2012 model with ABS. Got it for under $4k. So far it hasn't gone all Italian and stopped working for no reason yet or pissed oil everywhere. Feels like it was a bargain so far.


Depending on what I sell my Suzuki bandit for, I may actually end up ahead.

Our staff development thing tomorrow night got cancelled along with all assemblies and excursions for the foreseeable future. We'll see if parent teacher night gets cancelled but I think it's unwise if it happens to go ahead. As a just in case measure I'm making sure that each of my classes has a google classroom and that the kids are enrolled. I'm selling it to the kids as a just in case measure cause I don't want to stress them out anymore than needed at this point in time.

The narrative for teachers was set last week though. The message was if teachers aren't teaching then nurses can't do their jobs. We as a profession are seen as baby sitters in the middle of all this and nothing more. It's a sad indication of our worth but given the teachers federation has been somewhat silent and not advocating for the profession as they should we're the poo poo kickers expected to make poo poo happen despite working in on of the biggest disease vectors that people come in contact with.

I'm kinda pissed off.

I work with the disabled in accommodation. Before I got made redundant I ran a few houses that are made up of people who are at high loving risk to Covid-19.

Since Jan until I finished up every week at the management meeting, I brought up that we need a plan. If it hits one of the residents it is going to be a massacre. Never mind that staff can't be expected to work in a house full of people carrying Covid-19 and take it home with them. I got told "we will cross that bridge when we get to it"

Covid-19 has hit the area and they have no plan. A former coworker called to let me know they are now panicking. I am glad I no longer work at that shitshow, but I am worried about the people I looked after for the better part of a decade.

At least you didn't just put $42k down on an off the plan apartment, a questionable decision even before the poo poo hit the fan.

Possibilities now seem to be:

-apartment is finished in October as planned and I won't be approved for enough financing because the value has plummeted
-apartment completion is delayed and I'm stuck in my apartment that I can't sleep past 5:30am in.
-apartment is never finished, company goes bankrupt and I never see my deposit

$42k was my annual salary for many years back in North America.

Centrelink also lets people on Newstart use their concession cards for pbs stuff now iirc so while that’s good as hell, it means the concession card doesn’t really carry any weight in of itself wrt vulnerable people or people that just can’t be expected to elbow off some oval office for bread

My partner is somewhat immunocompromised because of the medications she is currently on due to a range of conditions. She is not valid to have a concession card because she works even if it less than what a standard person works and I earn too much for her to be considered. I didn't think it'd have an impact but her psychiatrist jumping from the public system to private practice means that each appointment now costs close $100 a go on top of the other specialists that she has to see in order to live a normal life.

Work has split all the teams into 2 sub teams with one team working from home and the other team in the office, the idea being that if anyone gets sick they cant spread it to everyone in the office.

Why this is preferable to having EVERYONE work from home, thereby ensuring that if someone gets sick, they can't spread it to ANYONE ELSE AT ALL, was not explained.

It would probably need to be 4 weeks.

I expect a lot of things won't re-open after the Easter break but we should be shutting everything possible down now. By Easter, thousands more people will have spread it around.

Same here. Half my team is currently overseas and will be self-isolated when they return, so I don't get to work from home because the senior technical guy and the bloke I report to won't be in the office.

Doesn't matter cos enough people keep coming in sick that we'll have a declared case during the week anyway, then everyone can work from home after they've already been exposed.

Apparently comes in 2kg bags of grey powder, someone on the forums must know the location and protocols for this stuff.

two one kilo bags, with a third bag of powdered egg stuff that you mix through with the flour. I heard that there is a completely separate supply chain for the two bags, so that no one external supplier knows what the other part of the recipe is


Lolie posted:

Me too, plus their gravy mix.

fun fact, the gravy is good because it's surprisingly made from exactly what gravy is supposed to be made from - the fatty chicken drippings from the bottom of the pressure fryers. The machines have a catchment tray at the bottom and when the oil is changed at the end of the night the cooks scoop out the 'fines' and bag it up, toss it in the fridge. Those get broken up and mixed with boiling water and potted every few hours.

[edit]

Severing posted:

Unless its changed since I worked there it comes as a bag of greenish spice mix that you add to powered egg stuff and flour. There is a shitload of salt and pepper in it.


The good gravy mix is actually all the poo poo at the bottom of the pressure deep friers they remove when they clean them. The bland, watery mess is what you get when they run out of that stuff and make it from pre-mix gravy.
