Congrats on sale mate, I hope he looks after it!

Just pet my dog before heading off to work #didolife

Do they get paid as well as you lot

Well thank you, glad you found them useful I'm at a point where I don't really need to think about this stuff because it's all second nature to me; I'm very rarely unhappy with my lot in life with this constant outlook. It doesn't sound like you need those words though, you sound pretty well sorted, and kudos for having the bravery and initiative to do something to improve yourself! Too many people get to a certain age and decide "I am who I am" which I think is just the worst excuse for people to act like dicks or settle for less from themselves. There's no reason we should ever stop learning and no reason we should ever stop trying to be better people

My perception of you these days Bank error in your favour collect $200 School tax pay $150

I have mental health issues, but I've been able to turn most of them into positive outlets because I believe there can be good in everything and life is about how you play the cards rather than what you're dealt...just have to find that good and channel it in your favour. I'm also proud of what I have because it shapes who I am as a person, gives me a unique and memorable personality and makes me very open minded - I wouldn't have it any other way! I think it helps to be an optimist from the get go and unfortunately some people can't see a positive side to everything like I can, so I do consider myself fortunate in that way. It can be near impossible to convince others to think this way, though I have a couple of rules of cold hard logic that help me to achieve this: 1. Spilt milk doesn't clean itself and neither does crying over it. So get started on cleaning up. Tackle problems one at a time, bit by bit. You'll eventually wear them down to nothing or a more manageable size. But you have to make a start. 2. Life is too short to worry or spend down in the dumps, fk letting anything or anyone make my life shit. Why should they get to enjoy it and I not? 3. Anything is better than limbo / non action, do something, do anything, even if you don't feel like it...you might be surprised. And most important of all... It's not the end of the world. It never is. Step back and look at the big picture, then see the problems for their real size in the scheme of things - usually pretty friggen small!

I don't think anyone is hating on FIFO? They just doing a devils advocate article warning people it's not all it's cracked up to be, which is only the other side of the story that we've been hearing for years, i.e. jump ship to WA and you can make a shit ton of cash. I say just journalists looking for a story relevant to modern times cause FIFO is often talked about and everyone knows someone doing it; I doubt they have a personal vendetta about the subject matter. I said it before and I'll say it again, there's a reason people doing the work get paid a lot of money - it's not cause they were lucky enough to stumble across the greatest job in the world. More power to those who work it and feel it is, though.

You make it sound like he was forced to work FIFO? Regular appearances, even if less time spent with the kid overall, are more important than the long absences in his life - this kid has the equivalent of divorced parents with custody visits because he was away for 4 weeks and then spent 1 week with his kid. Also keeping in mind his kid probably had school or kinder too, and also keeping in mind most people's jobs aren't farmers. You can take time out of a regular job to see your kid or attend events if you have to. FIFO you're stuck there for weeks unless it's an emergency you have to fly home for. And he obviously didn't have enough time spent with his family for him, hence he necked himself. I don't see why there's an argument when the article that was posted here was full of support for the notion that it's not the kind of work a family man should be doing, and that even single men should be careful about their mental stability when pursuing that style of work.

Price?

But a colleague ain't one

Errbody got problems And as for FIFO

How am I putting it in a category with old mate who played a high stakes game of midget tossing? You just did that, not me lolAnd yes. If he committed suicide because his child died, he is to blame for his suicide. A man is his own actions. Life can be downright shit at times but you always have a choice in how you play those cards. Even with a gun to your head you have a choice to fight back or resign yourself to death. Don't mistake this for me not feeling sorry for the guy in the article, I do, but I refuse to look past the fact he put his own personal issues and suffering above those of his kid and entire family...and that he couldn't see a way out. He's either selfish or a dumbass or both...I do think the latter. The depressed and the dead need not be sacred and exempt from the harsh truth that is some people are not fit for this world. Truth be told a lot of people are kept alive by our attempts to combat evolutionary theory and "survival of the fittest" with things like centrelink etc.

Got some email the other day from DM about a whiskey tasting day, 40 "premium" whiskeys for $25 a head and a free glass.

It is selfish. Mental issues or not, the kid has no father now and this is a direct result of his father's actions. A man is his own choices. Who can you blame but him?

Why not Most basic principle of bring a parent; be there for your kids

Special kind of stupid too. Keeping in mind the intellect of some of the people these high paying but not necessarily high qualification jobs are going to attract...prolly not the type to see past the short term depression and focus on a long term future or benefit. Just quit the FIFO and have a go at work back home like everyone else, before hitting last resort. I say if you had a kid you shouldn't be working FIFO in the first place; dumb shit.
