The Wasteland 2011 Edition

Was it agreed to that the trial shift would be paid? Some aren't, and just rocking up to it is taken as an agreement.

Kitchen work can be pretty hectic, long periods without breaks, especially over the holidays isn't exactly abnormal.

As for your tendon giving you shit... Should've figured that a job requiring you to be on your feet the whole shift would be unpleasant.

Yeah my missus first shift (in hospitality) was also unpaid. From it however she got a good job, with decent bosses and some great co-workers. If you think being a dishy is hard, don't bother trying a trade

Pierre - mate I completely understand regarding blistering knee pain!!!!

Feel for you bud. Rest up, if it swells up with fluid get some washing soda crystals from your local supermarket (coles/woolies/Iga) wrap a small amount in a tea towel you wont use again and leave it wrapped around the knee overnight. It'll draw out excess fluid and go rock hard by morning, empty, wash, and do again until swelling subsides.

I started a gym membership last week for the 1st time in many many years - went tuesday, thurs & saturday, then again today. Not much I can do without kneecaps for the legs, limited to calf raises / hamstring curls and seated leg press (half motion). The seated press is really working my patella tendons and Ive been pulling up pretty well. Aiming to get the tendons strong, bust out some calf & hammy muscles, along with upper body conditioning. 6'8" 114kg & aiming to get down under 110kg whilst loosing midrift 'padding' but gaining overall size and strength.

Moving house next wednesday, heading to christie downs near the train station. Not too sure of the area but need to be there for daily transport to the city for Uni over the next 4yrs. Better to spend 50mins studying while travelling than to drive, park etc in city traffic.
