Cat tmi, poo talk
Melbcat has been to the vet because she started crying againโฆ it may be that the accidents were from overcompensating with the osmolax, and now itโs been drastically reduced sheโs crying again possibly due to the constipation returning.
There will be a small regular dose (say 1/8tsp) that will slowly increase until a balance is found.
I feel a bit silly but relieved that that could have been it. Itโs ok. Iโm her mum and itโs my job to worry.
You know her better than anyone, of course you're going to worry about her!
Boogitty, boogitty!
Regarding the Back to the Beginning show:
I have always been of the opinion that aging rock stars should take a step back and reflect on the glory daysโฆ and try to be satisfied with what they have accomplished. (and step aside for the modern talent) Nobody wants to see an elderly person in a wheelchair try and re-live the glory days on stage and end up being an embarrassment for themselves and their legacy.
So, as troubling as it may be to watch Ozzy belt out the classics at the Back to the Beginning show while sitting in a giant leather chair throne., he still sounds unbelievably amazing for his age and condition. astonishing really.
Thatโs really it I guess. I havenโt had the chance to see all of the sets yet, however the generational range of the bands seemed as good as could be expected.
It's a PEP training session. We've just started but it's been alright because it acknowledges we have to work in Office 365 and how to work in there.
The main thing this session is reminding me is how much I hate Microsoft and how poorly implemented all of their products are.
Workplaces should get everyone to do sessions like this so everyone knows how to use their software, and how to use it consistent with the organisation as well
Does anyone here have tips about doing side gigs on an ABN? I created one for shits and giggles a couple of years ago but never used it. Now an opportunity might have come up where an org wants me to do a sort of training/workshop thing for a few employees. I intend for it to be a once off (maybe a second session at best) - set scope, hours, lump sum - but idk how I should be reporting all of this in terms of tax and what documents to generate and keep.
I guess my ABN should be on the quote and invoice... GST?! and do I issue a receipt... I will Google things after dinner but if anyone has any personal tips (esp anything that's easy to overlook) I'd be very grateful.
E: now I'm getting truly lost in the weeds with personal services income and whatever. Geez. I'm glad most of my income is from a job at a company
Check your employment agreement - it might say you need need your employer's permission to have a side gig.
You have to issue invoices with your ABN on them. I use Xero for my invoicing, but my side gig is my whole gig so it's worth paying for proper accounting software. There's probably a cheaper (or free) option out there for creating invoices.
If you're not registered for GST as well, then I think you don't need to charge any GST for your services (do a check on this). GST reg is needed if you'll earn over $75k in a year.
You declare the income for your side gigs in your tax return and pay tax to ATO at that point.
Thanks heaps for the advice. Yes I've already run this one past my employers and they're good (actually shockingly good considering the details).
Really don't intend to do this more than as isolated one offs so I think I'll find something free. Won't earn 75k+ a year from it either but I'll have a look into what services attract GST etc.
So the tax only gets paid at tax time, not progressively... That's good, I might keep this extra income as a buffer and when it comes to June 2026 I'll probably throw it into super to reduce marginal tax on it. If it works like that.
Thanks once again, personal experience is really helpful!
