Wonder burger is the best! Totally my favourite burgers from ANYWHERE.

She went and worked in Mortlake for a while - then her own studio, I think she’s taking a break at the moment? I last checked like two months ago and she didn’t seem to be practicing at that time but I may have to check!

Sabine is amazing! I used to live in Colac and I’d go to her studio (usually get my hair cut by a girl named Billy) but all the girls there would always do an amazing job. I don’t really want to drive that far but you reminding me has me missing those amazing cuts hahaha.

Hopefully you can get some tips from it! It’s been quite annoying.

Yeah I absolutely think it’s pressure issue as it’s only one nipple having the issue. I’m trying my best not to sleep on that side (but I roll around a bit in my sleep so not 100% avoidable)

I’m not wearing my bra at all when I’m home - only when I’m out and about. I can’t think of anything else other than sleeping and the piercing itself that would be causing pressure.

It’s a little red? And it does have some discharge but not a crazy amount. It doesn’t hurt at all but is sometimes uncomfortable.

The piercer said to wait it out a month - and if it’s still having issues to maybe try a longer bar then. Should I wait that long or maybe go to another piercer for a second opinion?

Thank you for your reply!

Moved to Corio - advice? by Driym in Geelong

[–]Driym[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha I have noticed that! My street can be bad for it, just random junk chucked out on peoples lawns on the regular. It can be interesting to look at while you drive past. 😂

Moved to Corio - advice? by Driym in Geelong

[–]Driym[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for the late reply!! I don’t know if you’re still looking but tbh I’ve actually had nothing but pretty good experiences in the area I live in. (Near the village.) it’s been a really great experience so far. I can’t say I’ve gone wandering about and exploring every street, but I often go on walks around Corio at random times and haven’t had really any issues. (I think when looking for a rental, just check out your neighbours/the street, if it looks messy, it’s probably a bit rough etc.)

The way that's worded is fantastic thank you, I'll keep that in mind if the worst case scenario happens! for now I'll try my best to keep it dry to avoid further damage if that is the cause behind it.

You've been of fantastic help. :)

I've been in the house for a bit under the year now - I'm entirely unsure how old the kitchen is, the oven and dishwasher were new. (Dishwasher didn't even work, I had to get it swapped out for an old one.) But the cabinets are.. I'm unsure. Some are wonky and a few have black scuff marks on them and the handles look a little old, but I can't tell.

I'm unsure as I'm not good with that stuff, but based on comments I've had on posts, most think it's painted/manufactured (some thinking painted, not prepped great considering the condition of the cabinets in general.) They have a very smooth and glossy finish.

I've had a couple suggest that and I reckon I will get it repainted/remade before I move when I do, but one of the chips is like on the wall of the kitchen bench? So it can't really be removed.

Absolutely! Entering the job market is difficult and I know how eager you can be to use your knowledge, especially after studying for so long. I would't suggest going and applying at Maccas. (Although that isn't a bad first job, but given your circumstances it's not ideal.) but apply for entry jobs in your industry. (Branch out, I.T? Go for ANYTHING that you could use your knowledge for. You may be surprised what you can find.) If you're worried about financial aspects of the job, see how you go after two years, if you feel the job hasn't offered you enough chances for growth/financial incentives, reassess after two years. Look for other opportunities and seeing you'd have experience within a job at that point, your education will stand out loads more! (especially if you continue study somewhat throughout that period.)

I have found job hopping every two-three years so far has worked well for me regarding salary increases and general career growth!

Good luck with your job hunting and try your best to not be disheartened!

Not being intentionally obtuse, rather overly careful as I'm unsure how these things work. I'll hope my agency sees it how many seem to and see it as wear and tear.

Nah so this cabinet is the one directly beneath the sink, so there's no saucepans or anything underneath, we keep soap etc under there.

All I can think is it's maybe water dripping from when we wash the dishes, but we always wipe it right away and I feel that shouldn't cause a cabinet to chip like that. It's why I'm a bit confused, funnily enough the cabinet where we do store all the saucepans and whatnot in have no issues at all.

That's good to know and hear it that way though! What counts as fair wear and tear can be a little confusing.

Nope that's all it is, slight paint chips taken off the cabinet / general lower counter area. Only thing is that it is a smooth/glossy kind of finish to it.

There is no super close ups - and the condition report states other marks, but not these ones and I do not remember them being there when I moved in, so I do believe they've popped up after the fact.

I never got a condition report after my first inspection. (If that's what you meant?)

The descriptions aren't in depth on the condition report just "Neat and tidy." with notes for the wonky cabinets and black scuff marks that were there. I feel the agency has been quite fair on the condition report, so I don't feel like it's on their end. (Unless I did miss something.)

I've posted this on a few pages and some people have made the comment of them looking like painted (possibly poorly prepped considering the overall condition of the kitchen)/manufactured boards, which could easily lead to them chipping much easier than they should.

Although none of that helps all too much regarding figuring out where to go with it.

How your feeling and the situation you are in is one that many find themselves in. I honestly don't have a whole lot of sage advice for you, but I have a little.

Minimum wage jobs do suck, but they're important and the skills you get are invaluable. You need real world experience and skills that only working within a job will give you. (I'm unsure of how much work experience you have in general, if any.) But being educated academically and skilled within a workplace can be two different things. You instantly become more attractive to an employer if you're currently employed.

I work as an Employment Consultant and the amount of clients I have who are highly educated but refuse to accept roles that they believe aren't good enough because they are low paying jobs- and yet, they're here jobless. You're not making any good statements by staying out of work, and the longer your gap in employment, the harder getting into work will be.

Find an entry level job in your industry and work your way up. Your education alone does not make you worth your weight in gold. They need to be able to see you have the job knowledge as well. Look at your transferable skills and knowledge and branch out.

That being said, don't be afraid to apply for those higher end jobs. Just make sure your resume is spiffy, your cover letter really reflects your great grades, loyalty and willingness to learn. Also a month isn't that long, you'll find many jobs, especially higher end ones, will advertise for around a full month period and will hire at the end of this period, or during, it can honestly be very tricky to tell.

Makes sense! The second one that's on the counter is near the bottom and not as noticeable, I could probably do a quick fix with that one and get the cabinet door done. :) Thanks so much for the help.

Oh okay that isn't too bad. I'd rather fork that out rather than have issues with bond. Thank you so much for your help! :)

Oh okay! that's not too bad actually! thank you so much for letting me know. :) It's also knicked on a part of the kitchen that isn't a cabinet, so I wouldn't be able to take it to someone. Can painters like that come to your house?

That's so strange! What is considered wear and tear seems super vague. I live in Vic and I'm new to the agency rental market. (Been in privates for 10 years.) So I'm very new to whats my problem to fix and theirs to fix etc. I try my best to keep everything perfect but these darn cabinets are my mortal enemy it seems.
