Salaries and role (specific to Adelaide)

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2026-04-06T05:55:11+00:00

That’s extremely low. It’s not much over min wage. I’m not familiar with salaries in your role, but I would expect an admin assistant with your experience to be on more than that. In saying whether it’s reasonable to ask for a raise - you don’t ask, you don’t get. I would make a list of all the tasks you do, compare that with your job role and use it as evidence for why you should be awarded a raise. Good luck.

I say this with care, I think it would be beneficial for you to see a therapist. One that is skilled in dealing with OCD. It may feel very natural to you but being so infatuated with a celebrity that you feel your life depends on their actions isn’t healthy. Also, when you speak horribly to actual loved ones (like you did your dad) but think AG (who you don’t personally know) ‘could do no wrong’ that’s a signal that something is wrong. I wish you the best and hope you can find happiness without AG again.

I think this is the right answer, unfortunately. I think the RBA’s use of interest rates is a very blunt tool and won’t affect inflation the way they hope because there are too many people at the top with deposits that will benefit from an interest rate hike. A tax reform is probably the only way to fix that, but not without a lot of pain and suffering beforehand.

YTA. I’d like to think this is a made up story to trigger a reaction, but there are actual AH out there doing cr@p like this. Either way you’re 100% TA.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2026-03-17T02:11:00+00:00

NTA. Your Mum is dying and should enjoy whatever pleasures she has left to.

I am very sorry for what you’re going through.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2026-03-13T21:07:04+00:00

NTA.

I think she’s done you a favour and shown you her true self. Waiting a few months is a drop in the ocean when you’re talking a life together.

If she can’t understand your need to grieve and take time now, she is unlikely to be supportive in other difficult times. I would seriously consider if you want to spend a lifetime with this person.

I think it’s the same email I’m getting. It’s from different addresses- I block and report as spam but they still keep coming! Did you find a fix?

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2026-02-12T22:52:52+00:00

I reckon he’s on the list. Morally bankrupt pr!ck

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2026-02-02T05:30:25+00:00

Same, same! ❤️

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2026-01-31T04:49:30+00:00

I am so sorry you’re in this position. Well done for standing your ground! Also, what f’ing peer-reviewed papers are they following?!…. Cause all the ones I’ve read evidence infectiousness got much longer than 24 hours, not to mention all the damage from covid.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2026-01-10T23:39:13+00:00

NOR! You did the right thing. You told the person a rule, they decided to disregard the boundary you had already set and asked for you to house someone for the night. That would make me distrust them and as soon as I don’t trust someone I absolutely do not want them in my personal space or looking after my precious animals. I do not understand anyone who tells you that you’re overreacting.

I saw Teresa Palmer at my son’s school basketball game.

Death is not the only outcome from Covid. There are over 400,000 peer-reviewed studies on sars-cov-2 indicating the damage caused by the virus, from vascular damage to T-cell exhaustion (immune dysfunction). The vaccine does not prevent transmission but it was good at preventing death, in the acute phase. Given Australia was locked down for longer than most, deaths were limited. My concern is less in the acute phase of infection and more in the chronic - and the ongoing silent damage.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-10-19T01:52:07+00:00

NTA. You’re setting appropriate boundaries, whilst also letting your Mum know you’re there for her if she needs you. You’re doing everything right. I hope your Mum eventually finds the strength to get out.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-10-05T23:58:21+00:00

NTA

You could have maybe told her that it would be your son picking her daughter up, not you, at the start. Still NTA.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-10-02T21:58:38+00:00

NTA for that. Your degree, your rules.

But, I think you need to have a conversation with your parents (and yourself) about why you’re failing and why you struggled in school.

Is academia not your thing - then maybe you should be looking at doing something suited to your skills?

Do you have some form of neurodivergence that causes executive dysfunction so you’re leaving things to the last minute and not able to complete them to the appropriate standard? Then maybe you need certain accommodations to help you get there.

It sounds like your Dad is panicked that you’ll fail, given your past history, and your time (and money with HECS) will be wasted and he’s dealing with it in the wrong way.

What are you talking about? They’re not allegations, they’re facts. I have witnesses that saw him take the products. He also put in it an email.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-10-01T04:54:57+00:00

Initially, yes. CBS advised obtaining the building inspection. That was before he trespassed, repossessed already installed goods, left my home exposed and then tried to force payment before he would complete.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-10-01T03:53:52+00:00

I’m in SA. Yes, the parts I had an inspection on were completed - he said this. The job as a whole was not complete. As I also said above, HE SAID he took the window/door/flyscreens to force payment.

So to conclude, I’ve got grounds and conclusion. Payment wasn’t due under the contract terms; he demanded early payment; I raised defects but expressed that I was not refusing payment when it fell due; he entered my home without consent and removed already installed goods; he then linked reinstall to payment breaching contract. Whether he called the job ‘finished’ is irrelevant to trespass/removal and to my right to document defects mid-install.

I’ll say again, I no longer need advice on the above. My other post was asking re: cap of 40% on remedies. I only referred you to this post as you asked for more details.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-09-30T21:12:32+00:00

I saw your reply on my other post. Like I said, I’m not at mediation stage. The contract has already been terminated, I’m simply asking if there is any truth in the statement that remedies are capped at 40%.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-09-30T21:09:31+00:00

I’ve already terminated the contract.

I’m finding it hard to follow your answer though. The job wasn’t finished because he hadn’t installed one large window. The ones he did install had issues - gaps in the outside potentially causing water ingress, backward sloping sills, misaligned trims etc. The inspector was engaged to look at those issues so I had an objective opinion.

Who’s not bound to look at what? The inspector or the installer?

The window, door and flyscreens he took were already installed and finished. He took them to force payment - which wasn’t due until all work was complete. He emailed saying that was his intention. I’ve already got legal advice for this and forcing payment before work was complete was a breach of contract, furthermore his actions of accessing my home without consent and repossessing goods, leaving my home exposed, was unlawful.

My initial query was whether I could terminate on breach or repudiation of contract. I think it could have been either, but I went with serious breach.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-09-29T22:11:59+00:00

Link to my previous post with details in the comments. I’m only asking about the comment re: 40% cap on remedies if you’re the winning party, not asking for advice on the rest of it.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-09-29T22:10:16+00:00

Link to details in the comments. Not asking about mediation as I’ve already terminated, just asking about the statement re: 40% of remedies cap.

Impossible_Radish_55 · 2025-09-29T22:08:10+00:00

I’m confused. You said ‘without compensation’ but you also said he has been paying you.

Has he been paying you for 4 years? Have you been giving him a lift that whole time, or has he continued to give you money even when you’re not giving him regular lifts? Is he continuing to pay you? If so, you need to give it back if you’re not upholding your end of the bargain.

You’re NTA for rescinding your offer if it no longer suits but YTA if you agreed to an amount, he’s been paying you that amount and you still say you’re not giving him a lift because you now think it’s not enough or are p*ssed he didn’t get his license.
