Once again, big thank you to a couple of posters here that have helped me out of a bad situation.
I haven’t named them in case they prefer to stay anonymous, but guys, you are absolute bloody legends!!! I never heard back from that reference guy. He legit just disappeared off the face of the earth…
Are you in the clear yet as far as references go?
Not cool that your previous reference guy disappeared :(
Thankfully a poster has offered to speak to the recruiter for me tomorrow 🙂
In fact a couple of posters offered to lend a hand, for which I am incredibly grateful and quite honestly humbled. Without the help of some of the people in this forum, I would not even be in consideration to start work next week.
I’m sure people here won’t let you down but if there is an emergency I can try to help though I’m not in the field of IT and I’ve never been a reference for anyone before so I’d need some help or coaching.
Please let us know what happens, we would all love to see everything work out for you.
I can say this honestly and without hyperbole: this place and the people in it have had a significant positive impact on my life. Thank you everyone for all your help, advice and care during the last 6 months.
I am so incredibly grateful that we have this place to hang out ❤️
And thank you for trusting us, for sharing your story and for sharing Gibson with us. 💖😘
Oh, wow. So last week I explained the situation with my current school to the lady from the TAFE. She asked around and has been able to organise for me to start before my unenrolment is officially processed. I have missed the intake date now which was yesterday evening.
But she just sent me the enrolment paperwork I need to sign, and once I’ve done that, she said I can just organise a phone call with the teacher to catch up on what I missed and can start next Tuesday!
Holy fucking shit, it’s wild how things go from 0-100 so quickly. I was about 75% expecting to not start until the next intake, but it’s going to finally happen…
Edit: bloody hell, today must be the day of things happening because I just got a call from the police about the report I made 8 days ago
This is fantastic news!! You deserve all the good things, and this is such a great journey to start! You got this!
So happy to hear of some good news and supportive organisations! Educational institutions can be surprisingly understanding about these things
After some awful sleep bathed in sweat and feeling like my brain was going to explode from overheating and headaches, I still feel sick so another day off work. Grumble mumble moan. Today I’m not going to do stupid shit like try and read academic articles to catch up on uni stuff, I am properly resting.
Sick in solidarity. I’ve ben sick since Saturday. In my case its some dry cough thing. I’ve reached the point where it hurts my abs to cough.
Ouch, that sounds awful. Hope it clears up soon for you - I hope it doesn’t get that bad for me. I rarely get respiratory problems. I’ve got a light dry cough/sore throat that seems to be on the mend, mostly moved back to headaches/congestion, which was what I started off with on Saturday, hopefully the worst is over…
I’m so grateful that the kids can get themselves up, make their own breakfasts and lunches and get themselves off to school without me. Even as recently as a year ago, I would have needed to get up and facilitate that.
Small wins. Almost belongs in the gratitude thread. 😃
I don’t wanna 😪😴🥱
