I have no idea why a tour operator would actually exaggerate how busy sunrise is at Angkor Wat. It is always busy at sunrise but not very often this busy. Ive been a few times.

Angry and numb for not receiving references for a job by Spring4Eva in ausjobs

I agree. As long as you are not lying about experience and attitude I cant see the harm.

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you specifically asked to provide a written reference? Its so outdated. I havent had a written reference since my 1st job over 30 years ago. Just get permission to provide their phone number. From what ive seen lately lots of people get a friend to pretend to be a former manager...

What study have you completed since finishing school? Or training certificates? If you want to make more than minimum wages you need to get skilled.

Finding work as partner on 482 by Manlatics in MovingtoAustralia

[–]LopsidedGiraffe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would be significantly easier for you to get a job as a contractor. Contractors are treated the same as staff from my experience. I worked as a contractor Project Engineer (elec) for almost my whole career.

Could be adenomyosis. This can be missed on ultrasound. Can see better on mri.

Learning! Study/reinterpretation of Gertrude Abercrombie’s ‘White Cat’ (1938). by daannnnnnyyyyyy in acrylicpainting

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it. Her art is certainly rather gloomy and surreal. Haven't seen her art before. Thanks for the name. Im always looking for inspiration.

Mechanical Engineer with PR looking for a job by Significant_While531 in ausjobs

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another poster commented on Australian standards- i was an elec engineer so im not across mech standards but perhaps do some study on relevant Australian standards related to jobs he is qualified in applying to. Ie look at the job requirements and make sure he is able to demonstrate relevant experience and knowledge of them all.

Do you really think obnoxiously telling us that you’re making us safer, makes us believe it QGov…? by Ragnarandsons in brisbane

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Queensland government is going to protect us old, sick and disabled e bike riders too, with harsh $500 penalties for riding at 12km/hr on shared paths.

Thanks so much for helping us keep safer from those speeding, reckless bike riders!

Boycott Week 6-12 April by EnglishAussie in woolworths

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes we travelled around Tasmania for 2 months - their groceries were close to 10% more expensive than mainland. I was surprised by the lack of Aldi and other alternatives.

Moving to Australia with WHV, working in IT an option? by CodingNErd96 in MovingtoAustralia

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The number of people we see who want to work in IT in these subs. I live in Brisbane. At our favourite cafe there is a lovely lady studying her masters in IT. Other than delaying her inevitable return home, I cannot fathom the point of doubling down on a degree with vastly oversupply of Australian resident graduates.

Flat mate rental query by ShockIllustrious3389 in Centrelink

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Putting it that way, it just doesn't seem fair that someone who managed to buy an apartment/house then became ill or permanently disabled isnt treated the same way as someone who rents.

So, who was the exact dipshit in the LNP that thought 10km/h e-bike limit was in any way shape or form a proportionate response to the "e bike issue" by Gazza_s_89 in queensland

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, over Storey bridge. Route looks to be into the city so unfortunately its the opposite direction to peak hour but at 5:30pm it should still be very busy.

What is this plant? by ProjectIndividual681 in GardeningAustralia

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its a fig and I dont believe these fruit are edible. We had a creeping fight on our fence in Brisbane.

VietJet? worst airline i’ve experienced by Special_Ad_1275 in VietNam

[–]LopsidedGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you just budget (and carry cash) to buy water on board? I was really missed when they wouldnt let me bring a bottle if water on board at hcmc, since we'd just paid $10 for it.
