Go for it - it won't hurt to put in an application and even see what feedback you may get

I also contacted my old primary school. Offered to do some volunteer work, idk like reading with the kids.

Wont start till Term 2 tho. Cos of Covid

Shit, i also wanted to do some volunteer work with animals.

Will make a trip into the Lort Smith soon

I think I'll go for it.

At least find out the hourly rate, do the calculations (mortgage, bills, food etc) and see how it all stacks up.

Then give them a definitive answer. If I even get an interview, who knows in this climate..

Pretty sure it'd be the company my kids got for B and After school. On school holidays they go to Funfields and Luna Park and shit

Saw on Twitter those on Newstart get about the same amount of money a week ($308) as federal politicians get daily as a travel allowance ($280). And that is in addition to the pollies' six figure annual salary. Explain to me how that is fair.

Faaarken ridiculous. Those who worry about giving extra to vulnerable need to have a look at the wastage and the rich that don't pay tax.

I'd love to see how some of these politicians could live on $45 a day.

Voluntary work with animals is soo worth it. Did a lot of it over the years.

Something like this?

Yes. But with lion cubs instead of pandas.

And baby Rhinos

I had a small chuckle at this job advert, not because anything is wrong with it but rather it just seems such a given -

Position: Kind, caring Dental Assistant


Like wouldn't that just be expected or were they open to hiring someone who was qualified but bitchy?

 

[Shell]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, am reading about Tiger Woods injuries.

They are not good

 

[Shell]

Multiple compound fractures. Bone thru the skin

Ouch.

[winty]

You are kidding.

Unfortunately not.

 

[Shell]

Would have been organised ages ago am assuming.


But still..

If he was smart he'd get his wife to write his speech for him or at least run it by her first - but he's not so he'll write it himself and not tell her anything about it.

I thought she wrote everything for him anyway...

Wonder if she wrote his speech the last time he spoke at this event...

 

[winty]

Hope someone does something like this to him tomorrow...

Tiger Woods. Hes a bad driver


Who would have thunk it

 

[Spazz Cat]

Speaking of work shit had a foreman go off at me for nearly an hour. No exaggeration, he just went on and on. Then kept going after that.
At 6.00 pm. He's getting charged double time + meal allowance etc.
Going on how one of heads of the whole project has rang my employers office and told them never to let me on his site again.
Then goes don't think I'm having a go at you cause I'm not. ????????
Then tells me what he wants me to do tomorrow morning.

Tiger Woods. Hes a bad driver

When his missus is chasing him with a golf club he is.
Did he crash normally?
