Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
I’ve officially moved into my new place. It’s so different and feels so normal. Like… there’s just (sharp) knives out in an unlocked area, that’s not something I’ve experienced (save for maybe hotels and such) in about 5 years
It’s so bittersweet, obviously it’s more bitter than sweet at the moment and I’m a bit of a mess. But there’s a lot to like about this house, and the freedoms that come with living here. I think the best part is just that the people I’m living with all seem respectful, and that’s already leaps and bounds ahead of how things have been in my last place over the last few years
Woohoo! Can’t imagine making a big house move with gastro. You’re a trooper!
(I also wrote a bit more info here, if that helps)
hugs and congrats . This is wonderful, you will shine in your new position and home. 🤗🤗🤗
Hooray! You’re finally in. Proud moment mate, we’re all with you. You’re going to be fine.
Hi everyone thanks for all the kind replies yesterday, I really appreciate them all ♥️
I’m okay, the reason the nurse on call (which is a fantastic service btw) wanted me to go to the ER was (I’ll try and be brief, to spare you all the grossness), because they thought there might have been bile in my vomit. The ER confirmed I probably don’t, and ruled out any appendicitis or serious bowel/stomach issues. They think I probably have gastro, which is shit, but I’ll be right in a few days. They also gave me an anti emetic so I was able to have a rest
I’m back off to sleep, but I should be right. Thanks again everyone for your well wishes 🫂
Thanks for updating us. Gastro is no fun at all, so make sure you look after yourself.
I am glad it is nothing serious, Baku, I was worried. Keep warm and take care, thinking of you 💜💜💜
Nurse on call are great! I called them when I was having issues with a medication and they were super nice and chill. Glad to hear you’re okay Baku! 💖💖💖
I said I wasn’t going to diarise here anymore - but as an update, I have had a phone interview this morn, and have an in-person 3rd interview booked for Wednesday.
That’s all.
Apologies for the interruption, please continue and mind me not. 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️
I knew you when you were Studcrud so don’t forget me when you’re rich and famous. ☺
I’ve kinda stopped journalling, cos I’m finally finished most of my planned stuffs. Move, transition, work out how I’ll deal with transition, get sober, quit shit workplace and toxic industry, get new job, start exercising again. I’m still around and replying though and still read all your poems. Not going anywhere. Can’t wait till I hear about you getting some work.
Is it a job interview? I like hearing people getting interviews lined up. Gives me hope the job market isn’t dead.
Yep. Looking for phone monkey work bc I hate myself. But yeah, both are for interesting companies in industries I haven’t worked before, so I am curious to see how far I get with either of them.
Here’s something I never thought I’d get to say: I got to rescue Bluey. My neighbors have a Blue Heeler. They also have young kids so of course, she’s named Bluey. Anyway somehow she got stuck out the front and no one was home, so I went over and helped her out. She was terrified till I reminded her we’ve met before and she was like “OH! You’re a friend! Awesome!” and gave me lots of pats.
Monday morning in the office is actually pleasant for once. The group of cackling hyenas is nowhere to be heard.
Blissful
I’ve started going in Wednesdays since I basically have the place to myself. Its amazing.
I don’t seem to have the rowdy crowd at my work either, today. It is rather pleasant. Hopefully tomorrow will be the same.

I hate the Hyena’s at my work. Very little self awareness and obsessed only with themselves.
I’m fine with people being loud in the lunch room and such but having a loud chat at someone’s desk and distracting others is a big no-no. One of our directors is on my side and has been sending reminders on proper office behaviour (as per our guidelines). Not sure if the hyena pack read them or not.
I remember this one time a staff member and I were watching a video quietly and one of the hyenas got annoyed at the video music and asked to turn it off.
Moments later the Hyena cackles and laughs many times louder than what we were watching on our phone.
I’ve never forgiven her for that because she doesn’t care about anyone but themselves.
