I was in IT (started straight out of university in 1973 - punched card era  :cry:  ).  My last project was implementing and supporting the software used to scan and read the handwriting from the 2006 Australian Census forms (also did the 2001 Oz census and 2006 NZ Census).  I studied geology at university, but the year I finished corresponded with the end of the 60's mining boom in Oz and all of a sudden there were not many jobs available in geology so I ended up in IT.

At least your technicians are qualified to mix things and can usually make a reasonable guess at the resultant explosion.  I teach chemistry in a university, you want to try 300 undergraduates a week playing at being chemists, then we syphon out the good ones and get them to do bigger things in postgraduate research :eek: :lol:

Fair comment Dazz!

While I work hard on recycling whatever I can, the real meaning is that cons. pic. framers give customers the option of using basic materials and techniques to frame their work, or, using only materials and procedures that provide the best possible long term protection for the artwork or artifact.

There is of course a cost premium to it as the archival mats and supports, the UV filtering glass or perspex, the sealing of rebates, the special hinging or 'couching' of the work in the frame, and other slower procedures, all add to the cost. Some of the older artworks also need restoration before we even frame it.

But we only recommend this for works people want to hang on to for a long time.  Most of the work I get falls into this category.



Thanks for your interest!

Hi, this is also my "first post".
I am now retired, my body is not what it used to be (TPI). In a former life I was a Marine Engineer steam & diesel, and then
retrained as an Aircraft Mechanical Engineer (Sumpy) . In all I spent just over 20 years between the R.A.N. & R.A.A.F.
I have also played around restoring and maintaining old steam and diesel locomotives whilst getting the Mary Valley Heritage Railway up and running.

Heart replacement? Hell no, nothing so dramatic, just knee joints. Now on my 2nd replacement in 13 months (L knee) Still rattles and bangs with a mind of its own.

@Radio Rentals? I thought they went the journey years ago. I worked for RR just after I was married in 66. Almost unique in those days where they paid their engineers to use their own cars; I was the original 'boy racer' in my souped up Vauxhall VX490. I spent more time under the bonnet than in the car.

I used to work with a guy who'd had a heart transplant. I didnt know about his heart at the time but he used to go very red in the face when annoyed, and I used to enjoy winding him up. Oooops.

Actually I don't know. I could speculate that if they are it's because their testosterone levels are higher than they should be, or they're having cancer treatments, or they shave it all off!

Your sure to go bald working in that sector hayseed. I have two friends who work at Durham Uni on designing the software for distance learning and are both bald, and a good few years younger than me. I had a very good school friend who moved to Cambridge when his father got a job down there, he also worked on the very first distance learning programmes at Cambridge Uni and he was bald by his early 30's.

I went bald during chemo treatment about four years ago. God I was ugly, :'( thankfully it came back, thicker than ever. :D

As for me, I used to be a plumber, but I left that job because I got fed up with the bosses calling me names, so I went into retail (fruit store) and now I'm currently managing the wholesale. Tiring work which requires 5AM starts but it pays well.  :P

Started work in NZ in an agricultural research station for 4 years.

In retirement as a member of the U3A (University of the Third Age - pretentious title that!) I am still teaching Latin but trying hard to get a Real Ale Appreciation Group going :lol:

I already posted a bit about myself in another thread but I'll put some info here as well since it seems to be the place to be.
I've spent 35 years working in the tyre industry in various roles. All one company (an international) until 2004 when i went to a boutique company which specialised in import and wholesale tyres from 4" diameter to 50" + earthmover. After a couple of years there I retired and came home to Queensland where my main job now is surfing.
I still do some work for a few dealerships in Brisbane, as well as help out occasionally for the Brisbane branch of my last employer.
Some of the roles I held while working full time included Retail Store Manager, State Workshop Supervisor, Marketing Manager (State and National roles). Spent a lot of time running training courses. Also helped set up and run a Licensing (franchising) program. Finally as State Manager with responsibilities for sales, warehousing, deliveries and collections.
Started in Queensland, transferred to HO in Sydney and finally came home again.
OH! Not sure it's relevant here but spent half my lifetime building and driving rally cars, serving in various C.A.M.S. positions and dabling in motor sport journalism. (which helped pay for my rallying :cool:)

I'm not talking from direct experience but as an observer who visits school as part of my day job and a number of teachers as friends.

