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

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
