I got promoted at work. Kinda. One of my bosses who I haven't met yet offered me senior shifts which are usually only done by (and you guessed it!) senior staff. The shift starts at 10pm on Sundays, and ends around 6 or 7am Monday. I've been told I can make nearly two hundred for that one night, and it's no more difficult than what I'm doing at the ( Read more... )

w00t! Promotion-type goodness! ^_^ Congrats! I wish I could have a job where I get both good money and good hours... *glares at Mr. G's* At least I'm getting better money than I was getting at McDonalds.
We get a few crazy customers. There was one lady that assumed because I was female I know my way around a sewing machine. And she was asking me all of these sewing questions...And I just stood there and smilied and nodded... I didn't know what else to do. I wanted to say, "Look lady, I haven't sewed on a sewing machine since I was ten years old, now buggar off." But...I didn't...^^;
Hang-gliding? ...Oooooooo... It's weird, I hate heights on ladders... Because they are so unstable...But I think it'd be interesting to hang-glide...^^; Especially over Sydney...heh...
Uhm... *kills your mouse?* *steals Alan's and sends it to you* XD

I get that all the time with BBQ's, and people looking at Motor Oils and the like..

I tell em straight up after they ask too many questions, I eat from a Microwave, and I "drive" an 18speed Bike.. so your asking the wrong person ;)

( It never works, they still ask awak and I still just respond with "I donno" or "Got me.." )

Night Shifts.. Ugh.. I hate em.. I'm thrilled that I no longer have to work eariler than 7 and later than 10 .. I'm only a night person when I am doing whatever I want ;)

Just a week ago or so, we had a customer come in and ask if we sell nylons... Nylons... At a little mum-n-pop grocery store... Uh-huh...
It is kind of funny that we sell motor oil and stuff like that though, we'll get people that'll come in and say, "Ya'know, I doubt you guys carry this, but do you have motor oil?" And I just say, "Yep, Isle 1B." heh.

I work at a Superstore, Grocery Store meets Walmart, and we get asked for everything you can think of, bikes, tools, car parts, X-Boxes, computers, and Popsicle Sticks.. ( And we do have most of that ;) ) ..

The weird part is, if you tell them we don't, they think you're wrong, or lying, as go find another person and ask, then another, and another.. one person came in and asked almost everyone who works at the store, including 8 of the Cashiers..

I hate customers.. They should have to take an IQ/EQ test before being allowed into the store.. ( and on that note, so should the other people who work there )..

Working at Engadine Woolies - it's a really good job I reckon.
I'd put a good word in for you if that was possible, but they get some 3rd party to do all the hiring and stuff. You gotta apply online now anyway. Worth a shot applying for Night Fill I guess..
Good luck ^_~

Hooray. Your promotion is a good sign that I might also be promoted, from unemployed to employed.

I can't believe the scroll wheel would cause so many problems though.

What days are you working by the way? I wanna do something.

Miss you dude.

Good luck with it.

Nether can I. Weird thing...

I'm working whenever they need me - currently Fridays, Saterdays, Sundays, and usually two other nights a week. In other words, I'm busy. if you wanna talk with me your best bet is to stay up till 12:30am when I get home.
Or email. Email works.

If you miss me where are my flowers?

That was kind of you to help out that Ig guy.

As for that Crazy Lady, staff should be equipped with tranq guns or at least those peashooter types like the indians tribes use.

The wheel-mouse, i mean "hole-mouse", just consider it as a ventilation hole for you mouse. =P

Uh, not really kind. Truth be told I did it because if I didn't he'd be in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

I keep asking for tasers, but they just won't give them to us, *sigh*

I'd rather a functional wheel mouse than a functional hole mouse. Must get exchange - it's still under warrenty and such,
