Comments on: A Compliment? http://www.mattglover.com/wordpress/wordpress/2007/06/27/a-compliment/ Thoughts from Australian cartoonist and pastor, Matt Glover Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:08:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Paul http://www.mattglover.com/wordpress/wordpress/2007/06/27/a-compliment/#comment-17124 Paul Fri, 06 Jul 2007 05:33:43 +0000 http://www.mattglover.com/wordpress/wordpress/2007/06/27/a-compliment/#comment-17124 Australia Post and WWC forms don't mix. I've just come back from a week at a kids camp and the majority of the leaders all got shafted on ridiculous technicalities related to one of the forms of ID that they provided. One of our guys got rejected because he'd detached the useless bit of his car rego form with the perforated line and thrown it away. Another leader got told that a probationary drivers licence wasn't an Australian Drivers Licence. Upon questioning this they were told that they could use it but could only have 25 points instead of 40 points. We've since checked up and that's a complete joke. I personally got dismissed the first time because my last superannuation statement (sent out every six months) had the address I lived at 6 months ago on it (which I had disclosed in the application) instead of my current address. They basically look for any reason they can find to send you packing. Be prepared. P.S. Matt - glad to see you left it to the last minute like the rest of us. :P Australia Post and WWC forms don’t mix.

Those that knew me previously with hair told me I looked better without it. Then I grew hair. And they told me I looked better with hair. Go figure!
