You know, 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.800 a housing manager, this might offend you, but to be fair, 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:16.920 I'm going through it. 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.240 It's time to worry about me. 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:23.560 Somebody stood up and said it, I can't wait. Unt oh, yeah, 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.840 you're not going to rentate your Tasmania home. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.160 Are you going to be it? I could rent it. 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:32.679 You'll get some karens. Yeah, but that's later on. Yeah, 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.039 let's get to it. Phase two. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.560 This is flex and frooms. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.000 Are you still using Duolingo? 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.080 I am, but I haven't been able to maintain a 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.880 consistent streak for two weeks and I had a consistent 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:49.840 streak for maybe close to three months. What But I 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:54.640 found that what was happening is that I wasn't learning. 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.840 I was memorizing, Like I was, I'm able. 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.720 To say what certain words are, but I don't know 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.560 how to use them in context of a sentence. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.520 And as soon as we got. 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.600 To like vows not vow, sorry, plurals, I was like, okay, 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:16.760 I'm confused plurals and verbs right, I was like, what's 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:17.760 happening here? 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:18.960 It's very confusing. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.120 And then I started doing a lot of research around 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.160 duwe Lingo and how effective it is at actually teaching 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.120 you how to learn a language and be at least 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:28.760 literate and not great. 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:29.640 Is that what you're going to tell me? 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:30.080 Yes? 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.519 Yeah, So a friend of a friend of mine or 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.400 a friend of mine, his name's James Collie. 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:36.840 He's all right, how do you go from a friend 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.160 of a friends with a friend. I was like trying to 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:40.079 keep it. I don't know what I was. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:41.720 Sorry, he's a friend of mine, he's a mentor. His 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:48.600 name is James Collie. Just ignore everything that I'm saying. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.880 No fact checking, as we say, You're a fas frim show. Anyway. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:53.880 He wrote about. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.480 His experience on duwe Lingo and said that he was 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.440 addicted so much so that, regardless of his job and 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.120 his infant daughter, Duolingo came first. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:04.280 That's a paraphrase. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.919 Not surprised the way they set up that app. M 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.320 This is what he says about the app. I downloaded 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.040 the language learning app Duolingo. It was much more fun 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.720 than a stodgy textbook and more convenient than taking an 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.520 actual class. The app's icon starred a friendly little green 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.040 owl who danced when you logged on my phone, gave 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.240 a satisfyingly little ding when I answered the question correctly. 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.720 It is a good ding and confirm and. 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.359 Between lessons, I'd be told fun facts such as more 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.200 people in the United States to learn a language on 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.080 due Lingo than in schools, which I found both interesting 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.160 and deeply depressing. He used it instead of scrolling social 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.280 media and apparently became invested in the community element of 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:46.000 the app. 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.280 So supposedly you would know this. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.680 You were crew points, you complete monthly challenges, and you 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.120 move up a language leaderboard. The cartoon Owl was telling 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:56.720 me that I was like the sun. He never had 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.560 I was the Titan of the Duolingo world. 0:03:58.720 --> 0:03:58.960 Yep. 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.080 But yeah, when he tried to use the skills to 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.400 read a book, it couldn't and it wasn't fun. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.080 I think, what's the worst bit about trying to use 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.240 the skills in the context of a conversation or trying 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.320 to challenge yourself by like I would type in like 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.560 Dutch publications and see if I could figure out any words, 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.200 And I was like, none of this makes sense in context, 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.880 because the issue about JEWELINGO is that it's not teaching 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.719 you how to use words in the context of how 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.440 you would use them based on what I said I 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:28.719 want to use it for, which is like just like 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.480 social cultural learning, but they have specific phrases like, for example, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.480 when you would learn about animals instead of talking about 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.760 animals in the context of a dog bus or when 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.039 should we take the dog to the vet? It'd be 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.440 like the dog wants to go to the supermarket. The 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.080 cow wants to go to the supermarket. The cow and 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.560 the dog and the bee wants to go to the supermarket. 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.520 You're like, well, I would never say that, So like 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.479 I was looking for that phrase in other books, being 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:03.960 like that, we would never say that. And the other 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.560 thing that got me about duwel Ingo is as someone 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.400 who's on their phone all the time and resents being 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.000 on their phone all the time, it became really frustrating 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.800 to contradict a habit I was trying to break. So 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.599 on my phone currently, I try not to have notifications 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.839 for anything but my emails and more recently mobile phone games. Yeah, 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.400 I've been trying not to have a dependence on my 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.520 phone for anything. So been trying to figure out how 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.960 to wake up without my phone, how to get to 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.760 places without using GPS, just like logging off a tinty 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.039 tinty bit and due Lingo is so antithetical to that 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.719 because you constantly have to be on there to keep 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.479 up your streak and to participate in the challenges, and 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.000 you get notifications when your friends are doing well as well, 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.279 and you know the it it becomes too much and 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.800 then you realize that you're not actually using the app 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.200 to learn the language, but to maintain a streak. I 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.040 felt like a teenager using snapchat mean like adding it 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:58.919 my Snap. