Just sent a client proposal which took a long time to complete and I know I’m being pitted against one other business for this work. Fingers crossed it comes through to me, but we’ll see. The other business is far more established / has a team of staff so it feels like I can’t compete, but I gave it a real crack. I’ve had a few proposals fall through recently which has knocked my confidence a bit (but at least they were quick to prepare), I really hope this one doesn’t end up a huge waste of time.
Gotta be in it to win it! Best of luck🤞
Good luck, I hope you get it!
goodnight everyone
sweet dreams 😘
Good morning friends 🌞

I have one quiz and one oral presentation until I’m finished with this certificate! And I’ve done most of that quiz anyway, just stuck on question that the teacher had acknowledged is poorly written haha.
But after Friday, after this presentation, I’ll be done! Then I just need to find a job (any tbh) so I can pay to get lessons for driving, then I can apply for more animal industry jobs.
Everything is coming up thrillhouse!
yay 😄
Yass! 💪🏻
That’s fabulous, you’ve done so well.
One step at a time and you’ll have it all done under no time!
Wooo!
Goodnight all ❤️
Copying a comment I made in the r/ sub the other day and remembered this joint. So… Here goes
Sup DT? Can I ask a very controversial question on a perhaps controversial subject (depending on who you are and perhaps political leanings).
Pride Month… This question is perhaps aimed at those within the LBGT+ community, do you like Pride Month, or do you think that it’s becoming a bit forced and you just wish society would move on and just treat you as a regular ol’ joe/jane?
Because as a straight man, whilst i’m not annoyed or angry or REEEEE about corporations/game developers or whatever with their Pride Month celebrations, I feel like it’s pretty rude to highlight a month for a group of people who just want to be treated like anyone else, and not be put on a platform every june?
I apologise if this comes off as rude, or as a “a straight man talking about pride month stuff”. I support LBGT stuff as much as the next person does.
I’m generally opened minded and progressive, I also work with someone who is in a same sex marriage closely.
I don’t mind it. My exposure of it generally comes from sporting events where many other topics are celebrated and I think it’s needed to highlight the importance of people being recognised out there and also the problems that still exist within society.
It was only a couple of months ago that The Trumpets of Patriots were running a hate campaign and it was utterly disgusting and tried to mirror Trump’s 2 gender campaign.
Until these things stop and discrimination totally stops it’s still needed for education and tolerance.
That’s just my take on things.
Interesting. I think LowExperience has made a couple of very good points here. There’s still more to do, and while there is, then having a dedicated time period to highlight the issue has some value. I find rainbow washing or black washing or green washing etc. fairly disgusting, mostly because of the exploitation factor. But then, the advertising industry and generally commerce is built around finding a demographic and targeting it. You can’t blame pond scum for being green and slimy, its just how it is, and if it wasn’t like that it wouldn’t be pond scum.
I answered this in the other place already, so I won’t repeat myself
How have the answers thoughtfully provided to you so far influenced your opinion?
I high-key love your low-key sass 🙌🏼
Okay so for context on my opinion I’ll state I am bisexual and non-binary.
I don’t participate in pride month, but I also don’t theoretically mind if game Devs/corps make it a big thing either. My sexuality has been erased or sexualised, bi ladies are “sluts and cheaters”, bi men are “closet gays and cheaters” as an example of the rhetoric that is common. There are lesbians and gays who just think we haven’t “decided”, which is wild, wild stuff. Then considering how much abuse the community suffered/suffers because of powerful bigoted dickheads or just the government’s of the past (and in some countries it’s current governments), I like that the entire LGBTQ+ spectrum is kept in people’s minds, that we can’t assume we know a person’s character because of who they love or how they see themselves. We’re free (at least in Aus) to love who we love and be who we are and that should be celebrated. I’ve been personally told that I’m not actually bi because I’m with a man (I’m AFAB), but I don’t think it’s necessary to tell them my partner’s self-ID just to clear that up or prove that I’m “worthy” of the queer alphabet soup.
On the other hand, capitalism. Companies make more money the broader their audience is, so being openly pro-LGBTQ+ and having rainbow merch or game skins means they increase their sales and profit. Then you have people who make it their whole damn identity without, like, developing their character or experiences.
I appreciate the added visibility, I dislike that it’s capitalist companies doing it for profit or clout.
Welcome back to this fun little corner of the internet!
I personally see pride as a celebration of one’s sexuality / gender identity, particularly in a society where heteronormativity is prominent, and we still have people who won’t accept others due to them being LGBTQIA+. I like how it empowers people to celebrate an important aspect of their identity. I don’t like how companies participate in rainbow washing.
As with other events that are around advocacy, like NAIDOC Week, I do think we’ve got to do more than just have a week or a month for these sorts of things. But I’m glad pride exists. In some countries, it’s frowned upon or even illegal to be queer.
Welp I just did the stupidest thing.
Was trying to find something and thought I had packed it into a box or cupboard so I’ve torn the place apart trying to find it.
2 hours later I give and look on my recliner and find I put it there last week and forgot about it.
🤦♂️
Hi everyone, here’s your reminder it is actually Tuesday and not Monday at the start of this working week.
It’s been a bit of a lazy day today, but I have gotten the new garage remote programmed and put up the outdoor security cameras. I can now check if anything is happening out the front of the house without leaving my couch.
I’m trying to summon the enthusiasm to do a bit more unpacking/sorting. I’m heading back to Melbourne tomorrow to pick up another load of stuff, hopefully I can at least get the remaining things from the fridge/freezer and the most important things from the shed.
Nearing the end of looking after hambam.
Seen a big shift in behaviour over the last 3 and a bit weeks. All it took was wearing him out and giving him more off lead freedom.
I’ll miss his burps and random little sleep / dream woofing throughout the night.
Love long weekends, hate the weeks after.
Cannot be arsed with anything today.
I worked real hard on the long weekend, I am so tired even my hands and fingers are tired
I did a bit on Saturday and caught up with some friends Sunday. Yesterday was a bit of a write-off as a result.
Hence today I can’t be stuffed with things.
I sentence you to a day of rest
Slept terribly last night because a work thought popped into my brain at 11pm and I spent the rest of the night stressing, despite reminding myself that in that moment, there was nothing I could do to change the outcome.
Vegetable and bean stew for dinner last night and for lunch today. My musical contributions are… not very welcome in the office. But the stew is so full of goodness! 2 carrots, 1 large swede, 1 small parsnip, 1 whole leek, a small stick of celery, tomato paste, and just 1 medium potat. But like 2 cups of dried kidney beans. I’ll just have to go on strategic breaks…
That stew is the definition of ‘hearty’.
Did the job with filling up my gut with all the required goodies that will now be processed accordingly.
Dinner is gonna be a greasy fried rice to offset all that goodness
Today’s late start brought to you by the twit who tried to drive a B double under the Newmarket bridge
