give me insanely difficult clients and then tell me the relationship isn’t great. Pretty much what I expected.
The relationships were damaged significantly from issues between respective leaderships. Very little could be done and none of them had anything but praise for me.
Ahh well, act your wage I guess.
Damn straight. Now they get an average employee.
Silver lining is you know exactly where you stand with them. When you move on, it won’t be a shock.
That really does suck. Time to stick to the job description and use that time for other applications
I’m pretty much applying on my phone while I’m at work lol
I know that. Your job listing better have Seek Easy Apply or its going into the Saved Abyss
Bingo! Lol
What a bunch of fuck heads. Losing staff left right and centre and then refusing to accommodate you is so stupid. They know the place is going down the toilet.
These guys are a whole other level of stupid.
What a bummer. Especially when this place had such promise when you first started. Sounds like you’ve exhausted every avenue and it’s time to move on… Hope you manage to jump this sinking ship soon, seems like nothing but bad news all around.
Sooner you get a new role the sooner you can think about moving house too.
I honestly felt this was the best job I had. Of course, I get anxious thinking “am I overreacting”? But then I remember that we’ve lost close to a dozen people in less than 3 months.
I’ll be out soon hopefully, I’ve got interviews this week.
I’m trying to move house ASAP, but I don’t think I can swing it just yet. But we’ll see.
A dozen people in three months? Wow.
That’s so bad. Really digging their heads in the sand with the chaos going around them.
I was working with one of my clients to sign a 1.5 million dollar contract.
Not anymore.
🤯
I’m so sorry.
It’s ok. I have other options
Today is a shut down and try again tomorrow day. Was not productive at all, too sleepy.
ugh I am so hot today. wtf
Like a sunrise.
Kiss me Ketut
Good jeans.
Good hair
I hope they’re doing ok
I’m not as active on here on the weekends as during the week. It’s easier to write something when I’m not worried about two toddlers wrestling on the couch compared to when I’m at work.
I still dip in and out to see what everyone is doing
I’m similar, in that I just lurk sometimes because I either don’t a) have anything to contribute b) am too busy or c) have nothing to whinge about haha.
Too busy’s a big I’ve for me. I don’t understand people that tweet all the time, even just shooting out a tweet takes time.
And even though you can put anything in here, no matter how mundane, sometimes I just can’t think of anything
“Oh what’s that? I’m feeling really sick? Sorry guys, I’ll be away for the next 2 days recovering.”
Fuckers.
Get well soon. 🤭
I think guitar, Gibson time and some video games will help.
It what Dr Seagoon ordered. 😜😜
Can’t sleep gang checking in.
Ted decided it’s breakfast time and woke me up with some gentle patting
he’s hungry, Bill ate his dinner two days in a row , now they are fighting cos Ted got early/extra brekkie
Naughty Bill. They might have to dine in separate establishments
Dentist today. First checkup in…a lot of years. Little scared about what my mouth and wallet are going to look like after
Good luck! If there’s a lot to do you can stagger it over time
Oop. Did not realise wendigoon is a gateway to the alt-right pipeline 👀 here’s me just enjoying his enjoying his analog horror analyses.
Apparently, if YT thought I was a guy, it would start recommending me more alt-right videos, after watching wendigoon.
If I reccomended his channel, take it with an ocean of salt. 😬😬😬
Yikes. Yeah, there is apparently something with the algorithm that tries to send you down that rabbit hole.
I used to watch canning or gardening videos (ok and maybe a few self sufficiency videos) and started getting recommended religious preppers
Also gaming in general can be a pipeline.
I hate that gaming interests does that. It’s annoying and lame AF. I love video games, does not mean I’m interested in right wing shenanigans! One can be a leftie and still like video games 😭
And I’m not surprised regarding self-sufficiency and religious preppers; very US bible belt, end-of-times shite. Why does every innocent interest or hobby have to be taken over by fucking weirdos!? 😭😭😭
It’s just YouTube. I saw someone share a profile just for their kid to watch videos and there was just a Jordan Peterson video in the recommended.
I see the same thing at work. My work account only has videos related to work and it’s trying to push conservative political shit on me
You’re comment is serendipitous! My partner told me about wendigoon last night, and today I’ve been picking up on other male YT channels that play horror games saying offhand shit about women. I can’t unsee it!
I just ranted to him about it, but I’d rather know than blindly support channels that promote or hold those views.
Thankfully, YT knows I’m “female” and hasn’t recc’d me any outright Jordan Peterson-esque, right-wing propaganda stuff. It’s just I like watching channels play horror games, and the vast majority are US men. It’s so easy for young boys and men to fall down that hole these days ugh!!
Funnily, since Cheetolini and President Musky got in, FB has been reccomendeding me Jordan Peterson shit. I hate that site, I only use it to post pictures of Mickey to his rescue orgs page as they like seeing their cats and dogs living their best life 😂
It sucks. I saw some clips of Asmongold and thought he’d be mildly entertaining to watch, and then it turns out he’s just a massive chud as well. You can watch a bunch of neutral or leftist content and Youtube won’t recommend anything similar, but watch something with even a hint of a rightwing crossover audience and it fills your feed with Daily Wire type shit.
Met the new neighbour down here. Dude was born here but moved to the US as an equine vet. Now he’s moved back. Turns out he went to the same school and grandparents lived next to mine. Small world. Seems decent so that’s good. He’ll apparently be back and forth and renting it out as a holiday place in between so might get a few partays to crash.
:(
Alright. Let’s see what these captains of industry have decided.
Hoping for the best outcome for you 🤞🏼
Thank you :)
Good luck! Wishing you the best!
TW Functional depression, suicidality
Well, I’ve reported the trees in case they fuck up my house. Now to wait and see if I’m once more subjected to crazy aggressive behaviour in retaliation 😔
Melbcat is medicated and fed and resting her sore little self. She’s due her arthritis shot soon. I’m begging for her to perk up because this is scaring me.
Life really kind of sucks and it feels permanent. I can’t even do my hobbies despite the desire to. It’s not even living. All I ever seem to do is struggle and suffer.
Watching someone so important to you as they get closer to the inevitable is the absolute toughest thing. Sending kindness and grace down the interwebs. Lean into the cuddles and the good bits. We are here for you.
Thanks. She’s genuinely like my child so it’s really hard to think about. I don’t think she’s there yet as she’s still walking to her bowls and eating but she’s not her usual self.
💟
