ili posted:Yeah the lack of info about what's going on in QLD is frustrating. The ex wife works/worked in a food shop so she's not sure if her work is still open or if she still has a job at this stage as all the businesses nearby are shuttering so customers are drying up. No idea if our schools are done as of Tuesday too or there's still two weeks to go. Without any concrete details it's hard to work out what to do tomorrow. I'm trying to get some loving solid yes/no answers on what my rights are with my paid time off before I go into work tomorrow. Anticipating a full lockdown.

Turns out we are staying open as we aren't really public facing and even if we close, all leave will be paid out first to lessen the risk of staff going under financially. I've got quite a lot of holiday and medical leave banked up so its nice to feel semi ok - boss even said it's a perfect time to do some serious internal audits/stocktakes on our warehouses which I've been screaming for over the last few years. Also some IT and machinery infrastructure upgrades/services. A lot of that will also involve other local companies keep staff employed as we contract them to us. Godspeed goons in not as good a position!

I'm still voting in person for the sole satisfaction of telling the wankers who have the flyers to gently caress off out of my personal space. And scrawl over the ballots. We had to let the new guy go today, is a shame as he is a nice bloke. The boss is just playing it safe and getting rid of new extras it seems now. I went over the stats for my department and I'm busier than over summer which is odd, also my projections are still going up.

well why not posted:loving real estate agent running an open house in my building this morning. Against the rules, loving irresponsible as. I didn't want to be a Karen but in this situation I had to be. 3 cars worth of people I've never seen rolled up across the road and entered the house for a few hours. Cops asked me to get licence plate numbers... gently caress off, get over here and police. I'll all for visiting a mate, but having that many people over including the suspicious bit of blocking two driveways might have made the cops actually respond.

Raged posted:For the love of Zod. Don't go shopping today. I had to for work and it wasn't even the 45+ minute lines to get in the shop. It was the old people. They just don't give a gently caress. Anything from getting in your personal space over and over to congregating in big groups in shopping isles to talk to each other. The woolies I was at was really organized and had a nice sectioned 1 person wide line to leave the building. I was leaving and the line just did not move for a few minutes due to an old couple deciding to stop the whole line to chat with friends. The dose of BoomerRemover will cull the herd soon enough

Caesar Saladin posted:Thanks man. Tbh a piece of nicotine gum made me feel a lot better. So spicy though. I wasn't told the last time I tried to quit about how to use the gum. Pro tip is to chew it until the spicy comes out then store it in your gum like a squirrel with an acorn. This releases the nicotine faster into your system. And don't get a piece when you want to smoke/your old break times. Constantly change it out when it looses that spice. I was a smoker for 16 years and getting that advice on how to use the gum properly knocked my cravings in maybe a week. As for the physical associations with smoking I still went out on my 'smoko' but sat and checked phone etc. So I got that mind-reset that a smoke break used to do.

Airstream Driver posted:Interested in what's wrong with the Goodguys concierge service because I just had a pretty good experience with it. Bought a Samsung tv from them over 3 years ago, 3 weeks later when the price dropped lower at a different store they refunded me 120% of the difference. I got $20 store credit every 4 months for the duration of the concierge period. 3 months ago when the tv had a fault they organised to have it taken away and looked at. They then offered a full store credit refund and extended the warranty on the new tv I chose for another 5 years for free. From a service agent side they lie through their teeth. Say the customer will be contacted within 24 hours for in home support. We didn't even get the job for a few days. Then the customer calls us bitching why we aren't at their house. We have no Idea who they are because no job lodged yet. TV repair under Samsung though is easy peasy. Customer calls Samsung and says its screwy. The agent gets shipped the parts the Samsung rep believes will fix the problem usually overnight and sometimes beats the email sent to us. Then fingers crossed the rep got it right or customer rages at us thinking we decided the wrong parts.
