Daily Discussion Thread: 📖📖 🛌🙂 Friday, August 16, 2024

Chill is back in the air. On the way to a moooovie (MIFF film) even though I have this assignment to do... But I wouldn't have gotten anything done tonight anyway as it's been a big day at work... I think my guilt/anxiety over the assignment is what's caused me to have nasty dreams of teenage woes (had another dream after the one of my mum screaming, with an uncle telling me I wasn't allowed to watch Suits. Which is weird as I've never been interested in watching it anyway and that uncle was relatively lenient)

It's okay to have a bit of a life outside of work and uni 😩 can't sustain my psyche otherwise...

In good news though, I passed my probation at one of my jobs today and got a 9% pay bump (they kind of tend to lowball in the first 3 months then do more after. Even my boss admitted it was "embarrassing" what I'd been paid so went beyond the upper range of what I was thinking). The annual equivalent is the highest I've ever been paid in my life so far - would finally take me past the PHI tax threshold lol - and it is so much cruisier than my previous job, so I am feeling pretty chuffed about that. 🥂

edit: I also negotiated one day less per fortnight so I kind of end up the same financially but with more time so that's not so bad at all 😎
