A job I applied for months ago finally came up at very short notice. I was told half an hour ago to start part time tomorrow part time at a busy sports wear warehouse. Though told I was successfully contracted 8 weeks ago the only just told me my start date - horrible four days on - four days off shift pattern. It'll slow down my writing on here but it won't stop me. I have a very long tram ride to an from my noon to six pm shifts each day. Arthur Chappell

@Hannihar it didn't happen in the end - this post is actually three years old. The company changed its mind after I injured myself on the way in and sat bleeding in the manager's office - they just expected me to start anyway rather than fixing myself up and coming back later so I quit without starting

@arthurchappell It is so that they could see that you were injured and did not care. I do not blame you for not taking the job Arthur. They probably would have been a nightmare to work for and you saw what they were like in the very beginning. Are you ok now from the injury?

This is excellent news Arthur, especially considering how hard you have tried to find employment. Rather a pity that it is only part time, but hopefully it may lead to a full time offer in time.

Great news about the job, but how rude of them to leave it until the last minute to tell you. I love trams. Get to ride them whenever I go across to Melbourne.
