I think his hesitancy was because how young she is, but the derm reassured us she's seeing it in kids younger and younger so no dramas prescribing it. C doesn't have cystic acne but it's absolutely persistent hence the isotretinoin route. It might be worth enquiring if Mr 15's just doesn't clear.

Our GP is fine but going public meant having to wait for public dermatology to get back to him when he sent requests for advice on the oratane (because he acknowledged it was not his specialty) and it took forever so he's like "you're insured, let's just send you to the private derm". Boom. Done.

Actually! Our 9yo has just been prescribed isotretinoin after 8 months of trialling topical and antibiotic options. Literally took one request to refer her to a private derm (thank you health insurance) for them to take one look at her & go "yup, low does oratane for 3 months then we'll reevaluate"

Told my manager he could retire and sent him this picture of my new supervisor.
A black and white cat sleeps looong across the back of a black leather couch. Her name is Stevie and she is dreaming of revolution.

I don't care what the fuck happens anywhere I just sat here for about 3 minutes listening to my 9yo kid sing along perfectly to My Own Worst Enemy by Lit I've absolutely clocked parenting.

Otherwise I'd be waiting a while and turns out I am impatient like the adhd. 😂 GP is also a GC and send thru my forms super fast.

The private route has cost me about 1200-1300 through Positive Mind Works. I had Dr Anita Must & she was fantastic. 750 for first consult, 530 for the 2nd. I only went private cos I have health insurance that covered the first appointment and I could scrape $ together for the 2nd.

I'm sorry it's taking so long. Public really is such a quagmire of waiting and navigating the system. 😮‍💨

Just learned the horrible news about Mitch McConnell. My condolences go out to his family and staff. Having to deal with his persistent will to live every day must be horrible.

Wfh during the school holidays is tapping away at the kitchen table when the kiddo goes "hey mum!" and when you turn to face her she kisses your forehead and goes "love you!" and skips off.

The effort to maintain a sourdough starter legit seems more intense than raising my kid at this point.

Oh now that's annoying - but I'm glad you got a prompt reply and it made sense!! Is it common or a one off? Cos if it was something that continuously happened then you might benefit from a special tax code!

Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Also withholding tax is usually only about 20% which often isn't enough if you're also earning paye from multiple sources. Key is to take a look at your ytd annual earnings when you accept those contracts to see if it would likely chuck you into the next tax bracket and put Extra aside accordingly.

(keeping in mind that calculator doesn't include the acc earner levy).

Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
codes for your TOTAL annual gross income, the paye deducted won't be accurate and you'll end up with a bill. Easiest way to see how it's worked out is to put your entire gross income (from all sources) into the "tax on annual income" calculator and see what it spits out vs what you actually paid.

Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
I know this is well late Whaea, so arohamai but the way paye works is that it assumes you'll earn that amount for an entire financial year and taxes you accordingly. If you have multiple sources of income, periods of time where those income sources overlap, or aren't using the correct secondary tax