Overall, the majority are great kids but you get a few who are little/big s*ds and can make life a misery for the teacher.

Teachers I know work on average 7.30/8 am to 4.30/5pm'ish.  Go home and then do prep work.

Weekends doing prep or marking so they put in the hours but do get compensated with 12 week holidays a year.

What level of teaching are you doing?

Yeah, thats true, same here + here teachers work for 700euro a month!

Other teachers started their work with great hope and expectation but kids kicked that will for work out of them very fast and all is reduced to waiting for retirement...very sad.
I work one week from 8am to 1-2pm, other from 2pm to 7-8pm, some short prep work before job or during, not a chance during weekends :)

Thing about "little/big s*ds" is beyond easy for me.
Its all about image and perception of you.
I have only 24y (22y day i started) so i get all the tricks and stuff they try...my look is extremely aggressive :twisted: (underline only LOOK)...principal spread the fact from my biography from application that i'm the active football fan (which here in Croatia instantly means you are criminal and hooligan -> dangerous) and now everyone is sort of affraid and scared to try anything including also stupid parents complains about grades, now they are all realistic  :lol: :lol:

try to be philosophical about the money you earn...  We used to get a bit crabby about the poor money we earned in the nursing job...  I used to come back with this.

There are men crawling about a mile under the earth with picks and shovels using machines that could kill them in an instant !!!  So I guess coming to work in a nice clean shirt each day ain't that bad after all.

Having said that, if your in oncology I'd double your pay today  :lol:

I know a couple of young (well - in their 30's now) guys who are uni mates of my son who is an electrical engineer who studied biomedical engineering. Ironically both have moved out of the field and upwards (?) - one to MIT on a scholarship then to California and the other writing software used by armed forces all over the world for real-time feedback from the field.
Two really nice young guys who've made it from UNSW (Sydney).
What I like about the whole thing is that my son, who's involed in the project to supply power to the Gorgon Project in WA, these two and several others of their uni mates have all kept in touch.
Sorry, a bit off topic but your role reminded me of them all.
I also did some post graduate study with a couple of guys from Cochlear a few years ago. They were involved in R&D for that company so I guess they had similar backgrounds.

Well guys I have been an accountant for some time. Recently I called myself a "chief cook and bottle washer" because I seem to get a lot of the problem jobs associated with accounting and systems.
In semi retirement I spend a lot of time trying to help out my 93 year old Mum, work at accounting two days a week.

Interests have been in computers, boats, fishing, motor bikes, cars, building (house renovations), rifle target shooting, water skiing, snow skiing and socialising, {drinking and BBQ's} (like most blokes) now resting the old worn out bones.

Interesting that we seem to be from a very varied age group and with a wide diversity jobs. Good one.

Well just to keep the topic rolling - I work for a hi-tech manufactuing company, I'm something to do with their IT function (not really sure), and it basically involves being shouted at in French and then using Alta-Vista babel fish to try and figure out what objectives my boss has just set me.

I'm a failed PPL (plank driver) and owned a 32 foot motor cruiser for a few years.  Which was mainly used for smuggling lots of cheap French wine from Cherbourg to Chichester.   Fortunately I used to drink the all of the product so never made a profit, but had a lot of great friends.

I really can't get the questions like 'How does it work?' out of my mind.  :cool:
For my previous car I designed a trip computer that monitored the consumption of gas and LPG separately, showing me the separate milleage for both fuels (both calibrated down to 0.1 l/100km). Due to the day lacking more than 24 hours, I haven't done any 'modification' to my i30 yet. But I'm sure I will find something...
Some things already bother me - why is the button for the trip computer behind the wheel??? ... or....  why does the cluster illumination does not take the sun (A/C already measures its intensity) into the account (during the night, all those blue LEDs really shine, while during the day I have to set the illumination to the max to see anything on the display).... (and others  :D)

I am a retired wire burner/boilermaker.  My actual trade is a blacksmith/farrier.

