Things that sh*t me the seventeenth

[Alberto_Magnifico]

All I'm getting at the moment is dating app adverts.

Yes I know I'm single don't need to ****ing remind me!

For a while there was getting a lot of "single women over 40" type ads, probably mail order brides.
It was quite upsetting because I don't look up anything dodgy at all and I don't need my wife seeing that.
I'm just guessing my algo makes me seem like a desperate old man, yay!

Another good reason to visit the Gold Coast!

Always have been. Are they ready and waiting for you to call? Mine were. And always within 1.5 miles of where I was.

I was under the impression it was only ever a planet in the first place because it was the only one discovered by an American.

I think everyone got excited when Pluto was discovered. The previous was one was Neptune 84 years earlier.

But as more objects were discovered in the outer region of the solar system they had to change the definition of a planet or else we would have dozens. Pluto is still fun though. It's got five moons. It takes 248 earth years to orbit the sun.

Someone liked the name Pluto also a dog character.

Being talked into a different meal than what you had decided because the waiter says it’s really good and it end up being the absolute worst meal you have ever ordered

Did you tell the waiter it was shit?

Nah I just won’t go back, it’s been two years since we’ve gone to this pub, we’ll leave it another two. My wife will most likely tell the owner nxt time she sees him.

We convinced people that expectations = Karenism.

If they talked me into it, they absolutely should know if it was rubbish. And you would've gotten a pint or a desert out of it!

Every time Ramsay does kitchen nightmares, there's an owner or chef telling the wait staff to sell sell sell whatever they've got too much of or has been sitting for too long. Sounds like you were on the end of that

You’re probably right , it was the saddest excuse for a pizza I’ve ever seen. Seemed like it was from a box, defrosted and put into a microwave to cook.

Not the Bridgeport then

My issue with their pizzas are excessive sauce

Now the lasagna and shepherds pie are microwaved at times

Every time I hear food being talked up.

I think they must need to get rid of bunch of stuff that goes in it.

Your wife probably more scary than you ...lol.

My wife is definitely more scary if you do the wrong thing, she has justice sensitivity syndrome .

Also I’m not scary, I have a resting grumpy face but am really nice.

My current role has developed and has transitioned into full-time, effective from next month. Which in itself is great, I'm 23 years old and I think it's a really great opportunity for me to develop a range of skills and set myself up for the future. My colleagues/management are good people and clever, so there's no issues there.

My role from when I started in the middle of last year was predominantly administrative, with a few tastes of what I'll be doing from now on. Without giving too much away in regards to industry etc, I'll essentially be an account manager - far greater client responsibility and a lot more pressure with true KPI's, quotas, the whole hog. I'll still be undertaking some admin tasks to cover off what I have been doing, but it's quite clear that my experience at work will be totally different and far more intense.

Got my new contract yesterday, and essentially, my salary is identical to what it currently is. There is a bonus structure, but it feels sort of uncomfortable without knowing how realistic it is to obtain (my gut feeling is that it's not that generous, but who knows). I'm definitely going to take the role because it's my best opportunity right now - but I can't shake the feeling of being undervalued/disrespected? Maybe I was naive, but I sort of expected that a pretty solid increase in responsibility would come with at least a minor salary increase. Time to man up and negotiate, I guess... not much leverage to use but I'm sure a 5% increase can be justified.

I would recommend googling a Hays Salary Guide or similar and lining your role up with the titles included. That will give you an indication of where the market sits, and possibly some leverage when it comes to negotiation.

Say for example the Hays guide is $15k more than you’ve been offered. I would explain that, but suggest that because you’re entry level, you’re only asking for half that now and half in six months after a review of your performance against the KPIs. Alternatively, you could just ask for a flat $10k more and they’ll likely meet you in the middle.

Some industries are totally a recruiter’s market at the moment (marketing for example- I got over 600 applicants for my most recent vacancy) so I’d also recommend jumping on Seek to check how many jobs are available. That will tell you how likely they are to budge also.

Good luck!

Thanks!!

Yep, unfortunately I'm entering the real world and saying goodbye to the mirage of young adulthood. Negotiation and taking ownership is part of that hahaha. Entry level sucks!

You’ll be right! If it doesn’t work out this time, it’s good practice.

Sussex always did good food when I worked at Dept. Of Transport down the road.

My Mums unit was broken into while she was in hospital.
