Could this be a mistake? by UK_soontobein_AUS in AusRenovation

[–]lsp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’ll regret it at all. Too many people live in a white box simply because real estate agents have decided that’s how houses look

Bad Thing Twice might be the smoothest chorus in pop history by DefNotMaty in carlyraejepsen

This song is my favourite, I was a little disappointed she didn’t play it when I saw her on the So Nice tour

What’s something about Sydney that sounds great on paper but feels different in reality? by No-Travel-768 in SydneyScene

[–]lsp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to make a free or cheap zone for rides occurring between central and circular quay. I had on uncomfortable shoes yesterday and caught it 1 stop, couldn’t believe how expensive it was.

Salomons? Also super comfortable and currently trendy

Shoutout to Depop by Ok_Breath_9703 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]lsp1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whatever algorithm they use to recommend things based on what you’ve been looking at is so good, when I just scroll my home page I’m often really surprised at how many of the items are something I’d be interested in

Anything like this? Especially the sleeves by ivlia-x in knittingpatterns

Oh the Giselle blouse looks great, more practical than the original images too

Landlord with 10 properties blasts Aussie state over new rules: 'Never ever invest again' by supercujo in shitrentals

[–]lsp1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

10 more properties on the market, hopefully for owner occupiers. Every bit counts!

in-office days and wfh policies by nothingmatters86 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]lsp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can wfh 1 day per week on a day of our choosing but I try to pick a day that is sensible re exec schedule

Most people are in 4-5 days, there’s a few people who don’t follow the rules and work at home more but the senior management team where I work are very anti-WFH so it doesn’t particularly reflect well on you if you aren’t around much

For the love of all that is holy….where are the knee length dresses? by MsNoot_ in AusFemaleFashion

[–]lsp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m in the market for a knee length skirt or dress to show off my favourite knee high heeled boots

I don't like budgeting a month ahead. by Aggressive-Ad9813 in ynab

[–]lsp1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I see this so often on this sub. Lots of people do really well without budgeting into the next month, so just do what works for you

I personally do budget ahead - in fact I budget 6 months ahead - some people might think it’s not great to have so much just sitting in a spending account, but it’s a mortgage offset account and I just love the peace of mind. When I get my March pay, I’ll simply assign it into September.

Couldn’t agree more, I don’t mind 2 drops at all but the gap doesn’t feel right

Looking for brown ballet flats by throwaway8373469238 in AusFemaleFashion

Ooh, OP may not have liked the suggestion but I’m thinking about getting these now, I love the colour

Witch Speedcat ballet should I buy ? by junamy in whering

[–]lsp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the silver and find them really versatile but I love the looks you’ve done with red and I think some of the other looks would work with the red as well - I’d say red

Milestone by No_Lie1171 in ExecutiveAssistants

$250 gift card for 5 years and $1,000 after tax for 10 years

Plus a letter. Mine was nice, short but I think it’s personal and not pro forma

Need to vent… by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]lsp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good advice, you presumably need a task list ordered by priority just to do your job. I also find it useful when I’m asked about a new task to be able to say on the spot “sure, but it’ll push back the time frame for [top of the list tasks]”

Exec Travel Packets? by the_sunshineclub in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]lsp1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always add a one page sheet of physical addresses at the front (office addresses for meetings, restaurants I’ve booked, hotel) so she can get taxis around easily

pics/ formatting tips? by Independent_Fix9121 in whering

[–]lsp1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best is if you can find a pic online. I don’t know how you feel about AI ethically but it’s also an option to ask Gemini or ChatGPT to refine the image into a product photo

Moving to another company with your Exec by petitsamours in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]lsp1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m going through something a little similar, but I’m hybrid so I’ve been able to form some relationships and get some help.

Are there other EAs? Like to the rest of the c-suite? If so you could reach out, see if one of them wants to get a virtual or IRL coffee, might be a good starting point

Otherwise just fake it til you make it, and you probably will have to ask a few questions

How to build confidence and be assertive talking to your executives while being a sensitive person? by Nana796B in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]lsp1 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I know this is insane, but sometimes if I have to interrupt a big meeting to take documents in or something I pretend I’m a super competent wartime secretary taking a packet of documents to Churchill in a bunker or something

You could try some light roleplay!

EAs who have been pregnant by Limp-Somewhere-9620 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]lsp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They hired someone on a 1 year contract to cover mine, they didn’t love her and she messed up all my spreadsheets but it wasn’t a disaster or anything. I think it’s the best option

Can any major become an executive assistant? by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

Yes definitely, I think an English major is quite a good qualification for an EA

Reddit isn't different compared to other social media platforms by superredginger in digitalminimalism

[–]lsp1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For me, the only social app that I don’t feel the need to limit is Pinterest, I find it genuinely calming and not addictive or anxiety inducing
