    Uq 2011 roll call

    I'm studying Bachelor of Arts, studying Criminology and Political Science. Don't live on campus...yet, though I applied for IH until I can decide which one to go for next year. I came from QUT and before that, Charles Darwin University in Darwin.

    Laptops in Lectures!

    I just acquired a laptop recently, so next semester would put the effectiveness of the laptop to the test. I noticed in some of our lectures, some students would position themselves right at the front or next to a speaker and record the lecture on Audacity.

    ITT: FML I hate uni.

    Some people would be saying I'm mental for suggesting this, but if there was one thing I kinda wished this semester was exams. Even one. Because on June 4, I handed in one more assignment and that was it. I've got until July 19 to kill time. True I can increase my footy and gym commitments...

    The Woolworths Thread

    If I'm told my hours are not compatible for one department but they are looking at other departments, do they mean it? So far I've had two interviews and the sticking point is my availabilities, which until June 2 I can't do anything about.

    The Woolworths Thread

    I didn't know smashed in headcrabs can be eaten. Also Queensland Woolworths staff, I got noed for Paddington. Hours incompatible. So my scope has been widened to include divisions such as BWS, Big W and Dick Smith.

    The Woolworths Thread

    Anyone in Queensland knows that at the moment that Queensland Health recently changed its payroll system and as a result, staff are not being paid for their services due bugs in the software. The link between Queensland Health and Woolworths? The new QH pay system uses the combined SAP and...

    Centrelink Bashing.

    What I can't stand about Centrelink is that they are inconsistent. In the early days of my Youth Allowance, I would report in person so there is none of this "I said, they said" BS that happens during an appeal. One report, it was "Heres my payslips", no questions asked. Next report, sometimes...

    ITT: FML I hate uni.

    I've slaved away at note taking for 2 days in a row to do this crappy test for an assignment and the best so far is 13/20. I hope that all faculties at QUT had to suffer the crappy arsed Pilot's License test.

    The Woolworths Thread

    I've played a prank on a customer. Come to think of it, what I did was the worst possible thing but we both laughed about it. 5pm, peak hour, well away from April Fools Day (I think it was September), I was getting sick of people asking if I was open. What I did was not premeditated. When I was...

    The Woolworths Thread

    They do because they panic that 95% of the activities they do can't be done on Good Friday or Christmas Day. I support closure of businesses (except for essential services) and gambling not because of Christian beliefs (I'm not aligned to any religion), but because it means for those who think...

    The Woolworths Thread

    Aaah Easter Eve. I have fond memories of the leadup to Easter. I swear people are more pissed about the leadup to Easter than Christmas. Bakery staff told me how they hate Easter because they have a massive increase in work. Staff are more agitated (I remember doing a drop off and my store...

    Hmm, ever thought you've chosen the wrong course?

    I was close from withdrawing my Bachelors Degree at my old university. Reason was that no one at Charles Darwin that I was aware of stayed around the campus doing the same degree as me. When I lived there for six months, I was probably three days away from cancelling it. I was only stopped when...

    ITT: FML I hate uni.

    Well, the slide says the following (it was about how to make interpretations) "The science fiction horror film Alien is a complex representation of the monstrous-feminine in terms of the maternal figure as perceived within a patriarchal ideology … According to Freud every child either...

    Help with KFC!

    Will KFC accept a 20 year old, even if he has worked in food prep before (Started out in Maccas, moved to Woolies and need something to fill the void until I get my job transferred successfully)?

    ITT: FML I hate uni.

    Don't lecturers love group assessments because they can mark 4 assessments rather than 30? I spent a whole semester where it was nothing but group assessments and I had to get the freakin dumbasses. Anyway, I'm dreading an upcoming assessment. KCB101 @ QUT. I have to do this crappy text...

    I was. Thing is, I was surprised that it has taken this long for an opportunity to arise. I thought that it would be two weeks before they would find me a store, especially since it's an interstate transfer. I have now learned that it's not the case. I never left.

    I got myself an interview penned for Wednesday after nearly a month of unemployment. I hate to say this, but I kinda miss my job (Certainly don't miss some of the people that I worked with at my old store though).

    I can't believe this. I tried contacting the Area Office today and it rang out. Normally it's picked up on the third ring the latest.

    Do you think it's better to stay on campus?

    Amen to that. Though living on campus means that you can go from downing pens (or logging off) after a marathon innings and 15 minutes later down a 6 pack of Bundy Rum n Cola OP.
