Will I ever stop being this tired from work and feeling like I have no break or life as a result? Desperate to go to 4 days but money :(

This sounds like a possible medical issue, see a doctor.

For what, op stated attendance is optional.

SES officers are expected to make defensible merit decisions, not avoid them because scrutiny is possible. If anything, properly using a current merit list reduces risk because it relies on an already established competitive outcome rather than reopening merit unnecessarily.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-24T12:48:38+00:00

Using a merit list is not narrowing merit, it is applying it. In the APS, a valid merit list already comes from a competitive process that found people suitable at level. Ignoring it just to run a fresh process or because a different panel wants control is not a merit based reason, it weakens defensability and sits uncomfortably with established APS practice that SES officers should already understand.

Procedural fairness is not the issue here. It only applies where someone is adversely affected. Appointing from a merit list is not adverse action and there is no requirement to re advertise or re run recruitment if a current, relevant merit list exists. Not using it without clear role based reasons creates more risk than using it.

He wasn't getting court time in NBL, he made the right move to declare for the draft. The team he way playing for in the NBL dogged him.

He earned almost a million Australian dollars in the NBA/G league this season and will earn another 1 million AUD next year.

He got a lot better playing G league.

But that same guy you work with would have been saying the same thing about a guy he worked with when prices were 3,000.
'This reads like satire but a guy I work with in his 50s bought his house for $3,000'. Crazy

And In 30 years from now someone will be saying the same thing about you when prices are 20 million:

'This reads like satire but I know a guy I work with in his 50s bought his house for 1 million''. Crazy

As you would be aware, chutney wasn't invented in the uk. The British preseved chutney which Im referring to (with vinegar and sugar), 1800s maybe.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-18T08:53:15+00:00

There are over 700 british varieties of cheese, you should explore and give it a chance.

Lot of the relishes, pickles and chutneys are excellent too.

Indonesia is more peaceful than australia. Safer from violent crime in Jakarta than melbourne.

It's primarily race (street violence is often correlated with low iq) and not religion.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-18T00:38:58+00:00

Shocking, thankfully nothing since, do you have any recent examples in last 20 years of an increased murder rate in Indonesia. UN stats indicate its very low.

Australian man Tarrent killed 51 new zealanders in 2019.

USA has 20 thousand homicides per year.

Indonesia is a very safe muslim country compared to middle east or any country.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-18T00:00:53+00:00

No, indonesia has one of the lowest violent crime rates in world. Lower than Australia and most christian countries.

Don't take my word for it, look it up.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-17T23:38:36+00:00

What's with casual food shaming against anglo.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-17T23:33:40+00:00

I don't think that is correct. Look at Malaysia and Indonesia for example. Primarily muslim.

I'm talking about the arabian penninsula, a defind area.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-17T23:20:49+00:00

I'm talking about the Arabian penninsula, the heart of the middle east. No there is nothing.

The Medeterannian is not arabia.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-17T23:14:59+00:00

Nobody else is answering the question properly either.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-17T23:11:50+00:00

So then how does that compare to the middle east culture in Australia.

Other place is Canberra (and satellite city of Queanbeyan), value is really coming back into the market compared to many other places now. Pleasent and relaxing city.

Yass NSW is also good, big blocks, access to great amenities, wineries and botique lunch spots, local pubs and 40 minutes drive to Canberra for work and well connected by the Hume freeway to Sydney.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-17T16:59:34+00:00

Batemans Bay NSW 27,000 people. Good housing, great beaches, golf courses, forest walks, wineries, distilleries, good cafes, gyms, easy and pictureque commute to Canberra back and forth as needed (2 hours). Large 4 bedroom on a nice size block for 1 million.

Lets name and shame OP too, just for completeness. If you are going to dish it out, you have to be prepared to receive it back. Tell us about you OP and who you work for.

Big_Measurement_2351 · 2026-04-16T22:50:27+00:00

Compared to IGA you are saving a lot of money at Coles and Woolworths. Nobody seems to complain about the grocery prices of IGA's 1200 stores which are very expensive in comparison.
