General O/T Chit Chat Thead II

Has anyone else found their voyeuristic tendencies from watching Big Brother have bled into real life?

The couple in the apartment down the hall from me are having a massive row tonight. I mean, I heard them at it at about 6pm this evening, and it sounds like it's still going.

Part of me wants to just sit out in the hall and listen in on it even more. Trying to very slowly do my weekly rubbish runs to catch as much of it as possible.
:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Absolutely! We have a house one door down, and every now and the there is shouting! My partner and I bounce of the couch and run to the back bedroom and try and listen!

I remember years ago we out the front in our driveway listening to a particularly bad argument where the popo were called. The police drove up our street and put their spot light on which caused my peeping partner and I to dive into the garden laying low in panic!
 
Some more exciting news. I am starting a new course next month. Excited for it.

Should be a good new beginning in a new direction.
That is great news!

Sounds like you are making it happen. Good for you Jordy :)
 
Hey strangers *waves*...


Good news I just got an email saying my passport iOS approved and ready to be printed!

Yasss got my cruise in March and am so excited to be visiting another country!!!!

Oh that is exciting! Where are you cruising to? Will this be your second cruise or have you been on more?

I'm looking to go on a cruise later this year, just need to work out if this will be a nightmare with a baby or not.
 
I miss out on neighbourly drama! The closest I have had was a woman reprimanding her teenage daughter, pretty lame!

If I lie at a certain angle on my couch and look out the window and I can see into someone's home and have actually seen a guy naked in there a few times. Of course I now make a mental note to never lie that way.

But actually I am worried about another neighbor who is an older man, I don't know him at all really but say hello if I see him. Last year I saw him sit down and cstch his breath while climbing some stairs and now I see his car has been parked in the same spot for nearly 2 months - I hope he's ok! I'm not certain where he lives to suss this out properly.

That's great! So is this similar to your previous studies and dream job or something new? Either way, great news! Education is honestly the best thing ever.

If he lives/lived in an apartment he'd have stunk the place out and people would have found him, if he'd died. Or he may have died and the family haven't moved his car yet. Or [insert a dozen other explanations here]. You're welcome :) Maybe if you see another neighbour in the street you could ask them.

Haha nooo once was enough, I still didn't learn the first time though!

Yes so many possible explanations, I'm pretty sure he lives in an apartment and so I came to the same conclusion. Mayhe he's in hospital or maybe he's on some amazing long term holiday. I will find out!

Thanks!

You could leave a note on the car asking if anyone knows the owner to call you?

I'm turning into a bit of s cruise addict. Off on another one next Thursday.

Did one many years ago when my oldest boy was about 9 months old. We had a ball. I don't think child care arrangements have changed that much. Under about 3 you would need to keep Bub with you through the day but could get a cruise staff sitter each night at a reasonable cost. Once they are a bit older there are free clubs that entertain them for a good portion of the day and evening.

Oh - and I've done another couple (or 4) cruises in between.

Hey jessy!

It is. I am so excited. It is something completely different to my previous studies and dream job. I am actually looking forward to it. :)

Oh yes that's a good idea, my street is seemingly obsessed with leaving passive aggressive notes on other cars so it won't even look out of place, well until someone reads it and sees its actually a note of concern.

Oh wow, well enjoy your cruise!

I went on one a few years ago but didn't pay much attention to child care facilities, good to hear from someone who has done a cruise with a baby! I guess as it is now I'm with him pretty much 24/7 so no big deal for this to be the case on a cruise liner, as long as I being enough stuff snd also as long as he behaves and doesn't make the other cruisers hate us!

Thanks!

Oh well that's good! sometimes our dream job is not what we expect, not many people know for sure what they want to do with their life and even less actually end up doing it I would say.

My sister studied law and has worked in the industry for years but this year is going into childcare. My older brother has worked as an electrician, a personal trainer and an engineer and is still dissatisfied. So goals and dreams and life all change!
 
GOOD MOANIN FAUX T THREAD!

I have decided to upskill! I am going to enrol to become endorsed in IV meds. The course is $3k but I think it will be a wise investment. Not to mention the self pride that comes with the process of learning something new.

I love a new beginning, and I plan to make the most of this year! I start my secondment on Monday and I am shitting bricks with nerves.
You will be fine. I thought you were endorsed already. It is a shame you have to pay that amount of money, it use to be free in NSW. I think you have to pay now also. Glad your first day went well.

Oh you will love the cruise with the bub. He will be over 1 by then? I love cruising

I am. Just not IV endorsed. I actually got a friend to look for me, and you can get your IV endorsement for $450. The one I was looking at is an Advanced Diploma. I am still considering it as the RPL's would mean I am almost at RN level and therefore would only need to do a few modules before a million prac hours.

So good to see you in here by the way!

:)
 
GOOOOOOOOD MOANNNNNIN FAUX T THREAD!

Finished two earlies on a new Ward and it is just brilliant! Lots of different nursing considerations and all new faces. The Ward has a far greater turn over than the one I am on, new clients are admitted several times a day, with discharges obviously moving just as quickly.

So far so good :)
 
Oh you will love the cruise with the bub. He will be over 1 by then? I love cruising

Just a few days ago was his six month birthday which seems crazy to me, so yeah by the time I get around to booking I'm sure he will be over 1.

Cruises are fun, I don't know how people do the ones that go for several months though! I'd say 10 days is good!
