Yeah mum, I'm totes looking forward to working with you. err, it just doesn't work, even sarcastically. When I hurt my shoulder, I had to ring my mum to get a stack of insurance stuff filled in (I could not write at all, and for legal reasons it had to be either me or my parents filling the...

haha nowhere near you, wa south coast. i hear we've got much better weather than you guys at the moment :)

I can remember when my store was like that. Now anyone who shows up on time is good enough :evilfire: I can see why my store hasn't got SCO's then. We'd probably be top 5 in the state for sales, yet even though there is a Coles in our centre, it doesn't really count as competition due to the...

oh yeah, forgot to tell you earlier, i totally saw a harry lookalike when i was at the beach this morning. sporting a bintang singlet and all ;) but of course, it was not you.

Re: is my father right - how much of a factor is the 'reputation' of the uni? usyd vs repped, also I really wish that we had the same liberal arts culture in Australia.

haha, my CSM just got rid of our smokeshop backup for the same reason. But the new girl that they've got in there as backup is brilliant, she's so neat, so organised, great with customers. Such a noticable difference. The idea of being an ACTUAL office cashier is scary. I don't know if...

Officeworks has 99c highlighters advertised.....and not shit ones either I also love highlighters ;)

I don't know about UNSW, but my Arts course required you to have a bit of an idea about what you wanted to major in, just so you could do the right junior units. I did units in English, International Studies, Politics and History, and now I'm majoring in International Studies/Politics. There...

Yeah I think its slightly different, I know Melb to Perth you fly over the Bight, and I don't think you do Perth-Melb. I just picked them because they were the flights I took a few weeks ago. ;)

I'm not on contract, I really wish I was though! Its because of my sliding availability that I'm not, they're quite happy at the moment to exploit that. I do often do closes, but the closes I had before have gone to the supervisor doing Future 2IC. It does make sense, and I'm on some of...

I didn't finish Frankenstein either, and though I did okay in those parts of the course, I was never confident in my responses. Please try and work through it though!

I sort of agree with you. Its not that I hate being back up, its that I'm happier being backup to certain people over others. I'm pretty much third in the food chain when it comes to getting sup. shifts, with one pretty much having Thurs/Sat/Sun for the last two years, and the other being the...

Haha, the original 15 year old that we had is actually the best supervisor I have ever worked with (including all previous CSM's). I'm so glad I've learnt off of her, even if she is a year younger than me (she's now 17). The issue with my store is that last year we hired REALLY young, as in...

Come to think of it, both those male supervisors that I've mentioned are also gay. One of my SSM's (my store unofficially has two now until March) is a very straight male who loves himself way too much, but thats more to do with climbing the ladder I guess. I just don't think its right, and in...

Thats awesome! But now its so real that you're leaving :( It really occurred to me on Wednesday how sexist front end can be. Seeing as our extended trading may very well become permanent (I won't admit this to anyone but I'm actually pretty happy with it), our CSM as decided to train quite a...

depends on your states award. i got 2.5x for both last sat and mon, others had to pick between the two days.

double time and a half, thank christ. i don't think i've ever turned up for work feeling so seedy.

we have a vending machine in ours, but the drinks fridge is cheaper and more reliable so no one has used it for about a year.

is it? we've been doing it like that for ages. we also have them on the shelf as well, but for $1.20

Don't even need them there, all of my units have put the lectures online a few hours after the lecture.
