Laundry, made more waffles, more laundry, tidied up a bit. Gotta nip out and grab some shopping. Lament the loss of wages from not working today (cries in casual worker whose boss would rather shut the business than pay anyone extra for working) Nothing major.
That sucks. I feel like the public holidays outside of the major religious ones are paid days off for office workers.
A lot needs to be done here around the treatment of casual workers. The 25% loading isn't enough and it has shown not to be an incentive for employers to move people across to part or full time
