onetrack Posted October 29 Posted October 29 I always like Billy Connellys comment about toilets. "Once you reach 65, never, ever, go past any toilet". 2
spacesailor Posted November 7 Posted November 7 My gripe !. The whinging commuter's have had Tuck's Rd " shut off " from Fitzwilliam Rd. After their complaints of being held up , while allowing Tucks rd residents to get out. Only one access to the whole community. spacesailor 1 1

facthunter Posted November 7 Posted November 7 You do after all, LIVE in Sydney's WESTERN SUBURBS. Not a place of high Gov't spending Priority. Is the TRAIN an alternative? Nev 1
spacesailor Posted November 8 Posted November 8 Yes ! . Public transport ! . I had an " opal " card . used it last year now my money's gone & I have a nice new-one . Just have to put more money in . Then hopefully it will not be stolen by the operators. It did feature on TV news , that's why I & my other half checked . Their words 'blocked ' . But we still are expected to pay again . KEEP CASH . OR KEEP FEEDING THE CARD. spacesailor 1
facthunter Posted November 8 Posted November 8 O Hell Mate, why is it ALL SO depressing in your Life? The OPAL system in NSW is the BEST deal in the Country. Nev 1

According to the Opal site, this happens after 5 years of non-use. In any case, registering your card would prevent this. My Myki card is on my phone and connected to an account. When the balance falls below $10, it is automatically topped up. I don't even have to think about it 1
red750 Posted November 8 Posted November 8 I don't use public transport. 2017 Avalon Airshow was the last time I used a train. Public transport doesn't go anywhere near where I travel. Haven't been near the CBD since pre Covid. Should I choose to, next year, as a pensioner, my travel will be free on weekends. 1
spacesailor Posted November 8 Posted November 8 I find the public transport is a long & tedious route. and not anywhere comfortable. The end of a plus , forty minute trip, will leave you with a twenty minute walk , to your destination. But that car trip can " drop-off " outside your destination, only leaving a half hour finding A vacant parking space . LoL spacesailor 1
pmccarthy Posted November 8 Posted November 8 If you have a continence problem, public transport is an added risk. 1

red750 Posted November 10 Posted November 10 Our NBN is up and down like a bride's nightie. You'll be working on posting and you'll get "No internet". It will be out for 5 to 15 minutes then come back on again. It was as slow as a wet week over the weekend. They were working on an upgrade on Friday, and are back again today. Playing havoc with my son working from home. He has had to resort to using the personal hotspot on his mobile phone. 1
red750 Posted November 10 Posted November 10 Normally I would be at the Shed today. Got there today and the carpark was empty. Checked my phone and saw that the Co-ordinator had sent a text after I went to bed saying the Shed would be closed. He's been having a lot of flu problems. I turn my phone off completely overnight or it has less than 10% battery left in the morning. Didn't get the text till I was at the Shed. 1
Jerry_Atrick Posted yesterday at 05:05 PM Posted yesterday at 05:05 PM HR Departments.. Have no idea how the real world works.. Won't go into detail, but one of my reports works her posterior off and wanted a couple of days compassionate leave. She doesn'tyet meet the service requirements as per the policy., which says in rare circumstances, exceptions will be given, but of course doesn't list the circumstances. I asked for an exemption based on the hours she puts in compared to the hours she is contracted. No dice from them. Rules are rules! So, Ihad totell my direct report no,but then said, do not work an hour over her contracted hours for the foreseeable future. Their loss, for two days leave! 1 1
Marty_d Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Discretion should be at the manager level for that - the person who knows her best. 3
facthunter Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago I've been in a University Psychology Class with a lot of Business Managers and most of THEM saw Psychology as a tool of power and People manipulation. I was astounded (and disappointed.). Nev 1
