    Study, note-taking, referencing, plagiarism.

    Common knowledge ("the sky is blue" "polar bears are white", etc) does not need to be referenced. As for writing anything thats not plagiarism...you need to read widely, until the point where you can write "idea 1 (reference) + idea 2 (reference) = idea 3 (my own thought based on material I've...

    why on earth

    2 subjects = $400 :s As for the lines, I got mine in o-week...I rarely buy all the books anymore, I'm at the point of being able to flick through them and know whats good and what I'm likely to use (plus it helps having a mate in the year above me!)

    Rules for Customers

    When it is flat out and busy, and you ask where something is and I point directly at it and say "its there" .. no, I am not giving you attitude. We're busy and it is a stupid question. Open your eyes. Don't abuse my staff (I'm customer service supervisor). I don't take kindly to it.

    Responding to telemarketers

    I always just say "I'm not interested, sorry, bye" and they always take that ok. If its a lotto type thing, I say I'm under 18 and my parents aren't home, that way they're not allowed to talk to me.
