Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

When it comes to private security watchmen who are supposed to do the rounds 4 times a night, in my case, the customer. When 4 tickets came under the door in one hit, I opened the door to a rather startled woman, no idea if it was the watchman's wife or someone employed by the security mob, but she knew the game was up, I ran the security mob while she was there and asked if they'd like to speak to her about the 4 tickets in one go and not even being a watch-person as such ..... they just hung up on me and naturally never sent an account for any monies that might have been due ......

In the public sector, hopefully every voter, they are the customer after all .....

From my experience as a nightwatchman many many years ago, get a time clock put in that is only accessable from the front for the time card to be punched.
In no way leave it so the watchman can get to its workings.
Beleive me I do know all ( well most) of the time cheating tricks my associates got up to.
But beware if you do have a time clock Margaret may ask you to punch in every job's start and finish time, what time you took for a dump, what time you had for smoko, and what time you actually started and finished work.
:oops: :o

I doubt I'd get my pay docked for poor time management .... the raises for work performance improvements didn't improve the weekly pay packet :roll:
I think I actually have a time card clock some where, doubt we have any cards to feed into it though :lol:

If Scot Morrison is called "ScoMo" then shouldn't Anthony Albanese be called AnAl ?

Three letters and two letters, AntAl maybe, but Albo works well, but it's also short for Albino, does that mean he pales in comparison? It would mean he wouldn't race off the Hawaii if there was a fire problem, too much sun .... but hopefully he can play a musical instrument better than ScoMo, or at least be clever enough not to try if he can't :roll:

I don't know why Scomo is being plagued about his trip to Hawaii,
As far as I know with my scant knowledge of politics, I believe he's the Federal Prime Minister, which to my mind, looks over the country as a Nation.
And the State Governments are the responsible ones for the State assets, like the fire authority,( country and metro) water, power etc, etc ,etc.
So to my understanding, if the Premiers never ask for federal help, the blame for any shite happening is not on his neck, but rests soundly with the Premiers of the State in distress.
Then if asked for, or volunteered and accepted, the armed services can be called upon to act, like the rescue by the Navy on the eastern seaboard.
But the States Have to ask for it first, anything else is unconstitutional, and he'd really be in the shite if he went against that !
But as the country is calling him out for something the Premiers were responsible, the media's blame game lies on Scomo and not the Premiers, which I bet they're very happily hiding under that shadow of blame and not being called out for their heartless reduction of men and equipment.
