Society & Culture Your first world problems

[PT Bar None]

Decided to go on road trip with son. Left it too late to book any accommodation over Xmas.

Reminds me of a Tassie trip I took a few years ago. Had no accommodation booked for the 28th of DEC. Figured I'd wing it. Early in the afternoon I was atop Mount Wellington. Nothing in Hobart (except the $600 a night suite at the wharf. Plan B). Nothing at Hamilton, New Norfolk and some other town I can't remember. Nothing by the airport. Started criss crossing my way north. Nothing at all the little places. Eventually got a room in Launceston about 8PM. Thank heavens Tassie is small!

* Side note to this story, is that I'ma middle aged man travelling by himself, and more than a few places are a bit shifty about letting rooms to that demographic. I don't know why. Prefer "families" I guess. Anything with the word "historic" in the motel title can be prone to this. You don't get it in big, urban, or proper hotels. I only add this because I'm sure you'll have a less adventurous trip on the mainland! Have fun!

Perth gal probs not appropriate to go w it h your son- but what about a hotel stay in Perth cbd?? Pamper yourself/day spa, act like a tourist. I do that here instead of flying somewhere. And in off peak times its cheap af for a 4 star hotel.

Sounds fine to do with your son. Little trips like this within your own city can be fun. We did this as a family a couple of months ago and I'd definitely do it again. We just visited a few attractions checked out some nice restaurants, walked along the waterfront etc. Good to support local places and then when you're done it's an easy trip home.

Picked up smoked trout instead of smoked salmon at the shops earlier.

Got a fulltime gig back in August (Victoria) when the economy looked like it was dead. Position isn't entry level and usually requires 3-5 years experience to enter into. I don't even have my university degree yet.. (official results come out tomorrow). I earn more than I ever thought I would, I really don't do much work (public service lol) and I'm working from home. I want to quit and have applied for a role that is entry level and a $20k decrease in salary.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Why would you want to quit??

Hence the first world problem. I'm getting paid too much, doing too little work, and don't feel challenged. Funnily enough I want to make a difference

Do some volunteer work in your spare time

 

[Catfish Alley]

Or just ask to take on some more. You’re barely out of probation period so they’ve probably been taking it easy in you. Quitting after a few months isn’t going to look great.

Spend some time in the corporate world, you'll have those virtuous tendencies bred out of you very quick!

At the doctors just then. Waited close to 45mins (with an appointment- got there 5mins before) while 2 ppl went ahead of me, including 1 that came in after me ffs.

Bahahah I got white today.

White has a nice perfume that yellow doesnt

Mainly yellow was invented for the canning industry so they didnt go brown looking

Chuck me the 20k difference and then that should sort out the feeling of being overpaid.

I've either bitten the back of my tongue really hard or there's an ulcer on it. Dunno which.


And waiting like 30 minutes on a MOnday morning after 10am for a freaken blood test. Like u wot mate, hurry it up. I cant remember the last time I waited that long in pathology.
