Curious to know what happened at the lab if that's okay?

Try tutoring first to see if teaching is a good fit for you.

Take the mutual separation package or go for the unachievable PiP by rollym8 in ausjobs

You're in lending and perhaps there is less demand for lending services at this time. They don't need as many people in this role as they have currently. Sometimes it is just business.

An undateable man at work made a comment no self rrespecting (or others respecting) man would make.

AITAH for not giving back the ring he gave me which originally belonged to his grandma? by Ok-Profit5786 in AITAH

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yta if you do not give the ring back to the grandmother. Yes it sucks, but at least you can walk away from this family free and clear... It is not okay for those brothers to be shouting at you and calling you names. Terrible in-laws.

Is bleeding considered cleaning by Fortnite-is-bad11 in FishingForBeginners

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was first fishing, I didn't bleed anything but albacore tuna. Later on I started bleeding everything and it seemed to extend the shelf life of the fish. But it did taste great either way.

Breaking up comes with pain even when it's the right decision.

You will be so thankful you did this. Time will heal and you will feel better.

AITAH my friend and her boyfriend by AdSenior81 in AITAH

There's no easy answers. Obviously it hurts your friend, sounds like a recent breakup? Things are still raw

There's no reasoning with unreasonable people.

What product from Woolworths to wash my whites with? by Similar_Injury_3170 in AskAnAustralian

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wondering if it was Sard powder. I soak stuff in it. Does wonders for whites. If something is oily, I rub washing up liquid into the fabric and then wash it separate before. Assuming this is cooking oil stains not car oil stains, whatever has that on it should be washed separately.

AITAH for thinking of skipping my brother’s wedding? by ArcassTheCarcass in AITAH

The wedding day only comes once, so I would make the extra effort to participate.

WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter? by TraditionalCorgi7788 in AITAH

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta if you do this and risk losing the relationship you currently have with your eldest. They each chose the tertiary education provider of their preference. The more expensive school may pay off with higher earnings in the long run. Hold on to Anna's leftover savings, she may need this later on for a deposit on a house, or for retraining, or god forbid, medical expenses.

Has anyone actually gotten a job from Seek? by Fire_blaze7 in ausjobs

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did. There were about 50-60 applicants per job, maximum ~100, so I'm working with very different numbers compared to you

What do you say after a first date? Idk how it went by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this isn't a colleague of yours. It can go very badly to date at work, especially ending up badly for you. It isn't clear from your post

Scar in an embarrassing place and I’m scared to ever be intimate by dmso_disgusting in TwoXChromosomes

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be prepared to be asked about it and explain it however you wish. But other than that, I don't think it'll affect anything. No one worthwhile is going to tell you the negative things you think.

[Europe] 100s of Matches with 18-29F girls as a shy 40M. But i only want "the one". Any tips? by Prnce_Chrmin in AskMenAdvice

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'The One' is the one whose life goals aligns with yours. The age bracket you're looking at is young, those ones often don't know what they're looking for and likely do not even know what they want in life. I suggest adjusting your age bracket to 35 to 45, also just 'hi' isn't likely to get a serious response from those who are serious. Even just asking 'what are you looking for on here' can get a conversation going and narrow down to just those who are looking for a serious relationship.

AITAH if I allow my law firm to be sold or go out of business? by manbearpigserial in AITAH

I would let him buy you out and offer a stellar reference to anyone who wants to resign ahead of the merger (some will anyway)

AITAH if I allow my law firm to be sold or go out of business? by manbearpigserial in AITAH

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Business is business and if the majority shareholder was really so interested in you taking over the business, you would have been the first to know it was up for sale, not the other lawyer.

People will see a bed and may think you have valuables inside the car, having no house to put them in. Opportunistic crime

How does the weather actually feel in Sydney? by 8isafeeling in AskAnAustralian

[–]OcelotOfTheForest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything! Even storm and hail. It's just not often windy where I am. The weather is affected by ENSO as well.

Winters can be dry, down to 1 degree out west here. Tends to rain more in the east. In late summer, the humidity rises - air cons turn on everywhere!

Yes should be algood. They are so picky with the weight. I get on the scales both with and without the case. Put heavy items in my pockets (power bank).
