"The real concern driving CEO resistance is the fact that remote work involves a previously unthinkable change in the way productive activity is structured and organised. If workers can do without the physical presence of managers, perhaps they don’t need managers at all, at least in the way they currently operate. The eagerness of CEOs and other senior managers to wish these changes away suggests that, at some level, they realise this."

Sometimes I look at some things I said and done 20 years ago and think omg cringe.

Don't be tricked the illusion of Melbourne's "fools Spring". There will be a cold snap back at some point.

Work colleague suggested I should fly Jetstar to Thailand. Lol I'm sorry but no, I'm a full service airline girl for international journeys.

I look at some children, then I look at their parents and I think to myself you poor bastards you never had a chance.

For the first time in what seems like ages I haven't needed to turn any heating on. It's nice. I could get used to this.

While I do spend a bit more on energy working from home, the fact is it's still massively less than what I would have spent on public transport going to and from the office, to say nothing of incidentals that I might have gotten i.e. coffee etc.

And speaking of which energy provider is trying to jack up the prices by 30%. Yeah how about fuck off and sayonara. I'm already spending more this year despite the fact I'm using less energy compared to last year thanks to the split system.

International shipping to Australia is so fucking expensive, even for small things. We really are at the ass end of the world.

If you commit murder in a senseless, vicious and unprovoked attack, I don't care that you were only 16. You need to be locked up for life, for the safety of society if nothing else.

Honestly this weather is so fucking shit. Literally have not left the house today and frankly it's probably going to stay that way.

When cafes are selling bowls of soup for 17 dollars and bowls of porridge for 19 dollars that's when you know the country has lost the plot.

Might as well be living in Argentina with this kind of inflation.

I see a lot of partnered people making some big compromises for various reasons...for the kids, for finances, because they are scared to be "alone".

At this point in my life with control over my own space and what I do, it would really have to take someone extraordinary to feel as though they were adding to my life rather than me making big sacrifices.

And honestly the thought of trying to date in the hope of that elusive someone feels like a very big gamble with poor odds. If you enjoyed dating and meeting new people, the process even though you don't win might be bearable, but I don't really care for it tbh.
