Credit where credit is due, a month or so ago I heard a report on Today Tonight about a Telstra call centre employee committing suicide.  So I wrote to them and said I completely understand and that I had been diciplined by my former employer because I had logged into my phone a couple of minutes early or late each day, leading me to be over an hour late in a month and an hour was a lot of time.  Normally I hate that show and make issues out of perfectly normal things, but for once they hit the nail on the head.

Yet another Telstra employee has committed suicide and I was called to be interviewed for the story, which I agreed to but fortunatly did not have to mention my employers name (hey I got promoted, still need references and wouldn't mind consulting for them, but the work environment leaves lots to be desired).

I was asked to be interviewed today, which is a bit inconvenient as I kind of had a big weekend, slept in and didn't do as much grooming as usual.  In fact I almost didn't bother with the make up.  But the interview was quite good, I don't think I said anything I'll regret although they did harp on about timed toilet breaks and the like quite a bit.  They did however get some shots afterwards of me walking arround and reading the paper, which felt a bit corny.  And I hope they leave them out as body shots are not going to be the most flattering things as far as I'm concerned...  oh well.
