Telstra called me about 2 months back trying to get me to recontract... I'm 6 months out of contract with a $49 business cap that is working completely fine for me... BUT it's only got 1gb of data... Doesn't really bother me because it's bugged and excess data usage gets absorbed into the $550 of included value :P

The guy on the phone was about 70yo... and he kept saying how he used to work in finance... like 5 times. Good for you buddy, you're working in a call center now though, arent you?

I said to recontract they'd need to increase my data to a usable amount, at no additional cost to me.

He said it wasn't possible and that the best option for me was to buy an ADDITIONAL iPad Contract which came with XXX data/month for only $60... I kept asking if I'd be able to use the data from the ipad contract on my current phone and he kept avoiding the question. So I kept asking if I would be paying more on my phone plan each month than I am now... his response was:

"Your phone plan will stay at $49/month..."

"and how much do I have to pay for 4gb of data on the iPad?"

"Only $60..."

"On top of the cost of my phone plan?"

"Yes."

"So my request was the best option to get a bit more data than 1gb on my phone without paying anything more per month, and your response is that I should pay $109/month for additional data which I cannot use through my phone at all?"

"Yes."

"You should look into a different line of work... Finance clearly didnt work for you, and neither is this..."

*hangup*

Call center staff will say anything for a sale, but this guy was just retarded...

Was also trying to tell me that the Kogan Prepaid Mobile with 12gb of data/month for $199/year wasn't resold through the telstra network... *sigh*

/ragerant

Edit: Oh, that was a lot longer than I planned it to be... on the plus side, it's now past 5pm... HOME TIME BITCHES!

need chemical engineering job.

need electrical engineers.

We should start our own engineering firm. SAU Engineering. lol

oh. why you learning SQL for that?

I just need to run SQL, the server.

All the software developers and programmers at my work are like silent, don't even know they exist fark working in their room

Fuck that. We're the loudest bunch. Plus we have all the candy and Lego. Also... your office has rooms? dafuq?

f**k that. We're the loudest bunch. Plus we have all the candy and Lego. Also... your office has rooms? dafuq?

Well they have their own little area / room bit together yeh lol

They do have lolipops and jelly beans but thats about it

you'd be surprised at how little some engineers get paid. you'll also get annoyed at how many businesses write "Engineering" on the side of their vehicles and on business cards who "engineer" stuff, but arent "engineers". like the way you could say McDonalds "engineer" the way their burgers fit into those little boxes (good old days of cardboard rings and manual wrapping, so you knew if the burgers were getting smaller, as oppose to not knowing cause the box makes that difficult). you'll also feel sick when you see people with number plates "NGNEER".

in saying that, you dont need a degree to be an engineer. and i kinda roll my eyes when i meet graduate electrical engineers who have been employed and do rotation for 2-3 years and not actually do anything or contribute to the business.

Meh, simple fix, just refer to yourself as a professional engineer. Anyways engineering is nothing special. You end up becoming a specialist in your field which limits your chances of managing/running a business as you lack the accounting/finance/relationship management skills.

Not saying its impossible, comes down to your personality and street smarts to climb out.

Doctors/lawyers specialise in their field but get paid a packet because they deal directly with individuals.

should make a SAU garage cafe harlem shake.

Leigh you can put on your helment in an empty GC in your bintang singlet haha

haha I'm game, you organise it with the staff there for next meet :P

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
