Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
My main accomplishment for today is that I pulled myself out of my doom / inaction / depresso / obsession spiral and made dinner rather than eating leftovers or toast (or worse, nothing).
Easy stir fry noodles, with frozen veg and some mock chicken and mock char siew I splurged on at Minh Phat the other day. Red rice noodles from my mum, and chilli-garlic-ginger paste premade using my own garden chillies (frozen while I was away).
Dinner on Sunday night was an epic effort of making three curries almost at the same time. Dal (with tadka made separately), tempeh/eggplant/capsicum dry fried with spices (first two items fried separately), and a decadant mock mutton coconut curry. All that exhausted me, far out.
Former boss reached out to me last week to gauge my interest in returning to a place I worked at years ago.
He was the reason I left so I’m not sure how I feel. I gave them an exorbitant price tag for my return and some other conditions and let’s see what they say.
Been there, done that, good money, killed my mental health and relationships.
I’m not saying don’t do it, just make sure you can recognise the symptoms when it starts affecting other areas of your life.
100%
Last time I left I had enough of the boss and his ways. That was discussed yesterday (not with him, but with my old colleagues that are still there). Apparently he’s changed a bit but probably not enough.
I remind myself why I left in the first place and that money ain’t everything.
I found a bank letter outside with no envelope and the replacement card missing (could see the imprint)… went over to my neighbour’s place to let someone know only to see a further bunch of her mail opened and strewn in a pile.
Fortunately I still had her daughter’s number and let her know in case someone was draining her mum’s bank account or stealing her identity. Then I gathered the other opened mail and hid it behind something so other people wouldn’t grab it. That’s so shitty. She’s a sick old woman. I found the original near my own letterbox so wondering if the pricks have stolen any of my mail 😰
Edit: To clarify the bank letter with the missing/stolen card was addressed to this neighbour. I went to talk to her family about it because a few years ago she had a stroke
That’s so good of you! Our mail boxes are regularly pillaged. It’s the worst.
RIP fruit salad, you were gonna be delicious and RIP favourite baking bowl.
oh noes my paypal account has been referred to collections!! shall call their number provided to make payment yes yes
-_-
Yeah well, the Australian Tax Authority has issued a warrant for my arrest in WA.
Who’s the greater mastermind criminal huh?
All I’ve got is unpaid tolls and a medical insurance account that’s about to expire, feel like I’ve accomplished very little in life :(
Don’t worry. When Australian Postage contacts you about uncollected packages you know you’ve made it.
