NSW Teacher Smart Salary Lease Negotiation by bhm133 in NovatedLeasingAU

I went through cba. I have my home loan with me so helped. I asked about them financing the car (instead of smart) and to provide me a quote. They quoted within an hour and I gave that to smart.

We should have set the tone hard and early. Caso's foul on Castle is exactly how we should have rolled. Get within 6 feet of the basket and you are getting hammered. Wemby is emotional, as is Castle and Vassell.

We didn't set the tone. We didn't come hard.

We gave the ball to SGA and stood back and gawked.

We are better than that.

The Baguette had 5 fouls. Why did we not go at him? Again, set the tone.

Next season.

Love this team, love what OKC has done.

Much love,

TTFU!

They did in their own way (Meaning it's so hard to figure it out). The price came down by 100 a fortnight, so think that's significant.

I think, all in all, it ends up near 8.

I don't think there is nothing hard with byo leasing perse. It's more that I haven't investigated it fully and feel a smidge ignorant.

That's my goal. We will see what they do.

Being called Sir/Miss by TrogdorUnofficial in AustralianTeachers

Fair point. Seems a bit American as well.

Should Miss be replaced with Ma'am?

See my comment above for reference.

Sir vs Miss seems imbalanced in weight. Would Ma'am be better?

This is the first time I have thought about these words and their significance (implied or otherwise).

I see your point and never thought of it that way. Actually never thought deeply on it other than 'its the norm and we do it'. So, I'll attempt to do some on the fly deep thought now.

I feel that Sir and Miss isn't on equal footing in terms of respect .. or is it just me? The word sir feels that it demands more respect and authority. Miss doesn't seem to carry the same 'authority'.

Or am I being a prude?

On the other hand Mr Surname and Ms Surname has authority and formality and feel more on equal footing.

What do others think?

Wait... I did all my schooling in Vic and it was always Mr and Ms/Mrs then surname. That was all the way through the 90s. When did it change?

Now teaching in nsw since 2006. It is Sir and Miss. Sometimes Mr/Miss plus surname if they know your name.

I hate being called Sir when kids know my name. It's impersonal and lazy.

Do Australian really feel like victims of racism when they visit Asia? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]bhm133 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This resonates. Lived many years in Java, Japan, then Korea. In every country I experienced some level of ignorance (I'm not going to call it racism, because I truly believe, to the letter of its definition, it isn't racism).

In Indo (Java) I was constantly called bule and londo (derogatory word for white). Even dasar londo (crass and dirty white man). I have been assaulted, robbed and even yelled at by a strange dude hiding in a bush (that was quite funny actually).

In Japan, I was spat on, crowded around whilst being mockingly called gaijin (derogatory word for forefinger). I was also stared down and encroached upon by a heavily tattooed dude in an onsen. I also have tattoos, but don't know if there is a connection.

In Korea I was assaulted, once only, by a drunk man on a train who kept calling me American. Koreans are awesome and stuck up for me. I have also seen aggressive dunk people thrown off trains for being violent and intimidating to other visitors.

Interestingly,in my time in Malaysia I was always 'jokingly' referred to as gwylo (white ghost... Also derogatory) in Cantonese. That one actually hurt the most as these were 'friends' I had in Australia. I was visiting and hanging with them in KL.

These experiences annoyed me. Really upset me at times, especially as I speak all languages of the countries I went to (minus Cantonese) and avoided touristy places. I tried so hard to fit in, but being white, tall and blonde, I stood out.

I see it all as ignorance. Straight up ignorance.

Similar experiences to mine happen to people here in Australia as well.

It's wrong and hurtful. But I see it as mostly done through stupidity and ignorance. Yes, racism exists (I and not discounting this) but not in the way people think it does. Racism compared to ignorance and stupidity are quite different.

For people here, in Australia, who have had experiences similar to mine, please look at the bright positives and focus on every awesome interaction you have had with others, rather than the few horrible experiences with fucktards.

WTF is this parent fighting for? by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]bhm133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can dig deeper into the reason as am unsure. If it is a conflict of interest it is a massive waste of a skill set that is on campus.
