hmmm

Nothing...

Well, stuff at work so I'll torque about that.

Teh boss (who has his finger in many pies) sez that he's close to retiring if this (...) plan works out (i don't even think he's 30 yet but hey - ace) so he needs to make sure that I am capable of doing his job. It's GREAT to think that he thinks that I could handle it (with training). Coz at the moment I'm not particularly working hard, just constantly. Heh.

Anyway, I might do a diploma relating to business if it looks like I'm a contender. Coz I know the systems back to front, it's just my business sense that needs developing. I hate, for example, forcing suppliers to get us better pricing. bleh.

It is, however, a great place to work. You may think a cemetery would be morbid, but for my role, in infrastructure it's great. The staff are all ACE and the conditions are perfect. Plus having an office in super-maintained parklands (with the occasional memorial or headstone lolf) is great, especially in the warmer monfs.

Anyway, my contract is up in December so we'll need to look at it at the end of september. So I'm putting in more into the new building project to show that I am useful. Coz my current role will be dimished once we move coz the systems are more self-maintaining, if yer know what i mean.

Meh, I need a wagerise too. Ppl keep telling me that 5% is about normal but I know I am still paid below industry rates so I'm gonna push (but not too hard) for more than that. Especially when I do so much more than IT support.

In other news, I am catching up on my bills, but now I have a frickin tax bill of $600. So I can't spend anything till I have that much clear. Bugger. It's the stupid HECS and Medicare levy that are doing it. Which sucks coz I pay for full private health insurance. And don't really use it. Anyway, I'm doing alright, just don't have any spare money at the moment.
