I see the latest media frenzy is the "false widow spider"... Do you think the fact it likes warm damp places has given roughly half the population restless nights and a reason to put on an extra set of their partner's shorts?

Personally I say we invest heavily in tampons and re-brand them as Gap Filler.

Making do with my mosquito net for the time being.
 
Evening all. Anybody serving drinks tonight?

Somebody been bored and gone on a tagging frenzy? <laugh>
 
If you are let go at the end of a 6 month probation period, does it count as a sacking and will it hurt future employment opportunities?

I say this because I've been in the job 4 months and they called me in for a half time review.

I'm doing well in one side of my job, which is the customer care part, but I've made a few too many mistakes in the admin area, and they said they'll be reviewing my progress in the next 4 weeks and want to see improvement.

This is kind of depressing like. The mistakes have been trivial, but obviously too many made. I'm stressing out because this is a good job as well.

Anyone else been in a similar position?

I'm going to double check everything I do thoroughly now, perhaps triple check. It'll make me slower at my tasks but I'm darned if I'm losing a job like this for a few mistakes in data input.
