Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Sometimes you’ve just tried so, so hard, and thought you’d done the best you could, and it still isn’t enough… and you’re so over it that then there is a flooding of relief when you accept that that’s all you can do, and it’s okay to rest, and stop trying to work so hard, and refocus.
When a bunch of bills come out and I’m left with negative $28 in the bank until Friday.
disclaimer: not asking for donations, just ranting and whining lol
Edit: swallowed my pride and asked Dad for help again. I wish I was dead ffs
You’ll be fine, you could buy 12kg of potatoes from Coles with that and still have $1 left over!
Oh I don’t have $28; I have negative $28 lol. I’m thinking I’ll create an onlyfans… seems like I might actually need a side hustle…
Oh, I missed the “negative” bit! That’s a bit harder. Maybe you could set up an onlyfans with a live potato feed. That constant tension of never knowing exactly when the potato is going to be popped into the microwave and then consumed, it would draw tons of people in surely.
Boss asks us to think up project work for us to do.
Why would I want to think up more work for myself?
It’s because the boss has no idea what to do, so it’s on you now. And if you can’t think of something, then you’re not doing your job (in boss’s eyes).
So I’ve got this project planned where I do nothing for a bit, and then I feel a bit better. Also I make sure to take bathroom breaks on the clock.
It’s a bit early to go so deep and I usually give pretty bad advice, but this time is different.
If you’re getting married, don’t get your parents to pay for it.
My bro is getting married soon, p’s are paying and what I’m seeing is not great. It creates a very odd dynamic.
It’s a supremely bad idea.
Is it because they think that contributing money buys them a controlling say in how the wedding goes? That’s not cool, and it’s certainly no gift.
I think 2/3rds of the guests are my parents’ buddies heh. There’s a clash about guestlist, food, seating, font on the invitations…
I think the control will go beyond the wedding. You’re not calling enough, coming over for dinner enough etc… which my guess will lead to a bit of resentment and regret.
We paid for our own wedding, and it was the best decision. MIL wanted to pay for it, but that would have meant she runs the show. Sidelining her was very satisfying as she had no control over anything.
I’d say the same even extends to things like houses the way I’m seeing it pan out with a few friends of mine… Sucks because parents are the only way they’re able to afford a home
Mr Peeler would agree. He bought a house with his mum years ago, and it was his home to live in, they lived a couple of suburbs away. She felt it was her right to go in, use her key, no notice or knocking, anytime she damn well pleased. It caused a massive rift which echoes to this day.
I made brownies last night and they turned out pretty good, so I took them into work to share. When my bf messaged me to say he was having a shitty day, I packaged up some of the brownies and they’re now traveling via uber to him and I’m SO nervous something will go wrong. IDK. Shhhh, brain, just let yourself do something nice without freaking yourself out!
Edit: Brownie delivery went well! Yay!
