Maybe stupid, maybe interesting, but "something", none the less.

what do you do for a crust? (Even if you search thru bins for discards, its still valid.)

Im a site supervisor for a fairly well established house building company.... basically a foreman. Only been doing it since January, after finally breaking out of the office - I was an estimator/scheduler for 11 years before finally getting out and about. I love my job. Its the best thing I have ever done and what I have wanted to do ever since I started as a trainee scheduler at the age of 17 all those years ago. I build somewhere in the vacinity of $12-15mil worth of houses a year. Got our annual HIA (Housing Industry of Aus) awards night coming up soon, so hopefully I bag some plaques.

Lots of organizational skills, lots of planning weeks in advance, lots of sweet talking clients, and quite often have to get into it and get my hands dirty (something most supervisors seem to avoid for some reason)

it's not as glamorous as you think, whammy. All seriousness, I'm a molecular pathology lab technician, 5 years coming. I screen for and report the presence of viruses in the semen, piss, snot, shit, blood and post mortem chunky kibbles of you dirty fuckers. If you've shat in a cup for a doctor, chances are I've not only seen it, but poked around in it with a wooden stick and scraped it into little tubes for analysis while signing motown songs to myself. In spite of having spent the better part of my adult life playing with excrement, I still hate getting blood taken, and seeing phlegm wobble about makes me dry heave.

I have to calibrate and fix the instruments on top of everything else, while routinely dealing with crack smoking doctors who don't wash their hands after shitting.

Pay's ok, security is good, hours are flexible, and it's good for a giggle when you see people from high school etc. pop up as being positive for Herpes.

Assistant Warehouse Manager









It's a bitch of a job isn't it? Even more so if it's involving food. Mind you I'm not a manager, just a lacky. Before working as a storeman I was working in the metal trades. Fabrication and welding. But had a couple of nasty accidents resulting in permanent but minor injuries. I figured that these things come in three's and that the third Accident would be the one that would seriously fuck me up beyond repair or kill me. Apart from that I work wasn't stable and got layed off from 3 firms. Altho getting layed off from the last 2 firms didn't worry me much, Most of the workers were fuckheads. Either got abusive for fuck all. As well as being nice to Your face only to stab You in the back or dobbed on You.

Well you could ultrasonic some dude tell how metal he "really" is.  :headbang:
Then we can get intouch with Ingasm and see what fucked up diseases he has, that he would say he never heard of :-[, and totally fuck up his standpoint by telling everyone.

Then report that cunt to Nihilist and get him to fuck up any chance he'll ever get insurance again :err:, whilst poisoning his ass with the dodgey meat from Coles which we can get Cain to organise :spew:, lets not forget TAPOUT of course. who we get to kick fuck thru  :ranting: just to make sure the plan comes to *fruition, (* no idea how to spell that). Whatever the fuck that is, i dunno, havent really though it thru yet. :no:

All this proly means i need to have a drink or something.

I'm an "assistant storeman" - the actual "storeman" hasn't been able to walk for about a year so I've basically been his legs in that time.  It's a wicked job and I kick arse at it but short of pushing him down the stairs there's no chance I will ever be a real "storeman".  

When he actually does start walking around like a normal human I get to go back to being a droned out shift worker operating machines.

Things are looking up!!

One of my best mates is a panel beater by trade. But after about 10 years he got sick of it and started working as a painter for Austal ships and then on various projects up North. He has no intention of ever getting back into Panel Beating.

I considered being a Panel Beater or a Mechanic when I was still in highschool. But was a bit hard to get into at the time. It was my second choice. As Rob Formentin was looking for someone to train up as his apprentice. Making guitars, I went for that job but some other kid(Glenn Pitter) beat me to it.

I actually considered starting up a thread like this ages ago, though a bit more formal, where people could (if they so chose) list their trade / profession / abilities, and have an index page at the front.
Then if someone was looking for said talent they could get a fellow metal head to do it. I know I'd rather be giving my money to a metal head, not to mention if I did some work for a fellow metal head I'd be more inclined to give a good deal or 'mates' rates.

So then if you were looking for a mechanic or something and you found someone here you'd (hopefully) know they wouldn't rip you off, and perhaps you could do something for them in return, like design their business logo etc.
Like a big metal barter system, with the thread being like the metal head yellow pages. Not to mention fuck off GST.  :cunning:

light automotive mechanic, servicing your car or your wife  :)
@ petrol n metal: the only thing worse than dealing with moronic drivers who ding their car every 3 months only to repeatedly take it back to their panel beater is dealing with idiots who can't speak english well enough to describe what the problem is with their car that theyd like to have fixed. at least when it comes to customer communication in panel beating even stephen hawking can point and say "that dent"


we get that to, our shop is also a structural inspection station, which means we have to inspect all the writen off vehicles that people repair back yard styles to make sure they are repaired properly. it seems the only people that like doing this are other panel beaters, or fucking boat people who cant speak english for shit, which makes for fun and games when your trying to explain to them that your not going to pass their "repaired" car for whatever reasons.

Any car that gets written off goes onto a register. It can't be re-registered until it has gone through one of the above mentioned structural checks.

This is happening a lot with hail damaged cars at the moment from the March storms that people have decided they want to keep. Insurance companies write them off because they're too expensive to repair, but they still run fine so people can have them checked and then register them again. Meanwhile they still get paid out the majority of what their car was worth anyway. Pretty sweet deal for them really.

