And on the Seventh day God rested - and I think we should keep the tradition going.

    sooo: Question.

    • The guys who installed the aircon fucked us around and didn’t give us the electrical certificate until TODAY. Looking at it, they marked the works (non prescribed) as “completed 21st of jan”. The job was completed 21st december. How much trouble will this cause?

    I know they did it because (as we pointed out to them) they were wildly in excess of the 30 days notice, which is an offense, and they don’t want to get into widdle trouble but fuck them.

    (yes we are feeling cuntish the company in question has fucked us around beyond any measure of kindness.)

    Feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’ve hated my current job for a while due to the owner of business being a pretty toxic, uncaring individual. Last week I got approached by a friend who I know through a previous job to come and work for our former Creative Director/CEO who has started his own company. At my current job, I’m a casual but work full times hours. My friend has mentioned the new role might only be one day a week. I know my current employer will not allow me to reduce my hours and stay on as the store manager. I also know that if I decide to step down but stay on as a regular casual, she will be vindictive and most likely prevent me from receiving enough hours to get by. I’m meeting my old CEO for a coffee tomorrow and I just feel really sad that this great opportunity to work with some great people will slip through my fingers and I’ll be stuck at my current shitty job and that nothing good can come way.

      I don’t know. Asking you to quit a full time job (I understand it’s casual) for a one day a week job is a bit much. If you really want to give it a go, see what your old boss wants and maybe take a week off to try it out and have time to think about it.

        Yeah, it’s also a role that I think might require more than one day based on what they want me to do. The brand is relatively unknown and has a great ethos but alos not making a ton of money which is what they want me to help drive. I definitely want to be part of the company, But yeah I think just seeing what he is after and then explaining my situation is the plan. My hope is i’ll be able to get 2 - 3 days which will tide me over and then find another role 1 or 2 days a week. Thanks for the advice!

      Sorry about that. I don’t know what the right advice is, but if I were in your place I would have an honest chat with your old CEO. There’s nothing to lose by being honest about what you want (but I would steer clear of being too negative about where you are at). It might be the chance of a lifetime and it might not but it definitely sounds more awesome because where you are is shitty. So - tell them what you need to get by, see where they are at. It might open a door, it might not be the right time. But you are miserable so start looking / talking and see what happens.

      Best of luck!

        agree

        I would certainly take the opportunity, ( it will possibly grow into something bigger), and at the same time try to keep some hours at the old place ( old place has zero growth opportunity) until you get some other revenue stream in place

    The man’s taken a sickie today and when I say “I’ve made a coffee for you” what I really mean is “I went to Coles express and selected the coffee and milk options for you”.

    Kept dreaming about religious iconography and a white hippo, so I’ll be starting my very own cult any day now.

    About to pack to go live at my parents for 6 days but as luck would have it, I’m due to do laundry so all I have to do is throw my clothes in the direction of my suitcase rather than pack them nicely.

    It’s that sad time of year where peaches are starting to get floury and past their prime. I love peaches. So disappointing to get a bad one.

    Bit of set back, just found out the fun little procedure I had 10mths ago has done nothing and may in fact have made things worse (small reversal will fix that). Doc is very surprised at the results, so it’s on for more tests and looking at what else can be done that’s not removing that whole area of my person.

    Feels bad man, but hopefully we can move onto better things soon.
