mong summer dream (now featuring added winter, also spring)

i kinda screwed myself by leaving my last job halfway through despite racking up 11 years (6 + 5 with 3 months in the middle) at that shithole

having said that it was literally the only way i could get a decent payrise there

Yeah that blows :( I mean at this stage, i should have been able to celebrate two lots of LSL, but ive never had any, thanks to the IT industry shafting people so comprehensively that ive never worked anywhere longer than 6 years.

I'm half expecting to hit 10 years at my job and be told "long service? we dont do that here dont be stupid".

you could ask, let's say, now instead of then

(not sure if legal, but in 4 years ive never had any CPI increases to my pay)

lol because of never having spent a full year acting in my actual substantive position (and various HR and managerial dickery), last week I got my first annual in-role increase ever....... and then it turned out they'd lost the year before's paperwork so they had to do a new one with a backdated increase on that too °\^_^/°

ps jim can you make sure we're non-indexed

we are

jim'll fix it

Yeah Im not saying its unfair or unusual, its sadly more usual than ever now thanx to contracting and whatnot. N gets a CPI increase every year AND a freaking bonus of several thou. But I wouldnt want to do what he does for a living tbqh.

with 18 weeks of leave up my sleeve, this means that I will hit long service and can probably take a year off next year (w/ six mos at half pay).

Fucken go overseas. I was able to *save* money when I took my LSL & holiday pay while living it large in Germany. Of course, now I have nothing to show for it.

Also Mazel Tov H. That was the best possible outcome we was discussing, no?

Fucken go overseas.

ran into QGP in the queue at Woolies yesterday

lol h. you disappeared on fri nite! how did you pull up?

I spent a large chunk o'the weekend playing video games and baking bread from scratch, how excitement.

it felt very "big baller eatin steaks everyday"

my addled brain can't quite remember what it was. something about st gertrude? sir something?

ah yes

what up fux

stressssss

school?

work

last day before leave, trying to finish a load of work before i go, failing

Work stress here, too, have several kinda mission critical (to them) customers who have vbeen screaming blue murder at me about internet LIFE OR DEATH OMG aaaand now I have to tell them T3lstra have completely rejected the relocation order because the buildin, 1 block up the road from their old bldg, can only get 4mb speed instead of 10. FFS. When is the NBN getting finished already. I am so sick of this mess of patchy shit.

...sorry only about 5% of that made sense, I imagine.

so sick of this mess of apache shit

I am so sick of this mess of patchy shit.

i said this to myself when going into a cubicle in the gents earlier

loool @ h dn

have decided to mine van she lols in the dns for the forseeable. have a TDF-themed one up the sleeve for when that kicks off

xxposts omg AA is it time for your LA holiday? (not to compound stress, lol)

NBN is fucked. Only coolsie (presumably Labor haven) suburbs are even planned at all at this stage.

they went straight from fucnswick to north shitzroy and skipped my area entirely. not that i give one (1) fuck as i am not planning to use it anyway

I mustardmit I don't really understand what it's all about.
