For your sake the next simulation arrives quickly and better than the last

I'm having way too much fun in this simulation. Or something along those lines.

I enjoyed working with machines rather than people, machines don't get petty when things don't go there own way, don't answer back, don't spend half the shift out having ciggie breaks. Don't get stroppy when you cancel, whoops counsel them and have hissy fits when they don't get their way, need I go on?
Don't miss, nor like any of the people at the the place I last worked at, they really cheesed me off.

Good machine to work with, first commercially available laser printer, from IBM.

At least with machines, mostly, you can turn them off! View attachment 431181

When I was in Fourth form (for the youngens Yr 10) I started to kick up a bit against the career path I was headed for (I had 2 older brothers who had gone into teaching and it was sort of agreed I would do the same). Anyway I started to go cold on the idea. My father arranged for a career counselling appointment in Melbourne (which was a big thing as we lived in Bairnsdale) and duly off we went. After all the questions and tests, the answer came back that a career in the newly developing computer world would suit me as I would not need to deal with people. My father was not amused. I was a teacher for over 25 years and really didn't regret it at all.

A couple of bites at the APS after I 'retired' (early I might say) and still there now on contract. I had a principal who said that when a job was not fun any more it was time to go and I have practiced that. I must have a lowfun threshold as first stint in the APS was 7 years and I have been on contract now for 5.

There have been a few times in life where the job was no longer fun including current job. Unfortunately I can't do anything else and the idea of shovelling cough for a living does not excite.

I've been in current job for close to 17 years. I'll get to 20 years and re-assess but will then more than likely try to get to 25 years and re-assess.

WCMO is email from Netlix today announcing they are discontinuing my plan and movie me on a cheaper plan but that plan has ads. Ah no I'm not paying for any streaming service that has ads, if I want my viewing to be interrupted and take longer then I'd watch FTA.

To get a plan without ads means doubling monthly subscription cost.

As there very little there worth watching atm looks like I will be cancelling and will sign-up again only when a decent amount of content drops.

So they will make less money from me as I'll probably go premium plan 2-3 months a year, instead of standard plan 12 months. Dumb move Netflix.

WCMO IOS 18.3.1. A recent update from Apple that has been hiding emails from me for three days because it decided they weren't important enough to be in my inbox. Found 50+ emails hidden from me.

This new system is grade A compost

MrP went to a similar counselling session with a school psychologist. At the end of the interview he was asked what he thought he replied 'I want your job'. And the rest is history albeit tweaked.

I had no such counselling as I was predestined by my parents to either be a secretary or a teacher if I passed Year 12. Secretly then they enrolled me in secretarial college. I was prepproved for Teachers College based on Year 11 results (Leaving certificate). And had all my medicals etc as needed back then, before hitting Matriculation (Year 12). But I didn't just pass but was dux of the Humanities course but not awarded that because it was awarded before the results came out. Bit them in the bum as the person who was awarded it only just passed. But it was a school clique thing award.

So, threw out the teachers college application and was rather shocked when my parents admitted the secret secretarial application and was the first of my family to go to Uni and finish it. My brother had started earlier but he was hooked into the Vietnam conscription issue and that very much distracted him from studies.
