    Just wondering if anyone else thinks this is really low...

    K well I went for a Maccas interview this arvo. Anyway, I got there right on time (dressed for the interview-nice collared shirt and trousers) and anyway the manager said "come back in an hour, we're busy at the moment". So I thought ok, that's a bit rude but hey I'll come back. Anyway, I got...

    Help with mobile phone needed!

    Nah my phone's a golden oldie (nokia 1100). Does any1 know if it's possible to just buy the model of a phone without having to buy the sim card and all the other stuff as well? I've got the sim card all I really need is a new model.

    Help with mobile phone needed!

    K well since Friday my phone's been saying "insert sim" . The sim card WAS inserted. So anyway I asked the bloke at the optus shop and he said sometimes sim cards "get old and need replacing". So being very foolish I purchased one and tried THAT in my phone but it still says "insert sim"...

    Don't give me the crap that attendance counts!!

    Yeah. But I reckon there are exceptions. E.g. my situation: - legal studies teacher talked more about her own life than she did the course. We made complaints to the principal but nothing happened, so 50% of our class went to the library instead during the periods. - my maths teacher always...

    bookstores

    Oh god I want a job there too. Just looking at all those books last time I visited the one in Mq Centre made my mouth water. Anyway I went onto the website, and it only lets you apply for jobs in America. Handy, eh? I'm going in next week to try and force them to accept my resume. :D Though I'm...

    Don't give me the crap that attendance counts!!

    They will imprint in your brain that attendance is important. But I think that if there's a particular reason for you missing a class e.g. the teacher is unreasonable, the classroom is too loud+not conducive of study or you've already covered the topics and would prefer to teach yourself then I...

    my manager keeps messing with me, what to do?

    Definitely. I had to ring up about how much notice I needed to give for quitting a while back and the union didn't even care if I was a member. They gave me really detailed advice regardless. Doing it over the phone is really quick and cost-effective. Managers know that younger employees...

    What are you currently Reading?

    at the moment I'm reading "The world according to the simpsons: What our favourite family says about life, love and the pursuit of the perfect donut". Lotsa fun. U get to learn what the show says about 'Western cultural hegemonies' and 'American exceptionalism' lol. Apart from the fact that the...

    Waiting for Late Round? (post your course)

    Hehe I completely forgot about late rounds. Went onto uac a few minutes ago and it told me I have a late round offer for a "double law degree program" at Newcastle uni. I'm not gonna take it though. I've already hyped myself up to move to Sydney and go to Macquarie. EDIT: Also playing...

    Why is Harry Potter so crap?

    Start putting capitals at the beginning of your sentences and question marks at the end of your questions and then we'll talk. Agreed. People who talk about hp as a purely simplistic series remind me of those who say "The Simpsons" is 'just a cartoon' . They have their heads in the sand. By...

    Why is Harry Potter so crap?

    Hmmm my english teacher was dead against the books. She said a lot of the symbolism and ideas were stolen from other texts. I asked her to elaborate but the bell rang. Also- I know that when some texts get extraordinarily popular and develop "cult" followings, people can occasionally miss the...

    First year booklists

    Wanting to be a clever child and avoid the rush, I went onto the uni co-op website to find a book list for my degree. I was thinking that if I started looking for the texts now I might have time to get them second hand (I'm rlly poor at the moment). But Mq is the only uni that needs your id and...

    Help Needed!!!!!!!!

    Yeah I'll give you an example. Below is an excerpt from my workplace assignment. The newspaper article was on the impact of the scrapping of unfair dismissals under Workchoices. One of the themes that jumped out at me from the newspaper article was "Continuity and Change: the evolution of...

    Time spent travelling to work

    Could I ask how many hours you work per week? Just curious cos most of the ads I've seen don't talk about hours for those kinda positions. Also does any1 know if studying on public transport is viable? Lol or is trying to study with rowdy teens in a crowded bus/train just a nice ideal?

    Time spent travelling to work

    K well I'm applying for jobs. I want to work around 15hrs per week and I'll be situated in North Ryde (doing a single degree). Problem is that I'm seeing all these legal receptionist/library jobs that look great ($23 p/hr), however it'd take me about 1hr to get there. I don't have a car and...

    Help Needed!!!!!!!!

    If you have a brother/sister at uni then you should also have access to online databases to all national and international newspapers(however recent you want). You'll need to ask for their online uni login details. If this isn't the case then finding articles will probably be a lot harder for...
