I've got my yearly job of making sure the TV in the lunch room works...

Bunny ears FTL

I believe we're doing some sort of sweep...

Big lunch though which I'm looking forward to

[B4TT]

yeah we are doing food/beer/sweeps, finishing up at 1 today

More excitedly though, will be the announcement today from the Reserve Bank on the predicted interest rate drop.

My Bank Manager mate has deliberately stalled my loan application just to capitalise on the drop in the interest rate.

Then he'll lock me in at that rate, for three years.





BAAWWZZ.

Good luck with that, hoping for your sake they do drop it

LOL @ this.

When I was studying at Uni, I was working at a labour agency, for an electronics company.

I was moving million dollar electronics machines, and installing and aligning processing plants. They decided to keep me for a bit, after the new production line was installed.

I was doing boring, medial jobs, but the pay was kinda cool for a 19yo. ($18 hour)

One day, my boss (late 50s of age) approached me, and asked if I knew anything about computers. I told him I studied 3 unit computers at high school, and I knew a bit about programming.

So he tested me... He asked me to open MS Excel.

Now, in the past, I've seen him open MS Excel, through the Start Menu (circa Windows98), despite having office shortcuts bar in the upper right screen.

So I opened Excel using the shortcut. BAM! It opens.

Boss, stunned.... closes it again. Asked me to do it again, with some disbelief.

So I did. Shortcut. Again.

So he thanked me, and left.

The following day, they were offering me a permanent position in charge of a production plant manufacturing commander telephones and toshiba laptops, earning $80k pa.

I politely declined.

LOL

Cheah. Fixed.

Pretty much.

[Shaz]

Fairy muff.

Will be interesting to see if they actually cut the rate. I don't personally think they will, but who knows, you might be in luck!

[skillionaire]

Neiwad. All my coin on that one.

Have to get my Fuckin internet working, phone surfing sucks.

[B4TT]

The decision is yours Shaz... owning the reserve bank and all.. What makes you think they will hold the current rate?

Neiwad. All my coin on that one.

Bubbye Grove! Nik just bet you all on an Adelaide truck.

[skillionaire]

Yes I'm not sure how It's spelled. But if I was smart I'd put the bet on yesterday, still haven't left the hotel and now he's in single digits.

[Shaz]

Well they reckon inflation isn't rising as much as they originally thought; not enough to warrant a rate rise anyway.

But, it is definitely not dropping. So yeah, that makes me think they won't. But again, who knows. The monkeys in charge of the RBA should be fired.


*writes down in diary - "fire monkeys"*

[Marv]

Oh ok

Good boy.

[skillionaire]

It will make gillard look pretty bad if they don't drop it.