But I have also been a car detailer, car salesman tyre fitter/salesman , wedding photographer, truck driver, horse groomer plus a few other things along the way.

Now I am the chief bottle washer, dog looker after and car cleaner.

As for the wife, she is a senior lecturer in journalism/multimedia. As I tell ppl, my wife has a PhD but I don't have a J.O.B

I am in aircraft technician, nowadays I'm waiting for the line maintenance station to be open.
To be an aircraft technician means a huge responsibility, cause if something happens to the aircraft in air or either upon landing or take-off it may lead to disaster; it also means you are exposed to cold, heat, snow and etc while working on the apron, especially when it's windy, snowy and the temperature is below -20 degrees and you have to do something with bare palms; it also means you would be inhaling different kind of gases (especially this concerns hydraulic fluid) , tasting different kind of liquids unintentionally (de-icing fluid type 1 is so sweet  :D ).
From another side, while working in aviation one may fly with almost every airline of the world with the significant discounts or even free of charge (depends on the airline's rules), this is the main advantage, there are some others, but not many.

Interesting. I used to do some summer job as a student (cleaning airplanes) at the airport (service of the airport) and it was certainly interesting. What I was always amazed, was the fact, how the technician "open" the plane, service it (especially overhaul?), then we clean it and the parts and then it is put together and guess what..it still flies :D I remember, first day I started working, I was rubbing the blades of the engine (http://image.24ur.com/media/images/original/Dec2001/2001228.jpg) for 10 or 12 hours (are they even called like that?). Next day cleaning the fuel tanks (sticking my head inside - under the wings), taking seats in/out, cleaning under bonnet,.. Oh and cables...there are so many cables under the cockpit..huh

The planes that were serviced at the airport (Slovenia) were usually: Airbus A310 A320, Canadiar (Bombardier) CRJ-200, CRJ-700.. Once, when we were washing the plane (I think it was A310) with the I-don't-know-how-it-is-called-fluid, which has btw awful taste and is very unpleasant when inhaling it or getting in your eyes, I almost fell off the plain. I Was at the tail section and wasn't tied with anything. I slipped but somehow managed not to skid down. Haha. Also almost fell of the CRJ-700 when we were polishing those "metal" parts, but that plain is really small.

your story is quite interesting, indeed. In fact my first day working as a mechanic for, long time fallen apart airline, Pulkovo aviation enterprise I was almost involved in aircraft cleaning (Tu-154), but once I began I was called to assist in push-back procedures.
Actually I haven't been inside the wing, which is also a fuel tank, thus you were lucky, I guess, unless you inhaled too much fuel vapors to see cartoons  :mrgreen: (I know that the tanks are well ventilated before any work can be carried out).
You are right about blades.

So intellegent people drive Hyundai.  Sales reps seem to drive Audi, and Mercedes means Taxi in most countries?

I work for a company that makes Broadcast Audio / Visual electronic equipment.  I'm an electro accoustic engineer and work in the repair / test department.  We supply and to Sky, BBC, ITV Channel 4 and many other television and radio stations accross the world.  If they need support they phone me as most companies no longer have there own engineers.

By the way, no need to fit shallow speakers in the i30.  I have now fitted Pioneer TS-E1702is in the front and the slightly less expensive TS-E1702i in the back.  I originaly upgraded to shallow fit speakers after reading other posts on this forum.

Ah, Gawd. . . Journalist.  As in, nasty  national tabloids. And also: an Editor. Though not of a nasty national tabloid, I do have some standards. Also: writer of all kinds of stuff for all kinds of media. Also: author. Now retired from everything apart from hedonism. Most intersting job ever? I once had to sack our then Motoring Editor because he was too pissed too often to be entrusted with manufacturer loan cars: a new Porsche was once delivered on a car transporter (as is the l way these things are often done) and said Motoring Editor stood at the bottom of the ramp and was nearly flattened. So I did his job instead -- well, someone had to. Married to Mrs F. Who likewise has a long and dubious media pedigree.  (Note to identity dealers: the foregoing is all b0ll0cks, I'm a monk in  charge of the Benedictine bottling plant.)

