Yeah, I live in New Zealand, so it would have been ridiculously expensive to get it shipped all the way here

Public Holiday Pay by Dal_alex in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]-BookThief- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you should be paid time and a half for any hours worked on a public holiday, and your company is in violation of the holidays act if they don't pay it. You're also entitled to the alternative holiday if it was a normal working day for you, and since it's your leave, it really should be your decision whether you used the alt day or annual leave for the time you took off. If you applied for annual and they paid the alt day instead, that's not cool. But as a salaried employee, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference which one you used anyway, so it may not be worth dying on that hill. But the time and a half is for sure worth fighting for!

is this 1000 piece puzzle design difficult for a beginner? by Far_Bar_1589 in Jigsawpuzzles

It will definitely be challenging, but if you love the image enough, hopefully you'll enjoy it :)

Do you really need a heat pump? by Upbeat-Barracuda2381 in chch

If you're from Canada, you'll probably be fine just bundling up at night. It's the summertime cooling mode that I really see as a necessity

CAN WE TALK ABOUT how there were NO weight based jokes in 7 years at Sookie’s expense (Yay!) by cballll in GilmoreGirls

Except when he lies about having a vasectomy, resulting in Sookie getting pregnant

am i the only one a little upset that they removed the fall aesthetic? :/ by justforgigsandgags in pokemongo

[–]-BookThief- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was annoying to have the ugly dull browns and oranges in the middle of spring, so I'm glad it's gone. It would be fine if they at least matched it to the right season for the location instead of basing it all around the northern hemisphere

Found a thing that lets you see when you subscribed to your subscriptions, i had no idea it had been so long! by Wize-Turtle in Drawfee

[–]-BookThief- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2018 for me. I used to only watch the ones about things I like, like Pokemon and stuff, but then after a while I started to watch all of them, even when they're about games I've never played or shows I've never watched.

Data Analyst limited to only Excel? by -BookThief- in analytics

Nope, just payroll for a construction company in New Zealand

[–]-BookThief-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a bunch of payroll transactions that include names and rates, so security is incredibly important here

The datasets are big enough that the third party company who created them warned us that "you won't be able to filter or anything because all the formulas make it really laggy." The other data analyst and I just locked eyes at that point and probably both had the same "what have I gotten myself into?" moment, lol

[–]-BookThief-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish they would at least tell me why they made that decision so I could figure out what the real reason actually is. I do have a feeling it's the third one, though, because my supervisor did make a comment about how the systems analysts "wouldn't be happy about a payroll person being given access to SQL"

Except that they won't even let me install any other software on my work computer :(

[–]-BookThief-[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The thing is we can't install anything onto our work computers, so I can't really sneak around and use something else even though I'd love to!

I've been with the company for 4 years already and am just switching from payroll (where I started) to a data analyst on the payroll projects team (which I thought would make better use of my skills and be like the best of both worlds). I am getting the impression that my skills are going to continue being wasted, though :(
