thoughts about food and work

Thursday nights are frustrating - Jamie Oliver is on the TV and cooking up some incredibly awesome food. It’s salivating. He’s just cooked a shoulder of pork in this awesome sauce and when he pulled it out, it just fell apart. Yum indeed!

I’ll be interested to see how Labour move with their ideas for workplace agreements in the new year. My AWA with Telstra expires in January… and Telstra have offered new AWAs to all employees this month - basically renewing the existing agreement for a further 5 years. Now that will either potentially protect us (employees) if the new Labour workplace laws aren’t all that sensational, or it could benefit Telstra because the new Labour laws will be great for employees and not so good for employers.

I have my new AWA with me, and I need to sign it in about a week if I want to renew it. If I don’t, I guess I’ll end up on the new Labour agreement pretty quickly into the new year… But I’m actually just thinking now - I think I don’t even have to sign that one either. Hmmm… will need to think about that this week.

Today was another day out at the fulfilment centre trying to get through some of the backlog with those guys. It was a good day… but I guess a day where I also revisited a relationship that I thought wasn’t around anymore. Kind of strange I guess… I had sort of thought things weren’t happening and so just left it. But it seems to have come back up again. I guess I will just do a bit of praying about it, try not to be anxious, and see where it goes. God always has my back :)

Time for some dinner I think.
