Situation Vacant?
The underling is a nice bloke, usually. He could be the poster-boy for the Rural-hick Association (tall, skinny, redhead with no lower jaw), but he's a nice bloke. When he's here.
Trouble is, he's a bit keen on having a cold drink on a hot day. About six weeks ago he went to a funeral. He didn't come back for a week. Last Friday the local publican, who is a saint*, lent the underling a digital camera so that he could go to Collarenebri to take some photos of a bus he (the publican) was interested in buying.
The underling has not been sighted since, although there are umconfirmed reports of him wandering about Narrabri. No phone calls, nothing. While I am in favour of employing people with problems, this has gone on far enough. I am currently working about 90 to 110 hours a week to try and do his job as well as mine. Cut him loose, I say. Anybody want a job (casual - until about March?)
*The Publican is Net-Savvy and may well stumble across this page one day. I figure Brownie points are there for the taking.

what's the going rate for a tractor wrecker?
Can I bring the 4 cats? (I can keep them inside if I have my own quarters!)
Could do with some regular work till March. Christmas is gonna be a tight season this year.
What qualifications/requirements for the job?
hehe I'm really looking forward to the response to that question.
Rat,
rate is negotiable, depending on wrecking efficiency.
Hooch,
by all means bring the cats, there's only three working dogs and one pig dog within fifty metres of the quarters.
Main qualifications are a strong back, weak mind, strong liver and weak set of moral values.
hmmmm I only really qualify for two of the four... damn... never was any good at these tricky interview questions!
drat. my back has been screwed for years. it was fine when i was labouring, it wasn't until i started sitting at a computer that it went...
Adie,
O.K.,O.K.
Hooch,
I'm not going to ask which two.
Rat,
Bend your knees when you pick them up.
Dirk, slip the publican your web address. Should get you free grog and bar priority from thereonin. Plus forgiveness from his daughter !
Of course I'm extrapolating on this last point, possibly unfairly...JAFA
JAFA,
the local pub has the hardest working bar staff of any pub I've been in. You don't need priority. And the publican's daughters, although they are all very beautiful are about a generation too young to have to forgive an old bugger like me.
