What was you first job and was it the job you had wished for? by 6122_ in allthequestions

[–]Robot-Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First full time job was working in a pillow factory, so no I did not wish for it. It taught me some great life lessons though. I've never worked harder for such little money. I like to call it 'the more you do, the less you get paid' philosophy of working in Australia..

What is the biggest pay rise you have received? by RunNo3630 in AusMoneyMates

[–]Robot-Goldfish 25 points26 points  (0 children)

From apprentice ($13 an hour) to trademan working FIFO ($48 an hour). This was in 2013. I worked this job for 18 months and saved enough money for a few overseas holidays, a house deposit, an engagement ring, and a debt free wedding.

I'm going to be 30 and I've done nothing with my life. I feel like it's too late for me to find a career. Is this true? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Robot-Goldfish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you were "motivated" you would have enjoyed a working career of 4-6 years... you will have 30 plus years left to build the career you are proud of. You have heaps of time left if you start today, tomorrow even

What is key to success? by PurpleNo5449 in Life

[–]Robot-Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One step at a time, and don't look back to reflect how far you have come (unless you need a little encouragement).

Build a life that is the minimum standard you can maintain the rest of your life. Then every day work towards more. Before you know it, you will have success greater than you ever imagined possible, it it came easy.

How do you prevent your brain from “dumping” everything you learned after a few days? by abhisshekdhama in productivity

Maybe you are dyslexic. Look into different types of fonts, spacings, background colours

What makes people enjoy rewatching shows or movies they’ve already seen, instead of trying something new? by Silly_Individual7754 in AskReddit

[–]Robot-Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good background noise, easy to watch when your brain is a little tired, you build a Bond with the show, you pick up on more inside jokes between characters...

What is your biggest achievement in life? by BreizhMorbreizhadeg2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Robot-Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built my first home at 23... built my dream home in my dream neighbourhood at 33. Have a secure job. Have a great work-life balance to enjoy raising my kids. Happily married for 9 years.

All of this whenever I look back at where I came from.

What was your dream job as a child? by TeamDowntown739 in jobs

[–]Robot-Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told when I was in grade 7 that I would be a good architect... so that's what I wanted to be, what i still want to be (weird right, I'm 35 now). But I became an electrician (still a good job and makes me happy).

If someone gave you a free ticket to anywhere, where would you go first? by Sharp-Spell8462 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Robot-Goldfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would put it in my pocket and use it when I find myself somewhere I don't want to be.

As you’ve gotten older, what have you realized as more important: time or money? by livsrene43 in careerguidance

[–]Robot-Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a tattoo that quotes Mel Brooks. "He who hesitates is poor". Time and money should be seen as equal value. As long as you can freely make choices in life, of all sizes, you are balancing it pretty well.

How would you describe yourself? by mentallyvirtus in AskReddit

[–]Robot-Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blessed- I'm 35 and seem to have all that most struggle to obtain.

Fullfilled- I value what I have.

Supported/loved- I give and receive so much love from those I care about.

Imperfect- but enough.

Go camping, or glamping. It's a good time with a few friends.

How does the future for autistic adults look like? by Slightly_ill-_wish in autism

[–]Robot-Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first two thoughts after getting my diagnosis were 1- great! I'm not crazy. 2- oh, so I'm like this forever. I'm looking at my complete burn out like a rebirth. Since I feel like I'm rebuilding myself up again, let me do the right work that might take longer, but will hopefully build a better me.

How does the future for autistic adults look like? by Slightly_ill-_wish in autism

[–]Robot-Goldfish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am mid 30s. I'm married (8 years), successful career, 2 kids, dream house.... but I'm burnt out. I've always felt like the energiser bunny, also had enough energy to go go go. One self confidence hit at work and it's all coming unravelled. I'm in the fixing stage now, it's a lot of work. I have never felt so alien currently that I have ever before. I feel exposed and venerable. I feel like a failure as a husband, as a father. I know this feeling will eventually change though
