i used to work at 2 different places, fri/sat nights at a restaurant and thurs-sun at my current job. and i also had to go to uni mon-wed. i gave that up after a semester though, it's fucked having 2 jobs and uni cos i rarely had a social life

and yes, they do get annoyed iambored

I want two jobs. I think it would be more fun that way because you get to meet new people and do different tasks. So it's not the same boring thing day after day.
I got a job yesterday and i wrote down my availability and said iw as available basically for the majority of every day. And now i have 2 more job interviews, and if they offer me the job i don't know what to do. :S Because iw ant two jobs but i told the first people i'm always available. :(

I do. And if I get this Coles Myer job aswell as the Hoyts cinema one, I'll have 4. Not the best combination when I'm a full-time uni student eh?

I work at Bunnings, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday for 9 hours a day, and I work as a Pizza Hut Delivery Driver Monday and Wednesday nights for 3 hours each, and every now and then, a Rock Climbing Gym calls me up for casual work on Saturdays to help look after kids parties..

My bosses don't seem to have much of a problem with any of the other jobs, cause I still do my job for them well. It's good :D
So technically I have 3 jobs, but its lots of money, and I still have a decently active social life..

I have a few different jobs/contracts and depending on employer I have to sign a guaranteed availability and non compete disclosure on entry so that they have first dibs on me before anyone else if something goes wrong and they need me there. It gets kind of stupid sometimes cos I should have to fill out a form with justification just to give computer advice.

I'm working at BiLo and KFC both casual.
Only the manager at KFC used to be a friend of mine until too many non-work related problems between co-workers came into work and so now the boss hates me and likes to screw around with me on the rosters. There's not much I can do about it, I've had a union rep in, we've had meetings with my co-workers and the boss, but nothing will fix this.
Just when I thought I was completely screwed, BiLo manager offered me a full time contract yesterday because of "the 4 different recommendations" he received.

Also, tax: it's something like "under $6 000 a year" when you can claim to have an exemption from tax which is around $115 a week.

I work at a pharmacy Mon-Wed and at Best & Less on random shifts Thurs-Sat. B&L know about the pharmacy and are fine with it, and if they ask about it at the pharmacy, I won't lie. Besides, if I had to choose one, the pharmacy would win, hands down.

she chose woolies in the end
