Well if you read what I said you would realize it is because they don't get paid enough to care...

If I worked at 50% capacity and just didn't are about my quality of work, I'd:

a) Get fired for someone who did do a good job.

or

b) Never get a payrise to the level I wanted, because its clear I don't give a shit about quality of work and that reflects badly on me as an employee.

or

c) Not get fired, and slowly put the company out of business.

Usually those studying engineering

Its not just academic scores, its real world and people skllls they also seem to lack

Too many engineers in a service-driven country. Keep getting asked for job vacancies from every engineer coming out of uni.

Haha true that, it's like in those years they study they somehow forget to communicate with other human beings.

Science is another one, pretty hard to actually get a job in research or something similar I would imagine?

I would LOVE to see you on one of the cable pulls we do on a regular basis.

The heat off rule seems to be one of the go to things for you anti union guys, but you don't seem to mention that we have to wear full length clothing, as well as gloves hard hat and glasses, covering pretty much every area that heat escapes your body... How often does it hit 35 before 3pm anyway? It's a very rare occurrence, which means those days where it's 34.9 for most of the afternoon, we sweat it out in the heat.

Rained off rule is even rarer. I'm yet to be rained off a job in almost 4 years.

We pay for our RDOs so another great point there...

Coz our job is guaranteed yeah... People get sacked in our industry on a regular basis. But I'm sure the media has told you the union protects us against that..

I wear a suit even when it's 40c (like a boss) & get rained on regularly as do many other workers and as for rdos who doesn't work more hours than they get paid for? Ain't no rdos for them though just called keeping your job for us unprotected working class citizens.

Me on a cable pull? Whatever that is hell to the no these pen pusher hands don't even refill the stapler :D

As predicted, fat lazy sales lady...sat there on her phone playing candy cruch or some shit while I walked 130 boxes up the driveway 2 at a time...well I did 2 at a time till my wrist got sore then did 1 at a time..

Honestly people wonder why they get fat...

Hopefully the tendonitis doesn't flair up again and put me off work and back on the rock n roll, I would hate to sit here feeling guilty that I cant slave boxes around while you all complain that you have to support people on welfare..

See I know how good i have it now.

growing up working on the farm, full boilersuit, and gum boots, working outdoors no matter the conditions.

and when I started getting paid a grand total of 3$ an hour.. (dat family business)

no unions 7 days a week work no sick days and low pay..

all so coles can sell milk for 1$ a liter.

so I'll enjoy my international travel, secure hourly rate and climate controlled conditions thank you very much

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
