Daily Achievements!

Awww, gorgeous, @Adge. I've been enjoying the wild birds around here. I think I spotted a female Blue Wren the other day, right shape, I think I recognised the call, but drab instead of bright blue like the males.

Achievements so far today...
Got out of bed at the proper time despite sleeping badly and it being really cold.... that counts, yes?
Set up a new smart phone to use for QR code COVID log ins. Have never had a smart phone before. Sub achievement is not getting so fed up with it that I left it at home? 😛
Short shopping trip accompanied by Hubby and aforementioned smart phone. Worked as it should at two businesses, didn't have enough mobile reception to register the other two.
Some weeding, gave Chookie some leaf litter to scratch through for insects.
Unclogged the washing machine filter so it would work and put a load on. Mopped up the water that poured out when I pulled the clogged filter out. (Front loader...)

Am pretty tired. If I can achieve hanging out that load and making tonight's dinner, I might call that good enough for today.

Hello @Adge

Would you title that "Golfinch on Almond Blossom"?

Lovely photo

Hello everyone Acheivements for today are getting out of bed after half a day sleeping in,shower,Coffee,load of washing,made my bed,sent a birthday message to a family member,had phone councilling appointment which was much needed,cooked dinner,going to do some self care tonight,watch Netflix,listen to music maybe read some blogs or do online quizzes,then might make a shopping list for food shopping to do tomorow online might save food shopping list online for tomorow,and Ill try to get a good nights sleep feeling tired as theres been quite a bit of argueing,family conflict and relationship conflict over the weekend,and Im tired of agueing with family and others Id rather just hide away on my own a bit to rest from the drama

Strange afternoon - In fact the past few day, full of unexpected Surprises (not all good ones).

I have been Offered the Census Field Officer Contract (Job) - Via email tonight (7.00pm AEST).

I need a Witness to Sign – There is no other way, to accept the Contract (Offer).

Has to be Signed Electronically (on Computer) by me + Witness (very Weird).

Very hard to get a witness (living alone) - especially electronically, cannot take a Printout Copy of Contract to someone to Witness (Sign).

I had virtually given up hope on this Job – As it has been over 5 weeks, since I passed the Identity & Police Clearance Checks.

Adge

well hoe youre not getting ripped off thru labor hire, these jobs used to pay ok plus paid training @Adge just take to post office or bank to get witness, just silly govt stuff, they will have a list of witnesses can use ask them / log on at library and as them to sign, how does witness sign? electronically I guess. Ask.

Thanks @TAB it's 6 week's Temporary work.

Then end of contract- No extension.

Casual Pay of $24 per hour (including Loading) Very Low.

Adge

that may be below minimum wage sort of remember was half as much again years ago when employed direct by govt. @Adge looks like labor hire has it sewn up

something to do anyway guess

Training provided / no experience necessary. Ideal candidates would have a good understanding of their local community and an ability to flexibly plan their workload within allocated weekly hours. The main responsibility of these roles is to make contact with households when dropping off or collecting Census forms and to encourage online participation. Australian Citizens preferred.

perhaps it could lead to something, even if not through official channels, like through people who are higher up. Sorry for sounding negative. @Adge
