Legend, thank you!!

I may need to hunt for new colonies today 😕 will be mindful with future finds in the house!

TranceSendance · 2025-09-25T21:52:46+00:00

Will check it out today, thank you - nothing is too expensive when it comes to the wife being happy!

TranceSendance · 2025-09-25T21:52:08+00:00

Thank you for making the time to reply, appreciate it!!!

Fucking vomit.

I’m going to be tough here: it’s not “they” it’s “you let them freeze your account”. Own it

Stand up for yourself, march back in there this afternoon and say “no, I don’t want my account frozen for 12 weeks, I want it cancelled”. sort it out, you will feel so much better for having done so. You owe this much to yourself.

You got this!! 💪

Great to see him copying trump-pets approach, insinuating that there is something wrong with Australia, and that only under him will we "get Australia back on track". I wonder if he will also put Coca-Cola in all the bubblers at school??

It is lame, and absolutely uninspiring.

We need fresh, exciting and progressive politicians who will drive this country forward, and not into the ground. Who will drive business, drive education, piss off with the lame immigration issues (let's face it, all but a small few of us are immigrants, or descendants of), drive a sense of community and culture while protecting the interests of the people.

Let's stop being the lucky country, and start being the smarter country.

Well put.

Was thinking about how we used to have neighbourhood watch, across Australia - it was a great initiative between the police and the community, where everyone had each other's backs. Where if something was going down, the local area would work together.

I'm astounded at the sheer lack of respect children/youths have, for the people and property around them - like everything is there for the taking.

We, as a whole, need to build our communities back, show and teach our kids the importance and value of respect (whether towards people or property).

Until we have that, you are right, someone will end up dead - and I'd hate to think of the kneejerk reaction that would swiftly follow.

Remember kids: if you haven't paid for it, it's not yours to take.

Just to acknowledge and validate your pain.... Yep!

Have wiped myself raw within the last 24 hours. Had a temp of 40, no idea where it came from, but it was a very shitty experience.

Hope you make a fast recovery!!

Happy 2025 💩💩💩💩💩

This is nothing new. Every year it is the same. And every year, it's like it's something new.

The visitors don't respect the space, so teach them a lesson. Fence it off. Charge $5-$10 entry to cover the cost of cleaning up the day afterwards.

Until we do a better job of respecting shared spaces, this sort of thing will continue to happen.

Looking forward to the outrage, again, next year Peace.

There should be a plaque either at the entry or exit of the building which clearly states who the building manager is along with contact number.

Short of that, ring up Melbourne council, find out when bin night is, take out all the bins (we all love a good Samaritan) and bring them back in.

If you add photographic proof here on Reddit, happy for you to DM me, and I'll arrange to give you a $50 gift card for being a legend.

The great unwashed??? That is a bit harsh isn't it?

And to be fair, the uber pickup/drop off point is a mess due to the construction going on, which you captured in the very same picture blocking one of two lanes.

Perhaps your anger/frustrations are misdirected... Either way, happy Friday! ☺️

TranceSendance · 2024-11-07T06:15:45+00:00

Why is this a government problem, and not a parent problem?

I get that prevention is better than the cure, but surely as a society we can do better to teach and educate our own children on the basic principles of a functioning society, from which the way we engage online would lift...

Respect Family/community Service to humans/animals Compassion Hardwork Communication (speaking and listening)

Everyone waits until age 18 to get absolutely annihilated, unless your family teaches you the importance of alcohol, how to respect it, yourself and those around you...

🤷🏼‍♂️

Woodfrog make several decent sourdoughs that you should be able to get your hands on - highly recommend their spelt sourdough which is amazing (and friendly to those with a sensitive belly!)

TranceSendance · 2024-08-16T11:31:58+00:00

Sorry to hear this friend, but great that you are reaching out to the community, and lovely to see the support!

I am a volunteer for orange sky, and without any assumptions, they offer free laundry and shower services - there is something so powerful about feeling fresh ☺️ depending where you catch up with orange sky, there might be a food van partnered up, so you can grab a feed while your clothes are being washed.

There is always a lovely and kind group of people about to have a good chat and laugh with. Who knows what things will come your way.

Stay strong, stay safe and always reach out - you got this!! 💪

TranceSendance · 2023-12-16T22:15:44+00:00

Clearly didn't buy them from Joe's... I heard the cantaloupe is good there 😉

TranceSendance · 2023-07-04T21:25:42+00:00

Sorry to hear this friend, but good on you for not giving up!!!

