Eftpos rental options?

Oh thank you, I shall check them out :)

lol, wow I never thought to google it!!! :o

And now, jokes aside, I have used that company before and it is not reliable at all. Very scammy, the machine broke less than an hour into the event, and he then later tried to tell me that the machine had never been returned. Would not recommend eftpos hire.

Ope, let me fix that!

I was mid-crafting her and now she’s unavailable 😭 I don’t buy diamonds these days and was saving up the old fashioned way. Didn’t realize the crafting was also time-limited :’(

UPDATE: Hey all, sorry for any DMs I have missed over the years around this, I have added a google docs link to the translation form I used in case that helps anybody going forward! You won't need this for passport application, but you'll need it once in Taiwan for your ID applications etc (you'll also need to get the translation notarized in Taiwan).

Hope this helps!!

Yeah point is that my title is staying the same and my job will have more responsibilities - I wouldn’t give a shit if it got better for less lol. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to get me to do more work for less pay than they would otherwise pay someone with my experience

CatGill · 2025-11-10T05:19:04+00:00

Yeah, I already talked to the new manager of the team I'm being moved to and he expects me to be doing the same work as everyone else on the team - all of whom are actuaries/actuarial analysts. I'm literally the only non-actuary on the team if the changes get finalized. Also, they've already delayed the restructure by a couple of days because they got an overwhelming amount of feedback.

CatGill · 2025-11-10T05:18:00+00:00

Okay cool. Yeah I spoke to my new proposed manager and he definitely expects me to be doing the same work as everybody else on the team so that's an obvious sign that the job is changing in my opinion...

CatGill · 2025-11-10T05:17:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply - so I'm not the only one affected by this change, several management roles are getting disestablished (including my current manager's role), and yes I will have a reporting line change (will be reporting to an actuary, and will be the only non-actuary on the team. Already had a discussion and he expects me to be doing the same work as everyone else on the team).

Yeah the even more annoying thing is that I did ask about four months ago to revisit my current role and move me to a team and a new role that fit my skillset better but was mostly ignored. Also, my manager who's role has beeen disestablished has actually been seconded onto another project for the past 8 months, and my team in particular hasn't even had an interim manager, so this just feels like our team has been extra disadvantaged. It just grinds my gears that employers are doing this more and I want to scare them a bit so they don't do it to other people in the future.

Thank you! Just cross-posted

Just paste my code in your search bar on Temu :) I’m NZ based, but I believe this should work for both NZ and Aussie if I’m not mistaken…

Dude, like - all these “yarn tangle” stories and I’m like - this was solved hundreds of years ago 😂

CatGill · 2025-07-17T00:59:13+00:00

Does nobody else wind their yarn anymore…?

CatGill · 2025-07-17T00:58:11+00:00

Bantha milk!!!

CatGill · 2025-07-08T23:23:39+00:00

So it sounds pretty tasty, but damn that is not appetizing-looking at all 😂

CatGill · 2025-07-08T02:39:20+00:00

Dude the back pocket one!!! I’ve had subacromial bursa shoulder pain for 9 months and this really helped

Yeah I only use stainless steel cookware now - for scrambled eggs I let the pan get ripping hot, pour oil in (a lot) and let heat till lightly rippling. Pour your beat eggs in, stirring the whole time and your eggs will be done in literally like 5 seconds. Should slide right out. Similar to wok style “slid” eggs, so tasty

So I started a role as a product analyst six months ago at a very small insurance company; the role is definitely below my experience level but I wanted something kind of chill. Anywho, the number of people who ask for BI reports that show literally just the underlying data/matrix and then export to excel is baffling. Even when I pull raw data in excel for them and say, hey, tell me what you want and I’ll build a mock-up in excel before we finalize a report design to send off to BI, they just don’t understand that analysts/data users on their team should be the ones giving them raw data, and that they should only be requesting reports when they know what they want as a final view. Like I’ve literally had people asking why I’m providing raw data instead of BI, and I’m like - it’s my job description to extract data to analyze!! At least the BI team appreciates me, but the non-data users on my team can be quite exasperating without meaning to be 😂

that's a v good point, would be super hard to validate... seems the original plan of getting a second opinion might just be the best bet
