    Help With Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad?!

    I finished it eventually, but I was only about halfway through when we did our assessment. I still did quite well though :)

    Help With Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad?!

    It took me about six months to read the whole text, but it was an excellent excellent book to write on.

    Yeah we need to cut 55 from next week. I gave them 3.5 voluntarily ;) I'm so dedicated.

    Not that I know of, but I might be with you there. Tea breaks at 4 hours are going to be a logistical nightmare, and I hate that I can be given 2 hour shifts under whats been proposed. It will pass though :(

    :( :( One of my fave operators just told me she's quitting. :( Like she's so good when she's working that I haven't even told my CSM she's ditching our shifts for her other job. FFS, I'm destined to work with crap people forever.

    I'm fairly sure I've actually said this to someone before. :uhoh: Or something along the lines of, unless you know exactly how to do my job, don't have a go at me. Some days, I wouldn't want to deal with me, tbh.

    Yeah I'm fairly sure I was having an anxiety attack for the first hour of my shift on Thursday. I think MMacka's words were something along the lines of "yeah, I'll talk to you when you're not losing the plot, k." ;) Perhaps I'd cope better in a smaller store, lol.

    aha, well once i flat out refuse they usually bitch about it, at what point i call a manager and they tell me to do it anyway. case in point: yesterday someone returned four slices of bread complaining there weren't enough seeds in it. my stm and i laughed about it over the phone, but in...

    I's say probably not for front end, all I've been shown is office, stock management and to a certain extent people planner.

    pyro - I just say flat out no to perishables/meat refunds unless its LITERALLY just left the store. yep, probably dodgy. i'd be saying after the first time though that there's no scanning policy/rtc pricing unless an actual staff member removed the ticket. In saying that though, that...

    Readings for Tuts (& Lectures)...?

    last year i always spent my train rides reading, this year it seems like the trains are a zillion times more crowded (even though i'm travelling at the same times?) so i very rarely get a seat.

    Readings for Tuts (& Lectures)...?

    In my experience, 30 pages a week is not a lot. Most of my units require 75-125 pages a week, though I never do all of it. I say read the abstract, introduction and conclusion of everything. Then look at the tutorial questions, and figure out what readings are most likely to help you answer...

    they were, err, very friendly :cool: we needed CPR the day we ONLY made 60k. My SSM was like "bye jess, its sucked working with you, i'm going to go home and neck myself". I cannot even comprehend that, you work in a milkbar, seriously.

    zomg yes, on Wednesday I was supervising by myself, we had an extremely extremely epic express alert (ie my SSM was serving in smokeshop), and about 15 US Navy people come up to the service desk ALL wanting to buy a phone and sim. It took about an hour to sell them. FFS.

    I absolutely cannot imagine that. 3 staff? I certainly hope you've got helpful managers/other department staff. I feel absolutely disgusting, but I think I've left it far too late to call in sick. (Its 9.15 now, I start at 12). Plus I need to break it to them that I want Monday and Friday...
