Hey guys,

I'm sick of my maccas job, and I need something different. After working for such a big company for so long, I want to find a job at a small place where they will treat me like a person, and not a number.

I can work from 5-5:30 (earlier if I dont need to have a shower before hand, I'm an apprentice mechanic) to about 9:30-10 Sunday-Thursday, 5-5:30 to when ever on Friday, and all day saturday.

Any ideas guys? I REALLY need a new casual job!!

Rhys

try serching catering companys in perth......... most are very understaffed and offer work on sundays which pays usually 20+ an hr and alot will do it in cash....which means no tax man ripping ya off which= more $ for the line.......

^ +1 for dodgy asian style cash jobs too...

seriously man look into retail but the thing is they don't offer after hour kinda shifts, umm... heard like night shift guys get alright money at like COLES/KMART and those alike, give them a shot...

my mates used to work late nights at KMART in year 11/12... bought their first cars with that cash

haha like the dodgy asian idea as well :P

n bit off topic but isn't that a uras kit on pottsy's 34 andrew??

rhys try askin woolies? i heard they pay like 17 an hr n some even said they get 20 an hr :(

but if u wanna stand there all day hearin the beep why not?

lol, are you trying to shut down my ego Leo?

he has a nice URAS kit that's painted with no scratches...

my car is going to AutoSalon next year, hope so anyway... wait and see...

and by they way Rhys, i have HEAPS of family that have work for you, the pay probably isn't as good as Maccas though and not as close as it is to your house...

and the work won't require for you to have a shower beforehand... might be preferred though, let me know if you're interested anyway

ANDREW!!! STOP WHORING UP MY THREAD!!! :P

Leo, dont your not helping either...

Kylie, I looking into that job, but it looks like its mainly during the day? Thanks anyway.

Andrew, any more details? Like I said, I'd prefer to work in a small place.

I have 2 jobs atm, my apprentiship is at a small workshop, and maccas. I get treated MUCH better at the small shop, then the larger money making business.

Cheers for the replies guys, I'll look into it

i used to work at the iga distribution ware house (same as the coles job kylie posted)

its good pay but boring a hell, basically you get given a forklift and a head set, and it tells you how many boxes of something to stack on a pallet

then you wrap it up in gladwrap and dump in in a truck

its a repetitive cycle that makes you go insane thats why they pay you well for it :P

"go to isle 23"

bay number 67 alpha

pick 3

bay number 128 charlie

pick 2

bay number 238 foxtrot

got to isle 27

bay number 147 kilo

pick 7

alllllll day

I work this job(the coles one), we don't have headsets, just labels... headsets are coming in at the new dc which Im not going to till septemberish.

There are different roles, what Karl described is what the pleb pickers do....

Like I said last time RHys, those rates are base rate, grocery has incentive on top.

Im doing Ok compared to other guys on the fork, but still get an extra $300 a week cause I do my job properly and don't bludge.

if your lucky enough to get the shifts you want i know that Bunnings pays very well about 2-4 bucks extra an hour than youd earn at any supermarket store ie coles. Also theyre open sundays obviously so you have more room for extra shifts if you want.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
