Melbourne

have to tell my favourite stakeholders that i'm bailing on them (finish contract at end of next week). i've been procrastinating it all morning, not sure why i'm sure they will be good about it. email currently in draft with 'here's all this work for you oh btw seeya'

It's so silly but whenever I'm watching a nature doco and Australia gets no mention I get a little sad.

Watching a "What Happened?" video before work, it's about like what happened for x thing to stuff up royally. It's mostly about video games or consoles (I think he's done like video game movies and such?).

This one is about the GameCube, with a quote from the former Vice President of Marketing at Nintendo who says that the GameCube's colour "didn't feel masculine, I think. I remember us being very nervous at E3 that we were going to get bad press purely based on the color." Like Nintendo Japan liked the purple/indigo colour scheme but Nintendo of America hated it. With the former VP saying that they should do silvers and blacks, but "it wasn't that you couldn't bring out hardware that was a different color. It was just a very... 'female' looking color."

And man... I'm so glad that we as a society are straying from colours being feminine/masculine. I mean it still happens of course, but slowly, the younger generation is weeding that out. Thank goodness. Because purple is my favourite colour.

Fuck it’s cold

PINT-SIZED BASTARDRY EDITION

So for some reason the main person at my job agency said that the period I did the trial run for would be unpaid, and it seems like the ombudsman says unpaid Labor is fine within certain areas. But when I asked my job provider if I was getting paid, for the trial run that I would be and that it's illegal for him not to.

I'm a bit confused, and annoyed that it might be unpaid.

Edit: so okay it looks like I will be paid. It's just up to the boss man and I. Iunno, it's very confusing. Because I'm his first like in-house non contract/freelance person. It's a little different.

Bloody corporate training videos, using a big red gift box to symbolise a bribe to a politician.

Don't they know it's always an Aldi Bag filled with cash.

So r/Melbourne is back but the mods are having a temper tantrum so they've made it so you can only talk about Melbourne, Florida, USA? Those mods are fucking stupid

I had no idea I’d given out 200+ Community Awards on Rdt. Not sure how I feel about that now.

Did MelbourneAfterDark re-establish here?

no I’m not looking for a hookup
