Well that was a short swing. Having to fly home early again, the ex has managed to cause Byron to meltdown majorly again. He’d barricaded himself in his room and said if he can’t go to mine he’s going to run away. So heading back. Going to have to work out a way for him to be at mine full time. Hopi...

SWIM and colleagues discuss that regularly, just as fantasy of course

And yes, though it's falling apart on its own these days

I take it there's no one at at HR you can talk to you get a better picture for the next 12 months? Nah, this is all down to Operations. HR have zero clue or effect on when we'll wind up. Nearly all the long term core crew guys out here are feeling like me. That's what makes it worse, the moral here...

the really bumhole part is when they bought our facility our redundancies were paid to them as part of the settlement, as our previous owners had a very generous enhanced redundancy policy. The current owners pride themselves on being a "Low Cost Operator" and their redundancy policy would...

Redundancy was slated for Aug/Sep. Production end February (now) and 6 months decommissioning. Byron finishes school then and also turns 18. As soon as he's legally an adult he said he doesn't want to live with his mum. I wanted to be around to help him transition into work/tertiary study. He's not ...

Our upper management are a bunch of self serving bullsh*t artists.. June 2022 - When I missed out on the Sydney Water Operations job and the Defence Fuels Consultant role disappeared due to the company not getting the contract renewal, I thought, I'll hang in out here, it's only going to be another ...

Belated wishes mate, sounds like it was a good one

On my way to work.

The weekend in Adelaide was huge, need to go to work to rest up

That’s some serious hill work Jon!

I am currently building a cafe racer type thing based on a CX500 with a CX650 frame ,the retro bikes are good sellers but its dead cheap to build your own version and personalise it to your taste A guy Jlawie that used to be on here started a CX500 cafe bike build and was posting pics up but faded ...

Big breakfast, triple espresso and a green juice

If this doesn’t work for the hangover I’m just going to start drinking again

Happy “f**k! is this really my age now?” day

Hope the wife and girls spoil you suitably!

On route to Adelaide for a long weekend with Jess, might as well make the most of being on sick leave

Yeah… might have overshot last night….

Internet fixed,

Psychiatric assessment with my son, now can add ADHD to his list.

Battled Sydney traffic to the airport

Internet withdrawals.

Storm hit Monday and a lightning strike fried our fibre connection box. 4 day wait for a tech to confirm issue and replace the box (same thing happened a few years ago)

We have one corner of the house where we get 1 bar of 4G with rates of 1-2 mbps.

I’m 6 months into that and still working on it

Crispy chicken lettuce wrapped burger with onion rings, just what a hangover needed

Kid free city weekend. We were supposed to go camping but my back still isn’t up to it. Though it felt fine after a few drinks last night

X_Rays is clear and today back seems to feel a lot better than it has. Few other good bruises coming out. My elbow is pretty missed up but hadn’t even noticed with all the back issues.

I’m with you Cav, I prefer to have face to face discussions on items that are more than yes or no. So much can be lost in email conversations. With your managers perspective on small batch runs before QA, without knowing all the variables you deal with. I don’t disagree with that idea. But what I am...
