A little off topic, but I hope we find the lost episodes of that cartoon. I know for one of the episodes I think we have a German dub, but I want all the episodes in glorious Australian English.
what is it actually ? I don’t recognize it
Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown
Don’t risk your lives or limbs for the bosses, people
yhea, risk the boss’s lives and limbs instead. bosses are replaceable
Cringe. This only benefits the wealthy and forces the expectation of hurting yourself for your job.
sometimes we do cringe things. one time I got payed extra to be very very cringe, but I know better now
I’m paid by the hour, why would I want to do something in half the time?
At my age now, I completely agree. Back in my teens I was young, dumb, and it was fun. Looking back, every task was made so tedious that it felt like it encouraged this kind of behavior. It could have just been that I had a cocktail of undiagnosed mental health issues though.
So you can take a half hour smoke break and the work is still done in a reasonable amount of time
don’t break your body for them. they don’t care about you and will not help when you need it.

So I can move the fuck on.
Moving on doesn’t pay any extra
Depends on the job I guess. I definitely get extra because I am fast.
Just cuz you only have half your fingers to keep count with doesn’t mean you did it in half the time. You just ran out of numbers.
“Oh, this is dangerous. If this goes wrong my spine is going to crush like a tinkertoy. … … Well… shit. There’s no other way to do it really. Okay, I hope it goes okay.”
Turned out fine. In retrospect, I was young and dumb. I worked with some guys who’d gotten fucked up, just a couple, usually they gave them work in the office if they wanted it since their bodies didn’t work right anymore. OSHA’s a good thing.
yep.
See what I do is that I become trustworthy because I end up knowing stuff that the bosses need, so when they need to test new stuff they send me to do it… so I set the pace. Yup, that totally takes an hour to do. What? 15 minutes? Sure, THAT one took 15 minutes, but you see, over here, you can see that this thing happened, and you also have to factor this and that, so really, doing it in under an hour isn’t really possible…
I sleep on the job because I’m hourly.
My boss doesn’t let me do things on my own anymore because Im stupidily stubborn…I moved a pallet of furniture 3x my weight with a hand truck across campus and my boss is still stumped on how, apparently “fulcrum” and “gravity” was not an adequate answer
Edit: My coworkers and boss are confused why I am the most knowledgeable on saftey, proper protocols and the consequences of not following them yet the most willing to yolo everything.
You have to understand the rules to properly bend them.
Funnily enough, I say the same thing about art.
exactly!
the most knowledgeable on saftey
I wouldn’t like to see the least nolijjuble.
