I read on the ABC it's because when we outsource work to the private sector, we also outsource the planning. So the private sector gets to decided timelines and the cost of everything as well
The bicycle users group had a family barbeque today. There was a ride before, but I knew taking the boys would have been enough. I didn't need to do another 20km on top of the 18 getting them there and back
I've seen jobs that just ask for a degree, not even a specific one. I've worked at a lot of places where everyone there has been to uni so it becomes more of a cultural signifier than anything
This is the only answer that makes sense, and with home projectors so accessible these days it would be easy to do.
But god, I'd want to show better movies then what people are selling on Facebook most of the time
What sort of madman tries to sell 380 DVDs in bulk. I don't care if it works out at less than a dollar a DVD, who says 'I'd like 380 DVDs please'?
No, this wasn't a redundancy. This was a performance based termination
Yeah, I knew I was at least getting two weeks pay. I'll be checking the fair work website but initial vibes are I got everything I was entitled to
I got paid all my leave. I thought I wouldn't get it because I was terminated, but it's all there. Trying to keep my leave was one of the main reasons I was trying to make my old job work, and I thought it would be a loss I'd just have to eat moving into the new role.
But I got it. I'm going to hold onto it because I probably won't get paid over Christmas, so I can hold onto the leave pay I'd have to use then anyway.
Maybe you always get your leave, because you've technically already earned it. I thought it didn't get paid out if you got terminated
I saw a video on the Microcosm, it looks very nice.
And yeah, the Helix can be more than a pedalboard or your rig in a box. It can almost be your whole studio on the go with all the things you can do with it. Get crazy on the outputs and blow everyone away with what you can do at an open mic with just your guitar and a single floor unit
That's where a decent recruiter can be really helpful. You talk to them and put your background in context and then they can advocate for you.
I've been placed by the recruiter that got me my upcoming role a couple of times. I had a 15 minute teams call with the client and they decided to pick me off that
If anyone would like a pretty chill career change, get familiar with the CMS Drupal and hit up recruitment agencies to become a 'Digital Content Specialist'.
It's free and open source. You could buy some web hosting and install it through cPanel, then do enough Youtube courses to put it on your resume. All Victorian Government websites are on Drupal, and so are some Federal ones. You might be able to get a plush gig copying and pasting content from word docs to websites.
I thought we invented machines to solve this problem and it was meant to be the best thing ever
You could add a slow attack synth pad to really fill in sections like the chorus of a song. The possibilities are endless with the Helix
This is for @Gibsonhasafluffybutt but why hide it from everyone else?
If you have a Line 6 user in your life, they put up a bunch of free patches on their blog and YouTube videos. Here's one for HX models that makes it sound like two rhythm guitars at once, the link to the chat is in the chat replay https://www.youtube.com/live/dMZBiG3sP70?si=u5ONG6dUYPXsI3Rq
I'm almost a little disappointed. I said to myself, 'this will be the project where I figured out github' and then it was too easy
Where are the best places to look for childcare roles?
My girlfriend has recently finished her Graduate Diploma in Childcare and is looking to become an ECT.
Is Seek the best option? I also found an aggregator page on the Victorian Department of Education and Training's website.
Are there other places good for childcare roles? Is contacting a centre you want to work for a good strategy?
I finally figured out how to download things from github today properly. I was always going to the source code and thinking I had to download dependencies and compile things.
Turns out you just go to Releases in the sidebar and it's all there. Now I can play the recomped version of Majora's Mask and use the Dark Souls gadget to fight bosses over and over again
This is great, who says you need a car
I'm so sorry to hear that. Sometimes when it rains with the bad news it pours
I didn't go for a walk but I took advantage of this lovely weather to give my bike a much needed wash
I have two laptops from old roles that never bothered to arrange collection. I gave one to the MIL so she has an actual computer and took one for myself as the linux test driver.
God, I remember those Nokia Windows phones. They gave Trevor in GTAV a windows phone to show how insane he was, it just dates the game to a specific time period now.
Who is Australia's gender neutral bathroom?
You know how people make jokes about Thatcher and Regan's graves being gender neutral bathrooms?
Who do you think qualifies, or will qualify, for that title here in Australia?
