Oldest daughter rang the other day. She's managed to turn NSW in terms of her employer stores (womens retail clothing company) around from being the worst performing state to the best in her 15 or so months there.
She spent almost all weekends or part weekends at work while they've successfully opened new stores.
Now she wants a pay rise. She wanted $10K extra she asked me & I said ask for $15K then settle on $10K.
I asked her to consider: what the bottom line is for her & ensure she thinks about negotiations rather than react to offers. They offered her 5, she asked for 12 they gave her $10K!! I don't understand that but who cares; she got what she thought she was worth & the employers know she is hard working, responsible & obviously value her.
The other part of that equation is she is coming back to Vic to manage Victorian stores - will be nice to have her back. Well done her. Very proud. She will now have to turn Vic around - has her work cut out for her.
(& she never went to Uni but has done TAFE courses paid for & arranged by the company).

I haven't had a pay rise for years, we've had our qaurtely bonuses scrapped and there was no xmas bonus for the first time in 5 years.
Our CEO got 216,000 performance shares though ($6.08 each).
Told us times were tough 6 months back, when copper was $US1.96/lb..... it's since hit an 18 month high ($US2.54/lb)

The kids having a good job has always been a concern. I'm lucky, they all did the McDonalds or KMart (youngest still does Kmart afterschool/Weekends & holidays) as soon as they were old enough.
Tamara (26) is a hairdresser by trade but currently works as a rental manager for a real estate company (Trade straight after year 12).
Sharnee (20) works in a child care centre (she got a cert 4 in something at TAFE).
Jessica (17 Nearly) does as many shifts as she can at KMart, loves money  and she's doing the same course through year 12 at school that Sharnee did.
Sounds like she's killing it WPT, congrats

| School and my daughter did not get along. She now has a couple of jobs and is doing an internship with a jeweller/designer one day a week unpaid. For her it's better than going to uni and she won't have a hecs debt. |

Cheers. Hope she's doing it for the right reasons. Her plan was to be in NSW for 2 or more years because that's where the main office is & where the national manager is, who sort of mentors her. At the same time, the employer had to fill a position in Vic & they can rely on her.
However, she lives close to the beach, lives in a good area & shares a flat with a good friend...

Had to look it up. A few definitions out there but I prefer "a dingus is NOT a stupid person, because a dingus is someone who can make you laugh by doing stupid THINGS"

Can a doofus be a dingus?
Can a dingo be a dingus?
Can a drongo be a dingus?
Mind you for a provincial boy Swoop is very up to date with urban lexicon.
I reckon he's a beard wearing, ponytail coiffed, tattooed barista from Brunswick pretending to be from the LaTrobe valley.
