    This situation is doing some weird stuff to food prices.
    Went to IGA just now to get a couple of chicken breasts which usually go for about $8-9 a kilo,imagine my surprise when I saw $19 per.
    So I bought these instead...

    You should have bought these, although I believe they're sold out in Sydney, Melbourne, and wherever Moretti is this week...

    All the talk of the big spend stimulus package made we think of this joke and the aftermath.

    The slave driver of the Roman galley leered down at his galley slaves and bellowed,
    "I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you'll be getting double rations tonight!"
    The slaves rowed on, murmuring among themselves with surprise. The slave driver continued,
    "The bad news is that this afternoon the commander's son wants to water-ski."

    I'll be very surprised if we are not in full lock down by the weekend.

    Cases will go through the roof in the next couple of days, has happened everywhere else so don't know why people would think it won't here.

    And letting 4 cruise ships tip all their passengers straight into Sydney to then disperse around Australia? FFS.

    Someone needs to blow up the live exotic animal market in China too, or else it's only a matter of time before a worse Chinese Virus is let loose on the world.

    Rant over......for now.

    It's super crazy right now, the access to telehealth is still super restrictive even after the slight expansions. Given that, we gave the option to our clinicians whether they wanted to stay face-to-face or go onto Zoom, it seems like a half-half split, and no surprise we're getting a lot of cancelations as for MOST people there's no medicare rebate at all for telehealth right now.

    Fortunately from a business (and selfish) perspective most of our people are contractors, so no money to pay them unless they have sessions.

    We have savings to cover us in this time, and the gov cash injection will help majorly, so our business should survive (and the further they expand the Medicare stuff the better), but damn it will hurt our clinicians for a bit. Fortunately most are contractors as they have other jobs elsewhere, and most also have PAYGW jobs that should be safe as well.

    As I'm only a provisional Psychologist at the moment, my clients are already low cost with no Medicare, so no real change for them. I might even see an increase at some point.


    Personal note, I am meant to have a job interview for PAYGW job in a week, so we'll see what happens with that. Yet another gov job for me, and one that is definitely still needed right now, but not sure what it will look like as it would have involved a lot of face to face contact, so should be interesting what happens out of that. Alana (my ex) has a full time uni lecturer job, so that should remain safe and she's going to online teaching now, but she was about to settle on a property in like a month, so who knows what's going to happen there.

    It's hard not to be selfish right now and just wonder what's going to happen, I was too young to really understand the 90s recession, and the GFC didn't majorly effect me because of the good gov job I had at the time.
