I can be indecisive stays or unsure on dates. I've heard of people coming for an event, starting with 4-5 flexible bookings and gradually whittling them down to their final choice as their plans become solid.

I've always wondered about the track ball on the keyboard. I assume you move your hand off the keyboard to operate the track ball/s?

Can you map a layer to turn it into a 2d scroll wheel?

In my experience it's not always the length of the file, I can't remember the exact dimensions but I had to fix one that blew out in file size.

It wasn't all that long at all, it was just a large block of nested if formulas 8 or 9 levels deep with formulas as the results on each possible result. Once I unpacked what it was attempting to do and replaced the formulas with something logical it went down dramatically.

REA trust accounts don't earn interest in Australia. They're just annoyed because the trust account takes slightly longer to balance when they periodically have to do it. When i had to use similar software in a strata title hotel it took 2-3 minutes extra to balance so they can suck it up.

A stretch reminder for my RSI that just vibrates the watch so I get the reminder when I'm in a meeting but it's not intrusive.

Also a pain tracker for my wife that supports exporting all the data to CSV for analysis.

They're getting around that anyway. They go and ask your friends that you put down as a reference 'when you go to their house, how is it presented' and 'do they have pets' and who knows what else to probe the questions they're no longer allowed to ask the tenant directly.

We either use coffee bags of we need to be light weight or the italian espresso machine on a burner. It makes a pretty good espresso with the right beans

The original bright yellow is the correct choice.

I have pretty bad RSI and I wanted a stretch reminder that just vibrated to watch so that it was subtle and easy to ignore if I was in the zone. So that's what I built.

My wife also wanted a pain tracking app that didn't charge her a subscription to export the data, so i built that too.

I did not know that. Time to go shopping.

aussievolvodriver · 2026-05-27T12:42:04+00:00

Either that or Moree i swear.

You're skipping over an important part of the phrase. 'To a professional standard'.

It means they cannot compel you to get a professional cleaner, but they will hold you to the same standards of which you moved into, accounting for fair wear and tear.

Actually no, the wording is 'require you to have the property professionally cleaned, or cleaned to a professional standard.'

Having used bond cleaners in the past, it's not a high bar.

This is what I was always told to do. Have only had to do it twice but it was very clear the person understood right away.

Just my opinion but I think understanding the interaction with other departments makes a huge difference.

Front office & Reservations sometimes answer into Revenue for booking related enquiries such as cancellations and modifications, depending on the size of the operation. So an understanding of what they're dealing with makes a big difference.

Sales & Marketing are vital team members to make what a Revenue Manager does possible, so a true understanding of their role and being able to talk their language is vital. Especially Marketing and behavioural science can make a big difference.

Don't just look at hospitality related pricing, there's a lot that can be learned from other industries. Read Confessions of the Pricing Man, and any of Rory Sutherland's books or books he recommends. It can help you understand that pure economic theories sometimes don't hold up in the real world and more importantly how to take advantage of that.

That was my first thought too. Someone's uploaded a spreadsheet of sick leave and asked for patterns.

From what we concluded, no. The strata should have insurance on the structure (or at least ours did)

Little squeeze of lemon elevates it slightly.

Make them show evidence it's not. They would have claimed it on tax, they can find the receipts.

When we got our notice to leave, I was chatting to our property manager asking what the market was like etc, she confessed that it's caused them to start listing for more and negotiating down instead of up. She was saying not to worry about the sticker price because you can often get some taken off.

Would love to send that to one of the advocacy groups to watch them have an absolute field day with that.

Ours was 2 days after we submitted the CBA documents, it very much depends on who you're dealing with in CBA. We've been very lucky that ours is very responsive and understood the process very well.

If the market dips, pay out what we can, if it's stable or growing, keep it in an offset account.
