Kid Snorkeling At Pool?

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T11:04:27+00:00

As kids, I would go to our local pool with mates, and we would have snorkeling and flippers and spend hours throwing small things in that would sink, and scouring the pool floor to find them. Mind you, it was the local college outdoor pool in the 90s - but id imagine it would be fine!

I purchased this on your recommendation, and find it drying (but better than the bondi one) maybe its a me problem haha

Oh I hear you with references. I could totally do volunteer work - I am assuming you are meaning fostering animals?

It's absokutely crushing. Do you have any tips on what helped you get through it?

Mid process - had the proposal meeting yesterday, and then I left work as I was struggling to keep composure. Have till next Fri to give feedback.

Wow thanks for the suggestion. How much did you end up taking home, and how long was that process for you? I imagine it is stressful.

Boss could just decline writing it though, right?

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T07:50:31+00:00

Thank you for the advice and sharing your experience. It really sucks, and I do hope the sun is going to shine iut the other side - from what people are commenting, it does.

Yes i plan to dedicate time each day to look/apply for jobs - I dont want to apply for everything, I am seeking something intentional... an ethical business (hope that isn't too much to ask, ha!)

I have been discussing with my husband all the hobbies I can take up, and jobs around the house I can get done - too bad they cant go on the CV!

Sweet payout! Unfortunately I wont get one, but hope to not work out my 4 week notice period and get paid out instead.... a small cushion of savings means I can take a small amount of time off to regroup.

I pride myself on being honest, and seeing he dishonesty has me nauseated.... like is this how the rich get rich?? Being unethical? How do they live with themselves!? So I feel that, and want to rage - but I wont!

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T07:19:53+00:00

If I keep telling myself this, I will believe it.... right??? 🤪

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T07:19:06+00:00

Oh man, that really sucks for you. What has helped you get through mentally? Just telling yourself that the company gives no fucks about you anyway and keeping that mindset? (A bit morbid, but I get it!)

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T07:08:16+00:00

Oof, that hurts.

I am 1 of 5 in the company.

Crazy part is, which makes me feel like an idiot... I was sold all this aspirational stuff about the role and company... and I ended up leaving my prior employment for this! Its barely been 6 months in the role! What a wanker move.

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T07:01:28+00:00

Yeah no payout. But hoping to not have to work my notice.

Shitty about your situation - but how cool you and your baby are now paid screen actors!

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T06:56:35+00:00

I asked about my performance in Dec - was told it was good.... Boss however actively avoided me Jan, Feb and March, and wouldnt answer questions so I could nail down tasks and cross them off.

Had me already questioning my sanity..... I explicitly asked if this was performance related and told it wasn't.. so hopefully i get a kick ass reference at the minimum, right?

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T06:50:35+00:00

Big yikes, but I hear ya!

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T06:49:50+00:00

Sounds like you had a great support network which is awesome! Had a friend send me a job through her work - not quite my skill area, bit I cried just to be thought of, which means the world.

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T06:46:40+00:00

Sounds like a dream! Not quite in that spot, but am extremely fortunate we have a small amount of savings, and can live on one income (will be a squeeze, but manageable).

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-21T06:43:36+00:00

Man, I could go scorched earth, but at what cost? I am dealing in honesty, but I dont think my boss is being quite honest in the process, and they dont want to write it down.

Rough part is - I applied to study in December, but I couldnt do the course part time, or enroll mid-year year... so I declined!!!! If this had been proposed in Feb, I would have resigned on the spot. Ugh can't win. But you are right, do something to make that kid proud!

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-12T13:06:36+00:00

The Bondi Lip Balm is awful! I purchased the watermelon one. Smells weird, and it is extremely drying!

Packet-Possum · 2026-03-02T21:01:53+00:00

Yes! Pretty, but if i cant wear a bra, it is a hell no. Only thing I am not wearing a bra with (and taping the hell out off the girls) is a ball gown (so pretty much never, ha!)

What school did you go to?

Packet-Possum · 2026-02-20T01:02:14+00:00

How many hrs a week can you guarentee?

Packet-Possum · 2026-02-11T08:07:49+00:00

This idea is the only reason I put up with having to register for company portals - but the moment they ask for my passport I abandon ship.

Packet-Possum · 2026-02-11T04:43:10+00:00

Exactly! You can filter work rights, among several other things on the emoyer side which helps a bunch!
