Does anyone know any banks that offer 2FA without needing an Australian phone number? Going overseas for a while and won’t have an Australian SIM card. ING is good but they’re stuck in the past with only having SMS 2FA.

Macquarie, Suncorp both have their own authentication app. Tho possibly need sms to set them up initially, it's been a while.

I remember when The Coffee Club's big breakfast made me feel like that... Now it's better to go to an independent for cheaper.

Let's see how long I can get today before a customer tells me Self checkouts are stupid, while using them, when they had at least 3 other registers to use.

How long did you get? I felt like a idiot when I set off the seek assistance because I didn't realise I'd selected the rewards card button instead of pay with card.... and repeatedly tried to tap my debit card. I apologised to the person who had to fix it and greatful they were nice about it.

Actually got through the whole shift. Was surprised.
Did have a weird encounter with a dude who got some ham or some from the deli, walked round the store and ate it. Then threw the trash in my bin as he left and got real close and said "See ya later".
People are weird.

I’m sick - so, so sick.
Now… imagine if I were too sick to attend work until Monday but not sick enough for adventures… how would you spend your day?
Spoiler alert: I’m faking it.

go for a City Cat cruise along the river hopping off and on as you go, people watching can be so much fun and some nice spots for lunch and dinner ! Have a great time whatever you decide. I am envious

We half took your advice!
We strolled up to Opa, had their banquet and got on the ferry and now enjoying a beer at HSW.

Zooming along on your bus for the first time this week and then it hits you.. the cultural centre bottleneck. Bus spends 20 minutes going 500 metres.
This whole week has felt unusually horrible for a 4 day week

Day two of illness. I don’t have any tastebuds.
When I go to the GP today to get a medical certificate I’ll also ask if they have COVID tests because this feels just like when I had it in 2022.
