Wanker banker,is that a sperm bank ?

 

[Demonborger]

I work in the head office of a medical device company. Very enjoyable. :nerd:

 

[foreveratiger]

Left school after year 10,got an apprenticeship as a Fitter and Machinist at the Small Arms Factory Lithgow.
Was there for 7 and a half years,left to work as a mechanical fitter in an underground coalmine,clocked up almost 25 years when they closed the mine on the 27th of march this year,coincidently was the same day I had a fall and fractured my skull.
No alcohol was involved in case you were wondering,it was early morning.
I am still in recovery mode but feeling much better,the headaches that were there all day are only there for a short time after I wake up each morning now,my inner ear is still full of dried blood which is very annoying.
Doctors say I have to wait for it fall out naturally,which is not fast enough for my liking,feeling much better now and looking forward to my new job.
I will start a new job in correctional services on monday,I am keen for a change after doing fitting my entire career,the job is casual but I am hoping it will become full time as I could see myself staying there until I retire,which unfortunately is a way off.
Have enjoyed reading the life and times of our fellow forumers,and what a talented and diverse bunch you all are,I think far smarter than the average NRL fan.

Fantasic read mate , wish you well in your continued recovery and your new job :wink:

Ditto from me 851.

 

[851]

Thank you to forevertiger and Flippedy for your kind words,doctors say I will make a full recovery as no surgery was needed to repair the fracture.
I was just lucky I didn't have to start work on monday the 30th of march,as I was in nepean hospital at the time,the gap in between jobs was going to be relaxing I thought,but it was recouperating instead.
Ohh well what don't kill you makes you stronger,so I should be real strong heading into my new career on monday.

I'm betting Abbott was asking why you got the Ice out of the freezer for

Or maybe he was offering Captain Dan an Ice Cream

Too funny :laughing:

Slightly off subject , but I was listening to Merrick on the radio today talking about Ice and talking to users on the radio

Maybe I'm very naïve , but I had no idea how quickly people become hooked to the stuff

Stay away from this stuff or any other drugs everyone

The WT's are our high

Yes very addictive Happy. Of all the other Amphetamines ( base, speed) Ice is the most pure form.
When ice is used, the receptors in the brain are flooded with Monoamines. With frequent use these receptors can be destroyed, and prolonged ice use can lead to a point, when the user no longer feels pleasure without further Ice use.
At the hospital we treat quite a few Ice overdoses and Ice related injuries. Some physical, psychological or in some cases both.
Extra security is required when dealing with Ice patients, as they can be agressive and violent, requiring sedation and physical restraint. Scary stuff. :frowning:

Yes, I've heard this a couple of times now and that, as well as the fast addictive nature of the drug, is extremely scary.

Glad the government is now pro-active in dealing with it.

 

[barra]

Always keen for a fish.

Well we'll have to make sure the invite covers you Mac!

 

[barra]

Barra, Can we buy your Rods???

Yes mate, there are a couple of ways to do that, either the rods made in my workshop here

http://millerods.com.au/index.php

or through buying Shimano, I do design work on most of their top ranges.

Thank you,much appreciated,and I saw the doctors at nepean hospital today actually,the fracture is healing fine and the fluid should drain off in the next 2 weeks apparently.
So onward and upward like our team I hope.

Health professional - private practice and consultancy

Privileged to work a lot with Aboriginal youth from across the country

Enjoy working with people in the health arena, as others have also noted

Love the independence, creativity, and various roles involved with owning your own business, despite the demands time-wise and relative lack of financial security at times

Good thread, thanks Demps

 

[westy81]

I write for film and TV. Industry has changed a lot in past 10 years, there's no 'full time' jobs on Tv shows anymore - we are all freelance. But I can manage my own time, (can work at night) and so look after the kids etc. Best job in the world if a bit insecure financially sometimes.

PS - Found all this really interesting. Good idea Demps

That film you wrote recently, where can I see it as I see the trailer for it and looks like a good film

They are still working that out Westy. Hopefully it is soon (in next few months). As soon as I know I'll let you know. Great to hear you're interested, cheers
