Haven't had dinner yet either. Not allowed to eat at work anymore because some bitch pissed and moaned to management and threatened to call ohs. Then quit a few weeks later, pissing and moaning some more on facebook (under an alias). It was a classic rant that began with "After a gruelling six months..." Seriously, anyone who describes working in this call centre as gruelling has some major perspective issues.

This bitch, was she a recent uni graduate? I've had problems with them before. Some of them expect the absolute dream job upon graduating and are confronted with the ugly truth. You have to work your ass off for years to land that dream senior position and it usually involves taking your fair share of menial work as well. Hell the manager of my own organisation's call centre helps his team by manning the phones when he has time.

I was a bit idealistic when I left uni and went into my first IT job. I was a big fan of a methodology called Total Quality Management (TQM) and suggested ways to my boss on how we could implement it. Thankfully my boss was in a good mood that day, laughed and said "you know all those academic principles, please forget them all right now, let me run the team and you concentrate on learning the skills needed to do your job."

Best advice I've ever received. The workplace is a completely different beast to the uni lecture hall.

Rob Quiney could be the worst test selection I've ever seen....

Beer for mine

Couldn't get a game for Victoria so moved to WA then got picked for Australia and wasn't even the best bowler in WA

one of the most puzzling selections eva

Would anyone hold it against me if I didn't get out of bed all day?

 

[HowHigh]

Nope
Bed sounds like a good place for me to go die right about now

Mowed the lawn + cleaned the kitchen inthe lunch break. Had a shower, now watching the cricket in only a towel with some cold sherberts. Life is good (until work tomorrow).

I have found, with every girl I've ever dated bar one, that if all else fails a particularly nice piece of jewellery never upsets anyone...if she wears jewellery, of course (hence the "bar one")
