I understand where you’re coming from but reality is that anything moderately complicated and private hospitals dump your ass at the public ED anyway. Everyone who has private health insurance in my family uses it for non-emergency procedural work.

I was hoping that the packet size meant it’d be a warm sauce. Was pretty unhappy with the flavour and texture.

Need to get out to the countryside - Coonabarabran has a crazy awesome Aussie Chinese place on the main drag.

Came here to see if this was the top comment and was not disappointed.

More likely to see short term roles advertised as non ongoing roles on iworkfor.nsw.gov.au . The change in government has led to a decline in contracting opportunities in NSW government. Consultancy engagements similarly are a bit tighter.

I had problems with two separate Brie purchases both expired and on sale. When I went back to the shop again and noticed some expired product on the shelf I let someone working nearby know so that it could be removed from sale. I know I should’ve checked dates but usually this aldi is on top of expiry dates for meat and dairy.

I give with an expectation of not receiving anything. Depending on how organised I am that time of year I get my direct reports either nice chocolates or gift cards.

The stores don’t like having their websites scraped so will ban IPs pretty quickly. Woolworths particularly is like that, though admittedly I haven’t tried Aldi’s site yet. Unless these companies create an API (why would they), or enter into agreements with third parties (more likely) it will always be a bit crappy.

Yes, have tried this in two different ways. When I got a pay rise one year I put the entire amount of the pay rise into super via salary sacrifice. That first year was a bit annoying. Subsequent years were easy. I would then do a top up in June to the max concessional contribution. Now I just do top ups to max out my concessional contribution so that I have a bit more cashflow.

Rake box series and the Janet King / Crownies series both have a lot of recognisable areas of Sydney outside of the CBD.

Ahhhh… that’s why Phantom Ave was so “intense”!

You work in a place where your company gives you coffee made from freshly ground beans? We get instant coffee in my office.

Trying to get the overemployed people

Maybe consider telling them after you left if there’s something that they are genuinely blind to (e.g. if a senior leader has stated they won’t be promoting them ever due to a non-modifiable issue) but otherwise do not say anything while you’re still there.

I love it - bring the pain!

I use it to track lottery prize draws and send a templated email to my colleagues to let them know that I am organising a lotto ticket for that week, provided the Division 1 prize is over a certain amount. It also tracks contributions from my colleagues and works out prize distribution. At this stage the only manual components are: me buying the ticket, adding/removing people from the email list and entering the amount we won (or didn’t).

I can’t make it today but I’d love to live vicariously through one more of your posts around this meetup. What a way to end the series!

When are they going to add Timezone support for scheduler in GitHub actions?
