The STOKE thread
Tills that sucks!
wow that sucks, usually i bail on work by about 4ish to go gym or something.
Have long as shit lunches at the pub.
And i thought my job sucked, now it doesnt seem so bad!
Tills must work for Micromanagers R Us.
Haha. Apart from that the job is great! 
Being in the office at the beginning and end of each day sucks. Especially when my last call is close to home. But I do work a few lunches into my week to pad it out a bit.
If it wasn’t for the nice company car, phone, and the chunky bonus I get each year it’d be pretty had to swallow.
Not like my work. I have to be in the office by 7:30, and can’t leave till 5pm.
I’m on the road all week, and on Fridays they ask me to fill out a list of clients I plan on visiting for each day the following week.
Thats a brutal week, especially with all that planning you have to do, must be on the big bucks.
Mine is 10am -> 6pm but I can negotiate if needed. Boss let me go 30 mins early last week when we went to Warren Miller.
Stoked that it’s payday! Woo!
I dont get paid till the 15th (damn monthly pay) which is usually ok. but i have spent a metric f*ckload this month…

Ouch! I don’t know how you handle monthly pay :S I couldn’t do it.
I guess in theory you just need to make sure you only spend 1/4 of it each week.
I’m sure it’s not that simple though. My other half seems to run out of it quicker than it comes in. 
Yeh its not that hard, you get used to it.
I just dump over half of my pay in another account i dont touch (apart from paying rent) and live of the other half. Works 95% of the time. sometime si need to dip into it but rarely.
Yeah I’ve got zero control when it comes to money so that definitely wouldn’t work for me 
i have only just learnt the art of self control!
The first few months i was going without food for a day or 2 until payday haha
Stoked its payday and we are heading to Melbourne this morning!

I love monthly!
All my bills get paid monthly so i pay all them and what i have left gets split 4 ways (roughly)
I hate weekly - it feels like i am cleaning my bank acct each week! Scares the living daylights out of me. And i was finding some weeks (due to a millions bills needing to be paid) i barely had $100 to my name to survive!
Monthly much better for budgeting!
And holidays! Most pays I have enough leftover to buy say a plane ticket to japan! Rather than having to save for it.
My first pay here paid for my japan plane ticket. I would have not been able to afford it if i was still getting drip feed (paid weekly!)
The 2 weeks in advance helped immensely too! LOL

Haha!
Yeah after afore mentioned plane ticket i was tight with christmas as well and for a week I lived on the cereal we get given here at work. Breakfast and lunch!
A couple of time people caught me at lunch with the cereal and I just said “oh i am too busy to go out to get something so this will have to tide me over” haha!
But now all good.
