I’m bored.. + some random thoughts

@MJG017 @tyme @rav3n @Jynx @MissGremlin

Coming to think about it, I really should’ve not wasted my time on getting the SSD (hard drive) as well as paying for the JB HIFI gift card after I applied for a trade-in (as I was initially thinking of trading in my MacBook for a windows laptop) but then straight after that I ended up cancelling the trade-in since I realised that it wasn’t worth trading my own MacBook away for a new laptop that’s incredibly useless. Maybe if I’ve already discovered about my true passions to pursue something that relates to my life experiences back in January & early February, then all of this would’ve not happened to me. And I should’ve not have to worry about spending a total of $700+ over these two new items “I’m supposed to be getting”…

I even contacted the merchant of the trade-in that I paid to the day after I made the trade-in application and then eventually cancelled it on the same day, but according to them they’re unable to provide a refund after I purchase a JB HIFI gift card as is stated under their rules…

Fyi, all of this was a month ago and I’m now contacting my bank 1 month later (as in now) to tell them about it and if I can file a transaction dispute against

Edit: okay nevermind actually, the bank doesn’t accept these kinds of “change of mind” disputes. Oh well…

@Blackcloud oh that's so frustrating and it sucks. Sorry that it wasn't able to be changed.

Have you got much on today?

@MissGremlin yeah I told them that I’m gonna file the dispute myself since they won’t do it on my behalf and their response was “thank you for confirming” so I’ll do it perhaps later today or something

yeah, I’m just having a sip of bubble tea chilling, and I’m also gonna be going to the library nearby after (I think) to do some studying like I always have to do 😅 I’m gonna be working on brainstorming things that are outlined on the image analysis assessment and then whenever I’m able to finish that, I’ll then hopefully be able to start writing up a draft on it like next week or so.

I’m gonna be getting my wisdom teeth (on my left side) out in 2 days, so I would need to get a few days rest from there whilst I’m at on top of things.

What about you, have you too got much on today? 🙂

@Blackcloud good on you for taking it into your own hands and I hope you can get it sorted out.

I hope your studying goes well 😊.

Good luck with having your wisdom teeth removed, I hope that goes smoothly for you and you recover quickly. Definitely take some time for yourself while you heal ❤️.

I didn't have anything on today. Was supposed to be getting a phone call but that didn't happen, was also meant to make a phone call but couldn't manage that today so maybe that's a tomorrow job now. Just been trying to take it easy on myself today.

@Blackcloud

IT isn't for everyone. Some people enjoy solving the technical problems that continually pop up, and others just get frustrated by it. I think most people learn pretty quick whether it's for them or not. When I did my advanced diploma, There as about a 50% drop out rate for every level. I still enjoy it but it took me until last year that it was never really a 'passion' for me. Maybe it was back then, I really dont know. I just know that now, I wish I had done more support stuff like i'm doing now. It's so much more fulfilling. Look at it as a learning experience and follow whatever you feel more passionate about.

@MJG017 I agree. I think doing more support stuff would be much more fulfilling to do than to be doing any other fields outside of it.

i just hate how I’ve wasted my +$700 a month ago with just getting two new items for an IT course haha I wish I can get my money back and refund them but nope 😆

@Blackcloud

Yep, if i had my time again, I would choose 'fulfilling' over anything else. It's an easy lesson to learn when you're in a position to look back on your life. It's all that really matters in the end.

It you have no use for the stuff, at it's new and you still have the receipts for warranties, you could sell them 2nd hand quite easily. You could recoup some of the money that way.

sorry, initially i posted this in the wrong thread an hour ago, so here's the right thread for it! my apologies!! @MissGremlin @rav3n @Jynx @creative_writer @tyme @PeppyPatti

Okay this is something I didn’t realise all along until the student accomodation agent I was talking to on earlier told me that the accomodations that cover ALL the bills within the rent are generally $500 per week.
So no wonder the one I live in now is why I needed to pay $500 per week?? 😀 how wonderfull!!! (Sarcasm because I blame the cost of living and screw the government) because yes it does cover all the bills.

but the ones that DONT cover all the bills generally cost less depending on your usage of internet, water, electricity and all. And they reckon that it would be economical to pay those ones separately. I actually agree with this to be honest, considering how the cost of living and the economy is like right now.

also the ones that I was looking at that cost $311 and $346 respectively (both are outside of CBD though) unfortunately neither of them have a gym in these accomodations.. 😞 & both of these only covers one of the bills (not some, not all..) which is a big shame since that means I’ll have to find an external gym somewhere located not too far from those areas and then unfortunately pay those daily $10 or more fees after I become a member of a gym…

I’ve sent an email to my NDIS LAC and my OT regarding the NDIS housing and stuff and wonder if it’s possible for me to be able to find a housing that’s under the NDIS? Since that’s what my psychologist brought up to me with a month ago and suggested that I ask my “case manager” (according to her but I don’t think a case manager in your NDIS support team ever exists ??), but yeah I only was able to email them about it today and not before that haha

oh, and for your information, all of what I’ve mentioned above are with regards to the private/individual rooms (not shared rooms)

cost of living sucks, hey!! i was looking to move out myself and gosh, the price made me decide to just stay with my fam a lil longer (so now instead of paying rent, i'm paying with my mental health at home 😅 luckily things are okay at the moment tho)

hope you're holding up okay!! @Blackcloud
