Dumb Questions Amnesty

I think it just counts as continuous employment. So if you were casual for 3 years then moved to PT for 4 years, you would still be entitled to the 7 years oro-rata of LSL as the 3 years would count as continuous employment.

@Bacchusfox would definitely know.

that’s nice to know but I’ve left with nothing

How long were you there for?

We had someone who did 2 years as a casual 1 day a week and then went PT for another 2 years (4 days a week]. So he said according to our EBA he was entitled to LSL (ours is 3 years) and was adamant.

3 years was for FT, 7 years PT. Even after I explained it to him and he was like “ah, fair enough, thanks for looking in to it for me, all the best” he still went to the union rep and the union lawyer and I showed them and they were like “oh, he didn’t mention anything about Pt/FT classification”

I only know about the past and what Fair Work Australia says.

My Mum worked for Myer for over 30 years, and it was initially classed as casual meaning no sick pay leave public holiday or other entitlement. She worked three days a week every week for 20 years , and her Union challenged the conditions based on another person who left. Industrial Court judged Mum and others were permanent part-time so all working conditions and benefits applied so Myer had to back pay her for 20 years of holidays etc. We got a new car, secondhand Commodore actually. Dad called the car Sidney.

Hot chocolate, how do people have it?

Apparently it is normal to have it just with water?

In Italy they put in the chocolate powder, then add a tiny bit of water to thicken it up, then add milk. This is still disgusting

I just have it with chocolate powder and milk. Is this not normal???

this is how cafes in aus do it too

WTF! Must just be me then

I only have it with milk.
These days, I add hot chocolate to milk warmed up in the Nespresso frother.

Why is it disgusting? I do this to make sure the powder dissolves and doesn’t get clumpy. Fill with milk, then zap in the microwave lol

That was me, I hate it the taste like that. Watered down milk, yuk!

Somebody told me that evaporated milk mixed with urine can bring people back from the dead.

But I don’t believe in wee-in-Carnation.

Nitrogen fertiliser for your flowers?

I remember having a Mexican hot chocolate where they a slab of pure chocolate, shaped like those Wagon Wheel lollies, and melt it in a heating liquid. Small amount of liquid, water I think, and melted in a low heat.

Read an article recently that you can no longer mow your lawns between 12pm and 4pm. Is this true?

Sounds untrue. Did the article state a reason?

Not true, for Vic

discourse won’t let me link the page anymore - google residential noise restrictions Victoria

So what’s 12pm, noon or midnight. You not going to find that time on any set of rules.

You have to call it midnight or midday, or 0000 and 1200.

Your links busted
