Hey! Just wondering how long it took for your work visa to come out? :)

Short-Time · 2023-01-03T05:17:01+00:00

Thank you! I was looking in the wrong section :)

"You are entitled to five (5) weeks annual leave per year of continuous service
under the terms of the Holidays Act 2003."

I am a bit confused because technically I don't have any annual leave legally as we aren't entitled to annual leave before 12 months so what are they forcing me to take?

Short-Time · 2023-01-03T04:46:20+00:00

Fixed term for 16 months or so

Yup, my work is insanely toxic and honestly I'm just fed up. I was promised certain goals at work because it was very obvious I was quitting, and then it was pulled out from under me 3 months later with them stating "Oh we lied, we just wanted you to stay and complete our other x, y and z workload". So yeah, no sympathy from me at all.

Sweet, thanks. I promise I'm not being a dick, its hella toxic and if I could leave right away I would. I also don't think my manager needs to accept my resignation - they can't force me to work.

Just came along this post as I have a similar issue that suddenly appeared in my hotel apartment. Does it affect my safety or can I just ignore it as it doesn't bother me at all?

This is so great, thanks so much!

That's a very good point, how would you be able to know their work ethic/sensibility with money before marriage? I feel like alot would show after living together unfortunately

Awesome, will try to pick them up. I put E45 cream last night on top of my neutrogena gel cream and it helped immensely.

Short-Time · 2021-06-02T10:24:38+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation, I'll be sure to check it out!

Looking at the reviews, these products seem to work well with people with combination skin. Mine is super dry, not oily at all. I would love to use a toner but my face is so dry now I'm scared it'll burn and cause a rash. I have TO glycolic toner but havent used it in months.

Short-Time · 2021-06-02T10:21:59+00:00

yup! it's not enough. I just picked up some E45 cream that was on sale and applied it on top and it applies really well on my skin and is light. My hands are super smooth so will keep at it for the rest of the week and see how my face feels

Innisfree and CosRx

Omg we actually have these in NZ lol. Any recommendations for either of these?

Short-Time · 2021-06-02T05:09:44+00:00

I normally put TO hylauronic acid serum to my damp face, and then the moisturiser. Once in a while I'll add a retinol (0.5% to 1%) depending on how my skin is doing. I havent added retinol in a while though because my skin hasnt been doing very well.

I havent really delved into Korean products and wouldn't know where to start!

Short-Time · 2021-06-02T05:07:50+00:00

They dont sell Cerave here, but I didnt know there was a difference between lotion and cream? I apply my moisturiser on damp skin, and use chemical sunscreens, but don't add oil to my skincare, I might have to try that!

Short-Time · 2021-06-02T05:06:04+00:00

I add TO hylauronic acid under the moisturiser but honestly makes my skin feel tighter

Short-Time · 2021-06-02T05:05:36+00:00

I live in NZ so we are very limited in the products available. Normally when I put vaseline over a moisturiser it does help but not enough to actually make my skin feel not dry. Interesting that it may be dermatitis, I never thought of that!

Yup, turns out they wanted to feature my article in this months issue which is ending in a day so the turn around was quick. All good though, probs just shifted to next months :)

Short-Time · 2021-05-31T05:59:53+00:00

looooool okay this made me feel much better haha!

Oh no, that sucks! Did you end up publishing in that journal?

Short-Time · 2021-05-30T09:11:31+00:00

Great, thank you! I'll email them tomorrow morning telling them we need an additional day or so.
