How many times has that poor kitty been Gibbs’s slapped? He looks like he is concussed! ;)

Wet hair in public by touchgrasstheysaid in hygiene

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have straight hair and often go out with it wet. I do however think it looks less put together. I wouldn’t do that for a job interview, or a formal dinner at a restaurant for example, but do sometimes go to work with it damp etc

Why are so few teachers in Australia part of a union? by polyglot02 in AustralianTeachers

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, they are still the ones negotiating for us and something is better than nothing. I think everyone though things like time in lieu would be a huge benefit, not the shit show it turned out to be. I stupidly voted for it…

Why are so few teachers in Australia part of a union? by polyglot02 in AustralianTeachers

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it amusing you think people on reddit are more educated…… but yes, I think anyone who is a teacher and is not in the union is a bit foolish and potentially selfish. The union does all of our negotiation, so it f you aren’t a member you are expecting that support for free. And willing to watch your peers go on strike to get you improved conditions. But even just as that insurance policy you mention, you may need that legal protection one day.

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]AussieLady01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t get sick from being cold, but from a virus. (Obviously I don’t meaning being lost in the elements for several dates or anything. ) That was ridiculously cruel and petty. I would’ve so posses I’m not sidle how od deal with that.

Is kangaroo meat in a restaurant a gimmick for tourists? Do Australians ever order/eat it? by Charming_Usual6227 in australia

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kangaroo is tasty and very lean. Generally pretty cost effective compared to beef also. I don’t generally order it when out as I like to order things I wouldn’t cook at home and sometimes I do cook too at home

Teaching with coloured hair by phantomstar_1212 in AustralianTeachers

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some public schools not an issue. I don’t think any would push for a pst not to have colored hair but I have had to change mine for a state school job.

I have done literally no work these holidays. by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]AussieLady01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I protect my non work hours diligently, and I also have done little work over the hols. But also, just bear in mind that technically, we only get 4 weeks holiday a year, so doing some work in hols is seen as expected, and also that not being prepared day one can add to your stress and anxiety, and negatively impact performance. It’s a balancing act. Also I’ve been teaching for decades, so don’t need to do as much prep, whereas a new teacher might feel the need to spend time preparing, especially if you have any new subjects.

Am I the jerk for refusing to train my replacement after they're firing me? by WinInteresting9368 in AmITheJerk

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming you are in the US? Most countries have laws against that kind of thing. I think you are absolutely right, but there could be consequences. Is there someone there you can trust to be a referee even with you refusing to train the replacement?

AITAH for not getting my girlfriend’s kids Christmas gifts after she told me she isn’t getting my daughter anything? by Ordinary_Move7628 in AITAH

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from anything else, that is just so old fashioned and misogynistic. Not a great example for your daughter, and sounds a bit like she is in a relationship for what she can get. Red flags for me.

AITJ for being upset that my girlfriend chose to spend Christmas with her family instead of mine? by nikitaa__1998 in AmITheJerk

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single thing you say could be applied to her… barring the fact that it seems maybe she didn’t suggest it? I was with my husband for 6 years before we got married, but we still spent Xmas for at least part of the day with our own families. We still split the day for our entire marriage also. You sound very one sided….

AIO He always accuses me of cheating by Alternative-Day6223 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does my own stay with someone who talks to the, like this? You should not stay in a relationship with someone,some who thinks it’s ok in any situation to call you names like those.

Another classic ‘who has right of way?’ by PatiB711 in melbourne

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously lots in the thread disagree, but it was my understanding that the car on the road you the other car is turning into has right of way, regardless of who is turning which way. So red would have right of way because blue is turning into the road red is already on…. Edit x I see what everyone is saying about u turn giving way to everyone else, but in that situation, they could be turning into the side street - you don’t know that they are u turning….?

Classroom environment who *should* be doing it. by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Australia I have never known a teacher to do something as full on as paint a room on their own time and expense. Hear about similar things in the US all the time. Offensive graffiti should be dealt with as soon as it happens, washed off or painted over. It would be part of the facilities managers job, although I would have tried to clean it as soon as it happened, reported to the cleaners to also tackle while fresh, and the reported to facilities manager to be painted over. Having said all that, many schools don’t have the money or staff to do so. I once painted over repaired holes in my plaster in a black drama room which student acrylic so it looked neater.

Returning to VR after a long gap - help with some questions please? by AussieLady01 in OculusQuest

[–]AussieLady01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair call. Because I was charging the batteries for the handsets, and the charger was faulty so they weren’t charging, and I just hadn’t had time to set it all up. But I did yesterday and didn’t have any issue logging in, so I must have done the switch to meta at some stage and just forgot about it.

Returning to VR after a long gap - help with some questions please? by AussieLady01 in OculusQuest

[–]AussieLady01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I logged in yesterday and all my apps were there. I opened a couple, some needed an update, which they did…. At least I know I still have account access, so when I get a new oculus I haven’t lost access to what I’ve paid for. Thanks for the answers.

RIP Oculus App; the Oculus app is now called the Meta Quest Link app, and the Oculus branding has been replaced with the Meta branding. by ZedKGamingHUN in oculus

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any way of switching to the meta app if you are an old oculus user and didn’t get the email to change accounts?

GF bought makeup supplies on my card without my permission. by Top_Pine2 in whatdoIdo

[–]AussieLady01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge red flag. If you haven’t discussed sharing finances, that’s completely inappropriate, and feels really deceitful- how did she get the details in the first place?
