What's surprising that Dingus is a word?
What's surprising is I just had an excellent online experience with a Microsoft tech. Long story short I couldn't activate the version of Office I bought on my new PC cos i'd already used the product key 3 times. After a bit of explanation on line, job done, office activated.

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). |
practical girl, good on her.
Watch out, before you know it she'll be voting Liberal.

 Nah, she's sensible.
She has a huge job to turn Vic around though

haven't seen it Dave, haven't watched a Disney animated movie since the kids were young. I don't mind them generally, might have to borrow the grandson as an excuse to watch it.
