2023.05.30 12:21 Straight_Thought_879 Box Of Broadcasts - Can I Still Access?

Hi guys, I was a student at Cardiff Uni between 2019-2022, and I loved using a site called BOB (Box of Broadcasts) https://learningonscreen.ac.uk/ondemand/
For those that aren’t aware, it’s a video site which holds an incredible amount of archived UK television shows. It was useful for academic work, but also just to watch old shows/series that I loved.
Unfortunately, since I graduated last year, my login details to access the website are no longer accepted. Even a year on, I still long to regain access to it - Is anyone else the same?
If so, is there a way to purchase an account, or is there a general login on here which works?
I wouldn’t usually ask, but if students are having to pay off £30k of student debt, I feel that we should still have access to academic tools that we paid thousands to originally obtain.

2023.05.30 09:46 ReturnInevitable1 What essay service choose if you are an international student?

Hi! I’m an international student from SG and today I want share my story. If you are like me, I think you will find it helpful too.
I study at University of Sheffield and work part time. I could manage my workload till few months of winter when the load increased very much. I had to do something about it not to get expelled. Therefore, decided to look for a writing service that can adapt to my style of writing. For an international student like me, this is crucial, you know 😓
HERE IS WHAT I DID NEXT
I entered a “good writing service UK” in google and stumbled upon academlead.co.uk.
I scrolled through the website and it looked quite professional me. I decided to place my order with a 15% discount they promise to all clients. I entered the details of my Philosophy paper “Russell and Frege’s descriptivism and how it answers the problem of cognitive value” that wad due in another day, chose the turnaround time, best available writer and paid with PayPal (the discount applied as promised). That’s another point why I decided to try it. A few minutes ago the sales person Chris called me back to say that my order is approved and he is already looking for the writer for me. They will also told that I’ll get an email as soon as the writer is assigned.
In almost 20 minutes I received that email and a login to customer profile. I logged in and saw the message from the writer that said “Hi! Today I will write your paper. Your instructions are clear to me. If you have any questions, just reply to this message. ” It sounded promising. I had no more information to give and I just asked to check the example I uploaded and write that way. He told ok and asked to choose simple language add-on next time I will order anything. All in all, both sales person and writer was friendly and answered me fast, so the beginning was very positive.
PAPER QUALITY
My essay had to be delivered in 12 hours but I received it tad earlier, in 8 hours. During that time I managed to rest a little bit, finally… I clicked on the link in the email and was the customer portal opened, and I could see the new file appear in the “instructions” section below the chat window. Clicked on it and it downloaded. I opened it and was shocked because it was just wah lau. It was formatted and structured as I asked and contain the mistakes I usually do, but the content was very good. Really written in simple English. It didn’t ned corrections and I submitted it. And guess what? It scored 86% for which I cannot thank my writer enough!
MY IMPRESSION
It’s my second time using writing services of this kind, so I’m not an expert in this topic. However, compared to my previous site which submitted papers later than asked and ignored me asking to write in less complex sentences, I can say that academlead is God send life saver and I will keep using it for my papers.
Is there anyone here who also trie this site? If so, would you let them write really important paper?

2023.05.29 20:37 Wrong_Advance_9747 TIFU by letting an Instagram DM “Sugar Daddy” pay off my Credit Card.

So, I’m passively doom scrolling on Instagram when I receive a DM from a man whom I do not know. I am no stranger to the scammers on Instagram, the ones who message you and say they want to “help you out.” I’ve always ignored them, as they’re obvious scams. But today was different, call it a lapse in judgement or a sudden loss of brain cells.
I receive a message from a man who seemed nice enough. Had a thought-out profile with photos and stories—not your typical fake profile. We start chatting back and forth, and things seem normal. Then this man asks me to be his Sugar Baby. Immediately I tell him that I a) have no money b) have no intention of sending him any money and c) am not interested in being scammed.
Of course he launches into a grandiose speech about how he’d never scam me or ever ask me for money. That he’ll be paying me, so there’s no need for me to be worried. Apprehensively, I agree to keep talking to him. We exchange phone numbers and begin texting back and forth.
A few days go by and we’re chatting regularly. I talk to him about work, his day, he asks me about my day. Things largely seem benign, at this point I’m assuming I’ve met a lonely old man who is looking for some attention. We never talked in any sexual capacity and he seemed to take a genuine interest in my life.
Fast forward to a few days later, he texts me and tells me he’s going to pay off my credit card debt (which we had previously talked about). I ask him how he intends to do so, and he becomes insistent on logging in to my credit card account and adding his bank account information as the form of payment. Initially, I was incredibly reluctant. Rule 1 of basic cyber security would dictate that anyone asking for my personal information SHOULD NOT be given said information. However, there I sat weighing the risks and rewards. A young college student with a sizable amount of debt from living expenses ($2,000+) and a man seemingly willing to pay it all off.
So, I run the risk. I give him the login information and sit anxiously as I ponder all of the ways this man could ruin my life. Then, the pending payment was posted and I receive email confirmation. Immediately, I change my password and thank him profusely.
After a day or two, the payment clears and my card is paid off. The euphoria I felt in that moment is unmatched. We continue talking back and forth for about two weeks, cut to last night at about 1 AM.
I am texting him about his weekend and he asks me to run an errand for him—this is where the feeling in my gut that something was wrong started. Then he starts telling me that he needs gift cards for crypto trading; that I need to get the cards for him because I’m the only one he can trust. That once I purchased the cards with my credit line, he would pay it all back just as he did before.
Naturally, I begin to ask questions. Why do I specifically need to purchase the cards? Why can’t he purchase them for himself? How many does he need? etc. Quickly, his patience runs thin, he begins pressuring me to purchase the cards and telling me I owe him for paying off my card.
Finally, I tell him outright no. That I’m uncomfortable and that he had promised I wouldn’t ever have to pay any fees of give him any money. Then, he got very angry.
I am not well educated on the SD/SB dynamic, but I do know that no one would ask anyone to do something of this nature unless they’re into some shady business. Either he’s scamming or laundering money, regardless I didn’t want to be involved. The man begins to ask for his money back, saying that if I don’t pay him back in 24 hours he’ll make me regret my life. I ask him how he wants to receive payment and he provides an email I do not recognize.
It was then that I realized—I fucked up. I start panicking and shaking. At first, I considered just sending the money and having it all over with. I was so embarrassed about the debt and terrified of my parent finding out.
Ultimately, I knew I didn’t have the money. In fact, I never had the money at all. I wasn’t given the money to pay the card, he added the payment to the account himself. So, I deleted every social media I had and changed every password to everything I own. I blocked his phone number and began thinking of all any information he really had on me and what he could do with it.
Unfortunately, this man was persistent. I began receiving texts from the email, telling me I’m not gonna “be smart” and run away with his money. I was so terrified I began pretending that I was my own parent and that I was confused as to why he was looking to contact my child. For some reason, he bought this. We interact briefly and he tells me that I need to “talk to my child” and get him his money in 24 hours or he’ll be opening an FBI case.
I then reach a realization: I need to actually tell my parent. So, I text them at the early hour of 3 AM telling them I fucked up badly. We call and I tell everything, about the debt and the man and the threats—all of it.
Now, I’ve come clean and my parent is helping me pick up the pieces and figure out the next step. Hard lesson learned, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
TLDR: I met a man through Instagram DMs who wanted to help pay off my credit card debt. I allowed him to do so and when I refused to purchase gift cards for him on my credit card, he began threatening me. I ended up telling my parent and learning a hard lesson.
Yes, it’s okay to roast me. Financial desperation apparently destroys your critical analysis skills.

