Walked out of Subway the other day, sick to death of trying to enforce rules and getting over-ridden, usually right in front of the customer. Then there's the way friends of Duty Managers can do whatever the hell they want, which means I can't enforce a rule they're breaking if another group decides to follow suit. And THEN we add in the fact I ( Read more... )

Well, IHUG just lost a customer. 8 hours of email downtime, and still it's not up again. And of course this would be on the day I wanted to purchase and download Armageddon Empires. Did I mention I'd just paid the arrears on my account and setup an auto payment system for it all ( Read more... )

I had a GREAT day at work today. Came back from putting the cardboard and wheelie bin away to find the bunch of school kids I end up kicking out every day all standing round the drink machine. They'd got drinks with their lunch, and decided to come back in four or so hours later and get refills. The chick behind the counter (The bad sandwich ( Read more... )

Truck is in getting checked for a warrant now, hopefully the list of things to fix won't be too long. Got some good hours at work this week so it won't be too much of a problem anyways ( Read more... )

Giving all these Hitch-Hikers free rides round the area is great for expanding your outlook on life. For instance, while mentioning historic spots in the area, you kinda realise that for New Zealand, history is the mid-1800s. Hell, stuff happening in the early 1900s is old, old stuff for us. Then I got to talking with one guy from Germany about ( Read more... )
