I am very confused by this new platform but I managed to bumble my way here from reddit. Hi DT! I missed you.

i was primarily a lurker and very rare contributor on the old DT but this place seems nice. hello! i thought i loved watching internet drama unfold but turns out not so much when it impacts the communities i frequent.
I’m very much enjoying the DTs. I was just a lurker over at the old place and it feels lovely to be actively part of this community. Thanks guys! 😊😊😊😊
I think there might be a few of us who were mostly lurkers on the other sub. I’m enjoying this new place, so additional thank you from me too! 🙂
Welcome! How’s your day going?
Pummeled by my physio, what a morning. Got a cheese, Vegemite and paprika scroll for breakfast tho!
Stress leave letter achieved! Ya boy is laying low for a couple of weeks to gather his thoughts.
Good for you for asking (and getting)!
🖤
Nice! I asked for more time off yesterday as well to give me some more breathing space. Savings might take a bit of a hit, but I’m not going to be a good employee for another month or two at least.
While I did say earlier it was good to see the DT once again on r/melbourne, I figured it might be best to make an account here on the Aussie Zone so I can read up on happenings over here as well. Hello, once again, !melbourne.
I’m not sure why anyone would want to use the Reddit DT after seeing the content from who is left over there vs here. I kinda don’t want most of them to come over, the vibe here is too good lol
We found a safe place
Mostly been a lurker on r/melb; my god it’s now a dog’s breakfast over there there. So glad I moved first thing when aussie.zone popped up.
Which reminds me, I should really donate some coffee money towards the server costs.
Haha it didnt take long for it to turn to absolute shite
It’s because the best peeps are here 😊
I had a quick flick through, and it feels like even the 3 or 4 regulars who haven’t come over have gotten really aggro too
I just woke up
I’m lovin’ these ditties
Fuck it’s cold
Oh my poor titties.how i wish
i have some kittiesThere is no time
No time for pitiesBut we always have
a moment for witties

Years ago, I would have been raging against the injustice of this bs. I guess I’m no longer in my youth, cause right now I’m more than happy sitting this one out and just watching from the side lines. Growing up feels strange.
I go to Coles because I love the joint. I love fucking searching for shit that should be there but it’s not. So I have to make a right hand turn into the carpark and there’s some wank coming out trying to make a right hand turn in to my street. He starts beeping. I wind down my window and yell “oi what are you doing mate. You’ve got a stop sign”. His arms start screaming at me. I let the dickhead go because I’m polite and he puts his foot down and nearly takes out the car travelling straight. Urgh fuck me.
Today is the day I ask my doctor for a cert for stress leave and I’m so nervous I feel ill. I really want to ask for a full two weeks, but I feel like that’s a lot to ask for just off the cuff. It would be the perfect amount though and I would get to skip my night shift rotation which is desperately what I need.
Mate ask for two weeks. If you don’t ask, you don’t receive.
Tell the doctor what you feel you need. If you are stressed it is from putting your job ahead of your own needs, and you won’t get better by continuing to do the same thing. Better to have the two weeks you need now than have half the time now and four weeks later because you didn’t allow enough time to recover the first time.
Ask for what you need! You’ve got this!
Asking for things can be hard but you got this! You know what you need, advocate for yourself! Hugs 😊
When I’ve discussed this with my GP before, they said one week for sever stress might help, but it’s really not enough. Hope your GP takes the same approach and gives you the time you need.
I just discovered Aussie.Zone has a pictures community. I’m going to share some of my favourite Aussie holiday snaps there. It would be nice to get a bunch of photos in there from all over Australia, expecially if they have a bit more local flavour rather than just the aussie landmarks. So I’ve started with some bats from the colony on the Yarra.
can you link it? i’m coming from lemmy.workd and it’s not coming up in a search
I’m on Lemmy.one and noticed this as well, if I understand this correctly,
sometimes if your instance doesn’t recognise the community in search it’s because no one has searched that from your instance before.
It could take a few goes of reloading the page and search again for it to work.
I recently searched for Sydney community from my instance and nothing came up until like the 8th try.
So apparently a sub has disappeared en route to the Titanic site.
I hate to say it, but…everyone on it is likely dead
They could just be meeting up with Harold Holt
I just hope their deaths were quick and they aren’t still alive and panicking
ABC news was saying that there was theoretically still about 70-90 hours of oxygen left in the sub.
They lost contact fairly suddenly half way down. There’s only oxygen left if the structure is still intact, which…may not be the case
True. If so, then it would be quick due to extreme water pressure and very very ugly. Don’t envy the people attempting to retrieve the sub though. Underwater accidents at depth are very very ugly.
Just heard this on the news! I want to hope they’re okay, but wow. I can’t imagine what that would be like for anyone involved.
I feel worst for their families - I can only imagine what they’re going through now. I really hope it was quick for all involved
I read somewhere that it has enough oxygen for 4 days, but I don’t know how they will find it or bring it to the surface if they do.
yeah
Hey DT, nice to see you all 🥰 I have no idea what I’m doing!!!
