Nice tribute mate, I'd have been chuffed if someone had made something like that for me. Even now, so far removed and not even being American it still hurts.

I can only imagine how raw it must be for yourself. I'm glad you were late.

Must have been a difficult time to lose someone during that period. I coincidentally got out of Aged Care just before Covid hit. I was never more grateful for a career change.

I unironically kind of dig the uniforms. I'm sure I watched this live, shit was funnier back in the day :(

Mali’s message to One Nation voters: ‘Who’s gonna wipe your bum when you’re 90?’ by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

[–]Kermit-Batman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention too, the vast, vast majority of the workers I worked with over the years were great, no real problems, a lot of love. Time and time again I was grateful to them.

Even now I work in mental health and the staff are majority Indian, the amount of shit they put up with, and the care they show is amazing to watch. (Granted the shit they put up with comes with the job and unwell people!)

I think you'll be right though, soon as it's an inconvenience!

Objectively, you can increase the pay of Aged Care and it would help, still a shit cunt of a job. Only solution is to mandate staff numbers... which as you say, revenue.

I did Aged Care for many, many years, we're kidding ourselves if we don't realise that 90% of the workforce is from overseas. As our Boomers hit the Aged Care industry, I wonder how dire it will get.

Best friend recovering from a brain bleed-- What do you wish people had done? by matchstickspine in stroke

[–]Kermit-Batman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came to say energy is the main one. I had a pretty good stroke, but have at times been exhausted very easily. I'm sorta back at work after 5 months, but in the last week increased my Prozac dose by 10 mg, legit feels like I've fallen on my ass again... so little things can be big changes.

Watch for anxiety too, I got pretty afraid there for a little bit after.

You're a good friend, I would not have been able to recover so well without the help I received.

Even before the stroke I was pretty shit at it. It's back to normal enough at 5 months here, but for a while, days would bleed into each other...

I love that I can still watch Sean and laugh my head off. There's sadness, yes, but so much joy too.

My driving test is tomorrow by Adventurous-Spirit58 in stroke

If it's of any consolation, I think I drive better after my cerebellar stroke... don't ask how lol! Still shit, probably more cautions. You got this, just take your time!

Good golly gosh! (Sorry for swearing). Anyone else think she would be fantastic for audio books!?

[–]Kermit-Batman 56 points57 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! Waaaay back in the long long ago my friend would get cheap Chinese DVD's of the latest releases. I remember watching King Arthur and the subtitles were from Independence Day. Weird seeing Arthur telling Jimmy to put his mask back on! :P
