| Right now, I'm at work as an office assistant for a construction company and bored out of my mind. All I do here is sit here in front of the computer and wait for phone calls (Which come like once every hour) so I can take messages, and also do some small tasks when the boss asks me to. Yeah it's pretty bludgey here, but also pretty boring at times. So now I have all the time in the world to do whatever, such as writing down my thoughts here.
I also just started at other job, where I work as a sales assistant for fresh produce at Coles Bondi Westfield (Why does everybody seem to be working at Bondi) which unfortunately isn't bludgey at all. Just yesterday, this other guy there asked me "Hey, you wanna help me out and pull some palletes for me?" And I said "Sure, is it hard?" to which he replied "Nah its easy, all you have to do is pull a few small boxes of fruit from the dock to the coolroom." When we got the the dock, he pressed the button and the door started rolling up. I watched as the door rolled up, until in front of me was a huge crate, twice my height, full of watermelons. When I turned around to ask the guy for help, he was gone. I couldnt even get it to budge no matter how hard I pulled, and when another guy who was passing by pushed it and started it moving, I couldn't stop it because of the momentum and I was nearly crushed as it crashed into some other boxes. After a very long time and many struggles, I managed to dump the crate in the coolroom. Then that guy appeared and asked me "Where did you put the rest of them?" That crate was only the first one out of ten. Afterwards, every muscle in my body was aching and sore, and I am never doing that ever again (Even though its supposed to be a regular part of my job).
In other news, uni results were emailed out last night.

I guess I did ok for some subjects (rank equal 1st in the subject for COMP!) and totally crap for others, but these marks were what I expected to get anyway, reflecting how much work I put in for each subject. Well I'm dropping actuarial studies next year, as I don't want to spend the rest of my life calculating insurance premiums for life insurance companies (And a lot of hard work is needed, which I'm not willing to put in). No idea what Í'm gonna do instead though. |
