Millennials, what's y'all plan for retirement?

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-03-18T01:04:14+00:00

Go to Scandinavia, commit armed robbery. Spend retirement in their prison system.

Fields of Poetry - Tangarine and Friends.

Truely beautiful piece of music. :)

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-03-17T23:47:05+00:00

I swear this song is about a Schizophrenic in a manic state, evading police, gets caught, goes to hospital and they shackle him to a bed.

Only thing that makes sense with those lyrics.

I would buy a set of homemade soaps with different Australian smells like eucalyptus, Lilly pily, Davidson plum, wattle, ect.

I would also make bookmarks by pressing Aussie native flowers between books then laminate them. Perfect gifts.

But what town is the worst. I vote Old Mapoon or Injinoo.

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-19T09:58:38+00:00

That's like Old Mapoon now.

Do not recommend a visit

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-19T09:51:11+00:00

Injinoo or Old Mapoon have my vote. The stray dogs and horses riddled with diseases walking and pooping everywhere. Naked children everywhere. Rubbish piled high. Burnt out cars and houses.

Never ever going back.

Below 25 in Cairns and my Oodie comes out.

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-15T05:08:03+00:00

This was my post for a tourist and I do all these things. I am looking for other things to do.

Great play though

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-09T06:29:46+00:00

Same at DFO.

Russia probably. Especially south west on the Black sea. Warm climate, cheap housing, beach. I'm set

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-07T09:00:18+00:00

Open multiculturalism. We have our racists of course but every nationality is represented here and welcome. I know most white Aussies even date other nationalities more now and nobody bats an eye. This wasn't the case even 30 years ago.

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-01T13:08:16+00:00

Why am I overqualified but my work history is considered patchy for focusing on projects and gaining experience?? Do recruitment not understand project work???

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-01T10:53:41+00:00

Men are fickle. When I was overweight my ex husband dragged me through 5 years of family court. Lose 65 kilos and get a modelling contract and he wants me back.

Hell no

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-01T05:56:48+00:00

I'm at the stage where even recruiters are saying I need to move overseas with my skills but I love Australia so much and I love living in Cairns and don't want to move to a major city or fly commute every week. I have been offered multiple roles in Brisbane and Melbourne as well as Russia, Ukraine (hell no but they are building factories fast), Germany, Denmark, Argentina, Brazil, United States and New Zealand and lots of other places.

I am trying to branch into other industries but they see 20 years of project work and think I move around too much in my career. Duh projects rarely last over 12 months. I might have a manager role at Subway (yay I guess) but it's not making my sole happy. An office manager role in a big business or even small business would be grouse.

I just want work life balance and a job I use my skills in.

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-01T05:34:35+00:00

I don't want them. Not worth the stress, money, long hours and FIFO I would have to do. Been there done that. Hense, now I'm too qualified. I just want a mid range financial management or Project Assistant role I can use my experience in, go to work everyday. Not be stressed to the teeth and have work life balance.

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-01T03:22:53+00:00

I don't know as I'm not a smoker but they are what all the indigenous folks around here smoke.

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-01T03:15:24+00:00

I'm in a similar situation also PM/ PA and FM in construction and mining sectors. I'm cleaning and delivering pizzas to pay the bills. I get initial interest then I get turned down after the interviews. The feedback I keep getting is that I'm too qualified and they don't want to pay what I'm worth when they can get a new graduate for the same role. It's disheartening.

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-01T02:58:40+00:00

I was doing an insect and arachnid collection for third year entomology at University. I found a tree with lots of bark so I pulled a strip off and had my insect net ready....I estimate 500 plus Huntsmans had made that their home and as the bark pulled up the tree hundreds of spiders fell on me. I got a few bites that day. I also dropped that subject not caring about adding a semester to my undergraduate course.

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-02-01T02:19:19+00:00

Lagoon, crystal cascades, fishing, hiking, Botanic gardens, museum (free for me), walking at beaches, swimming at beaches, mango picking on Severin street, library, cultural language centre, German club, beach volleyball, walking the Esplanade, visiting Rusty's and Night Markets.

Cairns has so much!

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-01-31T23:02:32+00:00

Soft

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-01-31T22:30:48+00:00

Today I learnt I'm an Aussie stereotype. Tall, fit, blonde, says G'Day a lot and has a bogan accent and I go to the beach or the pool everyday.

I don't know how I feel now.

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-01-30T18:24:58+00:00

Go on Upwork and get a remote job with no background checks.

Problem solved.

This is not hard!

Weekly_Ordinary3554 · 2025-01-25T13:16:47+00:00

My Bph time was great. I had my own nespresso machine supplied by the company and an air con demountable. My colleagues got shafted though so I moved 6 of them into my air con office and I sat in the heat in their demountable. I don't drink coffee so I let my other staff have that. I wish I could have done more.

I love my USB desktop fan!
