Society & Culture Your first world problems

The blatant disregard for your time companies have when you're applying for jobs with them. Included in this is online applications which ask for your resume and then ask you to list everything in it anyway. And it's always in different fields so it's not a mass copy/paste type situation.

"See attached resume"

"See attached resume"

“All fields are required to be filled in”

“All fields are required to be filled in”

Yep, and if you paste in each field: "Refer to CV for details, attached" the gatekeeper the fields, who is someone who doesn't care whether the position is filled or not, let alone whether it's filled with the best candidate will just remove you from the pool.

I had one mob that offered me a job, which I accepted verbally, then said: "Oh we need you to pass two background checks before you can start. They typically take 2-3 weeks each, and the second can't start until the first is completed".

Thankfully in that case I was able to counter with: "I'm currently active in the market and will remain so until someone gives me an acceptable contract, which I'll take" and I started on the Monday. But their next starter? Started 6 weeks after the offer was made. It's bullshit.

That's... More than a first world problem.

Packet of salami I buy used to come with 8 slices of salami, now it only comes with 7 slices of salami.

Means that last toastie only has 1 slice of salami instead of 2

Bet it costs the same, same profit for less product

Would be due to commodity prices. Meat around the world is nuts at the moment. So, they would have made the call on either increasing the price of decreasing the weight.

Lockdowns..

Trying to decide which job I should take, got two solid offers plus a few other opps that I'd probably get. I can't really make a bad choice, they're all good options, still want to back the right horse though.

I have emergency Hearty Beef soup. Normally have them if I get gastro but also fill the spot when I don't want to cook or order anything.

The home-brew ingredients I ordered not arriving for a few days. I can't wait so need to do a Big W click and collect tomorrow so I can brew tomorrow.

Also related I'd run out of homebrew (well stuff that was ready to drink) so I had to buy my first slab since January yesterday.

Where do you buy from? I get my stuff from Grain and Grape in Yarraville, awesome guys. Not sure how you brew but I use this crew a lot as well, really good.

I went through kegland, found them on eBay, I usually go to the local homebrew shop, try not to buy any of the HB stuff online if I can help it. I'm pretty new to it so always good to get in person advice of course.

Decided to take my private car out to fill up while cheap, don't use it because of company car so put in some effort, station closed for refueling with the tanker...

Doing a course today which is on Singapore time, I'm really concerned about getting breaks for lunch at the appropriate times. Also trying to figure out how to hide my afternoon beers from the Zoom camera.
