          • I'm a dad. You get some funny looks when you put that on forms , but home duties doesn't feel right.
            My wife is the career orientated one around here, so i look after our 3 little ones, 4 1/2, nearly 3 and 10 weeks. Full on, frustrating but i wouldn't swap it for anything.
            Except on the bad days when i would swap for just about anything.

                  • Hi

                    I have been reading this for a while, and thought I would jump on board, and hopefully add something useful one day

                    I work for a Mining Co down South West WA, in Mineral Sands. Was a HD Mechanic who saw the light, now looking after a couple of Minesites as Maint Supervisor.

                    Have got the Prado and 2001 Dual cab Diesel 4x4 Hilux sitting at home. Also have one of the first 2005 Hilux Diesel Dual Cab 4x4 for my work ute. i couldnt believe the diffeerence in power with the new ute, and the power is still getting better after 100K kms of running in.

                    Some really good reads here guys. Well done
                    Cheers

                          • Hi all,

                            I'm an estimator for the Harvey Norman Commercial plumbing team in Sydney.
                            We supply a lot of the major commercial projects such as aged care/retirement villages, hospitals, hi rise developments,medium density housing projects and such around Sydney.
                            Been doing it for almost 6 years now, before that I managed a number of plumbing supply outlets for various merchants in Sydney and Wollongong.
                            Before that I grew sheep,cattle and grain in central west NSW.
                            Used to drive an International Scout around the farm as a youngster.

                            cheers,

                            Dobbo

                                "....Evening all...."

                                ...another IT bod. I'm a technical consultant at a big multinational software and services company....and I haven't been outsourced yet

                                Worked with everything from System 370 Assembler to java and lots of stuff in between.

                                It will pay the bills until I write the novel
