Superthread LXVIII: Honouring Sore Losers from Queensland

[Didgi]

I despise getting anywhere first with a passion. The waiting around for other people/pretend to be buried in your phone shits me to no end. That said, I'm generally where I say I'll be when I say I'll be there, give or take 5 minutes. If you're more than 5 minutes late to anything and your excuse isn't traffic, family death or sudden bowel movement, I hate you.

I will actively arrange to get to the place with someone else so I'm guaranteed to have someone else at least.

I agree with this, but on the other hand I don't have too many qualms with doing something on my own.

I actually enjoy being early. My Kindle is almost always in my back pocket, so I use the opportunity to get a little reading done.

That, plus the fact I tend to sweat regardless of my level of fitness or how warm it is, means I don't mind a little time to chillax before I meet people.

Even though we have 3 kids under 5, we are generally on time to most things.

Found a nice hotel with rooms that include an ensuite, tv, microwave, fridge just 10kms from the Melbourne CBD for just $50 a night. Doing that is a thousand million times more preferable than slumming it in a hostel for $30 a night. Sure in a backpackers I could find myself sleeping in the same room as a beautiful Swedish chick that becomes the future Mrs BunniesMan. But I could also find myself molested in the middle of the night by 3 kiwis, or even worse, one Queenslander.

I'd rather avoid the risk and pay the extra $20 a day for the serenity of being alone with just my brain to keep me company.

Nice find!

I was looking for a hotel in Beijing, but most of them were either out of my price range or a fair hike from the touristy part of the city. Given I'm only there to do my due diligence and see stuff like the Temple of Heaven and Tienanmen Square, I bit the bullet and went with a hostel.

I generally consider myself to be more flashpacker than backpacker - so private rooms are my usual standard - but on a budget this time, so I'm in a four bed dorm. As long as my headphones are in my bag, I'll just put on some tunes and sleep through whatever may come.

I'm getting really forgetful with my insulin. Damn I need to get a pump.

Opened my payslip to see that I payed more tax for last week than what I used to earn a week before tax when I worked in an office.

 

[Dani]

$4000-$8000.

 

[thorson1987]

Ouch, would it be cheaper if you could get a healthcare card????

 

[Dani]

Doubt it.

 

[Dutchy]

Hostels are great.

 

[Jason Maher]

I just about cried reading Mis talking about his Kindle. Mine has gone missing, I suspect it was nicked. I've turned the house upside down trying to find it. Far more attached to it than I am to my mobile phone.
