Five Things
Juha has tagged me with the five things meme, which should be things you probably don’t know about me, and probably didn’t want to know 
1) I don’t like oysters. I love almost all seafood and will happily sacrifice souls of friends for good scallops and mussels, but for some reason oysters just are not my thing.
2) I had never travelled to the US before 2004, and never to the UK before 2005.
3) I still miss my best friend from Island Bay School, Graeme McKenzie, and every couple of years try and track him down – to no success.
4) Around 85% of my girlfriends have been blonde
5) My first regular job was after school in the fourth form at Woolworths. I earnt $1.99 an hour cleaning bins and working on checkouts.
I tag Clint Heine, M and M, Pamziewamzie, Paula and Welly Girl.

And I bet you were on the minimum wage when you were at Woolworths. But you worked hard and got some training and are not on the minimum wage now. Ross Wilson thinks the 100,000 on the minimum wage stay that way for ever. And if the Labour Party had their way that would be the case, but topped up with welfare payments to address some “special” need.

I assume you have a New Zaland version of friends re-united and you’ve tried to trace your old friend that way ?

tim b – I’d be very surprised if NZ has ever had a minimum wage for 14 year-olds…

TB: yes, how dare this government subsidise Woolworth’s minimum wages by family support payments to their workers. Those workers should be on starvation wages since we can’t legally crack the whip anymore. See how quick they will all become successful National Party members with a blog! And piss on the rest of the poor.

I was well under the minimum wage but that was fine. The major benefits I got from the job was experience and good work ethic, not the pocket money I earnt from it.

If a person is on starvation wages in NZ then they are dumb and lazy and too bad I say espcially the lazy. The point is most people strive to do better by working hard, getting more training and taking on more responsibility. That is evidenced by a mere 100,000 on the minimum wage – 10% of the workforce. But the Labour Partry does not accept that system – it provides people with welfare entitlements that have nothing to do with their worth as a worker.

It’s quite clever and uses goggle ‘vanity searches’ (when you google yourself) to tell you that people are looking for you.
nifty.