2023.05.29 18:33 JesusIsMyZoloft Parents have offered to pay off my student loans. Any precautions I should take?

My parents are quite wealthy, and have offered to pay off my [30M], and two of my siblings [27M, 24F] student loans. (My youngest brother [18M] hasn't started college yet.) They're consolidating my loans and my siblings' loans into one big loan in their name. They just need the information about my loans so they can take ownership of it. (I believe they have already taken out this new loan, but they have until October to add any additional loans to it.) All they asked in return is that I send them the information needed to do this.
I'm not very good at executive functioning, so I told them finding this information might be hard for me. So my dad offered to find the information for me, if I just gave him my SallieMae username and password.
I was about to do this, but a warning went off in my head, that this might not be wise. I trust my parents (despite all the stories I've read on this sub) and my reluctance to give them my login credentials isn't because I think they might do something shady on my account. Rather, if something shady is done on it, I want them to be able to easily prove that it couldn't possibly have been them, because they didn't even have my login credentials.
What information do I need to send them that will allow them to transfer the loans? Alternatively, is there a way I can set up an alternate username and password to my account, that will allow them access, but still keep a paper trail of which actions were taken by whom?

2023.05.29 18:09 Mysterious_Onion_970 Developer with ~6 month experience not getting any bites

This is my second time entering the job searching process after about 7 months with a bad tech company. It took me a week or 2 to start getting interviews last time I was applying but now after almost a month I haven't heard anything back. Part of the problem, I assume, is my resume - which I've updated to account for more recent experience.

2023.05.28 23:00 code_hunter_cc Setting up a multi-user job scheduler for data science / ML tasks

Kubernetes
Background
Recently my lab invested in GPU computation infrastructure. More specific: two TitanV installed in a standard server machine. Currently the machine is running a not at all configured Windows Server. Everyone from my lab can login and do whatever they want. From time to time it happens that the machine is completely useless for others, because someone accidentally occupied all available memory.
Since ML is growing here. I am looking for a better way to make use of our infrastucture.
Requierments
What I tried so far
I have a small test setup (consumer PC with GTX 1070) for experimenting. My internet research pointed me to SLURM and Kubernetes.
First of all I like the idea of a cluster management system, since it offers the option to extend the infrastructure in future.
SLURM was fairly easy to setup, but I was not able to setup something like a remote submission or a time-slice scheduling.
In the meanwhile I also tried to work with Kubernetes. To me it offers way more interesting features, above all the containerization. However, all these features makes it more complicated to setup and understand. And again I was not able to build something like a remote submission.
My question
Has someone faced the same problem and can report his/her solution? I have the feeling that Kubernetes is better prepared for the future.
If you need more information, let me know.
Thanks Tim!

2023.05.28 13:13 Charred_Steaks Help Pls

Help Pls
Hi I'll be more specific with what I need help with cause some of yall were unnecessarily mean last time I posted. Ok all I'm trying to do is create a discord bot that responds to commands. Just as a test I'm trying to make it input "ping" and output "pong".

Ok here's my code for the bot itself:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Reflection; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using Discord; using Discord.Commands; using Discord.WebSocket; using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection; namespace Muney { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) => new Program().RunBotAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult(); private DiscordSocketClient _client; private CommandService _commands; private IServiceProvider _services; private bool arg; public async Task RunBotAsync() { _client = new DiscordSocketClient(); _commands = new CommandService(); _services = new ServiceCollection() .AddSingleton(_client) .AddSingleton(_commands) .BuildServiceProvider(); string token = "dont wanna get hacked lol"; _client.Log += _client_Log; await RegisterCommandsAsync(); await _client.LoginAsync(TokenType.Bot, token); await _client.StartAsync(); await Task.Delay(-1); } private Task RegisterCommands() { Console.WriteLine(arg); return Task.CompletedTask; } private Task _client_Log(LogMessage arg) { Console.WriteLine(arg); return Task.CompletedTask; } public async Task RegisterCommandsAsync() { _client.MessageReceived += HandleCommandAsync; await _commands.AddModulesAsync(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly(), _services); } private async Task HandleCommandAsync(SocketMessage arg) { var message = arg as SocketUserMessage; var context = new SocketCommandContext(_client, message); if (message.Author.IsBot) return; int argPos = 0; if(message.HasStringPrefix("!", ref argPos)) { var result = await _commands.ExecuteAsync(context, argPos, _services); if (!result.IsSuccess) Console.WriteLine(result.ErrorReason); } } } } 
ok now here's my code for the actual commands:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using Discord.Commands; namespace Muney.Modules { public class Commands : ModuleBase { [Command("ping")] public async Task Ping() { await ReplyAsync("Pong"); } } } 
and one last thing, normally when I execute visual studio code the two highlighted lines aren't usually there and I think are a possible lead as to what's messing up in my program.

