i have no idea how anyone can last more than about two years at one owned by Coles or Woolies. Evil conditions. Decent pay but very unsafe and the management are moronic control freaks or people who think if they treat every uni student like a turd, they'll be CEO.
I used to chuck the radio on because it was a smaller place, sometimes the old bluetooth. I once figured out how to unlock the computers too so I spent plenty of shifts *in around streaming the footy. Still not worth it though.
I counted calories when I wanted to lose weight and it works really well but **** doing it forever.
Good luck. I recently had all my internals checked out and was shitting myself waiting for the results, considering I've been drunk since 1999 and a smoker for 30 years. I was shocked and elated when I was told that everything was perfect. I really couldn't believe it and felt pure joy on my way home thinking about a pint and a shot of vodka to conrgatulate myself with.
One of the blokes I went to school with, his old man in his 50s went to the Docs just to get a regulation check up before going on a motorbiking trip up north or something. Then found out he had only a few months to live with cancer, poor bastard.
Exactly.
I got up in the middle of the night and pissed blood, told my doctor and immediatley I was sent for a stack of tests. All came back fine.
How unsafe?
This is a classic stance to take.
I worked for a few months night shift at Woolies doing refits mainly for lighting. Tbh when you are often trying to work off a wobbly as **** 1 man EWP at 5+ metres and occasionally live switchboards worrying about getting beaten up or mugged on the way out was about the last thing on your mind!
Tell me about it. I want to spew up anytime my mates decide we'll kick on with a slab of UDLs. Such a ******* rip off.
When the price hike came in I was down the pub bottle shop a week or 2 later and said to the owner "Geez how much have they gone up". She said "Yeah it's a fair bit. Surprisingly it doesn't seemed to have stopped people buying them though.. we have been selling just as many as we did before.." Good one Mr Rudd, it was all about tackling kids' binge drinking, not revenue raising at all.
Yeah same with cigarettes. Most people have just moved onto cheaper nastier brands like Rothmans, Bond Street etc. Cigarettes are now at an absurd price and for the vast majority it hasn't deterred them. They might comment when they go up, one might occasionally sook but that's about it.
And you just dig into me all the time.
France is catching up on tobacco prices but I was still shocked when I visited Aus in 2018. Think it cost me near $50 for a packet and the quality was rubbish. In France it costs me around 15 euros( AUD 22.50) for 40 grams, but I cross the border into Italy and it's about 8 euros. I spent 300 euros last week when I was in Italy on Cigs, that would have cost me 600 here and probably close to AUD$1,000. In 3 weeks in Australia last year I reckon I spent around $400 on tobacco. It's mad.