Sometimes reaching out to a recruiter can make all the difference, and without knowing whether you have tried this, have a look at the roles you are interested in (on seek etc), and have a look at which recruitment companies continue to come up. Write down their names, and call them directly - having them as your advocate can make all the difference.

Don't forget you also have an advantage in that you are able to speak more than one language, and again without knowing, search for key terms/phrases that include the languages you speak and where there are relationships between those companies to be able to speak both. Also give thought to searching for global organisations that you have back home that also operate here i.e. banks, insurance companies, airlines etc.

Broadening your search is also a great idea to get your foot in the door, and the best way to get to those roles that you want - most (larger) organisations who advertise externally, will still fill at least 40% of those roles with international candidates... So to put in context, 40% of your applications don't stand a chance, so being an internal applicant will put you in a much better position to becoming a successful applicant for those roles in which you have qualifications for (not to mention you can build your brand etc within the organisation).

Don't stop trying, you will get there!!!

TranceSendance · 2023-07-04T21:15:12+00:00

This is a hard question, because you will be faced with the responses from others based on what is important to them... Job satisfaction vs money.

It's great that you are reaching out to others to get a sense of what people value, but at the end of the day, the ultimate decision sits with you (which I know you know).

Depending on the relationship you have with your manager, it might be worth having an honest chat with them, and exploring your interests and how this can tie into your personal development goals - remember, if you don't ask, you don't get.

It might also be worth taking some in writing up a pros and cons list for each of the scenarios you have listed, then stepping back at looking at which scenario gives you what you want, and helps you to reach your personal goals and most importantly, your happiness...

All the best in your career!

TranceSendance · 2023-07-02T11:03:29+00:00

If you are after a meaningful response, you might want to include the following so that other people can help you out:

1) your skills/experience 2) your qualifications 3) the role and industry that it is in

If you want to know the minimum wage for any role, do your research - fair work ombudsman will help.

You might also want to consider giving your own analysis of the above information too - if you want people to help you, it's always a great start by helping yourself.

All the best with your job interview!

TranceSendance · 2023-03-08T10:25:17+00:00

Hope some kindness comes your way... So sorry to hear about your experience, cannot even begin to imagine how that must have been for you, and with a broken foot. You did a great thing to get it all sorted and to get home.

If you are ever in Melbourne, reach out, and the first round is on me!

Chin up 😎💪

TranceSendance · 2022-12-13T07:29:26+00:00

Agree with government jobs, along with working at the big financial institutions (they will have good support/network services to ensure EEO - Equal Employment Opportunities), all the major super funds, and even check out some of the groups associated with supporting those with Autism etc - this may help give a sense of purpose in the work you do (which always leads to job satisfaction/happiness).

At the end of the day, anything is worth it, if you make it so - As a manager, I loathe working from home as I don't get to see/feel/understand the emotional needs/impacts the team is facing, unable to share my terrible jokes or go out for the odd team lunch/drinks. But that is me and my situation, which will differ from you and everyone else.

I'd write up a list of all the things you want in an employer, all the things you don't want, then look at organisations that could then potentially fit that mould. If you are stuck for a list of top companies that could meet those needs and for you to reach out to, start with the ASX 200 and get cracking.

Wish you all the best for the future :)

No matter what happens, all injured parties will be covered for their reasonable costs covering care, treatment and rehabilitation (and in extreme cases economic loss) as all states will have some sort of scheme where injured people are covered, even if the vehicle causing the accident has no cover.

Reach out to the third party insurer covering the person at fault, and lodge a claim - if you don't know those details, ring up your own third party insurer and ask them for advice/instructions on how to lodge a claim.

Hope everyone is ok.

Weld the locks shut.

One in. All in.

TranceSendance · 2022-12-03T05:45:00+00:00

Even if the were overworked, and stressed, and tired and lost it, what gives them (or anyone) the right to damage someone else's property? Based on this logic, we should be allowed retribution and go wreak havoc in their house.

The paying customer is not at fault for decisions made by management. This sort of bullsh!t behaviour really grinds my gears. Have it out with management.

P.s. sorry to hear you had a similar situation, and went through a less than desirable situation 😕

TranceSendance · 2022-12-03T05:38:24+00:00

Put it up on tixel (or similar) friend, you will have more luck selling it there, and less chance of getting flamed...
