We don’t all live on farms any more where kids are needed to help with the work. Although having been forced to work at the family business after school every day for zero pay was pretty shit.
To help heal their trauma but to fail terribly as a parent and the kids end up with mental health issues due to neglect and abuse. Don’t have a kid because your life is shit. I plead with you.
I tried to get cash out with a purchase at woollies for the first time with a new card - debit Mastercard. It failed 3 times, I tried credit and savings- no go. I gave up and just tapped for the grocery purchase and left.
Called the bank to ask wtf and apparently I’m supposed to select “cheque”. Wtf, it’s not a cheque account and I have no cheque book.
Had a manager go on about all the collab and help he got when starting out at the company and how important the connections are etc.
Someone else pointed out that if you can’t get help using MS teams then you have a problem. Plus it’s 2023 - no need to stuck to old ways of work.
When I’m in the office, I’m wearing headphones to try and block the noise from the random hot desking people from random parts of the business all talking loudly on teams calls. The business has multiple physical locations in various states hence the teams calls. There’s no chatting or “water cooler” talk.
I cannot work in these conditions nor do I want to spend 2 hours each way commuting to waste my day like this. It’s my personal hell.
Yep. Took them to fairwork, self represented and got a payout. My favourite part was being asked if their lawyer was able to stay at the hearing, and of course I said no.
I had a diary of events, well documented. Waited until I was made redundant then lodged the case.
Can you get a patient advocate in hospital?
I know some states have rules about patients asking for help after being refused.
I’m sorry you’re going through this, I spent years getting diagnosed with gastroparesis after many dismissals from specialists who didn’t even do the basic test. Was also told it’s stress, anxiety, psychological etc.
Anyway peg/j tubes are fairly standard things if one can’t eat /digest properly, what is their pushback reason on those?
Chronic pain is a hard problem to solve, pain specialists are super expensive and just seemed to push infusions or other medications rather than trying to work out the source. I had no success with them tbh. Have you read “explain pain”? (Apologies if you’re already aware of this and it’s not helpful).
Turns out dogs can’t entertain themselves even with many acres to play on. He stole my shoes and chewed them up. Yesterday he got the insect spray that my husband left at the door and chewed off the nozzle.
Dog doesn’t want to be outside but doesn’t want to be inside in his playpen either. Sigh. He also trashed every bed I’ve bought him.
