I was thinking the exact same.. at this point score card strongly in favor of the boss.

Can't wait for further installments.

Don't think boss has the upperhand - he's trying everything he can to get a definitive answer out of Simon, for whom it's a win win situation as he's dissatisfied with his current job and any change is a positive step. He also can't just replace Simon based on some workplace gossip, so no, he hasn't got any hand here...

He also has all of his company information stored in a proprietary software database which has been completely written by me, and no-one else knows how to work with it daily... So the cost of replacing me is much greater than keeping me and giving me a raise...

Hell he could give me an extra $20k and he'd still be on top compared to the alternative.

In the short term it might be cheaper but generally bosses don't like having people who don't seem loyal. So yes true birds he can't just sack him but unless I missed something simon hasn't got another job yet? He could easily be pushed out over time from his current position and his boss can easily tighten the screws to make it even less enjoyable.

If there's another job on the table elsewhere take it and move on

Leesh heard of teach for australia program? Mrs is finishing off her science degree and applying for it, apparently they onboard heaps of people with different degrees and pay them as graduate teachers for 2 years (they get a masters of teaching afterward) then can choose whether to continue teaching or what evs, go into their industry etc.

Was a bit strange as she told me she doesn't want to teach when talking about career paths 3 months ago.. nek minit wants to teach now

mmm stock pearlescent paint...

That early DVD generation was that weird era where special effects could be rampant, but digital film wasnt ready yet. like The Matrix it has this film grain that adds something the sequels didnt.

How is your Mrs's science degree related to teaching? Does she want to become a science teacher?

Whats the prerequisite degree required for teaching?

Dunno what you're talking about; all I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.

Bachelors or diploma in...dut dada daaaa...teaching

You choose either primary or secondary though

That's the thing, this program is funded by department of education - basically yeah onboard any degrees (science, art students etc but NO teaching degrees) then after 2 years they get a masters of teaching (high school)

So yeah, no prerequisite degree to teach apart from what ever other degree you completed.

Edit: few months ago no, she didn't want to be a science teacher but now apparently she does lol

She always wanted to go into research, but yeah guess that's pretty hard to get into.

Edited by UNR33L

Fair enough!

Whats the job availability and pay like for researchers? I assume not much out there

Only asked because she studied something and seems to be going in a completely different direction. Possibly wasting 3 years or so of your life yo

Yeah research has gone out the window since the Funding got cut massively.

Sister in law is a researcher at melb uni and looks to be looking her contract along with a bunch of others.

they all looking at new jobs now. so the market is flooded with experienced folk.

got a link to this project might send her way.

Well it's not really throwing away 3 years of your life, those 3 years basically qualified you to go into a school and teach (same as a actual teaching degree I guess?) / do this and get paid basically graduate teacher wages or paraprofessional what ever they call it.. after 2 years they'll probably onboard you and put you up to what ever teachers get paid - 60k? no idea, probably depends what you're teaching I guess

SO the way I read this is that you are most likely to be placed in a remote community for 2 years....this is not going to be teaching at your local high school.

I tell it how it is cause I'm a goldfigga
and I hate a money hungry girl a.k.a. golddigger
it aint even funny
some girls dont even know me asking me can they get some money
I'm looking nothing like ya poppa
I wouldn't give a chick 10 cent to put cheese on a Whopper
They wanna know why I'm so fly
a girl ask me for a ring and i put one around her whole eye
Chicks used to diss but now they wanna kiss
Yo Showbiz I'ma break it down like this

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
