I was thinking the same thing... and you just KNOW it's bad when it's ME thinking that it's brutal!!

When I lived in Townsville there were HEAPS of Skylines. Couldn't go through one day without seeing at least 5 of them just on Ingham Rd alone! It would be interesting to see how big of a turnout you got if you organised a meet up there.

Customer Contact is apparently the name of the qualification needed to work in a call center environment. The discussion you missed - the short version. Sarina Russo said "yes, we're a job network member, and can help you look for jobs. But first you have to spend 2 weeks doing one of the following things: Work for the dole, course in admin, course in retail, course in customer contact. I figured I knew the most about customer contact and figured I may as well get a bit of paper to say I knew how to do to chuck on the resume. Seemed more appropriate than retail or admin. Also decided I'd get more out of that, than work for the dole. Which would give me skills in unpacking boxes and working with ex cons. So I sign up for it. Then all of a sudden it's five weeks and it's soooooooo mind numbing. The really annoying part is I got told there were limited places in the course, and that only the best applicants would make it in. If they're only going to accept the best... why is it so elementary?!

That's what she said!

So if anyone remembers my discussion about Sarina Russo the other week and them making me do some course dealy... that started yesterday. It's a proper certificate qualification in customer contact. Honest to god... customer contact needs a certificate now to prove you can do it... I miss the world before it went stupid. So for FIVE WEEKS I have to go to Saria Russo and do this course, that I could easily do in a night if they let me take the book home. But oh noes! Can'ts take teh buks! Apparently it's all so hardcore copyrighted that it can't leave the room with you. So if you want to do revision of a night. Too bad. It's a threat to national security. Seriously... the way the lady described it was like they had an Enigma machine and didn't want anyone to crack the code! The "teacher" is as smart as my left ass cheek, so that's already made for some interesting "debates". Her grammar is TERRIBLE. Example of yesterday's whiteboard writing: your on a Island to your left is a MYER'S to your right is a Macca's in front of you is a BP Behind you is water (were R. U. ?) That is character for character what she wrote down!! My head almost exploded. I corrected her in front of the whole "class" while everyone stared at it wondering how it was wrong... *facepalm* For those wondering here's the corrected version: You're on an island. To your left is a MYER, to your right is a Macca's, in front of you is a BP and behind you is water (where are you ?) She loves breaking everone up into groups too... to "brainstorm". I'm sorry... but how can there be a storm if the three people you put me with don't even have any electrical activity in their brain?! This is going to be a loooonnnnng five weeks. And it's 0900-1530 every weekday, which really cuts into my job hunting time... so not impressed. Hasing coffees nao to try and calm nerves before I go. Oh! And one week we have to go to Caboolture! Caboolture of all places!! And she has the nerve to try and organise some sort of carpool because only a few of us have cars. I'm sorry... but if I don't know these people, or give them a ride to their job interviews, or to work... why the hell am I going to give them a ride to CABOOLTURE?!?! Keep dreaming lady! They can get there however they get everywhere else. By the way... can anyone tell me why the first chapter in the book is about effective team work/working in teams etc. What does that have to do with customer contact? I asked the "teacher". Her answer? "It's one of the modules in the book". So... because it's in the special Enigma pages... it's part of it. I should try and sneak in something on deep fryers... *sigh* I have to leave soon... I think I'm going to have to get V or Rockstar on the way. There's no way I can deal with this without copious ammounts of caffiene

I think we're missing the rather important point of: by the time anyone outruns anyone. He's already got your Make, Model, Color and Licence plate both in his mind, and on his camera

Not a Skyline, but I see a little grey 180 with NIZ.180 plates parked on Albany Creek Rd a lot. Just drove past it again a couple of minutes ago.
