Seeing the use of AI in legal system in the Supreme Court of Victoria first hand is really something.

We have rats in our bathroom ceiling, I don’t think I can ever have a shower again.

What do we do? 😩

Inconvenienced by a pro-Palestinian protest?
Here’s a useful tip:
Use the short pause to ask yourself how inconvenienced you’d feel if your neighbouring state bombed your house, your kids’ school, all hospitals, killed many of your friends, and stopped the supply of food.

Good to know.
Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.
Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

So I need to earn some money, if you are in Melbourne and need a dog sitter for your chill fur kid, I am your gal. 💗🐶
This gig worker thing is pretty harsh. My fault, I listed my services too cheap. Dog sitting for a day, and all I get is $20?!!!!! I love dogs, and this one is very sweet…but that’s so little money. Hubby reminded me, that’s a home cooked meal I just earned. 😅

Changing my LinkedIn profile to “Open to work” when I was still employed in a toxic workplace.
What have you been told is “unprofessional”?

Less than this is an impeachable offense in South Korea.

I would really like to be employed. Hell, I would even love to have an interview…for anything.

Josie is an awesome human who is doing something very exciting, but she needs a little help. Consider a small donation if you can? 💕
Hi folks,
As some of you know, I'll be getting my gender affirmation surgery at the start of July. I'm very excited and quite nervous, and also it's going to cost me roughly nine quadrillion dollars, so I've got a donation drive going for anyone who would like to help out.

1/3
Support Josie's Gender Affirmation!
Well, the time has finally come for me to go and get my big gender-affirming surgery. This is a big step, but it’s one that’s been coming for a while and one I’m really excited about!

I’m over 50 and I decided that I have waited too long to be brave enough to do a martial art. In line with my K-everything obsession I am starting Taekwondo tonight. I am ready to feel like a total n00b. 🤣

I am not an Albo fan girl but when he shhhh‘d people for booing when he mentioned Dutton‘s name and said “Stop…Stop…In Australia, we treat everyone with respect”, my opinion of him jumped considerably. 👏
