IT is a great industry for work and salary especially in Canberra, it has been great for me. Yes, most of us would love to be passionate about what they do (a few are lucky to be paid to do what we are passionate about but most aren't). I mean who wouldn't want to be a highly paid professional racing driver or some other highly paid sports star with the associated benifits??? Unfortunately the hard reality is that most of us will never achieve this in our chosen profession. The important thing is that we get some job satisfaction and enough $$$'s to be able to live a quality life and don't forget the friends we make along the way.

BTW I am a IT systems engineer.

Next career. Maybe something in the Financial Services sector. Dream job? some highly paid sports star with heaps of beautiful groupies woman chasing me :domokun:

I'm an IT Project Officer for Dept. Industry, Tourism & Resources.

In my position I've got to be whatever they need me to be regarding IT. My main work centers around web design & development with a fair bit of database design as well, and Access/VB(A) programming.

I co-manage the website for the Australian Building Codes Board (The current site is prehistoric and sucks arse, hence we're making a new one at the moment).

The rest of my stuff is IT equipment work, specialist hardware/software setup for our branch that isn't covered by the department's service desk.

I'm a jack of all trades if you will.

I like my job because of the opportunities that I'm given, I get to do training whenever I ask for it (more or less) and I work in a pretty good team.

I suppose the downside (if you could call it that) is that because I'm a pube I won't get the $$$ that working in the private industry will get me but the security of a permanent public service position is something I really like.

And I'm about to start doing a bit of website/database work on the side as well.

I sell rock cocaine to school kids that own computers, and who use the "wikipedia, flickr and myspace"

Does that count?

jokes, im a java programmer who sips Pepsi Max, munching on caffeine tabs, sitting in front of 4 24" LCD monitors, backed by $30k worth of server hardware, and hack satellites in my spare time

jokes, im the creator of spam and want your ebay account details

Serious jokes, im a TSO geek, that does a little bit of everything in the small to medium business i work with.

I don't really care what i do, i just wanna make the $$ to pay for my cars, friends and fun...

(this has been written while jaded and looking for another job)

Edited by GeeTR
I scan products in front of a red laser and a currency pops up in front of me. I repeat this step until completion.

I'd rather be passionate about something and following whatever that may be.

haha.. I'm not really a check out chick

I work in Medicare and am an IT Business Analyst.. monitoring and recording stats and figures about pharmacy stuff.. not all that great.. but PJ's is right across the road!

I'm an IT Project Officer

Lol, I didn't realise you were a IT project officer. You know you guys probably create more work problems for others HAHAHA(not for me, some other IT Project teams do that).

Me, I'm the one who sits on the phone pretending to know these new projects, and try to fix them.

Help desk team leader.

for a government organization that owns a private TV network.

I have 2 staff and i made them both buy turbo skylines (really)

hehe.

Would that be at Transact? hmmm Transact aren't actually gov though... where you at?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
