One side of my family are from the Riverina, and the Casella family involvement in that is an open secret. They aren't the most involved in it though, that belongs to another major producer down there who is the head of the mafia.

i don't take sickies.. I consider it as theft..

even if i do have a big night I'll back it up the next day if i have to work...

It's not theft if it's something you're entitled to and you're hungover. Even though a hangover is a preventable form of sickness, it's still sickness... there's no clause in your work contract that states this. It's the law.

So this new coffee shop has opened up on the corner of my office block. To ‘celebrate’, they’re giving away free coffee all week. The shop is always crazy full with people so you would think this is a good marketing ploy… or would you. I decided to try this joint out. Boy oh boy… clearly the worst coffee I have ever tasted. I will not be going back there in a hurry

Look, the concept of free coffee as a promotion is good, however, when the coffee is as bad as it is, that is not the look the business wants. They should’ve done something else in my opinion, like half-price coffee or something so they’re not over-worked by people wanting free coffee with zero profit, and they’re also not needed them to role off the assembly line as fast.

Did you manage to escape as well?

Got the house to myself for 2 hours tonight.

Do I get to work on my next magazine article or sit on the ps3?

if it was me, i'd go the ps3...

2 reasons..

firstly, i could always pass off the writing as 'work' and be able to do it even if i didn't have the house to myself.. can't do that with the PS3..

secondly, at least when i'm on the PS3, the dragons win... :?

PS3 - for the same reasons as Muzby stated... except the Dragons winning bit.

 

[Skinner]

Cheers guys. Just a temp release from hospital. Back on the 27th to get the other leg done.
