I wake up tired every day. Haven't taken a sick day in about 12 months.

Who's the smart one?

Nick, we pay $80 a year for parking at Rach's uni if it makes you feel better

Bargo has a university?

I'm mature beyond my years

Anyway, repair shop said possibly powerchip issue on my phone, which is common... so they say.. anyway, $85 to fix, and if it doesn't work after that, no charge...

To be honest I am looking for a new job as this council traineeship was just a fill-in and were the first people to come back to me a little over a year ago for a job. I needed the money. I receive my certificate at the end of this year and have six months left full-time (no TAFE), which will take me to June.

 

I want to leave as soon as I receive my certificate. Although I lose my sickies and TAFE course payout, I feel that striving for a career is a much better option.

 

That being said, I see nothing wrong with taking the advantages of having such a position. I do A LOT more work than my colleagues do. No word of a lie. I'm surprised they can even pick up the shovel sometimes. I'd say about 75% of the guys I've worked with are lazy as and do the absolute minimum, and they get paid a lot more than I do. Another thing to put things into perspective, trainees are treated like rats. We get put anywhere they want and they expect us to do so much even without the required tickets and without following the proper WHS methods. For example, I was asked to drive a truck I did not have a license for and have been told to get into pipelines and drains without having a confined spaces ticket. Oh and to add to the list, we aren't guaranteed jobs at the end of the traineeship either. There's no incentive to do what I do, and to go to work every day and minimise on the sickies/annual leave.

 

Depending on who I'm working with at the time, I have never uttered a word. But if I am treated as badly as other trainees, there is no forking way I'm gonna take risks by doing any of the above and more if I am not ticketed or have the certification to do so.

Fuckt if I know.

But my mum never bought me shit when I didn't win on pass the parcel!

I guess my point is, before we start labelling the parent as a fuckstain or a moron, we should probably know more about the situation.

[Zac]

Outdoor jobs are great, because you get a good work out, not stuck in the office... benefits from my point of view...

[Liberty]

Oh of course. I've noticed it as well. Tan, a work out, nice perve, etc, but I honestly have never seen this as a career for me. May be a design position in the head office of course, but not out here with all these wanks.

 

It's just that the things I want to do are sorta hard to come by and it's mostly a waiting game. I've looked into alternative jobs and I'm even considering the army/navy/airforce to be honest.

I would get a motorbike, but not a scooter. Could they even do the 100km/h I need to on my commute?

Only suggested scooter because cheap. Some of the bigger (read: expensive) scooters will do 100 yep.

[Brett]

Nope!

Are you just being ingorant because GT or do you genuinely think what im saying is a load of shit? Because i could give a real scenario that could help explain my point. But if you dont actually give a fuck, i wont bother.

Parenting is dead set the hardest fucking thing you will ever do in your life. Youll always question if youre doing it right, and the shitty thing is, you have to wait 15 years or so to find out. And by that time its usually too late to change if your kids havent turned out to be the people you wanted them to be.

Hahaha. I love it when you take the GT seriously.

So Telstra didn't have ANY paperwork at all after all these hours I've spent.

 

I'm just going to buy that Nexus thing I reckon.

Galaxy S2... it isn't even rooted anymore..
