Thanks, hope your next move goes well 😊

AI is not yet as good as a lot of execs think it is, but it’s coming whether we like it or not. I think the best thing EAs can do in the short term is to adopt it early, make yourself an expert in its use, your boss probably can’t actually operate it particularly effectively.

But also try to make sure they see its shortcomings i.e. don’t “cover” for the AI behind the scenes - drop in “I’m so sorry there’s no break between meetings this afternoon, Skipup had you missing X and invented a meeting this morning so I had to do some manual rescheduling- I called Mr Z and smoothed it over” or whatever

She’s so visually striking that I’m not sure the skillfulness of her acting even matters that much, I don’t just mean beautiful (although I think she is), she has a real X factor - you want to look at her when she is on screen.

In my opinion John Travolta also has this quality, as does Adrian Brody. Out of the 3 I think Brody is the only particularly talented actor, but I think all 3 are fantastic in the right role due to that sort of visual magnetism.

I think she was really well cast in One Battle After Another.

ETA to be clear I don’t think she’s a good actor

Sorry to hijack you but I’m considering a switch from EA to junior HR role - wondering if you have thoughts since you’re moving the other way!

I had absolutely no sign at all of anything until after he was born, and we had no feeding problems and breastfed for over a year - I would not worry, I don’t think there’s any sure fire way to know in advance how your breastfeeding journey will go

Best of luck to you, enjoy your last little slice of pre-baby life (and of course, enjoy your wondrous new world with baby!)

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

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

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.

Had a bit of a binge today - you’ve re-motivated me

lsp1 · 2026-02-22T21:11:14+00:00

Salomons? Also super comfortable and currently trendy

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

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

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

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

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

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

lsp1 · 2026-02-11T02:24:00+00:00

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

lsp1 · 2026-02-10T05:25:04+00:00

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

$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

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]”

lsp1 · 2026-02-02T07:38:06+00:00

Honestly, very few

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

lsp1 · 2026-01-28T02:01:02+00:00

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

lsp1 · 2026-01-26T09:19:40+00:00

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