Every time I watch the TV news  / hear the radio news it's pretty much the case that the world is in a dire state and everyone's venal / corrupt / victimised / violent / miserable etc et al.  How good to discover anew  a far less skewed perspective on basic, decent humanity. . . thanks to this little forum. Thanks then, Nx for being the restorative that so many with a shaken faith in human nature so greatly need.

And oi. . . don't start blushing.  ;)

WOW .. didnt expect that response!  but thank you.

Dazzler:  Kawasaki is a self limiting illness  .. eg the actual crisis point is limited but there can be several  long term issues because of it.  Primarily the heart is at risk  which is why immediate treatment is necessary to prevent a serious risk of a heart attack.  Long term there are possible issues with learning/behavioural problems and also arthritic issues... not good in young children.   Kawaski is an illness with no known cause & no known cure. 
My son had KS (Kawasaki syndrome) @ 18 mths and we were very lucky .  My son has several issues because of KS but he is just coming up 20 yrs old and that I am very grateful for  ... thats more years than some of the group have had with their children.

Flyyte:   Again thank you for your comments.  I do what I do because I remember being so alone in a time when all I needed was to speak to someone that could tell me that they had been though it and somehow there was light and hope .. not even the hospital could give that at the time.  I was determined that I didnt want any parent or family to go thro that ... and in 1993 the net was just being a bit unaffordable for most. 

Long story short!  I went into a meeting in London thanks to Contact a Family to meet two other mothers and we came out a Nationa Support Group!  Now we are linked with groups internationally, involved with international/national research as well as helping internationally for families to get in contact with others more local for them!!!

ANYWAY this is not the place to put all this!!! :rofl:

This is for ppl to put what profession they are in!

No blushing necessary. Our kids' health is paramount in all our lives. So Dazzler's notion of referencing KS in 'Other Topics', and your willingness to pen a few lines, is an excellent one. I actually thought your website kssg.org was as informative as it gets, so you don't need to reprise it at any length here because people can go have a look for themselves. I for one am very glad I did -- and even more glad, as I wrote earlier, that there are folks like you around.  :goodjob:

Began as a graphic reproducer,
became a scuba diving instructor,
worked for an aquatics based school camp doing snorkelling and diving,
took a terrestrial turn and did seed collecting/propagation of Australian indigenous plants,
worked in disabilities,
moved to Tassie and worked at Cradle Mt National Park
and finally....
ended up in WA doing daily presentations to groups of 200 people about Indo Pacific Botttlenose dolphins.....not a bad gig if you can gt it!  :happydance:

One supermarket.  Perhaps the most soul destroying place to work.

It feels like they are completely separate jobs though because they often conflict, and I work with completely different people.  I get different sets of pay etc, it's all a bit weird.

And I don't fly for a job, I just threw it in there to make myself sound interesting.  I'm actually a rather boring bastard, most most of money gets eaten by flying rather than multiplied.

A lot of you have enviable and interesting occupations.  it's also interesting to see how one kind of car can work for people doing such varied things.  That is if you use your car for work anyway.  I transport stuff sometimes, one of the reasons I switched to an i30 was the space in the rear!

It's great that you have a hobby that you love.
As far as jobs go, I've often thought that sometimes we have to do a job we don't like (and I've had my fair share) to help us appreciate what we do like and to give us something to aim for.
And regarding your comment about the i30 appealing to so many varied people & lifestyles, I couldn't agree more and I've made the same observation myself.  :)

I did have a read up on that, Couldn't believe what i was reading. At our work place if the first job is not perfect it does not leave the shop and we work out why its not right.

Paint these days is generally mixed via a computer and weighing scales. You put in the weights of the tinters and finally add the binders. Then it all goes into a shaker or in some cheaper shops mixed by hand.

You find the colour using the code and because of variations during productions there are whats known as alts. Lets use your new colour as an example. You would have Aqua Blue alt 1/2/3/4/5 perhaps. All very very slightly different. You would use colour chips to compare the alts with the paint on the car to establish which version of the paint is on the car.

