@851 said: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.
@Tigermama said:@happy tiger said: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:

@willow said:@happy tiger said:@willow said:Some interesting responses here, keep them coming.
Well , add yours then Willow
Currently working drug investigations at the moment but I was recently specialising in cyber crime which was very interesting. At the end of the day, I find it a very rewarding and interesting job.
@turnstyle said:Dear 851, Demps, Underdog, foreveratiger, Flippedy, Tigermama, Cultured Bogan, True Tiger and fulleightyminutes. (and anyone else i may have forgotten).
this afternoon i broke a rule of the petrol station i work at by a) not having my phone turned off, and b) actually accepting a phone call whilst at work.
the reason i am telling you this amazingly boring little tidbit?:
the phone call was one i had been waiting for since an interview i had on Monday morning and the lovely voice on the other end had indeed as i hoped called me to offer the civil designer role i went for.
it is unfortunately not a guaranteed full time permanent role, but in my industry and this climate that is a very rare thing indeed, and the early indications are it has a good chance of becoming so in a little time.
i hope this doesnt seem too self indulgent, but the very kind words of support and thumbs ups i received after posting in this thread really meant a lot to me and it may sound weird, but it made me feel i had a lot of positivity on my side in my search. my long, long search!!!
98% of the time i have a frivolous attitude but sometimes a sincere, heart felt thank you is appropriate.
thank you all.

Nothing quite like building something that makes other people's lives easier.
@westy81 said:@fulleightyminutes said: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

its really satisfying doing a job that helps people isnt it? even if often it isnt understood or appreciated as much as it could be, it is still a good feeling.
good on you sataris. :slight_smile:
