Was it agreed to that the trial shift would be paid? Some aren't, and just rocking up to it is taken as an agreement.

Kitchen work can be pretty hectic, long periods without breaks, especially over the holidays isn't exactly abnormal.

As for your tendon giving you shit... Should've figured that a job requiring you to be on your feet the whole shift would be unpleasant.

Yeah my missus first shift (in hospitality) was also unpaid. From it however she got a good job, with decent bosses and some great co-workers. If you think being a dishy is hard, don't bother trying a trade :P

Pierre - mate I completely understand regarding blistering knee pain!!!!

Feel for you bud. Rest up, if it swells up with fluid get some washing soda crystals from your local supermarket (coles/woolies/Iga) wrap a small amount in a tea towel you wont use again and leave it wrapped around the knee overnight. It'll draw out excess fluid and go rock hard by morning, empty, wash, and do again until swelling subsides.

I started a gym membership last week for the 1st time in many many years - went tuesday, thurs & saturday, then again today. Not much I can do without kneecaps for the legs, limited to calf raises / hamstring curls and seated leg press (half motion). The seated press is really working my patella tendons and Ive been pulling up pretty well. Aiming to get the tendons strong, bust out some calf & hammy muscles, along with upper body conditioning. 6'8" 114kg & aiming to get down under 110kg whilst loosing midrift 'padding' but gaining overall size and strength.

Moving house next wednesday, heading to christie downs near the train station. Not too sure of the area but need to be there for daily transport to the city for Uni over the next 4yrs. Better to spend 50mins studying while travelling than to drive, park etc in city traffic.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
