Caryl 223 Report post Posted December 25, 2007 Should be good money though plus time off in lieu. I am on holiday (well deserved) and have just returned from a very pleasant hours walk, to walk off some of lunch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crikey, you're a glutton for punishment. See there was no news today so TV3 filled most of their news hour with stories about zoo-keepers having to be at work to feed the animals (and random things off You-tube!) ?

camnbron 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 That sounds almost exactly like my shifts. Where do you work? At the Tasman mill in Kawerau. We do 2 night shifts, have a 24 hour break, 2 day shifts and then have a 3 1/2 day weekend. We also operate with a utility shift, so every 10 weeks I am the spare guy and cover the other 4 sparkies for holidays, sick leave and training. If they don't need covering the spare guy waits at home twiddling their fingers and thumbs! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caryl 223 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Work has been odd here as the long time receptionist left. Her replacement gave up suddenly after a few days and I was left on my own handling everything! I then had to train the new one. Today when I arrived at work he persented me with a lovely bouquet of flowers and a substantial cheque (over and above the usual wages) to say thanks for all the extra work I had been doing. :bounce: It is nice to be appreciated 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the middle of training up a new girl, and I'm also expected to keep up with my workload too.. its hard work, but I guess I don't have to tell you that! I get nothing for my troubles though..
