I am also very grumpy thanks to the heat and this extremely easily avoidable $198 fine. Currently calculating how much more hours I'd have to work to earn that back...

Let's be grumpy together.

At least two.

It's five for me, post-tax... so much for all the extra hours this week I'd powered on through, sucked up by this stupid fucking thing aralskfjsalrkgh.

The plus side is I do have a work event tomorrow that I am getting paid to attend like a normal work day even though it's outside my usual contracted 3 days (because work is flexible about extra hours). So that's easy money. Lucky this didn't happen last fortnight where I could just barely do my 3 days per week what with all the moving and shit.

Oh no, fine for what?!

Parking. In a rush in the morning and didn't put my permit on. I hate that uni is costing me so much in terms of not being able to work more, needing to still be in Melbourne ($$$), and now this 😭 especially as I'm kind of doing this out of spite to finish the dang thing and I don't even truly enjoy it. I guess it marginally improves my options in the future...

Please try to contest it at least.

I mean, it fell down, didn’t it?

Speedster?

If you've been a good kitten the last few years, you might be able to apply to have it downgraded to a warning

Parking (council managed on uni land). I'd have more luck with speed I think.
