Anxiety can tell you lies. You did the right thing to overcome it and go for your goals. New things can be stressful, this is completely normal. The trick is not to never be nervous, but to overcome it. It will become less with each class as you gain confidence in your achievements. Yay you!
PSA: there’s a severe weather warning for the eastern suburbs for tonight. Stay safe and charge your devices in case power goes out due to fallen trees.
I’ve never been rich enough to live inner city. Grew up in outer suburbs and now live in a middle suburb. Yeah it’s rubbish ammenities compared to all that you get in inner city. But also I don’t have financial stress, I have space for a garden, and can still go to the city when I need to. It’s a compromise I’m ok with.
Whilst I can appreciate his musical talent, Nick Cave has always seemed like a self absorbed twat to me. I dont like his vibe so I’m not really into the music.
Love it. Sign me up.
Taboo musing: it’s easier to win an Olympic medal in paralympics. Ok hear me out, in regular olympics, there are billions of able bodied people and only 1 set of medals per event. But for paralympics, the pool of potential competitors is less and there are many medals per event due to categories. So para athletes have a statistically better chance at being selected and wining a medal.
Why am I wide awake at 5am on Sunday.
From what you have described there might be a bit of a harsh truth that no one has said to you in a straight up way. Reading between the lines, they are saying you are poor at communicating task progress, which means probably stuffing other people around causing workplace inefficiencies and pissed off coworkers, because they don’t know the status of things. All jobs have boring components. Doing just the fun bits of your job and leaving the boring bits for others will lead to resentment from coworkers in every single workplace. Changing jobs won’t help this. I think you have to look at it from a team perspective. So I reckon use the grace period they are giving you to turn things around, it will be an asset for the rest of your career if you can overcome this. If I have misread the situation very sorry! Am just trying to help with another perspective.
The top of the box looks like two eyes and a mouth and now I can’t unsee it.
For study tip, if you need some focus time out of the house, local libraries often have workspace areas. Free wifi too.
Hope nobody’s house is made of straw, or sticks.
Bin night in our area. Bins vs winds will take place overnight. Place your bets.
So their argument is: some other bigwigs were corrupt, and government stuffed up robodebt, therefore we should be allowed to continue being corrupt thugs on building sites! If that’s the best argument they’ve got, they’re in trouble.
Geez this stranded astronaut thing is a schmozzle. They are doing a lot of ‘everything is fine’ PR, but it must be stressful to be stuck up there, and I’m sure there are some very tense discussions being had.
Got thunder, lightning, rain. No hail yet. Smells good.
It’s amazing how triggers can lurk for decades totally unknown to you that they even exist, until one day they happen. Stressful childhoods are a life long affliction. I’m envious of people who had pleasant childhoods. It’s a life cheat code.
Omg. What did your partner have to say? Did he help clean up?
I’ve done it to Hawaii, there was no other direct flight option from Melbourne. It was ok enough, but food options are rubbish, so I reckon buy your own at the airport and take it on the plane.
Petrol Spy shows the prices all over Melbourne. Sometimes prices vary wildly even in the same suburb.
It’s late and I’m not sleepy.
So sorry. I have a parent that went full extreme right wing conspiracy nutter during covid and has never come back. We don’t talk anymore, after much trying on my part and none on theirs. I have no advice other than look after your own mental health, because you probably can’t do anything about theirs. They have 100% certainty in their righteousness. I hope your situation is not as bad though. It’s rough, because it’s like loosing a parent. Actually, it is loosing a parent. You’ll grieve and wonder why. But you’ll feel better in time if you prioritise yourself. Took me too long to learn that.
