Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
I was expecting not to receive my full pay rise this financial year regardless of meeting my performance plan because I haven’t been in this particular role for the full financial year… but I just got an email saying congratulations and that my pay rise is coming through on the next pay run along with backpay from July 1! Yay!!
Sometimes things just work out.
Sat outside Brunetti on Flinders Lane with a drink being Melbourne as fuuuuuuuck 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Had an MRI this morning, first time. I knew it was going to be an uncomfortable experience but I wasn’t expecting to feel completely stoned afterwards. Had to sit in the car for 20 minutes before I felt capable of driving home and even now I still feel a bit spacey. Might have a nap.
Thanks, should find out within 48 hours. Alarmingly one of the checks the referring neurologist requested was to see if I’d had a stroke :0/
Had one on my head when I had chronic migraines. Felt wack af after too.
On the other hand, I had one done on my ankle and was okay after. 🤷♀️
Did they identify a cause of the migraines? It was my head and neck, took about 20mins
Nothing in my head; theory is that the migraines were caused by psychological stress (was with my abusive ex at the time, and mum was just diagnosed with schizophrenia and refusing meds). My MRI and CAT scan were both clear, and the migraines cleared up when I left ex and mum haha
MRIs are so cool tbh, but I always freak out a little and ask the nurses if I’ve taken out all my piercings in case I missed one haha
Jaysus, didn’t they tell you to have someone come pick you up or drive you home? Not very responsible of the MRI provider I think. And bloody dangerous if you are going to be driving.
Windows are being replaced with double glaze today, at 7.30am.
Also have a combination of medicine issues with a lil bit of food poisoning. Makes for my first sickday 🤦♀️
On the brightside: i can call workforce today to remove the hold on my payment. Apparently not going to the employment training for the last two days of it last week (bc I gained FT employment) means I’m a bad dole bludger and must be punished with even more poverty ugh 🙄
oooo who’d you go with for the glazing? Pricing? We’re eyeing off between that and magnetite
I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you, it was organised via the body corp/our landlord; we’re just renters who were told they were coming to do the thing.
Actually, I just checked my emails and the body corp says the works were/are completed by Andreatta Group. No idea on pricing.
I’m really not adult enough for my job.
