[tickford2001]

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.

We have two depo's and our top shed is next door to a company called reel trans which sounds very similar to what you do. Big **** rolls of paper that they unload from containers and store then send out.

Ar ok, we started storing cardboard from vizyboard (Same or dif) for Streets icecream (Unilever) and man that shit is a paain in the ****. Those fellas know how to move some stuff, thankgod we only did it for 3 months but at one stage i was moving over 1oo pallets a day each way just for streets. The manager over at vizyboard owns a GT-P that pushes 260 od rwkw. Owned it for 11months and only put 900k's on it.

[Chris]

I have a business in melbournes northern suburbs.

I'm a foreman for a commercial landscaping company, we construct all the parklands/garden areas in new housing estates. Been in the bobcat for about 4 years but looking to get out of that and into more operational roles.

I also do cashy weekend jobs if people want (small landscaping jobs, excavation work)...and i'm not working too hard during the week!

[XA-Coupe]

I am an IT Administrator for a maintenance company ... but that also includes support, network engineering, SQL DBA and general PITA around the office

Professional Lazy Bastard™ here

[mrs xa coupe]

I am a team leader and project co-ordinator for HP. I work on rollout projects where we take charge of replacing all a company's computers or upgrading them to windows XP, and transfering data from the old machines to the new ones. My last client was Amcor, and I am now working on a similar project for Pacific Brands. I oversee a team of 3 other team leaders and anywhere from 3 to 40 staff members, it changes from week to week. I also travel around Australia and New Zealand from time to time. I was working 90 hour weeks on the Amcor project, but I am trying to be a bit more sane this time. I am sitting around doing very little at the moment as my project hasn't really started up properly yet.

Hey Chris welcome aboard, you might need to throw a race prepped tonka engine into Rodderz bobcat. Imagine the mess he could make then. Bobcats are un once you get used to the bruised ribs and kidneys, best so far is a 100m wheel stand (No bucket).

[b2tf]

I'm a nightfill manager for a Coles Supermarket here. Basically my job is to make sure the nightfillers do theirs, unload any trucks that come in of a nightttime, keep the back dock in good order and work through the load that we get each night.

Certainly has its moments, but it's not something i want to stay at. I'm hoping to get another job in the new year.

Bugger, another happy fan of Amcor. Were you involved in replacing the network thingy's, i had a yound bloke come in about a month ago and he suppsoed to swap the black box on the wall to a supposdley newer faster one but couldn't because they forgot to ship parts up from vic and haven't heard a thing back.

/me is just an electrician, well Voltage Regulation Technician, but I doubt anyone would know (or really care) what that means.
I'm also in the process of going professional with automotive photography. Trying to set up for motorsports, as well as custom car photography. So if yer interested, or know someone with a rather intersting idea for a shoot give me a holler.

I'm an Estimator/Detailer designing Pre-Fab Wall, Roof & Floor Trusses. The old "walls in a day, roof in a day slogan". I'm really a Carpenter by trade, but I forget how to use a hammer. :rolleyes:

[MAD]

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)

[Twisted]

I work in insurance at the moment. Starting the new year with a promotion/transfer to the commercial area which will be a bit different. 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.

[Cheahman]

Im a painter/decorator

[Racecraft]

I am the manager of 23 taxis..
My hours bite but I have plenty of free time. My split shifts are 3:30am-5:30am and 2pm - 5:00pm 4 days aweek.. The odd phone call after hours and thats about it..... Roughly 20 hours a week spent at the office
