i worked as a team leader in a IT firm that deals with secure coms over the intarwebz. i wanted to go out with a bang... but i dont wanna burn my bridges so i can get a good reference :(

are those trains DRIFTING in ur display pic o.O?

well i threw in the towel today :(

have been in a dead end job for far too long.

gave notice today... and today is my last day :cool:

i am gonna be starting with Telstra on wednesday

horay for me !!! :P

Heh I know how you feel. I only recently started in my current job (4 weeks in now) and before that I was working at a dodgy computer sales/repair shop in Salisbury.... I was there 2 weeks and the boss's attitude was absolutely abysmal.... after he childishly berated one of the sales staff (who was doing a good job imho) I went to lunch and never went back. Took me 4 weeks to get any payment out of them, and even then they decided to try n make it hard by taxing me at 47%..

Happy now. I don't suffer fools, and nobody else should. Except perhaps Mr T, who thinks everyone is a fool.

There is always someone who can do a job better and for less money.

Everyone is replaceable.

Ha! Not me.

Did I mention I started the business for the Partners over 8 years ago? I've got a Bachelor of Business, Masters in Business, as well as MYOB teaching qualifications, qualifications in Accounting, qualifications in Drafting, and I have alot of experience in IT hardware/software installations and setting up of business networks.

Trust me, there is no one out there with the amount of muti-skilling I have. I cover all areas of the business, including IT, Bookkeeping, Drafting, Managerial Tasks, Information Systems, Marketing; except the planning consulting itself.

My salary is a 'little' higher than working at Maccas. :P

:(

hell yes, it is how all trains should travel

Depends on the industry. That door swings two ways. This bloke actually went thru 4-5 technicians a year due to his lack of people skills, that was (by the store managers estimate) at least 20 odd in the last 5 years that he had been working there (and the manager, sales people and technicians all hated working for the guy, problem being with kids on the way you cant just quit).. me, I haven't got that problem, so I was gone when I knew that it was a dead end job.... guy tried to threaten me on the phone when I told him I quit, and I just simply said that any threats would only convince me that I was making the right move. People don't have to put up with bullying in the workplace, of any sort. People like that generally blame the worker, when in actual fact they really need to work on their own mismanagement/people issues.

yeah i will be in the pirie st building, think im on the 10th or 11th floor... pretty sure that is where Bigpond is

too right, made my manager cry when i handed her my resignation (not on purpouse... she just burst into tears) bit tough to go tho... made some good friends here

Welcome to Telstra :)

I am on 5 floor - I.P. solution

Tell that to my boss who has been searching for a suitable Power System Protection engineer for 18+ months..... Its fair to say I'm becoming part of a very rare breed indeed :)

True.

There are people out there in specialist jobs or multi-skilled jobs, who just can't be easily replaced if at all.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
