I know when I use the word 'recent' in my titles it's been a while since my last update to my blog. Not that I've been too busy or whatever though, I was just lazy, and I hereby admit it.
I am still struggling to find another job. Now that I've been put on even more pressure than before as my current boss is seeking to sell this business. It's not like that business is bad in our shop and actually quite the contrary. But I totally understand my boss as it is way too hard for him having to be there 7 days a week with less than 20 days off including public holidays per year for over 2 years. I'd be so over it too if I were him. But anyway that'd mean I need another job ASAP. So far there had only been one out of hundreds of resumes I sent out that got a reply without the word 'unfortunately' in it. That doesn't mean I'd got the job though, I'm still waiting nervously for them to come back to me after two weeks. That position is in the middle of nowhere but I don't really mind, it's a good opportunity for me to gain professional experience anyway and I actually start to think of myself as a country boy.
I've read a fortune about me for the year the other day, and I was like 'no wonder'. It seems that I wouldn't be very well off all year long, that I need to be careful about betrayals, cheats, financial problems, and avoid getting into troubles the best I can. That pretty much sums up this year so far for me... The only good news seems to be, this year is almost over. But I think I'd need to read the fortune for my next year earlier next year.
I am pretty sick of the recent 'occupy somewhere' trend. Do you really want to be represented by those good-for-nothing jobless morons sitting there claiming you are one of them, the 99%, while you are working hard to achieve a better life? You are already distinctively better than them just by going to work and work hard instead of relying on welfare and whining about it. So how many are they really representing? 1% is more like it. The bottom 1%.
Qantas made a brave move to grounding every single flight to fight the unions. I have the say the age of unions has passed, now they are not much better than leeches suckling on the company. Strike campaigns went way too far in the recent months for Qantas that I hear about them at least every week on the news. What good causing inconvenience to passengers and drive them away to other airlines do for workers asking for a pay rise anyway? It only risked the very existence of the company and hence their jobs. At least for now I would be reluctant to book flights from Qantas. It was lucky that the government intervened and forbade further strikes for now. If you do care about Qantas as an iconic Australian brand then you do need to appreciate what they are doing to protect themselves. And by the way, why would you judge a CEO who runs a business which generates $20 million revenue per day for getting paid $5 million per year for salary? He deserves more than that.