Doesn't seem like any of the above applies to the shop that butchered your i30 lol

Thanks 847563,
I would more so if they were a progressive company like Hyundai. I have visited their design studio in Russelshiem, it's very modern & impressive to say the least. So, even in 2003 I could see the writing on the wall, so to speak. That's what impressed me about this model i30. It has euro DNA coursing through it. It's not Asian by any means. Not that it's an issue, it's not like a Honda's style. Japan was losing it's style before the 86 & FJ landcruiser. Hyundai & Kia will grow & grow....

It's  a recipe that works. No doubt the European design is what the world wants but is usually too expensive. The Korean's have managed to capture this and the general public are voting with their cheque books. The other Euro brands can not rest on their past reputations or they'll find themselves on the outer. There's only a limited amount of selling that you can achieve by brand name alone.  :neutral:

Locksmith.
Family business my father started in 1968.
Two other brothers worked with us for some years but now I am the only son still in the business.
Don't have to be at work at a specific time, and leave when jobs allow.
Take home a work van, so don't need to drive the car or ride my motorcycle to work.
Get to see all kinds of homes, businesses and other facilities.

Locked myself out of the work van once.
Funny when it says Locksmith across the side and I'm locked out.
I now always carry two keys.  :lol:

While I've got you. I have a query which has had a small amount of discussion on here with no resolution.
I have a "door only" key (which is actually cut from a Toyota blank) which I use when I go surfing. I hide the ignition key in the car and lock the door with the non transponder key which then goes around my neck in the surf.

Anyway, I got to wondering for no real reason (as you do) if the non transponder key would start the car if the real key was held beside it. I don't know a lot about transponders but it seems they work on some sort of proximity thing.
Title: Re: Let's take a look who we are? Tell us about your job.
Post by: rstnick on October 12, 2012, 01:01:33
Yes, it may work.
All depends on the system.
Careful though, some cars will start, but cut out after a certain amount of time.

On our last Hyundai, an '04 Elantra GT, I had a spare key, just a regular metal key with no transponder, when I opened the door with it the alarm would go off and it was always a pain to try to turn it off.
At least it would get you in the car if you were locked out, or as in your case if you surfing water wont bother it.

We actually don't work on cars.
We cut some car keys.
And we repair some car locks.
A Toyota dealer near by use to bring us all kinds of locks to reset to an existing key.

I can't cut our current Elantra key as it's one of the new types with the cuts in the center and not on the sides.
Don't have a machine for those.
Can get them, but we've kinda stayed away from car work.

I would say that the programmer in me wants to believe that we're prone to logic and the i30 is a very logical car to have, but then the code I've been fixing says something quite the opposite about my predecessors... so I'd say that IT people probably just spend more time on forums? :)

So intellegent people drive Hyundai.  Sales reps seem to drive Audi, and Mercedes means Taxi in most countries?

I work for a company that makes Broadcast Audio / Visual electronic equipment.  I'm an electro accoustic engineer and work in the repair / test department.  We supply and to Sky, BBC, ITV Channel 4 and many other television and radio stations accross the world.  If they need support they phone me as most companies no longer have there own engineers.

By the way, no need to fit shallow speakers in the i30.  I have now fitted Pioneer TS-E1702is in the front and the slightly less expensive TS-E1702i in the back.  I originaly upgraded to shallow fit speakers after reading other posts on this forum.

Hi

I'm a film/television sound-recordist - in the past, I may have used some of the equipment that you service/sell etc...

But on a more serious note, I'm curious about your upgrade choice of speakers and the whole speaker upgrade procedure. Like you, I'd like to upgrade four of the main speakers in my i30 (the tweeters seem to be OK), but I'm a bit overwhelmed by speaker choice and the actual installation process. Did you do yours yourself, or did you get it done by professional installation people? The speaker spacers in the door also worry me, as they clearly seem necessary, but they also seem to be specially made for the OEM speakers and not too mod-friendly...

So, did you manage to use these spacers, or did you have to make/buy/supply new versions for the upgrade? And on your speaker choice, the power handling capacity on the indicated speakers seems to be on the lowish side - are you happy with your choice of brand/model, or, given the inclination/time/budget, would you choose something different if you did it all over again? Evidently the RMS output on the system in my i30 SR is around 4 x 45w per-channel, so I would've thought a speaker with a 60w-100w power handling capacity would be kinda happy with an amp at the RMS I've mentioned above.

