Thankyou Mickey 🙏
I kind of just want to vegetate in the shower
Job offer has been rescinded after reference checks (which were glowing) because they didn’t feel one of my skillsets is strong enough - never mind that they didn’t even advertise for it and it was only lightly touched on in the interview process. Honestly feel relieved, albeit a little bit angry. Definitely got bullet dodged vibes.
Who does that? Consider everything before making the offer. Very sloppy, sounds like you dodged a bullet.
Absolutely dodged a bullet tbh. Had some unsure vibes to start with but was willing to take the chance because I need to make some changes!
I had that where a place asked for references then said they went with someone else with more industry experience. And I was just thinking “you knew that already, you have both our resumes.”
There is never any consideration on how much the interview process can be a waste of time for the candidate
Right?! Not to mention, if they wanted that skillset so bad, maybe put that on the ad?!
What a bunch of absolute fuckwits!
I’m making a strawberry cheesecake for the other half’s birthday which is tomorrow. Its totally okay for me to use the leftover strawberries as a spatula of sorts to scrape out the rest of the mixing bowl, isn’t it? To clarify, these leftover berries are straight into my belly.
It is efficient and eliminates waste. Do it
Less dishes… I like your thinking.
I’d be disappointed if you didn’t.
Quality control.
Three day weekend starting in 1h10m 🕓
Then is it beer time?
It might be 👀
Little dog has a perfectly good large dog bed with a quilt but he chooses to sleep on the couch under my couch doona. I nearly sat him this morning.
This is something I worry about when dog sitting my brother’s step-chihuahua
Oh no. Chihuahuas are easy to break.
My dog will escort me from the couch to the loo then when I get back under the doona, I don’t know he’s there, he moves like I’m Godzilla then he cracks the shits because I’ve disturbed him.
If a stranger is being / sounding rude to you, do you match their rudeness in return or try to kill them with kindness? I’ve had two such encounters over the past few days for some reason, used both approaches and felt unsatisfied each time.
I’m extremely hard to anger. I tend to empathise too much and if someone is being rude I’m pretty much just feeling sorry for them that they interact that way. I’d just try to de-escalate and politely stand my ground if they were trying to get something from me if it were unreasonable
I’m hard to anger, but can happy to shut rudely shut people down when needed… Generally I’m polite but will do a 180 immediately if someone acts up for no reason.
Depends on the context. I think it comes down to whether they’re being rude to you for no reason or if there’s a slight provocation.
I always give cars the finger if they get in the way on my bike at all. I want to drive home that anything they do wrong could have serious impacts for me no matter who was in the wrong.
I have what I call an “inner wog” that can be incredibly hostile under the right conditions. People being rude to me is one of them.
I rarely come across rude people but if I do I usually stare at them for a few seconds before I speak in an assertive tone.
I have said to people “Don’t speak to me like that. I didn’t speak to you rudely. You don’t speak to me like that”.
You are much more polite than me.
That’s the feisty arab in you.
I’ll fire back if I can be bothered.
You’re not wrong haha
Match their rudeness, and exceed if needed. Generally brings them down to earth quickly.
It depends on whether matching the energy would come back to bite you
Will Aussie zone be needing age verification?
You’d think the answer would be extremely obvious three months away from the laws taking effect.
They have indicated the following:
[eSafety’s engagement, compliance and enforcement priorities] will focus on platforms where there is the highest risk, considering factors such as the level of use by Australians under 16 combined with the presence of features and functions associated with the harms that the restrictions aim to prevent.
I think Lemmy (and reddit) meet the definition of the type of social media they want to age restrict. At least in Lemmy’s case, it would be extremely unlikely to become a priority for enforcement if it ever is.
I hope we fly under the radar.
This is such bullshit btw… notice how they’re doing nothing about gambling ads and alcohol ads.
Goodnight (at 8pm apparently) ❤️
Trying to allow for the usual shit sleep so I’m functional at 6:30am when I get up to get ready to meet old mate the director.
Apparently he’s British. I wonder if he loved The Bill and Are you being served as much as I did?
The vibe is weird today
The vibe outside is weird
Agreed.
It’s the upcoming full moon I reckon
MFW I’m making a slice and it calls for a full can of condensed milk, a block of cooking chocolate and seven full sized mars bars to be melted together.
thank fuck I’m expecting visits from a bunch of kids under 10
Oooh mars bar slice?
ayup. Think I fucked the condensed milk though, a bit grainy
It’ll be fine, enough chocolate in there to fix anything.
Also: six year olds
The best audience!
I use chatgpt for a lot of interview and study stuff. I didn’t realise it had a voice function where it speaks back.
It is fucking surreal.
Do you get to choose the voice & accent it uses?
Haven’t checked because it freaked me the fuck out lol
The voice had an American accent and sounded super realistic.
Last night’s sleep was 1 hour blocks instead of 2 hour blocks.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah lol
