The I am a pirate/fireman, I am not a hijacker thread, all about nothing in general

[becpee]

** spoiler warning: major rant below.

ok. majorly, majorly pi$$ed off right now. majorly.

i was originally going to finish up august 10th. then cause i was sick on the weekend, i spoke with my bosses and they agreed to me finishing up this friday.

went to work wednesday and wasn't feeling the greatest, and they were like, look, why don't you just finish up as of yesterday (tuesday) and just go home and chillax and start healing without worrying about work... so i said sure.

i officially finished up on tuesday, and i said goodbye to all my work friends, and i have been at home feeling unloved and unwanted for the last 2 days.

just checked my bank account for my termination pay, plus regular wages for the last fortnight, and they have underpaid me by like $2500.



a politely worded email to my boss to please investigate, as i have print outs from our payroll system dated 2 days ago detailing the # of hours of annual & long service leave that should have been paid out, plus my regular wages = approx $2500 more than i got.

i mean, it's not the end of the world. but it's a decent amount of money, and it would be nice to at least get what was owed to me, you know??



just had a big fight with carlo over the phone, and just paid the whopping electricity bill, the loan payment and now feel completely broke...

oh, and broke my little toe falling down the stairs this morning.

what a $hit day.

** end of rant

AARRGGHH!

Maybe they haven't done a full payout though, I know it can take a while, when I left one of the big 4 it took a month to get all my entitlements, and they should be organised

Today brings me pain, back/shoulder/neck and now arm which I think is from over compensating

So the only thing I could think of to fix it was bourbon and nurofen...so far so good

Osteo is back from NZ next week, thank God! I think I need a new mattress, mine is like a taco

Are you sure they were going to pay you Long Service Leave - this is not generally paid until after 5years service.

I like your remedy! I've tried Sauvignon Blanc + Codral for my stupid head cold but it just ain't doing the job.

Maybe I'll try Bailey's and Benadryl....

Sounds like a plan (although having to fix my mistakes on here makes double the work )

My mum bought the bottle duty free for my DH...pretty sure he hasn't had any


BTW if I get one more person claiming "it's a conspiracy" when they fail to read the special tickets properly I will not be responsible for my actions

There is totally a market for those type of greeting cards

Compared to some my day was good
One of the girls I work with got the results back from her ultrasound last week, she's been feeling sick and generally unwell.
She has a tumour on her kidney, and they're doing a biopsy next week to see what sort of tumour it is (benign hopefully).

And all she's worried about is work...the only advice I could offer to her was to forget about work, it's unimportant right now and to concentrate her energy on getting well...
She has a fierce work ethic, and then on the other hand I have the lazy sods...

If you're at 48 then we're at 49! ( I like the way you can do all the counting for me )

Exactly 7 weeks from now I'll be waiting at the gate to board

I feel like I'm in a bit of a lull with planning at the moment, everything is booked but it's too far away to do last minute stuff. I do have to buy travel insurance and sort out our phones ( after my second call to Telstra I'm hoping that THIS time they have managed to unlock them....

Lol. That is where i was at a week and a half ago. I voluntarily resigned rather than leave on bad terms but i know how you feel now i have no job and no trip in the works for this year, no big romantic trip or proposal to look forward to ... But i am way less stressed and mych happier than i was a week and a half ago

I've certainly felt like saying it a few times over the years, but I can remember my mum telling me "don't s**t where you eat" - wise words indeed. Just try to hang in there, you've got Disney to look forward to!

At least i'm laughing

A new day, and my biorhythm's look bad...today will be no better than yesterday

ah no, I hope she's going to be ok.

so totally jealous of all of you who have trips coming up in sept/oct/nov/dec.

god. cancelling was easy. living with it is hard. everyday i struggle not to just rebook everything and say to hell with it, we're going

still loving to read along with all the pretrip planning though, and i'll be devouring any TRs you choose to share

feeling like a really bad gf right now. i've had a series of bad days, health wise, but the carpet needs vacuuming, the house needs dusting and airing out, badly!! and i need to do some serious tidying and spring cleaning around here.. instead, i've been curled up in bed or on the couch trying to recover, watching army wives , and contributing to the mess. and my garage.. my lord, the mess in there!!!

feeling guilty for not being one of those beautiful women whose homes are perfect and who are dressed prettily and every hair is in place.

Who? Who are these women? I sure don't know any... and if I did I'd probably hate them

You just concentrate on getting well, I think Carlo would rather have you ( and the dust) rather than a Stepford Wife, any day!

[BecBennett]

As far as you all know - I AM one of those women!

Just don't come around to my house without a month's notice...
