Cinderella went to the ball last night. Last minute invitation had me searching op shops for formal wear. I scrub up alright for $25

Finally a light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train. The centrelink social worker is recommending the debt be waived! Now I just wait for the review officer to make the decision. This should be the last I hear of #CrackHeadSteve

@tqft and you're still on the loose!

Waiting for the outrage posts on the community page over the rainbows in the mail room 😁

@tqft the developer. They submitted a concept plan for DA. Long story short they haven't got plans yet. I suspect they didn't want to risk the spending for something they know will likely be rejected

@tqft
Today's meeting
Them: we realise we need to improve transparency of the process.
Us: great! We'd like to see the proposed plans with dimensions.
Them: Oh we can't share that with you but once it's built you can see what it's like.
Me: we want to know what the intention is before it's built though. Once it's built it can't be opposed or have change negotiated.
Them: Exactly.
Us:..... soooo.... transparency?

Between dealing with Centrelink, NDIS, Council and Developers, my life currently feels like season 1 of Utopia.

@thegoldy it would be my honour to serve my people

Apparently you don't need to know how to park to get a licence.

@Kyna this is exactly how I would pronounce my new name 😁

I need a bit of cheer today to break the monotonous gloom in my life currently. So I'm sharing this...

We have a community lounge in our building. It's a fabulous space to host guests cos apartments are small. There's a bookings folder where you put your apartment number in the slot you'd like to book.

I host Mahjong games with neighbours here weekly. The lovely building manager has started filling in the slot for us but of course with 238 apartments to manage she began writing Mahjong in place of my apartment number cos she couldn't remember which one I am.

I looked in the folder to check if there was availability for another event I want to have and I noticed people are writing their first names instead of apartment numbers which has caused a headache for the manager cos she can't track who needs to pay their bond.

She identified a few and told them they need to write their apartment number not their name when eventually a tenant said "But that Mahjong person writes their name only every week."

They think my name is Mahjong. It's hilarious but I'm sticking with Friday for my nickname thanks.

They finally got their birthday cake after what had been a tough day #Cats #CatsOfMastodon

@ko thanks. He really did live his best life and all he ever asked was that we let him love us. We are so lucky to have had him ad long as we did

I can't remember the last time I saw my son cry like he did today saying goodbye to Pancho our 14yo cocker spaniel who has been his best friend since he was 5.

@DrFriendless I've found that when I tried I discovered I really don't like it

@tqft just gotta get through today and it will get better

Happy 3rd birthday to these two assholes #Cats #CatsOfMastodon

Its been a day.
Carers Qld informed me my LAC resigned and I currently don't have an LAC assigned to me which means my request for plan reassessment is now in limbo.

Stephen Bates' office as they're advocating for my debt to be cancelled, were informed by Centrelink that I've failed to make contact with a social worker so they can't proceed. Gaslighting liars. Of course I've provided evidence to the contrary.

Mullet Boy found out #CrackheadSteve spent all his money on meth again and now they're being evicted so we had the mad panic to find him accommodation which of course I'll need to pay the upfront costs for.

Someone who made me feel very uncomfortable and rather unsafe in a work setting has requested to speak to me privately. Of course I declined and said either with supervision or in writing only.

And I've just made an appointment for tomorrow with the vet to put my 14yo cocker spaniel to sleep because he can no longer walk.

I'm unable to get an advance payment from Centrelink while I have a debt of course so I'm carrying all the cost. Things are gonna be pretty tight around here for a while.

I'm gonna go for a swim

This is some solid advice for anyone doing home or yard renos. Think carefully about paying that minimum bidder on Airtasker. Chances are you could end up with Crackhead Steve doing a shit job that will cos you more to have redone by a professional.

And by Crackhead Steve I'm talking about Steven Wright from Kallangur who thinks he's a builder but he couldn't build a Woolies lego pack with the instructions

They seem keen for me to be awake #cats #CatsAreAssholes #CatsOfMastodon
