Where is a place to shower in Fortitude valley?

I know it's an odd question yet I want to start walking for 40-60 minutes per day before work, it takes me 25 minutes to walk to the train station. I can't really just head back home again. I don't think my workplace has a shower. I want to bring my work clothes with me and shower before work.

I don't want to shower then go walking. I want to walk then shower, get ready for work, go to work. I don't have a car.

I am suspicious of people who hit on me and other self esteem issues

I'm not hot, and currently I am actually quite fat. In my younger and skinnier years I had ugly women try attack my looks- which they were successful in. At the time I thought I was hideous, though going back through pics I was actually good looking, and way more attractive than the women who said shit to me like 'you're not attractive enough to reject people'. I am now in my 30s and I feel like no one I'm attracted to hits on me, and the ones who do are sus where they seem to hope my self esteem is low enough to fuck them. They are either guys in relationships or very below average men. I am making an effort to lose weight, then I eventually want to get lifts and tucks- for myself. In the last few years I had a lot of medical issues such as PCOS, insulin resistance, I got COVID and meningitis, caught pneumonia, and had a hemiplegic migraine. I am eating protein and focusing on my skin. A guy I worked with who is fat as fuck started giving me money for no reason, then decided to clown on me so I blocked him. Another guy who is better looking has been trying to talk to me yet I think he's the community dick so I'm not interested.

What I want to do is meet a single guy, who is interested in a DINK (dual income no kids) relationship, who wants to gtfo of the city, buy a house, and go on annual trips. Plus has a foreskin. I tried dating apps and it was literally the same people from like 5 years ago who now suddenly wanted to talk and consider marriage when they hit their mid 30s. Or balding mids asking for sex. I am also fine with just moving and buying a house by myself yet I also would like to meet someone who could add to my life rather than pointless flings, no commitment, or be a hindrance.

How to deal with a permanent victim at work?

To begin, I am looking for a new job + exploring other job opportunities within the company. I work with a 50 year old gay man who is also a 'disney adult' and acts + dresses like a poorly behaved 14 year old.

Due to his behaviour: snide remarks, standing behind me and breathing on me, telling me what to do/over stepping his employment level, walking behind my screen to look up my clients/criticise my notes, going from 0- 100 because he was feeling insecure that day and he thought 0.1 seconds of eye contact was a personal attack, with the added on factor he will suddenly get offended by something one day and not the next day, etc we actually went to HR. He is very passive aggressive.

HR did a really fucked up meeting where they actually had us sit together, with the HR manager and my manager for the coworker to lie and pretend he's been victimised, while it actually just made me dislike him even more because they just let him get away with his behaviour (I did document and have some witnesses to his behaviour), and he actually said to 'you're not special' in the meeting while flip flopping between "I can't see or hear properly so I can't see your screen" and "I could see by your screen you weren't on a call" also idk how if he's so vision and hearing impaired he is working in a call centre. He then went off at another coworker because they gave me his standing desk, and was messaging another team member how he's now depressed and sad.

He was glaring at me while I was setting up my desk.

The point being even if I had 500 witnesses and video to his comments and behaviour. He would switch it into him being the chronic victim. He once got upset because a friend made me a necklace and he bought a similar looking necklace or a time he was talking to me before work, uninvited so I took a selfie while he was yapping and he got upset I wasn't paying attention to him. If you pay attention to him he will get upset, if you don't pay attention to him he will get upset.

What is an app to download to open file on a google pixel 10?

I moved from Samsung to google pixel which has honestly been a regret. So for now I'm trying to navigate this device. It downloads file yet won't open them stating I don't have an app that opens files, usually a Samsung would have options. Which app does google pixel use to open files?

How to re-pot my jade?

My jade is stuck in this pot, it's been there for a few years. What I want to do is give it new soil with some fertilizer in a new/bigger pot. I've tried poking the soil to attempt to loosen the soil and straight up roll the pot around.

Best saving ideas?

