    What do you do for a job?

    3 reasons i ask this, im sure most members here would be interested in what other people do for a job. you never know, maybe another member near to you has a skill you may be interested in using maybe we have a photographer here and your getting married soon or your doing up your bathroom and need a glazier or maybe you need something delivered from Sydney to Brisbane maybe someone works for a transport firm. the 3rd is employment, ive just helped Myron get a job where i work and they are still looking for more workers. so maybe you have a job vacancy where you work? i just thought if we could provide some sort of database it may be helpful.

    I work for ADI(Australian Defence Industries) Ltd. We produce ammunition for the Australian Defence Forces. Anything from small calibre rifle ammo to 2000lb bombs for the air force.
    Before anyone asks, no I can not bring bombs home from work, and yes the job does sound alot more exciting than it really is.

    This info is fairly usless I know!

    So! the Iceman knows how to make bombs! Wanna come down to Cronulla with Rexxie and I mate[?] [}]

    I'm a geek, programming, databases, and systems analysis, mainly large scale corporate systems. [:I]

    Not real fuckin useful unless you want to get into 'project scheduling' for you're next fighter project. [)]

    Believe it, or not, it actually makes a difference, don't spend as much time waiting for things you didn't take into account, or wasting money on unnecessary bits.

    There's a lot of very well paid IT work in CBR at the moment if anyone's looking

    You all know what I do, so if you're trying to start that (non-gay) porn site you always imagined yourself doing, give me a call.

    Fitter/machinist/welder by trade.... years in small shops doin general and engine machining... then had a go at a few years of mechanical engineering but I'm not a theory for theory's sake person...
    So got into the mining/construction side of things and ran a workshop/toyshop on the side..

    busted my leg in prang and can't stay on it for the hours needed on site so I work part time doin warranty work on gensets and compressors and repairing air tools

    and part time in my toyshop ... although i'm just about to step it up a notch and go all legit... do all my own head work and most engine work ... only farm out boring ... got an AC/DC TIG so I can weld most things ... as soon as the gixxer is sold I'm buyin a new lathe and mill... that's why I gotta step it up a notch ... gettin too much outlay for a toyshop and I'm gonna have ta start makin a livin out of it.... hopefully that wont kill ALL the fun

    is your site near a racecourse chopper?
    ever heard of an FAR building?...

    anyways
    im a fresh little wide-eyed engineer with only a few year of "real-work" up my sleeve
    always been a tinkerer though and think of myself as pretty handy
    plus im totally against the whole "im an engineer so i sold my imagination to the devil" bit so i like to think of myself of an out-of-the-square kinda guy

    get access to a nice little fitter shop on weekends too
    Rev the fucker!!!!!

    I dance in a cage suspended from the roof in a gay night club wearing nothing but a "G" banger, however I did make one stipulation, that there is a lock on the inside so the punters can't get me.
    I am actually a Dental Technician, although at the moment I'm driving a LPG tanker.