What are your thoughts?

Thats it - interrogation over!!  :lol:

Thanks for your time!

I was only 5ft tall when I joined the Mob so it went with my surname. I grew to the average height (5ft 10) but still called Titch. Quite happy with that though. My i30 is the first brand new car I have ever bought. I got it as a company car and saved over £6000 on the new price!!  (tax stuff etc). I have the Style Nav and it is brilliant. I love driving it. My only gripe (and a very small one at that) is that the Sat Nav doesn't use full postcodes. I am hoping there will be an upgrade later this year.

I'm a musician  :whistler:
I play the saxophone. Studied Jazz at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and play in a couple of different bands, plenty of function/wedding work. My next big thing though is to get properly into music producing. Not really the kind of electronic music you might expect from a "producer". But the kind of music producer that squeezes the BEST performance out of musicians in the studio. Jazz, soul and RnB are my big focuses, and have a few projects underway. I have enough gear between me and my business partner to record professional sounding tracks - but as like a lot of things it can be a money pit if you're not careful. Closing the right bit of gear is really important.

I can't WAIT to pick up my new i30 GD Premium in Phantom Black this Thursday (although I'm hoping the dealer calls and says I can pick it up earlier).

Will try to post some pics as soon as I can :-)

We'll see. From the reviews I've been reading the sound system is pretty ordinary. I don't care much for the "doof doof" systems you hear speeding down the streets, but something that gives me an honest and true sound is important. I got some good results in my old Astra just by buying a 3rd party head unit. Clarity improved, volume improved. But in these new cars with very customised interior consoles, I'm not sure how easy that is anymore. If the actual speakers are truly crap then I may look into some options to replace them. But not in any rush to start dismantling my brand new car I haven't even picked up yet!!   :lol:

Hey all,

I thought this would be a better thread to introduce myself in as opposed to adding to the large collection of threads in the Welcome folder.

I work as a software engineer in Fremantle WA. It is a pretty interesting and varied job. We deal with mostly underwater acoustics and recently I've had the pleasure of listening to lots of Humpback and Blue Whales off the coast here.

I'm a little apprehensive about getting my new i30. I have tended to use my current car (99 corolla with 255k on the ODO) for work quite a bit, including loading it up with lots of wet salty gear. The worst was when we were using salt-water activated batteries which I threw in my car overnight after recovery. I didn't realise at the time that as a by-product they emitted Hydrogen Sulfide AKA Rotten Egg Gas. The next morning the whole garage was gassed out.

It took about 3 months for the smell to diminish. Although my wife swears she can still smell it!

Hi Thommo..

I know how you feel. Our 1st i30 (a 2008 manual CRDi) got a very hard life because we were building a house and moving.. I carted around a 1000 second hand bricks and lots of rolls of fence wire etc.. The hard plastics of the FD scratch quite easily.  :(

Well, I bought a hatch for its practicality. The Corolla moved house for me 5 times; brought home washing machine, oven, TV; and made several trips to the rubbish tip. The i30 has big boot shoes to fill.

I am a Warehouse Supervisor for a mob that imports starters and alternators and auto electrical components ie: lights, switches, wire, etc. Been doing it for about 3 years. Before that I was in sales all my life. So happy to not have to serve customers anymore :happydance:.

This is my third Hyundai. Had an Excel from 1998-2003 until it got stolen. Then I had an Accent from 2005-2011 until it was written off. I actually bought the first one because as I was test driving it someone reversed out of their driveway straight into the side of it as I drove past. After the initial impact the dealer looked at me and said, "How good are my test drives, bet you didn't expect that!" I had to buy one after that.

I enjoy fishing a lot and I fish from a kayak no matter where I go. If there's a creek, I'll fish it. That's the main reason I bought a diesel. When I go exploring I can drive for up to 4 hours to fish for a couple of hours and then turn around and come home again. I currently own 5 fishing kayaks  :D after all you need one for every occasion.

