oh but they "need" an 18% payrise

Good thing I have the pre-requisites to become one (year 10) according to metro site

Seriously though at what point do you just take up a boring as batshit job purely on the basis of being hugely overpaid? lol

theres plenty of those people going around. and theyre usually dumb as dog shit and dont get any further in a career. what would your train driving ambitions be? pilot the Ghan? do the Geelong goods train run? save up all your pennys and make a model train set? walk around the streets in your old age pestering people about your years as a train driver? subscribe to those awful train magazines as well.

even if you made it to FIFO status, you spend heaps of time away from home. getting by ordering crap online to make you happy when you are at home. your missurs will want an endless stream of pets to provide affection for when you are gone.

I thought about it when I was a chef.... it was literally the most opposite job I could think of.

The test is just ridiculous... waaaaaaay above and beyond what is required of a train driver

Sure is, have had friends apply. It's BS for what they end up doing. Not like it's rocket science but the way they test... Wtf?!

Haha that's it, I'd still rather work my way up and beyond in an industry I actually have an interest in.

FIFO I get, that's a big sacrifice and compensated by big money. Train drivers are deffs overpaid.

This is so nihilistic and edgy

I'll miss you Leroy, but I just can't share your bleak world view

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
