Trying to get paid at the moment is like trying to get blood out of a stone. I know I will eventually get it, but boy they are hard work at the minute.

Time for the union to get involved.

Actually Member, I run my own business and was refering to my customers. To be honest, a particular AFL club (not ours) is one of the mail culprits.

LOL, I hope you can afford to pay anyone you have working for you, that union wouldn't think twice about breaking you to make sure the staff got paid, you nasty exploitive small business man you. :wink:

Well, maybe you should contact the businesses union, yes there is one but of course it does not attract the media attention that the workers union does.

As for your clients not paying you, I'm constantly amazed at people who purchase or contract goods and services without the ability to pay up front. Maybe it's a sign of our times?

Nah, it's been going on for years. Businesses get an account and pay the bill monthly, or when they remember. Real pain in the ass, especially for smaller business who supply larger ones. They can't kick up too much of a stink when their bills don't get paid because they can't afford to lose the customer, but they can't afford to keep suppling goods and services and not getting paid either. It's a cashflow catch 22.

Idiots that last night decided to smash two of my shop windows. They also absolutely wrecked a nearby car and flooded a nearby gym. :evil:

Probably just wanted to have some "fun" though, so I guess we can excuse their behaviour. :roll:

F***ing PHYSICS!!!
I'm currently doing yr11 physics & I don't know if anyone has done phsics before but it is a f***en nightmare sometimes. We are doing this report atm where we had to take results & take about 3 trials for each. So I ended up with about 54 figures. Then for those 54 figues I had to calculate these Errors (2 different types). I spent all weekend doing it.
Then get to shool today & find out that I've done the entire f***in thing wrong!!! :twisted: :x
The teacher saw the look on my face & said "No need to slit your throat Courtnie!"....... I felt like it..... Pissed off!!!

Now, more work to do..... :(

I loathed physics as well... I dropped it for economics in year 12, probably one of the best decisions I made in high school.

sadly i pinpoint year 11 physics and chemistry as having an instrumental role in the decline of my scholastic desires.