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.760 Square up Snap Squirrel. 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.159 It's a great system, but it's fundamentally flawed because they 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.600 say that, like James mentioned in the article, you're not 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.400 actually being taught skills on how to learn the language. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.680 You're being taught on how to recognize a word. And 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.320 as we know, words are not the sum of language. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:21.599 They aren't. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.720 So not only do I now have beef with duweling Go, 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.760 and this is a light beef, to be honest, because 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.000 I'm not even that mad. I was on a family 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.600 plan that I wasn't paying for. Shout out to Cheyenne 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:33.720 hook that up for me. Put me on a. 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.160 Family plan on my birthday as well. So it's a 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:37.920 nice little thing. 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:39.760 This is flex and frooms. 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.599 This Amy the Asshole is a very special one that 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.320 I hold close to my heart because it's my own 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:52.960 experience trauma. And I don't like to speak about my 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.479 own personal crises, especially when they're not resolved, because I 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.760 find that what's the point if it's not resolved. 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.680 I don't want to bad juju, not. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.120 About bad juju, but I want to be more mindful 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.440 of how much emotional energy and mental energy I invest 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.000 into things when I don't have to. I think most 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.480 things I can afford to feel very neutral about just 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:15.120 to get. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:15.400 On with it. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.960 But this in particular has been so layered because it 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:20.920 didn't have to escalate in the way that it has. 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.960 So I recently moved into a new apartment. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:29.920 Address, and I can preface this with saying, this apartment 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.160 is very expensive, like very expensive. 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:40.280 A month, oh five K, yeah, heavy, yeah. 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.240 And like, granted I've got to work from home allowance, 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.679 so it covers some of it, but within a month 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:47.640 it's like more than five K. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.040 It's an expensive apartment. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.600 I'm gonna have to ask you off air how you 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.040 get a work from home allowance? 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.400 Do you have an employer? No, you, babes. 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.000 I've talked about going to a company structure. We've discussed 0:07:59.000 --> 0:07:59.480 this before. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:02.040 See. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.480 The point is it's a very expensive apartment. And I 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.160 emphasized that because when I moved from my old apartment 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.840 to this one, I made the considered effort to take 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.680 that little leap and go a little bit higher than 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.400 I would because it was going to function as not 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.760 only like a home office, but I also film a 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.560 lot in my house. I can it's a tax deductible 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.840 expense if I have a room in there, and I 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.120 wanted to live in a more convenient location. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:26.800 For me. 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.480 It was my gift to myself, like, you work really hard, 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.920 you can live in a nicer apartment. And so when 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.680 I moved into this apartment, the first thing that concerned 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.440 me was that in two of the rooms there was 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.680 this huge like stains in the carpet. There's gray carpet 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.880 with these brown stains. And I was like, what is 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.640 that And they're like, oh, it's water damage. But we're 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.040 going to get the carpet to ripped up for you 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.720 before you move in. And I was like, fantastic. I 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.560 have two weeks before I can move in. Will it 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.719 be done in the two weeks time? Like, yeah, absolutely. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.560 My mum always says building managers and real estate agents 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.400 always lie about repairs. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:00.760 They can't constantly do it. 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:02.920 But I was like, look either way, I got to 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.680 move in a sap because my lease is ended. We're 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.720 in the middle of a rental crisis. There were too many, 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.800 like too many factors that were making this difficult. So 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.680 it's a week before I meant to move and the 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.520 real estate agent's like, oh, the carpets aren't fixed yet, 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.960 but I'll do it. I'll organize it next week. It's 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.680 all approved on our end. We just can't get ahold 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.800 of the of the repair guys. I was like, okay, cool. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.800 The week I got to move in, he's okay, just 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.680 move in and we we'll get it fixed this week. 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.360 This week happens the carpets are not fixed. And at 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.200 this point I'm hitting them like, hey, you know, how 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:33.720 are you going? Can I get an update on this? 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.000 So that's week one. Carpets aren't fixed. It's been three weeks. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.160 The next week, I go to one of the rooms 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.439 in the houses. It's really big, like rumpus room basically. 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.760 I go in and I'm like, what is that gushing sounder? 