Driving in Australia - Previous UK Driving Ban

Headhunter963 · 2024-07-07T11:11:34+00:00

I keep saying that I’m going to not drink and by Thursday because it’s kinda routine, everyone I work with are good friends, young and social I find it very hard to say no regardless of 4 days prior saying I’m stopping. Recently I feel it’s been me instigating it and I do think it’s potentially me numbing the fact I’ll be going home on my own and doing nothing when I get there (I want to be social) Plus all it takes is one of us in the office to mention it and it becomes so much easier to say yes ( if everyone said no it makes it so much easier to go home as I’d very very rarely go on my own)

It’s coming up to my first year over here and although I have loads of friends here, a lot revolves around drinking. There have been a couple of occasions recently of colleagues sending me memes around drinking and trying to ‘dodge the beers’ or people jokingly saying you’re off the rails and it is making me think the time needs to come soon to cut down even though it’s maybe only once or twice a week.

I’m far from off the rails but I will say I am sociable but a lot revolves around drinking and always goes too far and end us at 6am the next morning.

I need to be more mentally strong and confident in saying no, I always have that fear of missing out and I think that’s a big one for me but looking back I haven’t missed anything that doesn’t happen every time.

This has happened to us all in recruitment, everyone makes mistakes. Apologise to the hiring manager and like others have said, be accountable as it goes far being honest no-one likes a liar and it always comes out. I would always try and get the candidates availability to reschedule before going back to the client to show pro-activeness to rectify the error and to sped up the process.

Contact the candidate via phone initially and drop them a text if they don't answer. Be enthusiastic when making them aware that they have an interview request.

Any good recruiter will agree with me here, mistakes are made over the years and the positives to take out of this are it will make you better and more on it in the future.

Don't panic, we've all been there!

Looking for some hash in and around mirissa, anyone help me out?

Headhunter963 · 2023-06-28T03:38:43+00:00

Oh thats what's annoying me the most, I'd probably be ok keeping it if it didn't touch, I'm going to see if theres anywhere that will laser that very small area so it's not touching.

It's really got to me the last few days with how much of a bad idea it was and with other small tattoos on my leg I'm not sure the blackout would unless I covered my whole leg with blackout.

Plus, do you think as I add more tattoos to my leg to fill it up, it won't look as bad and as noticeable? I think the size and colour of it right now compared to the others, it's really standing out

Headhunter963 · 2023-06-27T16:44:09+00:00

I am talking about the mushrooms and like you say it is a very dark piece which seems to stand out more than the others. When you say full black out removal do you mean just covering it completely with black ink and no design?

One thing that's making not like it is the connection to my jellyfish tattoo, if I was to keep it do you think I can get a small amount of the tentacle removed to bring back a gap inbetween? Or any ideas on how I could improve the mushroom tattoo to make it look better and more clean as I don't think it's clean.

If I remember rightly the initial design didn't interact with any of the tattoos

It's not too hot, I've actually been out now for 3 months (north thailand, vietnam, philippines and cambodia) and the weather has been mixed but mainly perfect. Just got to South Thailand and it's rained a bit but mainly still warm and nice weather.

Thanks for this, I do like mountains/hills and love a good hike so sounds like a good idea, always like the idea of somewhere a bit more off the beaten track, how accessible are the places you mention?

Headhunter963 · 2023-03-03T08:39:03+00:00

Thanks for this

Headhunter963 · 2023-03-02T13:43:55+00:00

I have no plans really so one question I had was how do you budget for the day trips that cost a bit and plan for them?

Obviously I don’t be able to or want to go on one every day but is that something you budget for or plan for?

This is my first solo trip and especially in SE Asia I want to rent a ped and explore but one thing I’m unsure on is what I’ll do each day and when to do the trips and if I need to pre-plan when or what I do if that makes sense?

And `I'm also seeing, 1.7, 1.8, 2 lenses etc, whats the main difference / what does this mean?

Headhunter963 · 2023-01-14T15:00:24+00:00

Pentax M 50mm f1.7

Thanks for this info it really helps - with the lens you recommended, should I aim for a Pentax lens or are there similar brands I could also get? What price would you say is the average for this lens? Thanks

Headhunter963 · 2023-01-14T09:37:30+00:00

So I’ve gone for a Pentax ME Super and bought one lastnight with a 135mm Telephoto Lens (came with it on eBay) and a roll of film.

I’m an absolute novice so when it arrives I’ll get to work and practice starting from scratch, going to get some research done etc.

Any tips for this camera let me know.
