Beat me, Helen!

Main job is POS (ticketing, etc) but I do shifts as the stockhand, some admin stuff on the weekends and any other department when needed except for Meat/Deli/Checkouts. And you, Helen?

I've been there TOOOO long. Got to get off my backside and do something about a proper job!

Touche. Luckily the heat doesn't bother me, but the cold does.I think I'd rather give up my extra $1 an hour for heating!

Did either of you two have to do the on-line induction course that takes 6 hours? I'm doing it now, and my goodness they go on with a lot of stuff! I've writted 8 A4 pages worth of notes and I think my head is about to explode....

The city could be nice? or a walk from say southbank to under the story bridge?

They both work for me. Ill be getting around by train, so they are my only options.

Oh, okay. I'm assuming it's basically gradients and blurs. I'll have a look and play around.

That will have everything you need to know.

Don't speak too soon. There's a reason the likes of KKR and Tesco pulled out of the bid for Coles ;)

It seems like im the only employee of the competition around then... ;)


ps. who is beating who in profits?  :p

Are you getting paid to do it?

For woolies, you have to rock up to the induction at one of the training stores and sit on your behind all day watching some dvd. Get paid for it too.

Ahh, yes. Do you have the ever-annoying ads at Bi-Lo that you get to listen to about once every 20 mins?

No, I was imprisoned well before the online stuff was implemented. It was all done in-store at the start of my sentence.

Its absolutely amazing. :D

Some people say that the mirror slap on it is noisy and annoying, but compared to say a pentax k100d, its near silent. I used to cringe taking photos with that thing in quiet places.

you should get your hands on a 5D sam, it's so silent. I always thought my 30D was loud - and compared to the 5D it sounds like a bomb going off
