Cafe next to where the nix train and moore wilsons so STOCKED!

 

yeap  it told you today

Isn't that the one your mum manages (or used to)?

Apparently, Sean, you used to work there but quit cause the other staff and the boss were pricks to you and made you do all the sh*t jobs. Right ?

Actually Simon, I quit, one: because half the workers were druggies, two: the lady who managers on site was a bitch, three i couldnt make my shifts because of sport and school.

Yes.......Oh.

if anyone wants to do work for nothing then get in touch

you have to be good at graphic design or web (design/coding) though

can't promise there'll be anything to do but you know, we'll have fun calling you rookie and sending you down to the dairy to get coke and candy in your rookie cape

For anyone who doesn't know Christo is the Special One - designer of many classic YF t shirts and general all round design guru.

not much worse.

portfolio would be good though.

Oh, one other positive of Video Ezy is when people come in and rent out five porno's.  The bottom two are hetero ones and the top two are hetero ones also.  The middle one, however, is a homo one and it's as if 'oh, goodness me, how on earth did that one slip into the pile'?

Might look into that FT... Thanks!

I would presume to work at the BB you have to be 18?

Dairy farmers sometimes take on students over Christmas period to take stress of workers. The five odd months between the end of July and mid December are friggen hectic.

Working at Cotton On and liking it.

The Video Ezy franchise I work at just sold and as of December 14th all our contracts are void but we will continue to be employed until mid-January when a decision will be made on whether or not to keep each of us on/fire us.

Only a matter of time before Video shops vanish off the face of the earth, must be quite soul-destroying running one of those. I mean how many of you lot remember Betamax?

I am also looking for a job. Might try the pizza shops in Northland.

No you can be 10.

Sweet Wyners do you want a job, heres on for you

To right, nice and compact and a million times better quality than VHS.

just a suggestion for any students looking for casual work. get in touch with the different catering companies around the area. they will be busy around this time of year with functions so may be looking for temporary staff. steelo2009-11-30 17:21:10

 

Sweeeeet I could do that.

Suits you sir!

Westpac stadium will take on casuals very soon. You can choose which events you work so if you arnt going to ACDC, Cricket and the sevens they would earn you a bit of extra cash.

I worked for an outside caterers' it was great fun, you'd get p*ssed up, have fights with the chef who'd throw carving knives and sh*te at you, walk out saying you'll never work for them again only to get a phone call to work the following day as both of you were too hungover/still drunk as to who started the fight. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.


I remember being forced to drink bottles and bottles of cheap and nasty sparkling wine at an Irish wedding once, the chef/owner said the more empty bottles he had the more he could charge the bloke paying for the wedding. The whole wedding party was so p*ssed up they never noticed it was the catering staff drinking the wine and not them.

There we all were swigging from a bottle in each hand, us the kitchen crew the decrepit waitresses, one old dear on the staff, who was about 80years old, was always permanently p*ssed anyway and a complete mess was all over the place, dropping plates and stuff. You'd hear someone shouting,  "For F*cks Sake Joyce has fallen over again!" The chef in the meantime was pouring the stuff down the drain outside!

I also remember saving the lives of countless people from food poisoning on numerous occasions by arguing with the chef about his standard of hygiene/food prep, one time at a 3 day Ag fair:


Me: You cannot f*cking well serve that, you'll kill someone

Chef (p*ssed): Why? Wassa matta wiv it?

Me: It's falafal and eggs, you've had it sitting outside in the sun for 3 days, you'll give someone food poisoning.

Chef: I'm f*cking not wasting that!

Me: It's got flies sh*tting all over it!

Don't even get me started on the "sewage pit"...

  happy days

Started my summer job at McDonalds. I'm not minding it, the pay isnt bad and the work is fairly straightforward!

minimum wage?

Yep, minimum wage but I get tax returns so it doesnt turn out to be too bad for my needs.

"I get tax returns"...  

^ That

But to be honest, I don't care what it's called as long as I get my money back!

On the subject of tax refunds, i'm going to apply for mine back right now - Still looking for a job and applied at mcdonalds since well you know it seems to be the easiest place to be hired.

If you haven't claimed a tax refund for the last 4 years are you still eligible for all of it back or only the more recent stuff?

I agree. Although im not too thrilled with the fact that tomorrow morning I have to get up at 5am to get the 6am train to be on time for work. Pfft.
