insert yet another tedious rant about the challenges of selling stuff online

I just don't fucking get it. Why do so many open with "what's your lowest price" or "will you take (insert amount roughly 40-50% below a reasonable offer)?" Not "hey what's the service history?" or "how does it climb?" or "what's the spec changes" or even a fucking hello, just enquiries that may as well read "I am a stupid cunt."

(also facing a shit tsunami at work and feeling the after-effects of a jab so it's possible I may be even less tolerant than normal)

YouTube? "I just typed in "Chopper reads the weather" and picked the first vid, didn't look at the channel. Judging from your comment and the channel's title picture I might wait until I'm at home, lol.

EDIT: Oh wait, I think I getcha. Awesome, lol.

am i just an idiot or is this single touch payroll stuff designed by people who've never been self employed? I have to pay myself a regular amount when my income varies every month? same with super when i pay regularly but top up at EOY based on a variable income?
I cannot see what more information this gives the ATO than what my tax agent reports to them anyway

Try the SodaPAY app @tubby74, I'm in a similar boat to you and I think this is the STP solution I'll be using next time I pay myself.

Have recently been advised the same, found the sodaPAY app on Android (not sure if available for Apple) for a one off $25 it will do all of the things I need to be compliant without any fuss or reoccurring subscription fees.

Apparently that was me, I did have a niggling sense of déjà vu.

Ooof.

Back when I was 17-18, I believe I went so far as to have it as my homepage, as its collection of random crap, car stuff, amusing stories and moderate pornography satiated all the required mental food groups at that age. Then I got a bit older and....yeah.

I cant help but think the reason that Fastway Couriers have changed their name to Aramex is to finally drop any connotation that they are actually fast!
How come I can get stuff packed, shipped, customs cleared and delivered from the US and Japan in under a week but take 12 days for a small parcel from Brisbane to Newcastle?

You have never used the black cat have you? Once you experience the efficiency and service standard that is a Japanese courier you'll be ruined forever.

I remember wandering around Tokyo baffled by their logo everywhere I looked, wondering what this business could be.
