08:26:33 <JarZ> hmmm so tempting
09:29:01 <damian> what the
09:29:27 <damian> SUPERNOVA!
09:29:45 <damian> i hate being sick when it makes your ears go weird, you can't listen to music because it all sounds slightly off key
09:36:11 <Timegrinder> I hate that too
09:36:43 <damian> you're just a hater
09:37:06 <Timegrinder> I hate you too
09:37:17 <damian> see
09:40:36 <damian> yeah, she was so pretty she made charleze theron look like a big, fat, slobbering pig!
09:49:49 <JarZ> you might know this one, andy
09:49:56 <JarZ> where can i get a black light bulb? :\
09:50:03 <Timegrinder> depends on the type
09:50:16 <Timegrinder> I haven't found them available in screw in, but dick smith sell BC ones
09:50:29 <Timegrinder> and it's actually pretty weak
09:50:31 <JarZ> yeah just need a bc one
09:51:33 <JarZ> weak? :(
09:52:16 <Timegrinder> eg, it doesn't make shit glow properly
09:52:26 <Timegrinder> the only ones I've found that are really any good at that are the tube ones
09:52:44 <Timegrinder> also doesn't help I haven't found a high wattage bulb one
09:52:45 <JarZ> lame
09:52:59 <Timegrinder> I think the one I've got is only 40w
09:53:29 <Timegrinder> which was the only one available from dick smith
09:53:32 <Timegrinder> jaycar should have much better ones
09:56:18 <JarZ> 75w from dse $14
09:56:19 <JarZ> not bad

13:25:19 <ash_> mwahaha
13:39:46 <damian> thats the obvious!
13:40:07 <damian> for my department it takes ~45mins to do ordering, not twelve hours!
13:54:02 <Carson> damo, fix nad
13:54:08 <Carson> Authorization Required

14:00:30 <Carson> my script, which stores the password is also failing
14:00:47 <damian> hrm
14:00:48 <damian> mysql is broked
19:14:02 <JarZ> damian; the actual order takes about 4 hours, if you don't count my breaks and all the other work..
19:14:27 <JarZ> it's the biggest store in the state ;P
19:48:00 <damian> which store are you in?
19:51:01 <JarZ> west lakes
19:51:56 <damian> ahh
20:05:44 <JarZ> almost $1mil of sales a week
20:12:08 <damian> fair effort
20:12:17 <damian> we sit on about $500,000 a week
20:12:34 <damian> but that's department vs. supermarket :P
20:12:58 <damian> i completely blitzed my budget for yesterday, so excited!
20:13:09 <damian> i've only made budget once since i've been at this store (just under a month)
20:13:46 <damian> yesterday i made 160% sales, woo
20:13:57 <damian> as apposed to my usual 80% :(
20:16:45 <JarZ> k!
20:17:01 <JarZ> ...what do you do these days, exactly? :P
20:17:03 <damian> IT'S EXCITING!
20:17:12 <damian> mainly just sitting around talking
20:17:44 <JarZ> so what's your actual job? :P
20:18:03 <damian> but job title is business manager of home, which is motoring, hardware, tools, bathroom accessories, pets, gardening, light/power, home storage, small appliances, kitchenware, haberdashery, manchester
20:18:07 <damian> i think that's all of them :P
20:18:12 <damian> i'm the head honcho of the department
20:18:35 <JarZ> k
20:18:53 <damian> yeah, pretty boring stuff!
20:18:54 <JarZ> so basically the department store version of grocery manager?
20:19:07 <damian> yeah, i guess
20:19:22 <JarZ> k!
20:19:27 <damian> make sure ordering is up-to-date and we have everything, ensure all of the sides have the stock, the right stock, the right prices, etc. etc.
20:19:38 <JarZ> ah
20:20:00 <damian> it's basically everything that can/will be done in the department apart from the actual filling of stock
20:20:06 <JarZ> i see
20:20:08 <damian> i have a little biatch to do that fo rme on nights :P
20:20:16 <JarZ> see that'd be so much easier with fewer items, and lower sales per item :\
20:20:35 <JarZ> on a slow night i'll order 2000 cartons
20:20:49 <damian> yeah, your volume would be so much greater than ours
20:20:56 <JarZ> and minus another 1200 cartons
20:21:01 <damian> we don't really take into note cartons of stock, just dollar value
20:21:26 <damian> my orders generally hang around ~$6,000 a day, unless it's a friday (after brochure) .. and it rockets
20:21:34 <JarZ> wow
20:21:55 <JarZ> grocery alone does $60-100,000 a day..
20:21:58 <JarZ> so i'm ordering around that much
20:22:01 <damian> yeah
20:22:21 <damian> i have the itsy bitsy department now, haha
20:22:27 <damian> i'm half the sales of the next up on the ladder
20:23:36 <JarZ> ah
20:24:00 <JarZ> meanwhile
20:24:12 <JarZ> the state manager, regional manager, etc came into the store yesterday
20:24:49 <JarZ> in short, my ordering levels are now being used as a benchmark for the state
20:24:56 <JarZ> ...and i've been doing this job for like, 3? 4? weeks
20:25:06 <damian> haha, not bad
20:26:27 <damian> i got royally screwed when i moved to where i am now. the store manager explained to me that the department was running 100% efficient and all i had to do was keep up the standards
20:26:39 <damian> i get there, and he gives me almost 200 points of things i have to fix
20:27:04 <damian> from a couple of shelf labels missing, to remanaging an entire side because it doesn't fit every other store, to getting rid of two year old stock that should have been dealt with two years ago
20:27:08 <damian> lying little bastard!
20:27:16 <JarZ> awesome!
20:27:28 <JarZ> k time to go to work
20:27:31 <damian> have fun
20:27:33 <JarZ> was meant to start in 3 minutes..
20:27:34 <JarZ> oops
20:27:49 <damian> hahah
20:27:59 <JarZ> it's a half hour drive, too :\
20:28:02 <damian> you're management, starting times don't matter.. it gets evened out by the overtime
20:28:04 <damian> are you salary?
20:28:17 <JarZ> nope
20:28:21 <damian> fair, lucky bastard
20:28:34 <JarZ> i also don't count as management
20:28:52 <damian> interesting
20:28:57 <JarZ> ...and i'm still a casual, technically. so my hours don't really matter ;P
20:29:05 <damian> ahah
20:29:36 <JarZ> haven't been moved to full time rates although i'm doing full time hours
20:29:46 <JarZ> because they're all lazy pricks in mangement
20:29:47 <JarZ> *shrug*
20:29:49 <JarZ> *work*
20:29:55 <damian> good thing for you
20:29:56 <damian> have fun
