Brazil is much over rated.

and dangerous...

and a bloody bloody long flight(s)

for north brazil will be:

Melb -> syd

Syd -> santiago chile

santiago -> brasilia

brasilia -> mine..

count on 2 days at least.

ouch, the adventure sounds fun, but it will probably wear off after a couple of months..

considering Ill be living on the mine site, its not like I can do tourist things on the weekend.

doesn't 28 on mean you don't have a weekend anyway

lol they're letting you apply the new policy proactively?

I lose 2 of the 12 weeks that I have already used up as secondary carers leave

it is to be applied once the mother's leave has finished, so sept/oct/nov

doesn't 28 on mean you don't have a weekend anyway

yeah what I meant is that I don't have any time to experience the country so the appeal of the destination is mute.

The difference would be the commute time as pointed out.

yeah I got pinned @ ~135 in a 100 on the way back from the first buller cruise and he dropped it down to 19 over or something so I wouldn't lose my license.

It was just an overtake move :/

Country cops FTW!

Fk country cops

Whenever I get pulled over by them they make a big thing about me being from the "city". We don't take kindly to people like you fkin up our peaceful little town blah blah

How dare I cross over double lines to park at 2am with no one in sight

FARKEN LOL

1st day back at work after 8 weeks off paid and a new policy is introduced that new dad's get 12 weeks paid.

looks like i'll be having more time at home!!!

Heard about this on Q and A lastnight...which was a disgusting feminist fest by the way...featuring an all female panel to make a point about female CEOs. Could have played a drinking game with the irrational contradictions that flowed through. Some of these idiots actually believe that females have a glass ceiling in industries where more managers are men...but in industries where there are more females in management, that's just because it's a "female dominant industry". I wanted to shove Lego bricks down their throats.

Anyway, I went off on a bit of a tangent there. Lucky you, Hamish.

Do employers HAVE to pay extra for working a public holiday (yesterday?) mrs worked it and now shes being told shes just getting paid normal rates.. (a casual if that makes any difference)

I was under the impression that employers had to at least pay time and a half??

Dunno about that, but they can't force someone to work on a public holiday

I thought organisations did it because it was hard to get casuals to work on them with normal rates

depending on your contract they can.

When I was help desk at telstra you could not say didn't want to work a public holiday, they would laugh at you. the helpdesk must go on.

prob same for nursing and such.

yeah, thing is they asked if anyone wanted to work it so it wasn't 'forced'

nek minit not paying any extra (She does like insurance claim stuff for a large insurance company)

I am required to work all public holidays. China doesn't stop because its Easter/Christmas.

No additional pay as its part of the contract.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
