Y'know, if America gets to have military bases in Australia, and gets to arbitrarily decide to go to war in a way that fucks us over, and gets to influence the outcome of our elections in ways that benefit them, I really reckon we should get a say in their elections, too.
It's only fair.
Nothing better than waking up to the smell of smoke, only to find out it's actually just the otways fire and your flat isn't sealed at all against particulates from outside.
Agreed. Really appreciate it, fingers crossed all goes well.
Won't lie, definitely considering completely slacking off between now and my last day. After all, they don't intend to keep me, so why put my all in?
Thanks mate. It'll be rough seas for a minute, but I'll find something.
Second day back at work, called into boss's office and told they're not renewing my contract into a permanent role. Two years at this workplace, pushing myself to my absolute limit, but I guess because I don't regularly work past 5 (coming in well before anyone else mind you), I'm not keeping my job.
It'll be fine in the long run. We have some savings. But goddamn. Not looking forward to going on Jobseeker, hopefully I can get something quick.
Mernda/Hurstbridge lines broken, recommend walking home
That's actually perfect, mate! We've never been, but it's definitely the right vibes for what I initially planned to do! Thank you so much for your help!
That's an excellent point, thanks mate! Edited the above, but we're in the inner north, Mernda/Hurstbridge train lines.
Hey fellow Lemmylings(?). Last week I did Run Melbourne and managed to cut open my foot whilst running (not sure how), limiting my ability to walk. Thing is, I was going to propose to my partner on Saturday and was going to do it during a hike to one of our favourite places.
Given I can't walk, that's not all that doable anymore. Annoyingly I've booked various other things around the engagement.
Any ideas for proposals that wouldn't require significant walking? We don't have our own transport, but are willing to Uber if need be. Thanks everyone!
Flinders trains broke, anyone know why?
Anyone know how to drain a kitchen sink that's been fucked over by storms? Damn thing stopped draining water today. The last time I did washing up was three days ago, and I draino'd it yesterday.
UPDATE: Cleaned out the sink, pulled apart the pipes and cleaned them too, still not draining properly. Wandered outside to dump a fucktonne of dirty sink water, and found a great big fuck off pool of old water and shit that had flooded out of the grate downstairs. The storm dumped somewhere around 20mm of rain directly on my side of the building, so best guess is the pipes flooded.
Notes for those wondering: second floor apartment in a small, two storey block of units - 70s style brick flats. Toilet and shower are on their own pipes, with kitchen sink and washing machine on the other set (the flooded one). My next stop I believe is the agent, as this is well outside of my control. Hopefully though it all drains out over the next couple days - I don't own a dishwasher, so dishes have gotta be done by hand.
