Ahem. They sometimes need to call us burger-flippers because half the time the no-hoper/loser types don't show up to their shifts, so we get drafted in to take over. I wonder how they manage to keep their jobs.

I must have no life here - I carefully monitor my 1GB/month usage, and only rarely download big files (eg. MySQL -- 12 MBs!!). I don't want to have to pay $5 per extra megabyte of usage.
Pity me. Hate Telstra (Australian ISP/Phone Company, also known as _the_ monopoly).:-D
