“Colling-wood…Colling-wood… Colling-wood…” The atmosphere is euphoric, and the crowd is pumping.  The Pies lead by 6 goals deep in the third quarter. It's been scrappy, but it's great to have footy back at the 'G. Melbourne is back…well, the traffic certainly is…as it was gridlock on Punt Road trying to get the ground. So maybe it was easier to sit back watching Fox Footy instead sitting high in the sky in the Ponsford Stand with ...

What's your favourite venue for a conference or event? Crown? Hyatt? MCEC? Or somewhere in Docklands? Aside from the speakers and networking opportunities, many conference attendees will remember the food during the breaks. It's funny to think for all the time, effort and planning that goes into an industry event or conference, for many employees, it will come down to what's on offer for lunch. If you ask your team members and colleagues, you will ...

You know what it's like when you have a new neighbour move in.  Questions you ask yourself. Do they have young kids? Any pets? Will you all get along? And like most people, you want to respect each other's right to privacy. But if you live in the outskirts of Melbourne, that can be easier said than done. With Melbourne's rapidly growing population and housing estates bursting at the seams, land availability continues to be ...

Your accounts team holds the purse strings of your business. Money flows in and out of your business thanks to this hardworking team. With so much responsibility, a small mistake can mean a high financial and reputation cost to your business. In the last three months, the accounts team of 2 different clients have paid out fraudulent invoices totalling over $75,000. In the last year, that figure is well over $150,000; in the previous four ...

Yikes, $17.55 for a packet of sliced cheese. I mean, lettuce topping out at $11 a few months ago was crushing for the average family grocery bill. It made Taco Tuesday suddenly very expensive. I don't know about you, but cabbage is not a mouth-watering swap for iceberg lettuce.  Covid, supply chain issues, a war in Ukraine, then floods have all shattered the price of everyday food on the Coles and Woolies shelves.  With families ...

Fed Square is bursting at the seams with green and gold Socceroo fans. Flares are flying in all directions, and police are battling to contain the surging crowds, but for the most part, the focus is on the big screen beaming football from Qatar.  The excitement for this game has been building for days. Melbourne is pumping, and the jubilation of the Socceroos advancing this far in the World Cup is thrilling. Finally, after the ...

Every six months, we email our clients a business survey. We do this to ensure our IT recommendations align with their business goals. One of the critical questions on that survey is in the format of finish this sentence. I could do my job better if I knew... I love this question. It makes everyone pause and consider this carefully. We're so busy doing our day-to-day tasks, we forget to step back and consider how ...

Every. Single. Year. Or so it seems. The West Gate Bridge outbound is shut down to one lane after Boxing Day. So the traffic snarl starts long before the bridge out on the Monash before the Burnley Tunnel.  Bumper to bumper, no matter how early you hit the road on the 27th, it's always the same horrendous experience.  The sun dances across the dashboard; finally, Spotify is not trying to sell you something for Christmas. ...

At Intuitive IT, we recognise the many benefits that come with this arrangement, including increased flexibility, reduced commute time and improved work-life balance. First, however, it's essential to understand the tax implications of working from home. We will dive into work-from-home tax deductions and how they relate to IT support. By understanding the deductions available to remote workers ...

You're feverishly tapping your fingers on your thigh. Looking down at your smartwatch. Notifications and reminders keep alerting you to the next meeting, email, missed calls… You’ve been waiting what seems a lifetime in the brightly lit food court. The bloke in front is ordering black bean beef, honey chicken, and rice. The server heaps spoonfuls onto the plastic plate, buckling under the weight. Time is ticking away. It's 1.28 pm. Your next Zoom meeting ...
