electricians TA here, money isnt too bad, boss is a good enough bloke, and theres the side benefit that if i want, i can claim my overtime on various other stuff (like, aircon for my bedroom, company pays for it, and i just pay it off as the overtime rolls in.......) otherwise i get taxed to hell and back.....

*meh* it pays the bills i guess

lol...now that would make work more fun!! The wheelstands are easy if you have the bucket high and no load, no can do wheelie's, endo's, and make it do piroettes (spelling?) once you get used to it. But, after you spend a few years in it you geat really sick of riding the bumps all day and swallowing a yardfull of dust which you cant escape...even with the enclosed cabin. Which is one of the reason's i'm getting out of it and getting the other blokes to drive it!

Leigh, dont have any footage of my ute but next time out at calder i'll try to! Would be great to have a few vids up on site of member's quick runs

I'm Head Systems Operator for Woolworths Burwood.
I hate it. 6am-4pm 5 days, including every second weekend.

I recently applied for a job elsewhere so we'll see what happens with that.

I am in the process of being fired right now... but i used to work at warner bros studio store in pacific fair and surfers paradise. The big boss is a ****er. Dont ever shop at warner bros studio stores or billy baxters are my recommendations, they rip you off. Plus they are ripping there stuff off too! We dont get penalty rates... because we supposedly get paid more than the award, but i dont know one person in retail who is either getting the same wage or more, plus penalty rates!
I also used to do suit character work at the pacific fair store! I was bugs bunny. People could see that bugs seemed to have boobs though lol. I got poked regularly by guys that could see this!! And people had a thing for stroking my tail! :S lol. Fun though. I want to go work in a theme park doing suit character work. Its a hot job but its fun! Your getting paid to muck around, be silly and hug people! Love it lol.
Anyway, they are now without there best bugs bunny... and i finally can get my sanity back cause the crap that happens at those stores just drives me mad!!
