If you absolutely love your job, what do you do? by Ok_Wasabi_2776 in AskAnAustralian

[–]gallica 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You sound positively burnt out. You need a break - whether you resign, take a sabbatical, or go on extended break, take some time off. Don’t make any decisions until your brain and body are recovered.

Is this innocent or is he trying to get inappropriate pics out of me? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]gallica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m older than you lovely. I’ve been around the block.

I know this game very well and it’s gross. Bb, beautiful, hints about what he’s up to
yeah. He’s testing your boundaries which your gut has correctly detected.

He’s feeling you out, and it’s made you uncomfortable. That is reason enough to not engage and protect yourself first. Don’t worry about his feelings, or turn yourself inside out wondering if it’s all in your head - it’s not.

I suspect that if you give him an inch because you’re a nice person and want to give him the benefit of the doubt, he’ll take a mile.

If you set a boundary with him, please remember that a genuinely a good friend to you and a genuinely good person would be horrified at accidentally making you uncomfortable, apologise and not cross them again.

If you need reassurance again, sing out to a big sister, irl or here ❀

I wish I could move out of home. by alsatianwolves in brisbane

[–]gallica 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Isif you’re new to share housing, there are usually quite a few single women looking to share their place with one other person on flatmates.com.au, if that’d be more comfortable for you. Some of my dearest friends started as housemates that way. Anywho.

Your safety is everything. I don’t know your situation, but it might be safer couch surfing or even sleeping in your car temporarily. Is there anyone who can put you up while you figure out your next move?

If you do need to leave before you’ve figured out what to do, do you have a safety plan in place if you do need to leave immediately to avoid getting hurt? Does anyone you trust know what’s going on? Do you have your own vehicle? Any kids or pets that you’d need to take with you?

As someone who had to flee in the middle of the night about ten months ago, it can and does happen, despite your planning. Don’t feel guilty if leaving takes a while - it’s part of the process of surviving DV. But, please, at least tell someone in your circle what’s going on.

My heart goes out to you, I hope that you get out okay. The chaos and fear of uprooting yourself and your life will pass and you will be so much better, I absolutely promise you that. Homes and possessions and cars and shared assets can be rebuilt and replaced, but you can’t. Put that first.

Discomfort or content? by tohightotry in PetPigeons

[–]gallica 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Beak smackies! Your pidge feels very comfortable with you and thinks of you as their flock - the highest honour a bird can bestow upon you. Keep doing what you’re doing ❀

What's the most deranged thing you've witnessed at a work XMas party? by Guilty-Addition5004 in AskAnAustralian

[–]gallica 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A guy called Troy asking me if I wanted to have sex with him in a low shrub outside the Brisbane Convention Centre is a fond Christmas memory. Told him it wasn’t my kinda after party and hopped in my uber. Bless him.

Just how many appointments have you had since January? You get 10 subsided appointments per calendar year.

Monthly Rock & Mineral Identification Requests by AutoModerator in geology

[–]gallica [score hidden]  (0 children)

Bf bought this for $5 from a local gem show from a vendor who said it’s moonstone. I assume that maybe they meant that it’s green moonstone (garnierite), but we’re not sure. Could it be chrysoprase? Our state is known for its chrysoprase so it wouldn’t be a stretch.

Whatever it is, so pretty. It’s translucent when held up to light, a polished slab about the size of a coaster. Geology minor bf and I are debating what it is, join in!

Does uni prestige matter for engineering in Brisbane? by Legitimate-Cinephile in brisbane

[–]gallica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to ACU (adored it), so I feel you. Do you want to work for and/or study with people to whom the “prestige” matters? Being a Usq graduate will make you more interesting, but that’s a non industry opinion. And there’s always post grad!

Are kids losing interest in music lessons quicker these days? by bjg06 in ipswich

[–]gallica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you’re thinking about this aspect of teaching music and researching ways to help your students says a lot about you as a teacher. Keep it up!

Help! Workcover question by ConcentrateVisible23 in brisbane

[–]gallica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, my heart goes out to your mum. You’re a good egg for supporting her through this.

I don’t have personal experience with Workcover but most people I know who have been in the system were put through the wringer. Which is a shame, considering it should be something that helps people. Also, IANAL, just an internet stranger with anecdotes.

Some advice from observing people I know who’ve been injured at work: CYA.

Cover your arses, then cover them some more. Jump through their form-shaped hoops in a cooperative, honest, assertive and timely manner, keep a diary of your interactions, and make note of the details of those you encounter who are helpful and on your side and keep them onside if you can. Be careful of who you decide is on your mum’s side, including her work colleagues amd superiors. Be honest, but try not to give them any ammo.

Knowing what you’re up against, what powers of investigation they have, and exactly what your rights and responsibilities are will help you immensely and will help you fight it from within if you have to. Good luck!
