...and so it begins. Five hours into a three week stint on-call and the phones already going off. It could be a long week. :frown:

If I hear the sentences "we are getting very less" and "please do the needful" once more, there is small section of the sub-continent that is going to get a swift lesson in basic Anglo-Saxon. :curse: :curse::banghead:

At least I'm only dealing with Aussies tonight :rofl: Though I did start the shift with an IT guy on the phone earlier asking me to check if "the needful document was now in a gettable place"...having worked out what/where/how and told him it was fine he then said he was going on holiday...... you can only imagine how relieved I was to hear it!

Trouble is I hardly ever deal with Aussies.. its nearly always the Indian 'support', or Czechs, or Poles, or Hungarians, or Danes, or Russians or somebody else from the League of Bloody Nations.

I shouldn't complain really as they are all at least trying to speak English. My language skills extend as far as being able to order beer in 14 different languages. :D

Do Aussie companies ever dish out xmas bonuses?

Pretty standard in the UK even if its only a couple of hundred quid or so - not a sniff of one here :(
I worked for a bank and got a few grand (performance linked though) then moved to a smaller place and got a $200 Myer voucher ... was quite happy with both :)

This year my bonus is I don't answer to a twot in a suit.

Funny innit? The minutest change of windspeed turns a 'low' into a panicfest ... I had to endure Carols By Candlelight tonight so don't think you are the only one in turmoil ...