I've always been terrible with money, I've worked jobs making 55k p/y and jobs making 100k+ p/y also been unemployed or student making fuck all money. Job hopped a lot and travelled. I just did whatever. Now that I am older I am actually taking money and working seriously. I'm currently in an entry level job at 70k p/y with potential for higher paying position later and 0 savings. After student debt and tax I get like $2166 p/f, now I just spent money on bills i have $1200 left for the next 2 weeks. My tax return will be a couple of grand if the student debt doesn't get me.

Currently I am trying to save for a cheap car to buy out of pocket, because I don't want to finance things. I'm trying to stay long-term in my current job or look for a government job in a regional location- hence I definitely need a car. I would prefer the regional option because the houses and rent are cheaper and I don't like living in the city, though in the meantime save with the current job then peace out after an offer + saving some more money so I can move away easier.

For those who are married, in a relationship, or dating. How much do you find your partner cares about your body hair?

3 areas of concern for me is my ass, area on my back, and stomach. In the past I tried laser treatment yet it didn't work while I find waxing too painful, and shaving too far or often causes irritation in certain areas. I don't leave things massively hairy e.g I shave my legs, tidy/trim areas, etc. With good hygiene. Though I want to start dating and I don't want to hear shit from a guy who is naturally more hairy than me. I also actually like body hair on men and beards.

Yes I deleted the app, I haven't been on dating apps in almost 5 years and the same people are still on them. There's no effort, people who want to smash don't even have anything appealing to offer, the ones looking for relationships put low to no effort in yet think people should date them. Some loser kept asking about my job, then wanted to apply to it so I told him I would get him signed up for the onboarding bonus, and he got offended. Some of them put 0% effort in life and expect a fully commented relationship for existing with no benefits in dating them. The conversations are dry and repetitive.

I actually started lifting weights again after encountering that shit. My options are: meet someone through work or friends, or become consciously celibate because online dating is terrible.

I have a coworker who is like late 40s to early 50s old who gets offended by everything. I am not the only person he does it to e.g there was another coworker in his 20s that the 40 year old coworker offered to hug, and the guy said 'no' and coworker was like 'aw, is it because i am gay?' Where the guy had to explain to him its because he doesn't like hugs- yet i don't think you should have to explain to your 40+ year old coworker why you don't want a hug from them.

Same guy has done things to me like offer me stuff I don't want e.g home baked cake, charging cords then gets offended when I don't want them, when I didn't want his questionable cake he started muttering under his breath. My dad thinks I should just take a slice of cake when offered next time to keep the peace and I am tempted to take it, then directly throw it in the bin with the coworker watching. On Friday the coworker shoved a box of tissues into my face where I waved my hand side-to-side and shook my head in a 'No' motion as i had my headset on and I was in a call. He immediately started complaining that 'you don't need to be rude about it *just* so you know' I ignored him. Because he wasn't getting the attention he wanted he directly started talking to me to tell me how he feels and he thinks I was shooing him away, I said 'it means NO' and I didn't elaborate or explain further.

Often it feels as if he expects you to explain yourself to him as to why you don't want what he offers to make him feel better, about the perceived rejection. I am a believer if you offer someone something and they don't want it, its perfectly fine for them to say no. Though this guy constantly wants reassurance and attention, or he will start being passive aggressive. Another factor is he walks behind our screens to check our clients, looks them up then criticises our notes, polices our time, nags you, and tries to monitor the workflow- he is not in management he has only worked here 3 weeks earlier than me. If you ignore him or tell him no, he starts getting bitchy. I've muted him on teams and don't acknowledge him besides saying good morning and good afternoon or hello/goodbye. which is upsetting him further. Like he saw me sitting alone before work then approached me to start talking to me about work, I said okay then took a selfie then he started complaining about me taking selfies. He also got upset because I talk to another coworker from work on social media.

Its hard to type out yet its not screaming and yelling but a passive aggressive type of behaviour, where he can just switch up suddenly. He often starts it more when the manager leaves.

I got uber. It was raining and I was rushing to get in, I didn't immediately notice the driver. He didn't look at me or speak to me, while driving i realised he wasn't the driver in the profile.

Worth reporting? And how? It isn't a prompt on the app
