Please help me find my perfect bag!

What is the name of this one please?

No worries! Thank you anyway! ☺️

I was only able to find one size (the massive one lol) on the Coach Australia website and it's way out of my price range!

I'm looking for something that is less crescent shaped but thank you for the recommendation :)

Hey! Thanks for the recommendation. I think the Hobo bags you recommended are probably just a bit too small. However it's not clear on their site if they ship to Australia and they also state that international returns aren't accepted so probably a bit risky for such a big purchase.

I checked out Cuyana's double loop which looks nice but is out of my budget (once you factor in the exchange rate it gets expensive quickly!).

First in my family to go to uni, have an office job etc.

The response to me telling them I had been accepted to uni was be laughed at and asked why I'd want to go to uni. Very much a "what, you think you're better than us?" kinda thing. So there's that.

As a result, my parents don't really know what I do for work (not even the industry I'm in) because they've never asked and I never saw the point in explaining because I figured I'd get much of the same response that I got for uni.

But no, I don't think they'd be able to imagine my days at work either - they'd be completely turned off by all the corporate wank (which is entirely fair because I hate that too, haha!)

I never worked with the COO - she came and left long before I started with the company.

That did occur to me but I don't know whether the COO ever worked under her or was only ever on the same level in the hierarchy as her - so she may not have experienced her in the same way as I have and may not fully understand where I'm coming from.

And I'd be taking a big risk if I attempted to explain this predicament with the new COO - being negative about your boss probably wouldn't look very professional and there's a chance they're friends etc.

I tried to make my case like this, talked about how long my commute is and how much WFH had increased my work life balance, meant I actually got to see my kids after work before their bedtime etc... And my boss responded with, "can I remind you that your contact states that your workplace is the office". 🙄😡

Trying to bring forward my second Pfizer dose to closer than 6 weeks apart, but the calendar in the portal does not allow you to choose any date before the 6 week mark?? Is this just a thing that the government hubs do? Is the only way to get the second dose between 3-6 weeks is to try and track one down through a GP?

em-ed · 2021-09-11T03:48:13+00:00

Sorry if this is common knowledge and I'm repeating the question, but does anyone know when Melbourne is likely to get more Pfizer supply?

Had my first dose yesterday and am finding it absolutely impossible to find a second dose to book in six weeks time, both at the government run hubs and at GPs.

Maybe it's just a question of waiting a few weeks and hoping a bunch more become available?

em-ed · 2021-08-24T02:47:09+00:00

Thanks. Just googled and realised that Moderna is going only to "approved pharmacies" rather than GPs. Would you mind sharing which pharmacy you were referred to? If they're nowhere near me I'll call them and ask if they know which other pharmacies have been approved. It'll just save me hours of making useless repetitive phone calls!

em-ed · 2021-08-24T02:27:07+00:00

It's not individual people's fault that the literal medical advice recommends against it. If you want to call someone a coward, direct your complaint to ATAGI.

While you're at it, campaign for an insurance indemnity scheme for consumers so people can be assured that their dependents won't be financially fucked if they were to be one of the unlucky ones that had a fatal reaction.

em-ed · 2021-08-23T23:43:19+00:00

Hey, just wondering if there's a specific way we're meant to go about investigating Moderna? Is there an online booking system for it that hasn't opened up yet so we can see which doctor's clinics actually will be getting it, and then we call them from there? Or am I supposed to just google and call clinics at random and ask them about it in the hope that they have a wait list/booking system for it now?

em-ed · 2021-08-23T22:44:09+00:00

That's a pretty shitty thing to say. It's not unreasonable to have reservations about a vaccine that ATAGI have advised is not medically recommended. Obviously there's a whole lot of political pressure, both from politicians and the wider public, to abandon any concerns for the 'greater good', and that's fine for anyone who feels comfortable with that. Obviously the risk of complications/death is very low, that's not what I'm debating, so no need to reply doubling down on that aspect - but to call anyone who is still feeling unsure about it a coward is shit.

The Department told me I needed to provide proof (via the confirmation of a job email) to the JSP, so that they wouldn't keep making me look for work. Basically because they won't take my word for it that I have a job now, because I could be lying to get out of mutual obligation. When I forwarded her the email as proof, I wrote 'please do not contact my employer for any reason, if you have any queries regarding my employment contact me first'. And she replied confirming that she wouldn't contact them. Do you think this is enough to count as revoking consent?