Gday peeps, i'mma PV engineer, specialized in designing solar photovoltaic systems. Recently designed a few 100kW systems for some commercial premises, currently at the stage of installation. We just racked up a deal with IGA so you'll most likely see lot of solar panels going on top of IGA shopping centres in the coming years. I'm in the NSW department but we also have branches in QLD and VIC. Not only commercial, but we also do residential so if you looking for something to save your energy bills, I can give you some good advice or even cut you some good deals.  :wink:

On my free time, i like to throw money at my GD i30, which makes my gf mad and jealous most of the time.

I used to work for Energex here in QLD (electricity distributor for SEQ) processing applications for PV installs. It's amazing how many dodgy installers were signing people up without actually applying to Energex for approval first. Quite a shock to the home owners when they've already had the system installed and we then tell them they're not allowed to connect it to the grid without contributing towards a transformer upgrade (some properties were putting in 30kW grid connected systems without getting approval to feed that much back in).

I hadn't though much about equipment to cater for feed in, I just thought it went next door @ 240 v and was consumed locally. Can you provide more detail about what actually happens to the juice and what is done to handle it. :question:

I don't know too much about the technical side of things (I'm not a sparky ;)) but basically most of the transformers that are around (especially in older areas) weren't designed for additional power to be fed back into the grid as well. With the increase in power usage from things like air-conditioners, pool pumps etc, some of the transformers are quite close to capacity as it is. When a bunch of people in the street then start getting large solar PV systems and feeding extra electricity through the transformer it can cause issues. The transformer then has to be upgraded to a larger unit to handle the load.

It's not an issue for smaller systems, but anything over 5kW needs to go off to the network engineers for approval. They check to see what the existing transformer can handle, and if it's close to the limit then Energex will upgrade it, with some contribution from the customer. In some cases that can be up to $30,000! That's why all the paperwork is legally required to be sent in for approval BEFORE the system is installed. A lot of rural properties were setting up solar farms to take advantage of the government rebates and make a heap of money.

That's pretty much what my son who is an electrical engineer and works for a company which specialises in (among other things) power distribution, explained to me recently . I think he also said a simple fix to handle the power going  back into the sub stations isn't far away. But I didn't pay attention to that bit 'coz we're only putting out 2.5 kw/hrs.  :-[

We have a few members on here also who could give you a lot of insight  as to the going ons within the force. I for one , probably try for the paramedic......good wages and not as much violence to attend too..........

Welcome.  I served 36 years in the NSW Police (1967-2003) It is a good career, with good pay and promotion prospects.  Only trouble is these days, you have to pay to train, i.e. pay to be at the Goulburn Police Academy and no pay until you are sworn in as a Probationary Constable.  :Shocked: In my opnion as a Dinosaur that is outreageous.  Things are not as smooth in the Police as they were, many constraints and in house friction.  All other States and Feds you get paid to train.  Also the Superannuation deal these days is not as nice as the one we were/are on, but that is also relevant in many other government jobs. :blubber:

Good luck anyway.  The Paramedics with NSW Ambulance Service  is also a good job, I know a few, but not my cup of tea.

Was planning to get to this point & selling up and pottering around but my kids have decided they wish to carry it on. Too bad about buying me out, they don't have any spare cash so any thought of retirement is back on hold.

I think this is because of it being an online forum, it appeals quite broadly to the technologically minded folk as I have picked up the same thing on other forums. Even the adventure biking forum I belong to (bikes, not something you would commonly associate with an IT fundi) has around 60% of it's members working in IT or a similar trade, and the same can be said for the paintball forum I sometimes frequent :goodjob2:

I think the typical man on the street buys his car and that's it - he takes it in for services and maintenance and never thinks of the vast communities that are out there just a Google search away with a wealth of information available.

For my day job my official title is 'Patient Services Representative' because they had no idea what to put me under.
I'm basically a Medical Receptionist / Administrator for 3 medical centres, doing accounts, sending letters, updating medical records from the National Database, calling people in when they're due for checks or injections, that takes about 2 weeks of the month, the rest of it, I spend designing our reporting system, call quality marking and training and on the very rare occasion I will jump on the phones and even take some calls

Out of Hours I do business accounts for a transport company and run my own part time businesses being Wedding Car hire andan Icecream truck

