Re: Thought for Today
From my experience as a nightwatchman many many years ago, get a time clock put in that is only accessable from the front for the time card to be punched.
In no way leave it so the watchman can get to its workings.
Beleive me I do know all ( well most) of the time cheating tricks my associates got up to.
But beware if you do have a time clock Margaret may ask you to punch in every job's start and finish time, what time you took for a dump, what time you had for smoko, and what time you actually started and finished work.

I doubt I'd get my pay docked for poor time management .... the raises for work performance improvements didn't improve the weekly pay packetNoggins wrote: ↑Sun Apr 17, 2022 6:42 pm From my experience as a nightwatchman many many years ago, get a time clock put in that is only accessable from the front for the time card to be punched.

I think I actually have a time card clock some where, doubt we have any cards to feed into it though

If Scot Morrison is called "ScoMo" then shouldn't Anthony Albanese be called AnAl ?

Re: Thought for Today
Three letters and two letters, AntAl maybe, but Albo works well, but it's also short for Albino, does that mean he pales in comparison? It would mean he wouldn't race off the Hawaii if there was a fire problem, too much sun .... but hopefully he can play a musical instrument better than ScoMo, or at least be clever enough not to try if he can't

Re: Thought for Today
I don't know why Scomo is being plagued about his trip to Hawaii,
As far as I know with my scant knowledge of politics, I believe he's the Federal Prime Minister, which to my mind, looks over the country as a Nation.
And the State Governments are the responsible ones for the State assets, like the fire authority,( country and metro) water, power etc, etc ,etc.
So to my understanding, if the Premiers never ask for federal help, the blame for any shite happening is not on his neck, but rests soundly with the Premiers of the State in distress.
Then if asked for, or volunteered and accepted, the armed services can be called upon to act, like the rescue by the Navy on the eastern seaboard.
But the States Have to ask for it first, anything else is unconstitutional, and he'd really be in the shite if he went against that !
But as the country is calling him out for something the Premiers were responsible, the media's blame game lies on Scomo and not the Premiers, which I bet they're very happily hiding under that shadow of blame and not being called out for their heartless reduction of men and equipment.

Re: Thought for Today
"tanks" here---
Just listen to Dr Harry the tv vet and he said not to feed magpies with mince. I searched the web and found this:-
Feeding Magpies
Feeding magpies and other wild birds is a controversial topic among many animal lovers. Should we, or should we not be feeding them? Are we causing more harm than good?
In some circumstances, we sadly are causing more harm than good, especially when nutritional deficiencies develop from people feeding them inappropriate food – these most common foods being bread and plain mince.
You may have been unaware of the damage this can cause up until now, but please don’t feel guilty about it 🙂 Before I knew much about birds, I too admit that I was feeding them the wrong things!
Having heard my fair share of comments such as – ‘What a load of rubbish, I have never seen a magpie with a nutritional deficiency from being fed the wrong food!’. As a licensed wildlife carer, I specialise in caring for magpies. Each year, I and many other wildlife carers and Vets, have witnessed first-hand just what the ramifications of inappropriate feeding can do to a bird. Let me tell you, it is not pretty and it is absolutely heartbreaking, BUT can possibly be avoided!
⚠️ Magpie parents feed their nestlings a great deal of what people them. These birds require the correct nutrients to ensure their little ones grow up strong and healthy so they can avoid crippling abnormalities such as – soft/broken beaks, bone abnormalities, deformities, seizures, and improper feather growth.
