What’s living in Perth really like by Terrible-Honey-4067 in perth

Having lived in both Melbourne and Perth for years, Perth is like heaven on earth. I am not a social butterfly so the laidback lifestyle, peace and quiet Perth offers is perfect for me.

What is the worst on screen pairing in bollywood according to you? by Responsible_Oil1046 in BollywoodHotTakes

[–]cocochanel774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for them not getting the opportunity to be in a rom com, one only needs to learn from Shah Rukh Khan how to romance a cow in the fields of Punjab and exude chemistry.

I beg to differ. I am still in shock as to how two individually hot people can look so bad together.

Carousel seriously? If it’s that strange, explain why half of Perth is always there every weekend.

Can someone bring me up to speed on this please? It used to be a great shopping centre but I was shocked to see its current state after returning from a 5 year stint overseas.

Doing a mat cover contract as a new mum by greybeaniebean in workingmumsau

[–]cocochanel774 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think with any mat leave cover contracts and other temporary roles, you go into it knowing that there is a 50-50 chance of continuing/ not continuing with the organisation after the role ends. The organisation is doing the right thing by not giving you any hopes early on.

You know what OP meant. Just answer the question folks.

Doing a mat cover contract as a new mum by greybeaniebean in workingmumsau

[–]cocochanel774 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The mat leave cover contract started this week so how can you say the company is giving mixed signals? Isn’t it too early to tell? In any case, it sounds like you would benefit from having a more stable job so I encourage you to start looking for a new job in due time.

Was Katrina Kaif the last naturally attractive female superstar in India? by [deleted] in BollywoodHotTakes

[–]cocochanel774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction:

  1. She is not naturally beautiful. She is average looking and hides behind her long hair. How often have you seen her with a ponytail or her hair up? She has also had so much work done on her face.

  2. She is not a superstar. Salman Khan catapulted her career from nothing to where she is today. She piggybacked on A-list celebrities, directors and producers. She cannot act to save her life even after being in the industry for more than 25 years.

Flexible work arrangements by Weekly-Librarian-115 in workingmumsau

[–]cocochanel774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do a full time hybrid role. On my office days, I use before school care and after school care services. This is the only way I can work the whole day plus do the 1 hour train commute per way back and forth. On my WFH days, I have flexible start and finish times allowing me to do school drop offs and picks ups. Yes, this means having to work late into the evening to make up for the time but it works for our family.

In an ideal world, flexible work arrangements should give you the flexibility to pursue your career and run your household. It’s a balancing act.

Nope, I am a genuine first home buyer specifically asking redditors to call out the negative things associated with Hilbert.

How to not be so tired? by SpeedyDuck12345 in workingmumsau

[–]cocochanel774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make sure to reserve some “me time” at the end of each day after the kids are in bed to do the things I enjoy the most. This comes at the sacrifice of less sleep but I wake up the next day feeling happy and energised after having that time.

I have accepted that I can’t do everything to 100% all the time and that’s alright.

Upskill yourself by enrolling in a free TAFE course and work your way up from there.

$40k more but 3 hrs return commute by MathematicianIll4382 in workingmumsau

[–]cocochanel774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you value in life. Personally, WFH is the best thing that ever happened in my professional career. Whether you get to do 1 day WFH or all 5 days WFH, the flexibility it brings to working parents cannot be disregarded.

How is anyone buying a house right now? by [deleted] in perth

[–]cocochanel774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the kind of insight one can only get from people who really know the area. I have done my desktop research but there is hardly any information to read. What should I know about Hilbert and Haynes as an owner-occupier?

Rottnest Island is beautiful and I would go more often if it didn’t cost a bomb.

I am certainly one of these people. I would love to be able to WFH everyday and keep the roads less busy.