For my day job my official title is 'Patient Services Representative' because they had no idea what to put me under.
I'm basically a Medical Receptionist / Administrator for 3 medical centres, doing accounts, sending letters, updating medical records from the National Database, calling people in when they're due for checks or injections, that takes about 2 weeks of the month, the rest of it, I spend designing our reporting system, call quality marking and training and on the very rare occasion I will jump on the phones and even take some calls

Out of Hours I do business accounts for a transport company and run my own part time businesses being Wedding Car hire andan Icecream truck
Does the ice cream truck double as a bridal car if you're busy?  :mrgreen:

i have threatened to use it for friends weddings when they find out last moment that the other cars they've booked have bailed on them, and want me to spend half a day grooming mine and because i'm a soft touch not charging them for it.
What bride wouldn't want to arrive in a beaten up Daihatsu truck with 'My Milkshake' by Kelis blasting out the top of it

I once heard a farmer describe himself as a pilot after sitting through a conference where it seemed nearly everyone who got up on stage was a pilot.
He said (in an American accent), "I'm a pilot too. I take the dirt from one side of the fence and I pilot up on the other side."

Retired cop, who bought a new CDRi a week ago with part of my super payout  :)  Now doing consultancy work for some government and private clients.

Get to travel all over the countryside, so the economy of the CDRi will come in very handy!

Welcome Brother, I had 36 yrs in the 'job' myself (NSWP)  Enjoy your retirement, your new Hyundai i30 and of course i30 owners club. :wlcome02:

Not sure what to call myself over the next year. Officially an Air Force Staff College student, there is zero formal learning to be had. My mission is to 'smile and wave', to demonstrate solidarity and comradeship to my Indonesian counterparts in an environment designed to test our sanity. 'Strategic' is very much the case because the benefits will be felt way down the track when the long-term friendships are used to avert undesirable strains in our international relations. The house, maid, car, chauffer, gardeners and guards are not really perks - rather important components to both show status and help keep sanity as compensation for when our military's finest (and somehow I slipped in) are required to give up a year to otherwise engage in futility, where other than building relationships, none of what we do here will matter.  :crazy1:

I know someone up here who also helps him have a job - maybe directly, maybe not - we keep having him on about drinking on the job...

Being he is a wine salesman - I don't know the exact details... but I assume he goes around venues and maybe gets contacted for big events - to show various wines, advise and facilitate ordering of them.

Bloody nice guy - I am usually at an event he is involved in quite close to my birthday.  Three years running they have specifically toasted and sung me happy birthday - because he remembers.



Course what doesn't help him have a job is that my sister is a production planner (for bottling side of things or something) for a winery in NZ.

Haha! Well actually not really. The pokies did not make us rich. It made us realize how many people spend thier inheritance or retirement money on these. The only way i made money ($60) was when the old machines get traded out for the new ones and we strip all the parts out including the coin hopper. This my friend usually had money stuck in the bottom because the big clubs had no reason to worry about couple of dollars :).

It may partly relate to the popularity of the i30 in certain areas. The i30 has consistently been the best selling car in WA, due to a strong dealer network. 

We have had some active members in country NSW at different times, but now "Lakes" in Narooma is the main NSW flag flyer and he no longer drives an i30 (after owning two which he loved)

I haven't posted here in a while but since then I have left my career in the IT industry behind and I am now working for a telecommunications company. I am enjoying the change of scenery as well as the more relaxed working hours, an environment more conducive to calmer tempers and a very big pay rise.

I also have a work vehicle now so the i30 has done not even 1500km in the last four months - a big change coming from my previous annual mileage that was around 25'000km!

I am glad the guy on the KTM stood up to the minibus taxi - it happens very often down here and most people just shrug and go on with their lives. Which is probably not a bad idea, seeing as how often situations like these escalate into violence. I've seen first-hand some of the taxi drivers drive around with pistols in their laps and batons on their dashboards and have heard many stories of people being assaulted by taxi drivers.

The guy driving past in the Hilux swearing at the taxi had me in stitches - you don't even need to understand Afrikaans to figure out what he said when driving by :rofl:

I'm still way too happy where I am now - which really says a lot about the previous places I used to work for.

So more of the same for you? :whistler: 8 posts to go until the 65k mark - get posting!  :goodjob:
