Yes I’m here now! Tips:
- Ask a family member to bring you a bowl/plate/cutlery and then ask the hotel to stop bringing you plastic cutlery/bottled water (so wasteful. Drives me crazy)
- Bring a skipping rope and/or yoga mat. A few mins of skipping every few hours really wakes me up
- in the first few days, set up Zooms for the period with all those friends you’ve been meaning to catch up with
- Have puzzles/art projects/snacks to keep you busy if you have free time
Feel free to DM me if needed

It’s not that bad.

I did it with my wife and son which made it better in some ways and worse in others, the first few days disappear due to jet lag and it’s a chance to read some books, play old games and get some zooms with people who I’m guessing were not in the same time zone before.

I did it back in Aug. I was working through out and so didnt realize time during the day. Spent my evenings calling friends / family and with Netflix

Thanks guys. I’m on day 3 and already struggling a little with lack of fresh air/claustrophobia and being entirely dependent on my parents again to bring me things 😊
But grateful to be home for the holidays (I’m out Xmas day!)

Atlanta and just got released today on my day 25. It has been the most miserable and stressful past fortnight

Any insight will be great, thank you.

For those who don’t know what this is, employers are only required to pay super on income up to around $230K (so $23K super max). Some companies may choose to pay above and beyond that.

Trying to work out the split between base and super on a contract. It is unclear in the documentation.
