Heading to Europe next week for a month. Going to be a solo trip.

Anyone travelled solo before? any tips, recommendations do’s/dont’s

Cheers

I did 3 weeks in remote Indonesian islands before meeting up with mates in Nepal.

Really enjoyed my time alone. Literally do whatever you want , whenever you want.

If you are looking to meet people , pub crawls , tours ect are a good option

Rolled a mobility scooter today, an experience i didnt think i would i would be getting for at least another 15 years......

It was 15 minutes before going to a brewery, again i would have expected it be more probable upon leaving the brewery...

Congrats on the new job.

Unless you're being paid bucket loads no job is worth too much anxiety.

Hope the new one goes well!

very good advice,
just a pity that some arseh*le can make a position that would otherwise be a great fit untenable.

I have worked at the same place in the same field for many years effectively doing the same work which i actually like, the only difference over the years are various managements. oddly enough this is the variable that makes it a good or a bad place to work rather than the actual job. even the remuneration hasn't changed much over that time. fortunately/unfortinately ( depending on the compentacies of the incumbent) there is a lot of churn in the management ranks as they have a reasonably portable set of skills, the tech people less so as a lot of our skills are related to the asset.

Heres my take on it, a management outfit that is constantly banging on about their people and their culture and various other slogans are the ones with the worse people and culture practices. the ones where you barely hear it mentioned generally have the better practices.

100%

Pay people what they're worth, treat them with respect, respect their life outside of work, and you'll generally have a happy workforce

Cheers TMB. Fire extinguisher (and being comfortable using it) made short work of it but very lucky all the same. Need a new dog food fridge now...

The real story here is that you have a dog food fridge. I'm assuming you have a separate beer fridge too Ferbs.

I rarely drink these days. I have two beers in the normal fridge. They've been there for weeks.

Pretty sad about Archie's death but at least him and Ruby are together again making music somewhere beyond the stars in that place we all go eventually.

Time to say goodbye! Was a fantastic unit but luckily no longer required.
