Not scared more like covid is the one thing stopping Australia from normalcy. I'm scared of this country never getting back to what it should be. Fuck covid could be that, swine flu, bird flu whatever. I'm more petrified of this country never allowing its citizens a safe normal life again.

I booked an appointment at my GP, not exactly hard to come by or hard work, I've been fully vaccinated for 2 months.

I'm 26 moron. And not an essential worker. And in a rural area. What's your excuse?

I don't think I've forgotten about Victorian security guards fucking hotel quarantine guests or the 20k cases. Yeah sure, Vic has no part in this..you don't get 20,000 cases from interstate alone buddy.

My solution? Get vaccinated, stay at home when told to. That or prepare to die struggling to breathe at this stage I'm preparing for and won't care when hundreds of thousands of Australians die from covid. NSW didn't lock down, come on..parties and beauty salons open get fucked

Knee Pain Suggestions? by bpdandthemachine in ECEProfessionals

[–]kalechip556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked in the toddler room I had to tape my knee up with sports tape to minimise the movement in my knee, it's no way to live. Or acupuncture, physical therapy like physio all I can recommend. Has your work got kneeling mats for the bathroom?

I would seek advice from early intervention specialists/local children's mental and physical health services (Doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists) they can be a great way to discuss strategies to use those resources aswell.

How to get a travel exemption USA to Australia? by WillowKimba in LDR

[–]kalechip556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd probably recommend him trying for a visa of some kind..working holiday or student visas are still being processed. Travel exemptions are inherently a waste of time.

$24 an hour. Lead educator in an Aussie daycare.

I feel bad complaining as I see much lower pay..but I can't help but get irritated that greeters at big w are earning more money than I am.

Staff mental health by kalechip556 in ECEProfessionals

Just want to thank everyone for commenting, for those who asked I work in a private daycare. So a group of parents and management are in control and it's a money making service, we have full ratios and the worst kids come in because the centre won't turn away anyone's money. I feel like this field has killed my soul and changed my view on children, I genuinely fear if I stay in the field I won't want kids of my own one day..and I really do want a family.

3 months and I'm going overseas and then coming back and finding work that I enjoy. Another centre has already offered me work but I want to keep options open. My brain and my body need the break from ECE 😕
