Big stawm in Bendigo, headed our way. Lots of lightning.

Anyone ever had to fight an employer for unfair/constructive dismissal? Any tips/links/resources gratefully received

(not for me - for family member)

First thing is to document everything.

Then seek advice from a union if in one or fair work.

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.

Me: Does this bus have any suspension or is Bell Street Coburg bumpy as? Or is the driver kerb running? My bottom: same guy different haircut

Edit: speaking of bottom, someone put a curved piece of glass on one of the bus seats for someone to sit on. I removed it for safe disposal. Fuck that person.

Bell St Coburg is bumpy as. It's all the traffic going in the same lanes when crossing it - the tarmac gradually develops channels in the direction of traffic. Same thing on Hoddle St if crossing it at right angles. And St Georges Road. Bounce bounce as you go over the bumps. A car with good suspension doesn't notice it, but on a bus or a bike it can be a wild ride. No cure other than complete resurfacing which ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Mind you, there are some Dyson buses with square or triangular wheels I tell you true.

Finally some actual rain! The garden rejoices.

I followed up my fritter fiesta with a big batch of overnight oats - breakfast for the next two days plus 6 serves in the freezer.

I have cleaned the pet's water fountain and done a couple of minor repairs. I am very pleased with today's progress.

Whyyy do cafes insist on serving milk for tea in those useless milk "jugs" that don't have a pouring lip? They spill every time. Because they don't have a pouring lip and aren't designed to pour stuff.

Chooken is in the oven, I might relax tonight and do a jigsaw puzzle. I have a cool one of a map of Atlantis. ๐Ÿคญ

Butcher bird singing outside my window. They have such a lovely whistle tone. Noisy miners are not happy about it, the brave ones are attempting some screeching and swooping to dislodge the visitor, but from a safe distance so are not having much luck thus far. Suburban bird drama.

new dishwasher day. Thank god. I didnt realize how much we relied on it. We're washing the big stuff by hand, but given limited drying space (and the fact that the dishwasher died with a full load of dirty dishes) it feels like we're never gonna catch up.

Not the best weekend to go camping...so far just a minor leak, but I can't find where it's getting in...

Do I get up to go eat,
A toasty, midnight treat
A tasty, savoury treat?

But I'm so comfy;
It's kinda funny
How I'm too lazy
To feed my belly.

My little back garden has turned into a bit of a nursery, and as a result, there are a few young children screaming about the independence that's being forced upon them. There's also quite a few looking a little wet and upset by the current downpour, so I have propped the table tarp up a little so they may shelter.

Surely it's a good omen where despite unsurprisingly waking up late from sleeping at 2am in the morning, the tram arrives exactly as you're walking to your stop - so I'll only be 10 minutes late to get me carshare. And then! Let the driving begin!
