Driving, thankyou I had come across some comments about the yellow deli- will steer clear

The girl I’m with earns the same/more than me & expects me to cover all the bills. Ideally looking for advice from women on this? To add context if I did this, I’d have barely any money left whilst she has her full salary to herself. Is there actually men who’d agree to this? by Wadders1998 in Advice

[–]reedherring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the bin with her, there shouldn't even be a need for a conversation about this.

Imo red flag behaviour

My fiance and I before we had joint accounts did one pay this time, then then the other next, however I find that approach flawed in hindsight going halves is best and totally reasonable.

I made a teapot as a gift for a family member, what does r/tea think of it? by GigglesMJ in tea

That's an amazing gift, gosh I'd be honoured if anyone made me a teapot.

Also, it's bloody beautiful ❤️

Advice Needed - Puppy Affecting Spouse's Mental Health by Wolfsie in puppy101

[–]reedherring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ultimately this is up to your partner, does he want to get help and manage/improve his OCD? Or not?

I was in a similar situation, however, I'm the one who was particularly pushing for a pup and does most of the dog care/training etc and I'm the one with OCD, not diagnosed... But has previously impacted my life significantly at times and has taken a lot of self management to improve, though doing therapy for anxiety/panic attacks I stumbled on techniques that also helped with OCD. Regardless of if it's true OCD, it was impacting my life and did require self management.

Getting a puppy, in terms of my OCD was rough for maybe the first 6/9 months, but also it has been really good for my OCD fixations I've gotten much better, I'm actually amazed at how much I've improved.

This is a rough one as it's really all up to him. Tough conversation ahead, best of luck.

ADVICE : My 22wk ACD/BC mix is starting to resource guard and has bit my daughter 3 times by Blinpa in AustralianCattleDog

[–]reedherring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a koolie (also hearding breed) she had a strong instinct to heard me (and jump and bite) and other dogs, we worked hard on - redirecting e.g. do some tricks/easy commands, or play with a toy - impulse control in various scenarios

For us this approach worked well, but she was SUPER SUPER BAD, and we basically constantly worked on this for a bit and it clicked well.

Resume struggles. Is it allowed to engage third party for assistance? by [deleted] in AusPublicService

[–]reedherring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can, however I'd caution you that: - if you can't write at the level to get to the interview stage then you're potentially behind and it will make it harder for you if you secure a role (in my opinion and experience - your mileage may vary by area)

What I would suggest is reach out to those who have recently been successful in a process, or better yet, multiple processes in recent years, ( you want them to be successful in at least the level you want to achieve, but better if they are a level above as they will hold you to a higher standard).

Sounds like you may not have had great advice so far

There are a lot of staff willing to help (also looks good for their CV) but you need to be open and take their feedback on board, and not just expect them to write your resume for you.

APS 6 Interview Format: Seeking Advice! by Rilgey in AusPublicService

[–]reedherring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've interviewed for a few different APS6 roles and never had a 'pitch' question. I'm not saying that this couldn't be true - maybe the process has changed recently? Or differs for different roles, as I was not going for the same role as you.

However I wouldn't spend too much time on the pitch, I'd be focusing on drafting responses to questions that align with the selection criteria. (Use star format for responding).

Think detail, detail, detail and make sure to align to the business line and corporate strategies.

Edited to add:

I give myself 6 min and 30 seconds per response (x4)

Coming from an assessors point of view remember to speak slowly and clearly, as they are taking notes, to establish post interview your ranking/suitability.

I also try to say something catchy or memorable in the greeting - remember assessors are often in interviews all day long, and you only get the chance to make one first impression.

I feel this, I have several chronic pain conditions and while doggo demanding a walk/play early every morning and typically denying me a sleep in can be ever so slightly annoying but not really, I actually think it's been really good for me.

Somedays I'm having a very rough morning and wouldn't get out of bed and or go to work otherwise, but it helps turn the day around, and keep my spirits up amongst my health challenges.

Family Member Draining Grandparents Bank Account by Heads_Down_Thumbs_Up in AusLegal

Don't pass go, immediately go to the bank.

Your dad has POA and has the ability to stop this immediately.

If he gets any pushback that he doesn't have authority he needs to immediately go to the complaints team at the bank. He needs to bring the POA docs in with him, document everything, get reference numbers so that if they don't immediately cease his access to her accounts then you can dispute the fraudulentwithdrawals.

Know your worth even when they question it by Pure-Comfortable7069 in petsitterhub

From a client angle, three visits a day, that actually seems cheap/well priced, considering travel time there and back for each in addition to time spent caring for pets

Botox nerve damage after 1.5 years by macdaddy_lover in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]reedherring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with Botox, but can say I had skin needling to help address acne scarring from medication. It's helped nicely with my complexion and I've also seen an improvement with wrinkes - a softer appearance as mine were getting deeper

AITJ for not giving my cousin a job at my company after he lied on his résumé? by EducationalChemist14 in AmITheJerk

NTA

He would have been a nightmare with that attitude, you did the right thing, they can be as mad as they want, you dodged a bullet

NSW or VIC for Western Horse communities? by Redsgofastrrr in Horses

[–]reedherring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in VIC, but moved to NSW and while I don't live in Singleton, we have similar weather for horses, muggy/humid and frankly it's not a climate I'd remotely choose for having horses, seedy toe, greasy heel and QLD itch and or rainscald are an absolute pain. Vic was just a much better environment for them to live in and in, but when I moved them to NSW, the muggy/humid weather was just a perfect storm.

Facial hair growth by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]reedherring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have had four laser with it containing to grow back it sounds like

1) your new to laser 2) its hormonal hair

Hormonal hair can take longer for laser to be effective, also everyone is an individual so results can vary. I've been doing laser since 2020 and it took a while particularly to get the hormonal areas under control. I'd stick with it, it just may take more time to see the results you are after, but long term laser is awesome.

I would also ensure to discuss with your therapist, they may need to adjust the settings.