Moral of the story is, there ain't many dodgy cars floating about unless they're unregistered, and that's when you should start questioning why they're unregistered before buying them.

I guess you can work out one of the types of claims I deal with now Grim.. ;)

ah good to know.
My old goat bought a new car the other day, well 2nd hand, done 27thou on the clock, but the dude we got it off had just bought a car at auction for 13k, "was" a nice car, but was totally rooted from hail damage. I mean it looked like a woman with bad celulite. I dont know why anyone would want that car. except maybe for parts. 13k is alot to pay though.

I suppose if someones mode of transport was a mule, then maybe that would be considered an ass claim.

I was a real storeman once. Everyday day was like a dream come true. It was one of the best jobs I've done.

I worked in a brick factory with mostly drongos for years. After that I was Brickies Labourer with with mostly drugfucked drongos for several more years. For a few years after that I worked as many shitty jobs as I possibly could. And then... I got a forklift licence and became...
                                               A STOREMAN!

It was awesome. They gave me the keys to a brand new truck and said go forth and deliver! So I did. All the time with black\death in the CD player at full volume without regard. I was laughing at them. I couldn't believe I someone would pay me to drive around listening to music of MY choice rather than COMA FM. When I got back I'd load\unload trucks, move things around with forklift rather than carry them. I'd get to talk to the very lovely sales girls. Females! Not in Jiffy vans??  :o We had a real christmas staff party too. No-one yelled me. They listened to my ideas and let me implement a lot of them. It made me feel like I was valued at work. I put a lot effort into that job because I knew it could open doors for me. Ironically I quit because I felt I'd outgrown the role and the business had very little to offer me. They were quite upset when I left. Every single person there asked me to stay on and tried to change my mind. It was very strange to experience that when almost all of my previous ending of employment had been because I hated the job or I hated someone at the job. Or whatever.

So yeah, it was good job.

Recently I finished a job for a respected events theming company that filled the roles of Warehouse Manager -Team Leader - Setup Guy - Packdown King-
That job was even better.

Now I'm studying accounting and helping my lovely girlfriend with her shortbread business.

Im a coded welder.
About five years back i got jack of chasing the work after each job, only to lose it to, lets just say other people.

So started doing shutdwons as a Boilermaker welder.
About 3 months ago BHP anounced a whole heap of new gay ass rules that made it hard for me to continue on with shuts as im not a trade qualed Boily, and Rio Tinto and the like are also following suit. These new rules have fucked alot of people up especially overseas tradies.

So about 2 months ago i started at Tafe as an RPL student to get my Cert 3 in engineering. Heavy fabrication and heavy weld trade cert.
Should have it by Early November.
It opens alot more doors for me now having that, accompanied by my coded welding experience.

Im thinking when ive done this i might go one step further and study something in a similar field to get some fat ass cash coming in.
Not sure what as yet. Definately something that involves alot less tools. both puns intended.

Everyone has personal preferences re: best dogs.

Mine are hounds (Beagle, Bloodhound, Basset) and Poodles of course. Labs and Goldens are sooo easy, like Border Collies. If you can't train those breeds you should just give up! I like a challenge.

Have also trained rats, pigs, horses and sheep. Pigs are so much fun to train!

Siberian Huskies or Alaskan Malamutes? Im picking up my Alaskan Malamute puppy next week actually. Yes, they are hard to train

yeah Mag, AlyMutes are nice dogs, im kinda partial to a beagle too. I just love there temperament. So cheeky, but cute too.

I want a Siberian Huskie. Since they're both supposedly shit guard dogs I thought I go for the slightly smaller one. I figured it would be a little easier to handle and also I think they look slightly cooler. I just want a dog to come running with me and keep my missus company while I'm away. I thought being a sled dog huskies would be up for the run and also the running would do it good getting rid of the excess energy they're supposed to have. Also they look like wolves which is mad.

They sure do look awesome. From what youre telling me, you probably would be better off with a Mal rather than a Husky to be honest. Huskies love to run, but they will run all day and all night if you let them. There's no such thing as wearing them out. Mals on the other hand were more used for pulling big heavy loads, as opposed to the Husky bred to pull a manned sled for days on end. Strength vs Stamina thing. Dont get me wrong, Mals will run and run and run but they arent as hyper as Huskies. Also Mals tend to be a bit more social and if you want a companion/guardian for your girlfriend/wife/kids, you cant go past the pack mentality of the Malamute. To be fair, Huskies are very similar in nature, just tend to be more frisky and harder to calm down. Both beautiful animals though and I reckon you will be happy with either of them. 

People say that they are shit guard dogs, but seriously, would you jump the fence with this looking back at you? especially when it starts to howl/talk to you.

Yeah, they would both be good guard dogs in a deterrent sense but from what I've read they're more likely to hide from an intruder than attack them. Don't really want an aggressive guard dog though, be more worried about them turning on someone you like than protecting you from someone you don't.

at the moment i am a Fruit and Veg Assistant/2ic at IGA, serving up tasty treats just the way the locals like it  :sick:, it pretty much means i have to follow around a tiny 60+ year old italian bloke who tells me off alot. Plus im the manager on Saturdays because the owner plays cricket and the store manager has to have at least one day off. Its pretty sweet but get pretty much the whole week without work except for early mornings, worst thing is no weekend at all... Hopefully by the start of 2012 i will be a Provisionally registered School Psychologist, then i get weekends and school holidays woot!!
