And so this is Christmas, except for Labor workers

Well by now you know we didn’t do very well at this election game. Never mind, there’s always next time. We bet those Labor ministers are wishing they’d signed an AWA before they got elected. Mr Rudd is only giving them two days off over Christmas – even the old AWAs didn’t go that far in trashing entitlements. Trust us, we tried and failed when it came to a new AWA for the nephew. Took us to the Fair Go mob didn’t he, and we got snotted. So if those ALP ministers had been on the ball they’d have signed up before they got torn up, just to protect their basic entitlements.

Lucky for those of us in reseller land, the new leader of the losing team isn’t going to lie down and let the new government reinstate the unfair dismissal laws. Which we must say, hasn’t helped in our struggle to unfairly dismiss the staff around here. So we’re not fussed really. We’re pretty much screwed with lame staff either way, what with them all being related. And Uncle Tony is really scary sometimes. But we’re not sure why the opposition wants to oppose such laws. After all, Dr Nelson is highly likely to be in need of some protection against unfair dismissal himself within the next few months if you listen to the comments of the losing contenders. They’ll all be back.

But enough of this political nonsense, we can get back to running the shop for the next three years, notwithstanding that the ministers of the realm will all be working right through Christmas. As long as they don’t make it mandatory for the rest of us, we should have a good trading season this time. All the worry about interest rates is behind us now, so no impediment to charging up to the max on the fantastic plastic. Well, OK, there are more rate rises coming at us but we know about them and now we know it’s got nothing to do with the government, it’s alright not to worry. We just need to spend up now before the rate rise happens. Hang on, nephew reckons the logic’s wrong there.

Anyway, what would he know? His skateboard was depreciated right off the asset register a couple of years back, so if he was smart he’d have negotiated some salary sacrifice for a new one this year. Huh? It’s a legitimate form of transport for Generation Y. Well that’s what Uncle Tony’s accountant says and he usually makes suggestions nobody can refuse, mostly because nobody can understand them. Besides, the sooner Miss Julia gets her education revolution revolving the quicker we can start flogging laptops to the top brats. And soon after that it’ll be broadband bonanza time.

Everything is going to need upgrading once the punters experience the wonders of high speed broadband. Surely the Three Amigos can’t be wrong? And we’ll be getting plenty of WiFi from that OPEL mob, too. Talk about a productivity boost! Well, it will be if it gets the nephew out of the back room and onto the floor to sell some kit.

Gotta go! Customers waiting!

and christmas except for is labor so strategy this workers
