137: NFT - best and worst thing about your day so far

[garden fairy]

My advice to you Bushy: hunt them down and kill them. Let me know if you need any help ;-)

Best: I'm back home for the next two weeks, and so far have had a great time - I spent the night talking with my brothers, had a girly day with my mum, we went to the movies, she paid! Picked up some books at a used bookstore - I've been desparate to read something other than a textbook this semester, so now I have two weeks to read two! Also got to see my nan, who I haven't seen in awhile, and have missed desparately. My brother also said he'd service my car for free if I get off work early tomorrow...

Worst: not getting as much work as I'd hoped for, but some is better than none...

 

[northey]

BEST: working on home and away today and then spending the night in syd with a friend

WORST: head is still a bit sore from yesterday

 

[Parki]

worst: f**king centerlink are a pack of useless, mindless buffoons.... I went in there today to tell them that im working, and what could i do to get off the system, their answer was nothing short of mind boggling....

one guy said "you dont, you just fill in the form to say when youve worked" which is total rubbish, i dont WANT to take their f**king money anymore. I dont WANT their help in finding a job (which as I explained to tim last night has been absolute bullsh*t anyway). I found a job myself, without their f**king incompetence, and i dont want to have to deal with them again.

To add to that, i asked him if i would still have to do work for the dole sh*t in october if im still on the system, he said "i dunno, i cant tell you that" Hello? what can you tell me you ignorant fool? *sigh*

 

[PrideKnight]

Just do what i did,
Completely ignore everything they send you from now on

 

[Parki]

i did that last time

it got me into a sh*tload of trouble and a one way trip back onto the system

i cant wait till im off it so the f**kers dont have anything over me again

 

[Misanthrope]

Yeah, Parki, you need to keep handing on fortnightly forms until you've gone twelve weeks without receiving a payment from them. Once that happens, they'll take you out of the system. It's in place in case the work doesn't last and you need to get back on Newstart. This way you don't need to reapply, you can just pick up where you left off.

You won't need to do Work for the Dole and, if you do more than a certain amount of hours a fortnight, you don't have to do jobsearch either. It's annoying, but when you think about it, it's there in case the job doesn't pan out. If you're still employed after three months, chances are you're going to stay that way.

 

[les norton]

I hear ya Parki...they kill me too. I mean dont get me wrong...i am grateful but....hmmmm

Best - not alot.

Worst - I am buggered. I got 4 hours sleep. Worked 11 hours...will be up working til god knows what time to prepare for a meeting i have with my supervisor. Got into a fight with a parent. I have lost my voice...lil sh*ts at work dont listen to the marge simpson sounding creature!! arghhhhhhh

 

[Misanthrope]

BEST: Spent my shift at work chatting with two of the more visually pleasing (and sweet, to be fair) girls on the staff. Made the time fly.

WORST: Really starting to get fed up with my living arrangements. Love the guys I live with, but if this place was any more laid back it would force me into a coma.

I have lost my voice...lil sh*ts at work dont listen to the marge simpson sounding creature!! arghhhhhhh

I SO know what you're talking about, Les. I have a whole speech: "Alright, everybody, look at me! I like attention! Everybody do this (repeat until they all follow your lead, then end with them all with their fingers on their lips while you talk) If you are nice to me, then I am nice to you. If you don't listen, you get to hear my angry voice!" (Raise voice at appropriate moment) I get to use my angry voice a lot, unfortunately.

Best: Got to catch up with some friends at work, we had a good time eating lollies and messing around while we did a 'Cook up a Storm' day with the kids. The storm destroyed the kitchen, and I didn't have to clean it up!!!

Worst: Issues with the new coordinator who took over from me. Everybody thinks he's a tool on a power trip, and he enjoys undermining me in front of the kids. Apprantely the General Manger heard us talking about him and warned one of the girls that the three of us need to 'show more support' - which is crap. Turns out she hired him because he is her daughter's boyfriend. God damn nepitism.

Here's my mate's freaky 'Best' for the day. Seriously, I envy his luck.

Dave is quitting his job as a looking for work trainer at Salvation Army tomorrow. He is approached by one of those annoying people who work in Malls and try to sign people up to credit cards or mobile phone plans. He says no, I'm quitting my job tomorrow. She asks what he does, and when he tells her, she asks if he'd be interested in doing it for the company she works for. Apparently they're looking to hire trainers and they're paying $60,000 a year to those they hire.

So, he has a job interview a day before he quits a job he hates. He asks if he can buy her a drink to thank her and she says yes! So now he has an interview for a good job and a date with a cute girl!

I can't even begin to fathom what kind of good deeds he must have done to deserve such astounding karmic bliss! Me, I try to be nice all of the time, and I still work a sh*t job and languish in my third straight year of singularity.

So, Dave, that's a freaky good day! :lol:

Of course not. It's precisely how old I was when I got mine!

BEST - fired up deluxe for tomorrow. I warn everyone who is sitting with the Crusade... Matty is in one of those moods for tomorrow. With Tahu not playing, I'm thinking of making Johnny Morris target No. 1.

WORST - nothing much... pretty cruisy day. Still haven't got any work done for next term, but that ain't worrying me too much.

 

[Johns-All-Day]

Best ~~ Had lunch at the Gold Coast with a couple of friends - something we haven't done in about 3 years - it felt like old times!

I don't even have my L's yet. Don't much want them, but that's beside the point.

BEST: Tax time and I'm getting a decent return this year. Huzzah!

WORST: I have four days off and absolutely nothing to do with them