https://preview.redd.it/p7xfm9qe2k2b1.png?width=2046&format=png&auto=webp&s=27beb9c3bd5b92605ecbfb2678230ddbc1ac033f

If you're from my previous post where I said "I don't know any of this code" it was meant to be an exaggeration and not taken literally. I'm a second year Computer and Electrical Engineering student and have taken a few cs classes, but this is a bit above what I'm comfortable with and would really appreciate some help :)

2023.05.28 06:31 Jomskylark A guide to watching ultimate on ESPN+, ESPNU, etc – including new international options!

Watch ultimate on ESPN channels: A guide

A few times a year ultimate will find its way to an ESPN-channel such as ESPN3, ESPN+, ESPNU, etc. There are usually a number of questions about how to watch ultimate on this platform, so I've compiled a few of the most common and put them below for easy reference.
Definitions
  • ESPN3 is an online-only platform where games are streamed via internet or internet devices such as Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, etc.
  • ESPNU and ESPN2 are traditional television channels which can be watched on both TV and online. These channels are often, but not always, included in cable packages.
  • ESPN+ is a monthly subscription service that does not require a cable package.
When can ultimate be found on ESPN channels?
The following tournaments sometimes broadcast games on an ESPN channel:
  • D-I College Nationals
  • Club US Open
  • Club Pro Champs
  • Club Nationals
Typically, pool play games and early bracket play will be broadcasted by USA Ultimate or a third party such as Ultiworld, while ESPN will cover semifinals and finals.
For the 2023 D-I College Nationals, semifinals will be on ESPN+ and finals on ESPNU.
What's the deal with ESPN+?
Beginning in 2023, some ultimate games will be broadcasted on ESPN+, not ESPN3. This is a substantial change for two reasons: (1) It almost certainly requires users to pay to watch, as there are few, if any, free workarounds like with ESPN3. But (2) it is considerably simpler to set up and watch, which some technology-adverse folks may appreciate.
  1. Go to Plus.ESPN.com and follow the steps. The cost is $10/month for the standard bundle or $13/month for a bundle including Disney+ and Hulu. There are no free trials for ESPN+.
  2. Once logged in and subscribed, simply visit the Schedule page and click on the USA Ultimate stream you'd like to watch.
  3. You can watch ESPN+ on a wide variety of devices and apps.
NOTE: ESPN+ does not include access to ESPNU.
Cost-Saving Methods
  • You can save $1 for the month plan through Rakuten, or $12.50 for the annual plan. The annual plan also provides two months for free.
  • Verizon customers with a 5G Get More or 5G Play More plan may qualify for free access.
How can I watch games on ESPNU or ESPN2?
ESPNU and ESPN2 games are vastly easier (and free) to watch as they are dedicated TV channels. In addition to the methods below for watching ESPN3 games, also try:
  • Just turn on your TV and cycle through. You may have access even if you didn't realize.
  • Go to a bar or restaurant and ask a bartendeserver to change the channel. Be patient, and tip well.
  • Google "free ESPNU" or "free ESPN2 stream" or something similar. Look for sketchy-looking URLs and domain names. I'm serious - there are many sites streaming these channels for free, and they ALL have dodgy URL names. Just close any pop-ups that appear. A couple I recommend are tv247us[dot]com/watch/espn-u/ and bigbro8fan[dot]weebly[dot]com.
I'm an international viewer. How can I watch?
For years watching ultimate from outside the US has ranged from difficult to downright impossible. It's often required a combination of VPNs and free trials, or the service of a user to provide a bootleg stream link. At D-I College Nationals in 2023, USAU has developed a solution, offering a paid package that covers all semifinals, as well as the finals.
  • The package is $12. Click here to buy it.
  • USAU says there is a geo-fence that prevents users in the US from watching. I'd be curious how rigid it is - perhaps it could be watched in the US using a VPN like Hola? That's speculation though... if anyone tries it, let me know if it works.
How can I watch ultimate games online, such as on ESPN3 (or ESPNU but online?)
If you have a cable package with ESPN3 access, it's super easy:
  1. Go to WatchESPN.com or the ESPN section of your app and look under the 'Also Live' section. You may need to click See All and scroll down.
  2. You can also try searching directly for 'ultimate' or 'USA' or 'disc'.
  3. There are also usually direct links to these games. Check the sidebar of this subreddit (you may need to be on old.reddit.com), or look on the USAU Broadcast Schedule page.
If you don't have a cable package with ESPN3 access, there are several workarounds with varying rates of success.
US Residents:
  1. First, if you have any cable package, visit WatchESPN.com and log in with your cable provider, just in case. Sometimes ESPN3 is complimentary, or you have an ESPN package that you don't know about.
  2. If you have access to a college campus or military base, simply connect to its wifi and visit the site above. ESPN3 is free and included for most colleges and military bases in the US.
    Note: You can often access college campus wifi even if you're not a student. Connect to the Guest wifi or ask at the local visitor center. For military base wifi, a simple workaround is to hop the fence or charge the gate. Free access for a year or more.
  3. Try a free trial of a service that includes ESPN3 access, such as Fubo, Hulu TV, or Youtube TV. Some of these services may let you register for a new free trial on the same account/card if enough time has passed.
    Once you have a trial, use the service platform to browse to the game or website, or visit WatchESPN.com directly and login with your service credentials there.
  4. If nothing else, try a pirated stream link (see below). Be sure to close any pop-ups.
International Residents:
  1. Follow Step #3 above but with a couple of extra steps.
    First, you'll likely need a VPN to spoof your location. Hola is free and easy, but Nord, Express, etc are also options. You can also try this non-VPN method.
    Second, you may need a US credit card for the trial. If you don't have one, try Paypal or buy a Google Play gift card and use that.
  2. Another option is a free trial of ESPN Player. This is an official service provided by ESPN to viewers in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. See this post for more details. Note that ultimate is not always offered on ESPN Player.
  3. If all else fails, you may be able to find a pirated stream link. TV247US[dot]com/espn-3 (or tv247[dot]us/espn-3/) and MyGoodStream[dot]pw/espn are good places to start. RareTode (saswink), EatPrayFartSomeMore (EatPrayFart), and Sascha Vogel (ultimatesascha) have streamed on Twitch or Youtube in the past. Or try this suggestion.
The event is over. Can I still watch the ESPN games?
ESPN tends to archive games on WatchESPN.com for a few weeks. Just login with whatever login method you have, go to Schedule & Replays, click Replay, then use the filters to find the games. For ESPN+ games, you might need to login to ESPN+ first.
However, some games may simply not be viewable, even if they have direct links that still work. See this thread for details.
USAU will upload the games to Youtube at some point, but it may take X months to get there. They may also quietly upload the games to their Watch page and just not tell anyone. ಠ_ಠ

