Of all my luck they’re going to do maintenance on the power grid again and I’ll be without power again for Sunday.
Why do they keep doing this doing my holidays!
I better set the timer for the heater so it’s at least somewhat warm when I wake up and need to figure out food if the maintenance doesn’t end early.
So we decided to turn over a new leaf at work. Turns out my old manager is under extreme stress for me to succeed in my role. From the way he was saying it, it sounded like there was some hectic shit going on in the background.
He apologised to the 2 dudes he shoved and he's gone back to being normal.
So that's a win.
We worked twice as hard (literally) at last week's eofy event than the same time last year, however there is a backlog of work because we're understaffed and the expectation from the old timers is that we work 12 hour days every day to get it done.
That's not how things work these days. It's not the late 90s.
And the world isnt going to end.
Would have been nice for someone to say "good work leading the team dude".
I get why people buy lottery tickets.
Goodnight everyone. Thank you for putting up with my constant drama posting.
Sleep well ❤️
Finished Interstellar after being hooked on the soundtrack. I don't know if I can do space movies anymore 😕
How did you end up cooking the apple strudel last week?
I think I m going to try it tonight
City sleepover for work. We're doing a workshop on our project management software so I don't know how much work will actually be done. I just hope the dinner is good
Boogitty, boogitty!
It's a PEP training session. We've just started but it's been alright because it acknowledges we have to work in Office 365 and how to work in there.
The main thing this session is reminding me is how much I hate Microsoft and how poorly implemented all of their products are.
Workplaces should get everyone to do sessions like this so everyone knows how to use their software, and how to use it consistent with the organisation as well
Cat tmi, poo talk
Melbcat has been to the vet because she started crying again… it may be that the accidents were from overcompensating with the osmolax, and now it’s been drastically reduced she’s crying again possibly due to the constipation returning.
There will be a small regular dose (say 1/8tsp) that will slowly increase until a balance is found.
I feel a bit silly but relieved that that could have been it. It’s ok. I’m her mum and it’s my job to worry.
Regarding the Back to the Beginning show:
I have always been of the opinion that aging rock stars should take a step back and reflect on the glory days… and try to be satisfied with what they have accomplished. (and step aside for the modern talent) Nobody wants to see an elderly person in a wheelchair try and re-live the glory days on stage and end up being an embarrassment for themselves and their legacy.
So, as troubling as it may be to watch Ozzy belt out the classics at the Back to the Beginning show while sitting in a giant leather chair throne., he still sounds unbelievably amazing for his age and condition. astonishing really.
That’s really it I guess. I haven’t had the chance to see all of the sets yet, however the generational range of the bands seemed as good as could be expected.
Does anyone here have tips about doing side gigs on an ABN? I created one for shits and giggles a couple of years ago but never used it. Now an opportunity might have come up where an org wants me to do a sort of training/workshop thing for a few employees. I intend for it to be a once off (maybe a second session at best) - set scope, hours, lump sum - but idk how I should be reporting all of this in terms of tax and what documents to generate and keep.
I guess my ABN should be on the quote and invoice... GST?! and do I issue a receipt... I will Google things after dinner but if anyone has any personal tips (esp anything that's easy to overlook) I'd be very grateful.
E: now I'm getting truly lost in the weeds with personal services income and whatever. Geez. I'm glad most of my income is from a job at a company
Let's see how this meeting with SLT plays out.
