Down to my last 4 modules on the last of the induction programs I have to go through - to pass my most recent module I had to get 80% right on the 12 question quiz. I could attempt each question a maximum of 3 times to get the correct answer and on 10 of those questions there was only 3 options to select from

Not sure how anyone can possible fail any of these inductions I'm doing

anyone want to try this (should we be able to travel again one day obviously...)

Its impossible. Unfortunately most of them make you watch a whole video before you can answer just to waste your time.

I started this last induction training around 3/3:30 yesterday I guess and I finished 3 of the individual modules just before 6 last night

That single module took over an hour, and as you said there's a lot of videos that you have to watch & not click past or they have clickable things on each slide and until you click each option you can't move forward

The one after that was a series of slides of what I can't take on site - so each to quickly get through

The current one is 25 slides with each of them being a video & they are running one into the other without needing to click anything - that's nice

But by the 5th induction program they all start to sound the same - I understand the need to do this, but it's bloody boring

Dumb question: is the extended lockdown seven days starting from now (ie finishing at the end of Wednesday of next week) or is it an *additional* seven days upon the original lockdown (ie finishing at the end of Thursday of next week)?

I think it's an additional 7 days.

I think it's an additional 7 days.

Weird that there doesn't seem to be any clarification of that on any reports I can find.

The statement from the acting premier says "a further 7 days" and "giving a full 14 days"

Is it just me or is there a really creepy face in the middle of that bush.

Certainly is, eerie

Better story in that, than "Jimmy walked past a house" too.

Just when you think the Yanks have a chokehold on stupidity we have one of our own working in aged care deliberately coughing on people, and others in the Revival Church proving we have a few idiots of our own.

The aged care worker has now been dismissed/sacked from her job - not sure too many will be upset with that news

I'm travelling overseas for work very soon. I'll be doing something like that, but not with that many people (or preferably any really).

Do you need a personal assistant?

Good.

Who'd want such an imbecile working for them?

 

[cats_09]

Good.

The other question, who'd want someone like that caring for them or for someone they loved

I'm betting the aged care facility received a fair amount of feedback this week and they really had no choice in the matter

Well hopefully they had made a decision before the feedback started rolling in, and thats only served to reassure them

I've just looked at a more extensive list of the proposed changes for regional Vic & what will open come Friday - this is one that I found bit of a head scratcher

Drive-in cinemas: Open to a maximum of 50 people per venue (stay in vehicles). Density quotient of 1 person per 4sqm applies

Any aged care facility that doesn't want to pay decent rates to get the best possible people to take care of their patients.
So preety much every aged care facility.

Think this one had nothing to do with pay rate.

Just a fair dinkum peanut.

That's what I mean. Pay peanuts.......