Hello there,
Not sure if this is the right place, but I’ll give it a try. I haven’t had any issues with my MacBook so far. All of a sudden, it turned off today. I could turn it on again no issue, access the login screen, and type my password. But after the password is entered, and the typing field goes away together with everything else, and the profile picture is the only thing left on the screen and it usually “loads” into the desktop(if that makes sense?), it freezes. I though it might be overheated because I was sitting outside. But i still couldn’t get it to work after multiple tries throughout the day. This evening I tried again, and the battery was dead. Now I can’t even get it to charge? I’ve made sure the cable works. Has anybody tried this before? What was the fix? I really need to fix this, preferably without having to pay, because I’m a broke ass student just like many others haha.
Thanks!

2023.05.27 20:42 ryryrpm (Follow Up) How to make a Multi-User Kiosk in Intune

This is a follow up to this post: Delete kiosk user on logoff? This was a labor of love and not without its shortcomings. The flow is a wee bit complicated and I am not totally pleased with the solution. In essence, it's not as elegant as I would like it to be. BUT some of that has to do with our computers being co-managed by Intune and SCCM and still hybrid joined to AD / AAD. I think once we are fully cloud managed, something like this will be easier.
Anyway, I hope other people can benefit from what I learned here. Cheers.

The Problem

Logins are too slow at a testing center
Our University Accessibility Center gets an influx of students during finals week needing to take exams. The only have a handful of desktop computers so they usually rent out a laptop cart to accommodate the additional students. There are no ethernet ports in the area so they just use Wi-Fi. Additionally, the building this department is in has very poor network quality, a problem that won't be fixed for a while. Because of this, it takes a very long time for the students to log in to the laptops. This is not ideal and caused the department to use a general login account they had. Our Security team does not like general accounts for obvious reasons so I set out to come up with a better way.

The Goal

Make it faster and more secure
Create a kiosk configuration that satisfied the following requirements:

The easy way you should be able to do this

Use the Intune "Kiosk" config profile template
I was so happy that Intune had templates for this. It makes it super easy! Wow I can just set all my settings with a UI! No clunky Windows Configuration Designer or setting a million Group Policies!
Example of the kiosk config profile template in Intune
Except there is ONE FATAL FLAW with this template: There is no option to allow access to removable drives. It just isn't present here. You could make another config profile that targets the kiosk mode policy CSP that turns on removable drives but then you would have two profiles configuring the same thing and policy conflicts would ensue.
Because of this ONE requirement, and it is an important requirement (exam proctors load test files onto the computer and the student saves the file to the drive and hands it into the proctor when they are done) I had to do everything manually.

The Solution

Use several Intune config profiles, one which sets kiosk mode manually
Because Intune does not let you combine different types of config profiles (kiosk template, settings catalog, administrative templates, imported administrative templates, custom etc.) I needed to use several profiles to target all the things I needed to. For example, Intune has administrative templates already built-in for Chrome and Edge but not for Firefox. So I had to import the ADMX files for Firefox. Those policies cannot be combined with the other profiles. That's why this config looks so disjointed.
Components of this configuration:
For the sake of making this post way too long, I am only going to include the settings for Kiosk - Multi App - Access Center Testing Laptops. The other ones you can figure out / configure how you like as they are really just locking down the browsers and applications. With that said...
Config Profile: Kiosk - Multi App - Access Center Testing Laptops
This profile is of type "Custom". The custom template is used to target CSPs directly. A CSP is a configuration service provider and this serves as the framework for many policies and configurations in Windows machines. Read more here: Configuration Service Provider What's important to note: not every CSP has an associated config profile in Intune. Meaning that it's possible to configure things in Windows that don't have a straightforward template or object in the settings catalog. For this, we can use Custom Intune config profile template. This will let you target a specific CSP with its associated OMA-URI (Open Mobile Alliance URI) and set any values associated with it. Intune will reach out to the computer and apply the config profile in the normal way.
For this profile, I was able to target the Assigned Access CSP which configures everything related to kiosks. Here I was able to set my kiosk the way I wanted with the removable drive setting turned on.
Settings for this profile:
Profile Type: Custom (OMA URI)
Setting #1:

                                                   ]]>            
Setting #2:

      
Setting #2 adds the Kiosk User to the "Guests" group. This way the data in the profile is deleted every time it gets logged off. Thank you to u/arkansas01xj for that suggestion!
The Result:

The main config profile
That's pretty much it! I got distracted when I first started writing this post and had to come back to it so I may have forgotten some stuff. Like I said, I won't lay out every single profile I made so if you have any questions just let me know!

