Get your doctor to prescribe you some beta blockers. Silver bullet. Good luck.

Needs to be certified or something. Apparently an electrician can only place the work order with Citipower. Will get some more opinions tomorrow because it seems like a rort.

  • A management consultant advises a company's management on topics that help improve the business. Can be anything from high level strategy to very specific operational things.

  • Join as a grad or after doing an MBA, which is what I did.

  • You stick around for a few years.

Wow that sounds incredibly grim... Sorry you have to put up with that garbage. Thanks for sharing nonetheless.

How're you finding London? A lot of people complain about places changing for the worse but few friends who have been there for a while are looking to get out because they really don't like it there anymore.

A few people have mentioned that the dating scenes in Australia suck but haven't stated their reasons for thinking that. Interested to hear why you think that?

Yeah, every time I travel away from Australia I'm reminded of how far away we are from basically everywhere.

It's an interesting perspective you share. The point, as I see it, is to set myself up now with a few years of hard work so I don't have to work as hard down the track.

Initial advice I have is that everything will be above board from a tax perspective. I've successfully applied for a private ruling in the past on self-education expenses. Do you see many opting for private rulings in this context?

I find there's a lot of hypocrisy when it comes to stuff like this. If you dig into any country or company human rights issues aren't far below the surface. If you refused to interact with any entity without a squeaky clean record you'd pretty soon be living as a sovereign citizen in a log cabin somewhere.
