    Quick question: Is there a copy of the new EBA available online that doesn't require union membership? Some old duck at work keeps saying that the new EBA brought in a new loading; 75% after 2200! Seems very, err, unusual to me for Woolies to be getting so generous, and to put a loading on that...

    Argh, I worked 2am-10 on Monday, and then I went out drinking that night, and now my sleep patterns are all fucked up! I mostly blame Woolies; sif drinking is bad? On another note, doing the ends is quite easy; half the time there is no stock so its merely a case of facing up! *bless' demand...

    We made a mistake with Rudd, didn't we?

    Howard's downfall was Workchoices, then the leadership issue - the issue of the poor polling Costello becoming PM was used by Labor pretty good imo Then there was Rudd - made promises to do this, that, and the rest. Gets into power and goes on a world trip (Kevin747 lol), gets back and nothing...

    Saturdays were the worst! I refused to work them, but not cause of the work or even the tidal wave of customers buying shit, but because there was no penalty rates! Back in the day there used to be penalty rates on Sats, apparently, so its yet another thing the useless union ceded to the...

    ...I really don't miss Easter either :) People go nuts when stores are shut; you'd think everyone was stocking up their bunkers with the amount of crap they buy.

    Tutorial Registration

    For Accounting? I'm the same! Clicked the wrong button and realised just as it loaded... then it wouldn't load, and when it finally did that was the next available. 5hrs, wtf! I had a 5hr break between classes when I went to UTS; I never ended up going :P Suppose I cant pull that trick with...

    You can click on it to enlarge :P I thought much the same thing, but then noticed lordtopcat did it, then a little dude inside my head said "OMG, the random numbers are a unique identifier for that workstation, and since I was doing the screens before I did that, they could call up the logs and...

    I decided to take a screenshot a week back, and only just got around to scanning it :P On another note, my pending unemplyment is putting my mind at ease; I'm virtually stress free at work now!! 2 more shifts to go!

    Yeah true, although I prefer the STM doing his relief; much nicer imo. SM's always come from groceries, for the reason you said; its the most lucrative of the departments. I say stick it out for the next 7 months, and by the sounds of it, they will appoint you (management would know that you...

    Argh, 500 pages? Wow, my first reply was on page 6! Start my Perishables Manager relief tomorrow; my manager is moving into longlife and is getting trained up for a couple of weeks. So I have to wait 3 weeks to see if they appoint me or bring in someone else. I don't know how that will go...

    My store went slightly better yesterday (Eve) than the day before; had some crazy rushes throughout the day! And the sales in liquor were massive! Beat my department (perish) by $11k, but jeez they were moving some stock! It wasn't as bad as I had thought; store closed at 10pm, and 3 of us...
