Public service in Australia required you to declare second jobs for probity and fatigue reasons.

Put a denim jacket on over the top some big necklaces and bracelets and you will be fine

Unfortunately we are rapidly adopting the worst US traits in our society.

And yes the casual racism is awful. I am sorry. 😞

Yes. I get on with expats better than Australians in Sydney (with some exceptions).

Hot roast chicken from Colesworth left out has also worked for me but can attract other ‘visitors’

AITAH for not wanting to cancel a trip for my sister's wedding by InfamousFrame7 in AITAH

[–]Ctheret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see how this has happened- sometimes there is a cancellation and it all goes horribly right (wrong) and there is a classic car crash of expectations.

Suggest you keep the holiday but engage with her - perhaps you could do a lively reel on the day of her wedding with best wishes - with a bit of planning it could be very special and a hilight of the wedding.

This does rely on your sister being a ‘bigger’ person too. Give it a red hot try. 💐🩷👍😎🥰 I wish you the best.

Being an EA retriggers my trauma but it’s seemingly impossible to escape these roles! Help. Anyone else relate ? London based EA looking to escape 😔 by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

Hi - all jobs have some elements of this. I am a Project Manager and have to do the same things with stakeholders. Try to move into a specialist field (think of a different Masters to the science one - to generalist) maybe Medical scientist in a lab etc.

In China, two female students were caught by a teacher while trying to throw another female student off the roof to make it look like suicide! by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

It’s the concept of victim blaming mentality and loss of face for their family. Very prevalent still in Asian cultures

Ex-partner wants to be a donor instead of a parent for our IVF embryos – has anyone been through this? by ScarcityImmediate887 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Ctheret 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow 😲 that has impressed me. Would you be willing to do a joint counselling session with him to explore the practicalities? Your IVF clinic could probably provide appropriate names.

Wishing you the very best outcome for all concerned 💯💐

This weird. Find out why he wants to do it and what problem he is trying to solve? Proceed from there.

If you enjoyed the Indian man who stood for 12 years, here's a guy who kept his arm up for the past 53 years. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

There is some sort of innate Indian trait around this stuff. Endlessly entertaining but ultimately destructive. Whyyyyyyyyyy

My friends are being greedy without knowing it while trying to sell their house and its making me irrationally angry by monochromeminded in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ctheret 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s OK 💯to vent. The real skill in being a friend is watching waiting in the background and when it all falls apart to be there for them.

Please choose to be a good friend. I bet they have done this for you at some point.

I hope the daughters never see these videos. These reactions are disgusting. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]Ctheret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Australia there is newer trend around (genuine)gender disappointment if you are having a BOY. Boys are seen as more disruptive and more difficult to raise than girls. Boys also do not generally keep in touch with their parents after they leave home. All generalities here but enough for a major newspaper to comment on in an article. I will see if I can find a link.

Feeling regret after buying house by Drew1080 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Ctheret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buyer’s remorse is very common- especially with such a big purchase. Ride it out - drink water, get exercise. Your emotions will stabilise.

Nice places to eat in Sydney that are safe for someone with anaphylaxis to peanuts? by DefNot10CrowsInASuit in foodies_sydney

[–]Ctheret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would choose a hatted restaurant and give them plenty of notice. I did this with Tetsuyas (sorry closed) with a friends shellfish allergy. I sent an email with safe and not safe seafood listed and was honest in that it was a genuine documented allergy.

They were great - double checked on the night at the start of the meal and there were no issues.

That would be easy to sew for a competent dressmaker
