No I was in hcarge of the desktops being replaced, and we only did the actual Amcor sites, nothing off-site, so DGAFNOP.

up until tomorrow i'm working at safeway. fruit man. used to be a manager, but stepped down (100% voluntarily) when i got sick of the shit i had to put up with for the terrible excuse they call a wage.

gave my notice 2 weeks ago, and tomorrow is my last day. ill miss the people, not the job (or new bosses)

most likely gonna be working at toll for about 250% more money

I'm a first year apprentice motor mechanic, at a Subaru dealership.

38 hours a week, crap pay, but the satisfaction that comes from red lining the loan cars not a minute after I start them, knowing I'm getting them off the road sooner. Also the fun that is giving WRXs and turbo Liberties a bit!

Use of the hoists after work and on weekends is also great.

Firstly... it's fugging fantastic to be home... thanks to all involved in getting this happening... arrrh air is clean and nice... I will swan over the place at some stage.

Me... printer... 20 years, dirty ink, long hours, and completely burnt out... just geting by day to day... in the last 2 months I have worn board shorts to work... surely that's a sign...

But as of the 6th of January, (fingers and toes crossed) I will be a farmer... bloody worrying isn't it... I wouldn't be worried about geneticly modified foods if I were you guys... I would be worried about me harvesting wheat with a shot gun!

I'm a CPA, Tax Agent and partner in a CPA firm (I own half the business).

I am trying not to work as hard, but clients won't accept that so we just try and balance things.

Pushing that glowing red button does however seem to make things worth while.