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:49.040 Here? 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:50.320 Gosh? 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.800 What does that sound? I opened the bar? 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:59.800 Why is there a flood bar the spar of the spa? No, 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.120 like there's a bar connected to anyway. Just so there's 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:04.880 like a bar connected to a room. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.360 Like a like a drink spar, like a yeah, a 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.400 drink spar okay with like a tap and stuff where 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:11.520 you can prepare drinks and stuff. 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.480 Yes, it's been flooding, and so I call the real 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.679 estate I was like, what is this, babe. It's a 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.120 newly renovated place. Mind you first to live in it. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.080 I'm like, Hey, this has happened. Blah blah blah, some 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:25.920 stuff has been damaged. She's like, oh, no, we'll get 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.160 someone out there to fix it asap. They get someone 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.800 out there to fix it asap, it's all good. I'm like, Okay, 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.160 this is really odd, but I don't think much of it. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.480 The next week, I'm like, hey, what's up with the carpet? Yeah, 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.440 you know, we're still working on it. And I'm like, okay, well, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.520 while you're there, the dimmers on all the lights don't 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.319 actually dim, they go to like ten percent down and 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.840 start flashing like it's giving strobe at splendor. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.760 What is going on? He's like, yeah, I'll get someone 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:51.200 to fix it. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.960 Every week for the last seven weeks, I've been like, hey, 0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:01.880 what's been going on? What's been going on? It gets worse. 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.280 Not only can I not get them to do the repairs, 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:11.720 but on two separate occasions, random building managers have walked 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:18.040 into my house unannounced. Random men I literally have a 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:22.360 video of me recording myself being like to this guy, Hey, 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:23.840 you're actually at my house? 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:24.480 Who are you? 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.720 Not only is this building manager on his phone with 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.120 his back to me, he's not wearing shoes. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.640 Are discussing. It's not wearing shoes. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.800 Let me not get fired, let me bring it. It's 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:43.240 just point blank irritating experience I'm having with the real estate. 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.720 But I can imagine anyone who's renting, who has ever 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.520 rented a place ever, has had an unsavory experience with 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.040 a real estate agent. And as a homeowner myself, I 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.920 want to keep the house in good condition. I want 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.079 to work with you to make sure that nothing's unsavory 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:00.800 is happening. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.640 But I feel like I'm not being met halfway. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.080 And so what I discussed before is that this house 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:11.040 I moved into is expensive, and it's expensive because I 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.080 was expecting a certain level of service to come with 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.319 the price. You know what I'm saying. Turns out no, 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:19.080 it's the same old nonsense I was explaining that. How 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.280 for about six or seven weeks now, I've been waiting 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.600 on carpets and electricals to get fixed that were promised 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.000 to be fixed before I moved in, and more recently, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.360 men have been walking into my house unannounced, trying to 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:33.200 unlock the door. 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.680 Do they have keys? So this is the thing, the. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.920 First occasion where some random man walked into my house. 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.600 I had just moved in in a bit a couple 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.600 of days, and there's major works happening in the building anyway, 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.640 So I guess there's like a strata manager and a 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.200 building manager and a construction man. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:51.760 Just people all across the property. 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.720 And so there'd been a leak in my house, but 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.559 I couldn't tell if it's because of the rain or 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.280 because of the works upstairs. When you're building, I get 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.839 things like that happen, and so I message my real 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.280 estate agent and I say, Hey, this is what's happening. 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.120 There are leaks in these areas. Could you arrange someone 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.960 to come by asap and check on it, because realistically, 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.360 I'm not going to create solutions around a problem that 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.319 could be fixed, So come fix the leaks. I don't 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:15.960 have to be here with towels every other day doing 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.040 extra laundry. So I'm sitting in my house and then 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.760 I'm recording myself for work and I hear. 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:27.240 That's my door open. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.280 Sound effect. And there's a door from my garage because 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:31.840 I was bringing stuff in and out of my house, 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:32.120 but the. 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:33.040 Door was closed, right. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:34.960 I hadn't locked it because I was physically moving in 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.240 and out recording myself doing so. 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:39.480 So I'm I say to. 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.280 The camera, I think someone in my house. I felt like, 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.920 this is like when a stranger calls. I was like, again, 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.960 the call is coming out inside the house. Who's going 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.600 to protect me? So anyway, I crane my head to 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.839 the side and I see some man in high vis 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:57.600 sweatpants on the phone back to me, no socks, speaking 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:58.120 to someone. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.400 I'm like, is this Who is this? 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.800 So I walk up to him and I'm recording myself 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:05.360 and I'm like. 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:10.079 Hi, you're in my house. Who are you? And he's 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:10.440 on the phone. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.839 He's like, ah ah sorry, He's like one secret, one 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:18.120 second mate, one second mate. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:18.600 Ah. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.360 Yeah, someone told me about a leak. I didn't know 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.840 anyone be here. And I was like, how did you 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.480 know about the leak If someone didn't tell you that 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.080 there was a leak in here? He was like, yeah, 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:30.440 I didn't know anyone was living here. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.880 And I was like, I live here. Who sent you? 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.120 He's like, oh, I'm a building manager. I'm like, for 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.440 who though I don't know who you are, and he 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.240 was like, yeah, I just got a message from someone 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:40.640 to check. 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:40.880 On a leak. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.480 I'm like, the leak isn't even coming from their number one. 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:44.800 Why didn't you knock? 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:46.400 He said the door was unlocked. 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:51.440 No, so we don't knock anyway. I sent a scathing 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.400 email as you did. Got it off my chest. You know, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.320 hit it with all the lines. As a woman, it's 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.320 very unsafe, la la la, hit all the touch points. 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:04.239 Today, yet another incident with a random man coming. 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.560 Into my house, but this one is worse. This morning 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:13.560 I've had Oh I've never seen you so pressed because 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.280 I'm taking so many steps for things to get done right, 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.200 because I don't want to feel any way about anything. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.600 I don't want to stress. I don't want to have 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.480 an attitude. I want to be empty head, good vibes, 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.640 talking about conspiracies, getting paid. 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:27.000 That's it. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.360 So when I'm taking steps and doing what you're meant 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.840 to do and things going, I'm pissed off. So I 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.400 have a Telstra Internet thing like they're my internet provider. 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.440 I have it for my house in Sydney and my 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.120 house in Hobart. So I set up the new connection 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.840 in Hobart and I moved to a new apartment at 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.800 the same time. And so every time I try to 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.200 get the NBN set up in my Sydney house, they 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.560 keep ding to thy Light House. 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:58.080 Right, even time it's been months. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.800 I'm like, just why do you we have to to 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.560 separate the accounts if it's going to be an issue 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.960 for you. And every single time I'm doing a little 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.080 Teltra chat and every time they say, oh, we have 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.360 the new person we move you to can see the 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.480 chat history so you don't have to repeat yourself. And 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.320 every time I got to repeat myself because they asked 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.800 the same questions. I said, it's in the chat history, 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.920 like yeah, but anyway, So this morning, over the weekend, 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.200 I've been speaking to a TELTU representative of the whole time. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.280 They like, okay, letna get someone to your new Sydney 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.640 place first thing Monday. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:34.200 So I asked. 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.640 Sully best friend Sally, if she can work from my 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:40.880 house in the morning to let the person in or 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.000 good tell me why. At eight am, I got a 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.200 confirmation that they're going to be at the property, but 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:55.080 the Hopeite property says, I even got to put on 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.160 a scar today. Could I got the text as I 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.760 was doing my makeup. Okay, So I'm like, okay, this 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.360 is really frustrating. I'm on the chat being like, hey, 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.040 this is what's happened. He at the right people. They're like, oh, 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.479 someone's coming. I'm like, you're not coming to the right place. 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.359 They're like, we don't have the new address on the system. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.080 I'm like, I already did move. Request like, oh, yeah, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:16.000 you have to move. I can't even speak anyway. So 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.680 that's all happening. And I remember when I got the 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.320 message at like eight thirty. I was like, Sally, don't 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.000 don't worry about coming. So like, I'm already here. Let 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:23.879 myself he and I was like, okay, great, so you're. 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.520 Not the early one.

And then at about midday, 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:33.959 I get a call from her and she's like, are 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:35.680 you getting someone in to clean the bathroom? 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:36.920 What? 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.280 I was like, huh. She's like, there's a man here. 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.159 He said, he's here to clean the bathroom. I'm like, 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.600 you mean, like the leak in the hallway. She's like no, 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.640 And I'm like, is it a cleaner And she's like no, 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.120 just some guy in high viz talking about how he's 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.920 with the construction company. I say, so, I'm like, Sally, 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.480 tell him to tell his people. Does an email to 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.920 my people so we can do it, so we can 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.720 like figure this out. And I can hear in the 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.680 background being like, no, I'm here. I'm here to clean 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.640 the bathroom. Now the entrance to get to my house. 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.600 This is not street access, Like you've got to be 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.800 in the property. So the very least we know he's 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:15.879 meant to be there in some capacity. 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:17.360 But Sully knew that. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.359 I was at work obviously, so she was like, I'm like, 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.720 can you just draft an email to me to tell 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.000 me what happened to you?