2023.05.27 13:54 IliacatJoke I am in my 30s, make $95,000, live in Sydney, work in IT and this week I paid my Obstetrician

Apologies this is late, I completely lost track of the date/time difference!
Disclaimer: I am very grateful to have had a lot of parental assistance over the years and also have serious mental health diagnosis, both of these flavour my money choices heavily (e.g. private healthcare and lack of car loan/insurance)
I am also heavily pregnant so please excuse any baby brain related errors!

START SCENE
Retirement Balance: $62,000
Equity: $35k of a $680k property, we bought our 3 bedroom apartment last year using my parents’ equity, so no deposit was required.
Savings account balance: 20k - a lot of health/baby related costs have come out of it lately!
Credit card debt (and how you accumulated it): $800 which I pay off each monthly pay, if it wasn’t for the grocery rebates I’d consider getting rid of it.
Student loan debt (HECS): BA in passion/fun area, then IT/Accounting degree, very proud to say I am down to my final $19k!
My husband P earns around $90,000 in healthcare but can be more with overtime, he has around $30k in super and his HECS debt is due to be wiped out following our recent election so won’t be including that.
Section Two: Income
Income Progression: I had been working in retail full time after loving full time work instead of uni, until my transition to IT so started as a retail casual worker on $30k 10 years ago and changed to IT 6 years ago, jumping from $55k to $95k in that time, mostly through promotions, 1 company merger and 2 company changes.
Main Job Monthly Take Home: I am paid $5200 monthly and P is paid fortnightly at $2400 to $3000 depending on his shifts. Both our pay excludes tax, HECS payment and medicare levy, his pay includes salary packaging.
Section Three: Expenses
Mortgage: 3150 (locked rate until next year, pending interest rise)
Savings contribution: $500
Donations: $25-75 a month mostly to various MH organisations
Electric/Council/Water: 400 (we’re currently overpaying ahead of Mat leave)
Internet/our mobile phones: $320 (we’re currently overpaying ahead of Mat leave)
Subscriptions (Newspapers (NYT, SMH), Youtube, Xbox, online backups/cloud, VPN, pregnancy app, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Bitlocker, UberOne, Spotify Duo): $110
Private Health insurance: $420 for Top CoveTop Extras + pregnancy
Car insurance: covered in my parents plan, our car was a gift from my parents
Regular therapy: Psychologist $220/fortnight and psychiatrist $280/quarter
Transfer to P for things like fuel: $500
7 Day Money diary:
Thursday:
5am
I’m staring at the ceiling while the baby kicks my kidney, P snoring next to me, contemplating my existence. I’m trying not to start ‘the list’ run through in my head (buy milk, have I booked my next blood test, where is my winter coat, etc).
5.30am
Give up on sleep and get up for the day, I make a weak coffee for me and a regular coffee for P (I like the taste of coffee, weak lets me have 2-3 cups throughout the day without hitting my pregnant caffeine limit) and start packing up my lunch and bags for work. It’s OB day so I won’t be in the office until 10am today.
9am
After a dance party in the car we’re at the OB, all good news and another list of final scans and tests, we’re now in the downhill run! I pay for my last half of (private) OB management fee since we’re passed 28 weeks now. ($2500 (Medicare rebate soon: $580))
Stop at a bakery to treat myself before work, danishes are the breakfast of champions! ($12.00)
2pm
Last vendor meeting of the day, and i’m ready to take a nap. I’ve decided to spend the rest of the afternoon working on my handover document, I’ve only got 8 weeks to go before Mat leave!
3pm
Text my psych to convert our Saturday afternoon to a Zoom call, I’m not up for extra waddling to the train this week.
5pm
Spend the train ride home working on my crackhead baby spreadsheet (colour-coded, multi tabbed, shopping list, meal prep list, etc) and researching baby items.
P meets me at the station to grab my bags and we walk home, well he walks ahead and I move at a more stately pace.
7pm
Crawl into bed with a bowl of pasta and Ambulance UK on the iPad, kitten at my feet, older cat at my hip. Eventually P awkwardly maneuvers around blankets, my pregnancy pillow and cats.
11pm
Spontaneously adding to my online chemist wishlist of things I need for post birth and hospital bag. Cats and P grumble when I once again get up to pee, pregnancy feels so glamorous now.
Total: 2512.00 (pending MR)
Friday:
6am
Wander around the apartment with coffee in hand and contemplate the nursery layout options, I’ll measure it all tonight and make a floor plan so I can visualise it better. After boarding the train, I scroll through my due date Bump Group on Discord and catch up on the topics, many of the mum’s are NA based so the chat pops off 12am - 4am my time. I message a few friends and my bestie spams me with tiktoks. We tell a few dark MH jokes and I try not to laugh on the train.
8am
Arrive at the office, coffee number 2 in hand and I jump into a few Teams chats with various groups, including my manager and counterparts in another city’s office. They’re in a different time zone ahead of us so they flag any issues that started earlier our time and I’m grateful.
1.30pm
Where the hell did today go? I’ve barely left my desk and can’t believe the amount of firefighting I’ve been doing today, following up vendors, coordinating fallback solutions for outages, soothing ruffled feathers and talking team off the ledge in stressful situations.
I’ve definitely not eaten enough today and decide to place an ubereats order instead of raiding my mini fridge stash - Subway it is! ($18.97)
I spend my lunch break reading my latest pregnancy/birth book (The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth) and it’s honestly my favourite one I’ve read so far. I’m also a big fan of the podcast the authors run. I have queued up this week’s episode for the trip home as the mum featured has a similar mental health issue to me and I’m excited to hear her journey, also to get ideas for things to raise with my care team.
5pm
Security protocols kick us out of the office building and I am thrilled to escape! P picks me up from work since he’s off today, and my hips and feet are very grateful. There’s a quick stop in at Coles for pizza ingredients, milk and the very essential choc chip waffles. ($46.94)
Once we’re home P feeds the cats and unpacks while I get started on the bases, my birthday present last month was a KitchenAid and at the rate I’m going the cost per use is coming out pretty damn good! I leave the base to rise, pop my feet up and do my nightly blood pressure (127/82) which I log into my health app. I also add my weight from yesterday’s OB appointment and I'm thrilled to say I’ve stopped losing weight now the suspected HG has finally settled.
7pm
Take several brag photos of my pizzas #homemade and settled in front of the TV with blankets, footrest and P. I do send P back to the kitchen twice for serviettes and my water bottle, but once I’m settled, I’m not bloody moving.
I queue up the latest Top Chef (International All Stars Season 20) on Plex and get ready to support my fellow Aussie! P grumbles about my fixation with Top Chef, but all he gets is side eye in response. It’s a great episode for creativity, he even admits the winning dish is impressive. He vanishes the second the episode’s over for his office and a rewatch of the extended, super, mega, special edition of The Hobbit. I move on to Ambulance UK and annoy him over text with questions about the medical terminology being used.
8pm
Bedtime with a heat pack as my back is killing me! I try to convince P to come to bed and hold it against me since bubs is not allowing stomach laying anymore.
8.30pm
Success! P is helpfully holding it against me while I finish the episode and scroll the Iconic. Oh no! There’s now Stanley cups on there, I add it to my wishlist and promise myself I’ll think about it first. I want to also be a chic put together Stanley cup girlie!
Total: 65.91
Saturday:
3am
Back scrolling the Iconic and on a hunch check my credits (after rage returning maternity clothes a few weeks ago) and bingo there’s a credit there. I play around with wishlist items and stacking discounts, there’s a pale pink theme developing between the pink pregnancy overalls and the Stanley cup.
3.30am
Screw it, I’m ordering (10 points if you can guess what room of the apartment I made this order from) and it’s all due this afternoon except the pregnancy belt I've been grumbling about wanting. ($14.95)
9am
P brings me coffee, the kitten and the statement that he’s approved our Medicare Safety Net balance (he’s our primary family member) which means the rest of our refunds will be great going forward!! I’m very excited for 90% back on out of pocket costs for most medical things from now until December. Between my mental health and pregnancy I’ve beaten my normal record of September for the max you can pay OOP.
12pm
I’m sitting on the floor in the nursery trying to sort out piles of tiny clothes and remember to get P to help me off the floor before he heads to work. I head to the kitchen and start the bread process, I make our bread from scratch every weekend and the KitchenAid has made this sooo much easier. I decide one x1 wholemeal seed bread for P and x1 rosemary focaccia for me. Once they’re rising I head off to bed for a nap before therapy this afternoon.
3pm
I made myself some tea and washed my face to prepare for therapy as I woke up from my nap feeling like I was on another planet. I head into my office, no no now the nursery, damn I slightly tear up at the thought of my nice office now being a small desk in the corner. Well that can be another topic for my session today!
3.30pm
My psych and I go over all of the last 3 weeks worth of appointments with my health team and what my next steps are. I need to sort out my postpartum stay referral and lock in when I’m starting my top up meds. We talk through some of my work frustrations (not clear cut sexism but a level of obliviousness some of male managers are showing) and how I’m tracking mood/symptoms wise across the pregnancy. We’re both very aware that the final few weeks of pregnancy and the accompanying hormones can cause serious issues, so we go over warning signs and coping mechanisms. We go over the difference between ‘normal pregnancy feelings’ and my mental health condition feelings.($220)
4.30pm
Session done and my bread has all risen nicely despite the cold weather, I start the baking process and contemplate dinner. P is at work until 10pm so I’m on my own, which means all the Top Chef reruns and Ambulance UK my heart desires! I have a craving for spätzl so dig that out of the cupboard and defrost the schnitzel.
Iconic delivery!! I am officially a Stanley cup owner! I ordered the original, not the soft matte because Tiktok told me to, so I’m hoping I’ve made the right choice. Something about cold water through a straw just hits the spot. My glittery Starbucks cup looks on in disgust.
10pm
P finds me at my desk working on my spreadsheet of crazy, I mean baby, and is impressed but also too tired to focus on it now. I hear him calmly explain to the kitten that he can’t join him in the shower but he isn’t entirely successful.
We get into bed and P puts headphones in so I can drift off faster (or because I threatened more Ambulance UK? We’ll never know!).
Total: $234.95 (pending MR)
Sunday:
4am
And I’m up early again, my passenger is apparently an early riser these days which leads to me looking down and asking for more sleep “pleeeeease!” I try 37 positions and try to get comfy before finally drifting off again.
8am
I steal P’s dressing gown (mine’s now got an awkward gap due to the bump) and start the coffee process, the kitten joins me after finding a piece of plastic to pinball around the kitchen with, I am not coordinated enough these days to dodge him so I remove him and plastic to the living room.
I’m craving an egg muffin so I cook some sausages, eggs and toast english muffins and enjoy a mindless tiktok scroll while I eat.
12pm
I’m surprisingly tired after doing nothing all morning and head back to bed for a nap. I really hope the tiredness isn’t a sign my illness from last week is back! I’ve got a support group meeting in a few hours so I set an alarm.
2pm
I join the support group Zoom and immediately hear about how many people are sick or recovering from some flu or cold thing. There’s a lot of bugs going around at the moment! I meet some new people who have the same disorder or same ‘family’ of disorders as me and I update the group on my pregnancy journey. I really bond with 2 of the new ladies and I offer my email up to both to keep in touch before next week’s meeting.
5pm
I’m happily browsing Facebook Marketplace for baby things when Mum calls, she’s been shopping for baby (uh oh) and is excited to tell me about it. Amazingly she’s bought a bedside bassinet very similar to the one I was planning on buying secondhand and a safari themed lamp for the nursery. She’s also ended up with a high chair for their house on the coast and a bunch of themed fabric for swaddles, pillows, etc.
Total: 0.00 thanks Mum!
Monday
7am
I wake with my alarm for once, which would be odd except for how awful I feel. I end up deciding to call in sick, the flu thing that knocked me around until early last week appears to be back. Pregnancy means lots of cold/flu meds etc are not an option so I can’t soldier on. I alert my manager, set my team up with urgent tasks, chuck my OOO on and crawl back into bed.
A few things debit like SMH and Youtube (accounted for in monthly expenses above)
10am
I open my phone to a flurry of emails on my personal account, OH! It’s healthcare cover day! We have finished all our waiting periods and the beacons are lit! Let the floodgates of services and information begin! Our hospital and health fund both email to welcome me to their online learning platforms.
11am
A nice lady from our health fund calls to give me the spiel. I'd normally be wary about what all these amazing services are going to cost, but it’s all covered! She tells me about the learning platform (Nourish), the sleep clinic calls I’ll get after the baby's arrival and the welcome pack I’m going to be mailed. I get my login details as soon as we hangup, another fun thing to explore tonight once I’m feeling human again.
P is amused by how excited I am for all this information, he does caution me against over planning/over researching which is something I’ve been working on with my psych. I struggle to find a good balance between planning for problems and over planning to the point of stress. It’s a work in progress. I suspect I’ll always have issues with control/over planning.
4pm
I’ve napped most of the day, dealt with 1 urgent work issue and am now getting access to the hospital’s learning platform (Cradle). I'm grateful they’re short 5-7 minute long videos so put some on the iPad while I make tea and toast before deciding to tackle the nursery again.
7pm
Mum calls about more baby things - they’ve bought me a change table!? I’m slightly annoyed then I’m thrilled - it’s a brand I like that’s normally $400 ish for $30 at auction yesterday (a Sunday afternoon family hobby). They've just collected it, they’re going to sand and paint it for me in a nice green for the safari nursery. Another thing ticked off the baby spreadsheet.
Dinner tonight was heated up leftovers, I’m too tired for cooking.
Hmm blood pressure is high, I hope this is just sickness related and log it in my app.
8pm
Bed time! Despite sleeping all day I am exhausted and pass out almost immediately.
Total: 0.00 thanks again Mum!
Tuesday
11am
I’m in the office however I cannot tell you what I’ve done today, it’s all a blur and when I sit down with my ipad to make notes for this money diary my brain goes blank. I scroll through my sent emails and can see I’ve sent 26 emails (herding a difficult vendor, setting up meetings for later in the week, submitting my sick leave for yesterday and setting up a new starter orientation). I make another coffee and realise the mini fridge hasn’t been restocked (because I am the one that stocks it each week sigh). I jump online and do a grocery order - yogurt, cheese, salami, tomato paste, sliced bread, babybel cheese, apples and several juices) (52.00) it’s due in next 2 hours.
1pm
I make myself toasted sandwiches and try not to eat the entire packet of babybel. My work lunch group tells hilarious stories from their level of the office and it’s a nice escape from my level’s workload.
2pm
I send off my psychiatrist's referral for my private postpartum care stay (1-3 weeks long) and check it’s all covered with my health care fund (it is!). The private place I’ll be staying at calls me to check in, advise me of next steps and to give me my tentative booking date of 1 week after birth. I’ve got a spare 20 mins so do my intake assessment with them over the phone and get the all clear to be accepted in a few weeks. I’ll get another assessment 2-4 days after I give birth just to make sure I’m still a good candidate. I look over the welcome pack, what to bring lists and advice on partner overnight stays that all hit my email when I hang up. I forward the relevant bits to P and jump back into work.
5pm
An afternoon of meetings meant I did no deep/focus work or work on my handover, but I accept that and move on. I top up my Opal card for the week (50.00) via the app and it’s loaded by the time I’m tapping on the train. I’d normally account for this in the expenses up top but my train trips are very sporadic right now due to pregnancy waddle, so I’ve been carpooling with coworkers and P has been collecting me if his shifts line up along with the occasional UbeShebah.
5.15pm
I’m pinged regarding a site issue and it looks like the site is down. I jump on via my phone and iPad while on the train, I also start my time tracker for out of hours work. I scrap the conference call between my team and the vendor at 6pm and instruct the site to rollover to fallback mode, my team member gets them online again. I email my manager a quick update and switch back to tiktok scrolling. I’m really enjoying not having to fight for a seat most train trips now since I’m so visibly pregnant!
6.30pm
P meets me at the station again, is horrified that I’m dragging 3 books, several cups to wash, my coat (I overheated on the train) and my iPad around in multiple bags, he snatches it all and we start the walk home.
He’s made bolognese and it is the best smell to walk into after a cold day! I smother mine in cheese and prop my feet up to depuff. Then I puppy dog eyes at him and he agrees to Ambulance UK, we’re now in the London seasons and I’m loving the big city vibes. He still cringes at the medical sounds, but takes the time to explain how these patients would be treated at his hospital after their ambulance trips. I enjoy his commentary and it adds a background I would never normally know about.
8pm
I take my blood pressure and it’s high for the 2nd night, I’m a bit concerned but trying not to stress. It’s not 160/100 aka get your butt to ED but it’s still over normal. I log it in my health app and make a note to monitor it and call the OB if it’s up again tomorrow.
I message a friend about his opinion of epidurals (since he does them all day) and ask for the dumbed down reality check, he’s been an amazing support this pregnancy so I know he’ll give me a great answer, and he replies back with all the pros/cons as well as the common issues and how they get fixed. He reminds me to ask my OB since I’ve got pregnancy hypertension, it’s likely I would almost benefit from that common side effect and I make a note in my phone to ask at the next appointment.
Total: $102.00
Wednesday
5am
Coffee, kitten pats, older cat snuggles and then a small cry because I forgot to wash my preferred pregnancy leggings. I thankfully remember I’ve got an onsite vendor meeting today so don’t dress like a potato! I still wear Stan Smith’s but a cute knit dress and scarf up top so I look presentable. I bathe in embryolisse cream after washing my face (fun pregnancy fact - you can develop dry skin patches that make you look like a lizard!) and actually put some makeup on (Charlotte Tilbury base, YSL touche elcat, innisfree powder, lancome mascara and CT blush) followed by Replica’s By the Fireplace perfume. Ready for battle!
7am
On the train scrolling through the morning reports, I’m relieved to see all systems are reporting green after a few small hiccups yesterday. I move onto discord and catch up the overnight conversations in bump group.
9am
Quick catchup with my team and then I spend the morning preparing for the big cross time zone/country catch up with all IT team leads also updating my WIP tracker. I obviously then forget to save it and rage stomp off to the kitchen to make conciliation coffee.
I rage shop for KitchenAid accessories but don’t actually buy anything and my manager comforts me over teams.
12pm
I’m wrapping up in person site meetings to see a bunch of messages from P, he’s grocery shopping and querying baby wipe brands. (One of the best tips I got was to buy a pack of nappies and wipes each grocery trip to build your stockpile so it’s not such a shock, since newborns go through 10 nappies a day!). I reply but I’m a bit late and he finishes in Aldi, Coles and the butchers for the next fortnight (389.23). I’m getting very over this cost of living price increase on basic things like milk. He’s a smart shopper so I know that he didn’t overdo it.
3pm
I’ve taken my blood pressure a few times today and it keeps coming back high. I ring the OB’s office and book in for tomorrow morning (spoiler: my blood pressure meds are increased and I’m asked to check in with my pregnancy nephrologist sooner)
4pm
What the hell is this debit? Oh it’s the meal delivery service I forgot to suspend this week, guess we’re going to be a bit overstocked on food this week. I’m just going to class this as idiot/baby brain tax. (69.95)
5pm
P collects me and I have a small cry in the carpark, he’s had the baby capsule installed and driven to collect me with it so I can see it. Things are starting to feel very real now! I practice removing it and carrying it up to the apartment when we get home.
Leftover bolognese for dinner and we do separate screen time. I head to my computer after a bit to review my spreadsheet, since P has smashed out a bunch of things today in Baby Bunting. Nappy bin, capsule + install and baby bath are all ticked off! I get the receipts off our emails to log the costs (375.16)
7pm
Mexican bowls for dinner and we decide to try out the new RPA reboot that’s recently come back to TV (from the 90s!). I honestly hate every minute of it, the talking heads are really cringe and after the gritty realism of Ambulance UK (and Nurses Down Under) I can’t cope with it. We switch over to Ambulance UK after 1 episode and discuss deleting the rest. I was also really disappointed by how “doctor focussed” it was to the point where the nurses and allied health professionals (physios, ambos, etc) were cut out of certain shots, but you could still see their hands or shoes, that’s just not reality in Australian healthcare they’re the people patients see 90% of the time! Okay getting off my soapbox now.
8pm
I start my out of hours tracker and handle an issue for a site 3 hours behind me, in the end the onsite team and I get our part done, one of the vendors does not. We decide to tackle it tomorrow and a flick off a complaint to our account manage regarding this vendor rep. I notice a few of my counterparts are all in a teams call in their timezone and realise they must be cutting over a new system since it’s so late their time. I make a note to not bother them first thing tomorrow since they’ll likely all be start late.
9pm
Yep blood pressure is still high, so I’m glad I’ve got the appointment booked for the first thing tomorrow. P takes it for me twice just in case I’m doing something wrong with the cuff but unfortunately it’s still high. I’ve finished my new pregnancy book and I would recommend it to any Aussie mums or dads to be out there, P even flicks through it.
Why are both cats trying to sit on me? Oh we forgot to feed them! I sort them out and all is well again in their world.
10pm
My glorious bed calls me to me and I bundle myself up in the blankets, scroll through tiktok and happy cry at birth videos.

