I work for a transport comapny, which has a storage contract for Amcor Flexibles a perth based company which i am lucky enough to look after all by myself. Basically pick orders for distrabution around NSW anywhere up to 30 pallets a day. I hate my job but it pays for my car which i love. I work 55+ hours a week, 10am to 4pm doing that stuff and all the other odd hours is working in the transport depo loading unloading trucks. Tues and fri i start at 7am and normally dont finish till after 9pm, intersate transport sucks hard. The work itself isn't to hard it's keeping up thats a bugger and sorting out other peoples messes they seem to love creating. With the new year arriving hopefully my hours should drop down to 4o a week for a month (Wishes). Ba hate to be the poor sods who work on weekends tho.

I have a business in melbournes northern suburbs.

I specialise in task/class specific race engine development and consultation.

I suppose Im just living the same childhood dream, only the tonka toys are bigger, faster and slightly more expensive.

I work at a factory that supplies hot stamping foil to the printing industry.
we've got clients such as john sands greeting cards, hallmark, henderson greetings, and many other small businesses.

My hours vary shit loads, cause I'm at uni studying to become a mechanical engineer. Basically any chance I have, I work, and my boss accomodates my needs from school very well.

The best part about my workplace though.... we get lunch bought everyday, and when its not bought, its made by the bosses mum. (mmm...traditional italian meals)

Ive pretty much been treading water for the last 12 months since i left the army but i intend to start some IT training and get an interesting and high paying job behind me.

I hang out on Forums and defend the honour of the AU Falcon.

Oh, sometimes I do IT work for a company that puts money in my bank each month. I install payroll systems apparently.

electricians TA here, money isnt too bad, boss is a good enough bloke, and theres the side benefit that if i want, i can claim my overtime on various other stuff (like, aircon for my bedroom, company pays for it, and i just pay it off as the overtime rolls in.......) otherwise i get taxed to hell and back.....

*meh* it pays the bills i guess

I'm Head Systems Operator for Woolworths Burwood.
I hate it. 6am-4pm 5 days, including every second weekend.

I recently applied for a job elsewhere so we'll see what happens with that.
