would also comment that FIFO complain lots...but considering that I am currently doing teaching of IT via FIFO...

 

meh the beers are good.

I can't comment on things I'm not familiar with, but I think this is a combination of 2 things:

1) Teachers union asking for a mile to try and secure a few inches.

2) people having an expectation of hard work = high pay.

Unfortunately for teachers, there are just SO many of them. I meet a lot of young people starting their working careers and have never met a teacher who wasn't working. Everyone else struggling to secure a meaningful job for months or years while teachers somehow seem to get work, like nurses. Maybe it has to do with uni placement and making contacts?
Or is it because hospitals and schools are necessary items semi-funded by the government and don't have the pressures of global markets and investors breathing down staff's necks? Schools don't even have management, it's just administration and the principal/vice. Teaching is up to the teachers and the content/requirements are dictated by bodies outside of the schook

Flat organization hierarchy = little opportunity for career progression besides standard payrises. When a teacher gets to ten years, if they don't secure a role in admin there is no further payrise based on their experience/growth, only indexed payrises.

It comes down to unions and strength in numbers = greater leverage. Most all humans feel entitled to what they can get and would do the same shit if we all had unions telling us we can get more / are worthy of a pay rise if we band together and do x. People don't like dealing with confrontation by themselves and there is a greater risk of losing by putting your single job on the line, having to negotiate by yourself, rather than hundreds/thousands at once. Teachers, like nurses and paramedics also have a unique leverage in that an organisation can shut down because of industrial action and pick up where it left off when it finishes. Children with career parents can't be babysat easily and patients in need of care need just that.

My problem with unions is it averages out the skill level into a single representation and assumes that all of them deserve a uniform pay rise including shitkickers. If individual office workers tried to negotiate by themselves the shitkickers would get laughed out of the room. Google the "better than average effect" for interesting psych studies on teachers where most will say they are better than average when this is literally inpossible.

It just goes around in circles.. teachers.. paramedics.. fireys.. 

Agree with your birds that they shouldn't all be thrown into the same basket, the ones that are actually good at what they do deserve more $ etc.

On another note, like 50% or more of people I know starting uni or still doing it right now are studying teaching at the moment :O

^This!
Does my head in!

Recruiter calls about a 2 week contract role in the city.. mate I want a job not some 2 week bullshit that will make me miss out on REAL job interviews over the next 2 weeks.. seriously who takes those roles? pay was nothing special either 

Then this afternoon another recruiter calls me about a potential job.. "didn't have a chance to fully read your CV" but do you have experience in X and Y? no and no.. cya.

I'll now return to play some CS, dota 2 or wow on rotation. fml.. hopefully tomorrows interview goes good

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