REFLECTION:
Besides the health care costs, this is a pretty normal week for me! I’m obviously thrilled to hit the Medicare max as this makes things so much easier with health care costs. I feel really relieved to know all my future costs are being covered by private health or what isn't is at a higher rebate now. Seeing my hospital estimate last week (before private health covers 95%) was really confronting and made me briefly reconsider my choice to go private, but the things that are now covered by health fund are amazing and worth nearly $30k over the first 3 months of the baby's life (especially if we end up needing special care nursery).
I’m pretty impressed about how many wtf and ffs I say in real life that I’ve removed from this diary. I find the Aussie approach to swearing can be a bit relaxed haha, so I did my best for you guys!
The impact of the baby brain is very real, aside from mental blanks at work, I had to check things like my subscriptions and ask P a few times, since so much of it is bpay and auto-debit, I don’t pay attention to it! There’s a few charges we have always had historically like tolls and ubereats that we’ve cut way back over the past few months.
I'm also considering a "what it costs to have a private baby in Aus" as well as a follow up in a few months once I've settled into Maternity Leave life (minimum wage, not my current salary) because tracking was fascinating and I'm a data hoarder.
Happy to answer any questions in the comments if I've explained something poorly.

2023.05.27 01:35 Hi-Tech- How to verify previous student employment (graduated 3 years ago)?

Hi all,
I was wondering how we can verify employment history as a former student employee? Is there somewhere we can login? Or how do we redirect an employment authorizer?
Thanks!
