Sorry Dan, can't imagine you'll get into trouble though, it is a fairly tame wiki page, probably got blocked because it says the word porn a few times in the text. Surely you can't get sacked for a non-offensive wikipedia page.

Lost bag is still lost

. Jeans and t-shirt in 33 degrees = hot (but only in the bad way). Same jeans and t-shirt for multiple days = hot and disgusting (again, only in the bad way...)
No-one in the office knows their arse from their elbow.
No-one seems at all bothered that I start teaching on Monday and they still haven't told me what I'm meant to be covering.

Wow, off to a stellar start

PHONE AND ISP PROVIDERS!!!
ARGH.

i mean, i use this shit on a daily basis, and im good at researching stuff, but this is getting ricockulous. i feel for joe blow who ends up on a 5meg four year contract with optus casue he doesnt say the word 'YES' with an aussie accent and diction like a lady on ladette to ladie's panel.

three weeks, around ten hours on the phone, been transferred to mugabe's desk and back, and might, jsut might, have made some progress im not gonna regret later on.

optus > new slogans

"making life hell for australians."

"disconnecting australia"

and from a simple "Yes" to

"not fucking likely"

lol, I don't have that problem... but I'm certainly sick of health fads..

1980s... vitamin C
1990s... vitamin B
2000s... fucking omega3

not to mention all the ones in between...

99% fat free
baked not fried
folate
low GI
iron
calcium

I guess our bodies must have changed, coz in the 80s (you'd assume) we needed more vitamin C, and we didn't need omega3..

Maybe more so that research has.

It's since been proven (in the past 10yrs if I recall correctly) that Vitamin C isn't anywhere near as effective in stopping colds etc as we used to think.

In fact, there's some research these days that suggests taking vitamin supplements can be harmful to you, as opposed to drawing them from your normal dietary intake.

Worst Jobs Ever.

Client demanded credit note for $28.00. It took me 4 hours to organise, which will end up costing them $800.00. Then admin will probably slap another $100.00 onto that.

So they will make a total saving of -$872.00

My boss has gone from champion to complete cuntox in the space of 4 weeks. He's just turned into an absolute fucking prick. He clearly can't handle the pressure being put on him and doesn't know what he wants to do, so he puts it on us. I attempted yesterday to talk it through with him, but he basically said we (ie. me and the other manager) are the problem and that we are shit. There's a new manager starting in 2 weeks, and he's constantly saying how awesome she is and that she is better than us and she will run us out of here. Stupid cunt.

Our HR peeps are fucking BRUTAL though, so they're my next stop. Didn't want to resort to that, but fuck him.

That's what I spent today doing. All i'm gonna do is cover my arse, make sure my shit is done, and just sit back and watch him slowly undo himself. The more pissed off and aggro he gets, the more nonchalant and passive i'm gonna get. As long as all my shit is in order, fucker can't do shit.
