haha right, touchy subject aye erin.

Well thers one particular guy at work who constantly calls me a hoon.. And when I showed him a pic of my car hes goes "Shit.. that exhaust would be loud" I'm like... err no.

He kept going on about it (he had the $16000 machine) so I said "For **** sake, pick up taht stupid machine, come with me and we will test it" he goes "ok"

So off we went (undercover carpark I might add so it was resinating off the walls) and he tested it.

Then he goes "Ok.. maybe its not loud" I said "I'll accept your apology shall I?"

Erin - finding the public service full of bitches that cant do anything for themselves as well?I used ot work at car dealerships before this

[NismoGirl]

Uhm. I work near the personnel area. They just whinge and bitch about each other all the time. I just sit and listen and laugh.

In my area, I'm the lowest ranking (AO2) I get along really easily with them. They are all AO6 - SO1, so they are all mature and don't bitch. We swear, muck around, joke. It's awesome. I love them but unfortunately I"m only temporary so I *NEED* a permanent job to keep my car.

I don't give a shit about other bills. Just my car

Whats a car dealership like?

I don't really want to go into a real estate type area.

I really want to work somewhere with cars. Either a car dealership or a mechanics or distributor. Anything to do with cars.

But, because I've only had public service experience where I dont know much of the dealings of a private firm, no one wants to give me a job.

Are you having major reforms in your public service jobs over there like we are here??

[Nizmo]

im only temporary too! contract runs out on the 30th June - so im in the same boat

[Guest 87vlt]

man my links aren't working ... I need to find somewhere to host them ....

[Nizmo]

Yes! our dept has merged with another dept meaning the mass slaughter of jobs

Um car dealerships - seedy lifestyle and shite pay! Fun atmoshpere tho.

[Nizmo]

i used to do fleet management for the govt! now that was a Sweet job love fleet management! but with the merger the position no longer existed and i got shifted to a different one that im not enjoying!

[NismoGirl]

Haha.. I'm only employed till the 30th of June too... Our area isn't included atm. Only personnel and finance. It sucks hey. But for someone in my position (and i suppose yours too) I look at it like for 1) they still have a job. 2) they have more opportunities and 3) its a great way to meet more people and network. I really don't see why people are going home crying everynight and going out on stress leave. Is this the situation over there too??

I just want a job. If they want to leave and get out, I"ll have there job.

Maybe we should start up some type of Female Skyline pimp business

I'm not allowed to sit on the net all day but. That's not fair!

I've got email access that is scanned for everything so I can't sit and have email convesations. It sucks.

[Guest Boxhead]

hrrmmm, erin - you think its hard with no private employment history, what about with no employement history period.. no one wants to give me a job

[NismoGirl]

Michael, I have a job and 2 and a half years experience to go with it and I still can't get a job. And I work for the government (particularly with all the security requirements).

I said to my boss at the moment at work "****en hell, I've got a job and experience and I still can't get a friggen job"

Most of the time I think it's because I am employed atm and the company can't be bothered going through the whole waiting period for me to leave my current employment and start there.

[Nizmo]

yours gets scanned erin? hmmm i know we've got systems in place we're allowed the net and email for ltd personal useage but with some of the stuff the IT guys send me - they would be fired if it got scanned!

Yeah people stress here too - hehe one girl gets blood noses - ok not funny for her but its such a wussy thing ot have!

[Guest 87vlt]

hehehe IT guys can get away with murder ....
