My cousin is in a similar situation, already a registered nurse however shes been doing the Midwife upgrade course which entails having to do (x) amount of deliveries and they dont get paid for it. She only has 2 more to go thankfully, cause like you guys, her family could really deal with the extra cash (or paid work instead of unpaid work in other words)

Pretty rough really, hardly a surprise we don't have more nurses. What dept does Tracy work in at WCH ? Thats where my cousin is based...

-D

Yeah the last 6 weeks have been BS as far as finances are concerned. How the fark does TAFE expect people to work for free for 6 weeks?

Tracy works in the Rodgerson Theatres (Emergency Dept).

;)

^^^ BAH - try your missus having a baby and having a total of 1.5 YEARS off - plus copping around $5k worth of expenses in tests, ultrasounds, delivery, hospital stay on top etc etc. AND try and service my mortgage on one wage ....

Well thats what I was saving my Long Service Leave up for. So I could take time off work (paid) and use a combination of time off and LSL paid out, to finance having a baby. Unfortunately, thats not happening for us. Tried IVF and it just so expensive. With the wedding coming up and Tracy not being paid for working those 6 weeks ... I've given up on the baby thing now. I'll be using my LSL now to go to the IOMTT next year. 17 weeks worth of paid time off ... woohoo!

Got a Staff Review meeting with the bosses this week. Will be asking for a bigger bonus and/or part payout on the LSL so we can get back on our feet quicker.

Hey, thanks for your moral support at the 'wrecking yard' the other day too Jenna ;)

Heh - I wasn't much good for anything but standing around and offering a tool here or asking questions there... It was still an interesting day to watch you guys working on stuff. If I learn something from it, I'm happy.

I love working on cars (like a lot of IT people, I've found), and I read a lot on doing things - but I have little confidence in my knowledge, so I try and get somebody experienced to guide me when I'm unsure. I also prefer to tackle things I'm familiar with - general servicing isn't an issue (fuel filter, oil filter, oil change, etc - did a complete service on my N14 SSS recently which involved a changing of the timing chain tensioner - but, I got in help on that one :)). Either way, a snapped accelerator pedal was not something I felt comfortable with - one of those things that if you attempt to fix, and can't - you can't drive the car anywhere to get it fixed. Thankfully it was RubyRS4 to the rescue :bunny:

Ruby - did you have any luck recovering your extension lead today?

Anyway, it was good to actually meet some people from the forums and put faces to names ... Hell, I am an SAU:SA member ... Maybe I should drop down to villis on a Friday ...

Thats where I ended up Friday night aswell lol

lol! its quite the shithole hey

i was meant to go there but i ended up playing poker and winning :)

ahh good to hear!

not like that other bet you made at the bar earlier with Jack though - he's a freak! I lost it after watching him skoll that big pint of guiness in 2 seconds...

I've ended my night at Strats way too much.

I was there at 6:30am the other week... it's so awkward when you walk in and you find half your mates in there, too haha!

My mate got kicked out after touching one of the strippers. The best part? My mate is a girl! She's a crazy one.

But Strats is feral. I was playing pool against 2 strippers there the other week - one had braces on still and looked about 14.

There was one girl dancing on the boardroom table next to us, on the outide she did look pretty cute but she was probably more thrashed out than a P platers R31.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
