yeah the wildlife is pretty funny and cute out here.

we range from camels, brumbies (wild horses), bungarrows (big big lizards), sheep, cattle, mill workers (heh heh mining joke), ferral cops, emu's, kangaroos, rabbits.

best sight the other day was a huge wedgetail eagle feeding off some roadkill on the road.

the food is free.. give it some then get some more! well unless your living locally.

cool mining job, decent money there and you are in IT so i'm assuming you'd be in a room with aircon.

if i knew more about networking i'd apply for those but Win NT and basic workgroup is the extent of my knowledge. why couldn't i ever get LInux to work dammit.

[Tre-Cool]

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but Do you unisys guys know whats going to happen to your jobs when BHPBilliton buys out WMC?

[raasclaat]

nah..no-one really knows just yet. Depends if CSC (BHPs outsourcer) require staff. Im sure they will pull some staff with WMC knowledge...even though I hear they want to implement their systems and ditch WMC/Unisys's.

Not that I care anyway! I just resigned !! Off to Rio Tinto

Working for an outsourcing company sucks hard.

[caminperth]

Avram - working for Rio? In the central park office?

Brendan - have you met an electrical engineer named Dave yet? He's about 25 and only just started working there..

[raasclaat]

Cam...yeah. Ive done about 4 years with WMC at kwinana/city/rivervale/leederville(unisys) with some stints at Mt Keith.

I just resigned and my final day is ..gulp** friday the 13th - then i start with Rio on the 16th.

Which company and site are you at?

[caminperth]

Avram - I'm with the expansion projects group in Mill st.. doing a fair bit of work at yandi..
