My cousin is in a similar situation, already a registered nurse however shes been doing the Midwife upgrade course which entails having to do (x) amount of deliveries and they dont get paid for it. She only has 2 more to go thankfully, cause like you guys, her family could really deal with the extra cash (or paid work instead of unpaid work in other words)

Pretty rough really, hardly a surprise we don't have more nurses. What dept does Tracy work in at WCH ? Thats where my cousin is based...

-D

Yeah the last 6 weeks have been BS as far as finances are concerned. How the fark does TAFE expect people to work for free for 6 weeks?

Tracy works in the Rodgerson Theatres (Emergency Dept).

^^^ BAH - try your missus having a baby and having a total of 1.5 YEARS off - plus copping around $5k worth of expenses in tests, ultrasounds, delivery, hospital stay on top etc etc. AND try and service my mortgage on one wage ....

Well thats what I was saving my Long Service Leave up for. So I could take time off work (paid) and use a combination of time off and LSL paid out, to finance having a baby. Unfortunately, thats not happening for us. Tried IVF and it just so expensive. With the wedding coming up and Tracy not being paid for working those 6 weeks ... I've given up on the baby thing now. I'll be using my LSL now to go to the IOMTT next year. 17 weeks worth of paid time off ... woohoo!

Got a Staff Review meeting with the bosses this week. Will be asking for a bigger bonus and/or part payout on the LSL so we can get back on our feet quicker.

Hey, thanks for your moral support at the 'wrecking yard' the other day too Jenna ;)

Heh - I wasn't much good for anything but standing around and offering a tool here or asking questions there... It was still an interesting day to watch you guys working on stuff. If I learn something from it, I'm happy.

I love working on cars (like a lot of IT people, I've found), and I read a lot on doing things - but I have little confidence in my knowledge, so I try and get somebody experienced to guide me when I'm unsure. I also prefer to tackle things I'm familiar with - general servicing isn't an issue (fuel filter, oil filter, oil change, etc - did a complete service on my N14 SSS recently which involved a changing of the timing chain tensioner - but, I got in help on that one :)). Either way, a snapped accelerator pedal was not something I felt comfortable with - one of those things that if you attempt to fix, and can't - you can't drive the car anywhere to get it fixed. Thankfully it was RubyRS4 to the rescue :bunny:

Ruby - did you have any luck recovering your extension lead today?

Anyway, it was good to actually meet some people from the forums and put faces to names ... Hell, I am an SAU:SA member ... Maybe I should drop down to villis on a Friday ...

I've ended my night at Strats way too much.

I was there at 6:30am the other week... it's so awkward when you walk in and you find half your mates in there, too haha!

My mate got kicked out after touching one of the strippers. The best part? My mate is a girl! She's a crazy one.

But Strats is feral. I was playing pool against 2 strippers there the other week - one had braces on still and looked about 14.

There was one girl dancing on the boardroom table next to us, on the outide she did look pretty cute but she was probably more thrashed out than a P platers R31.

      Very slightly as there are bars connecting both sides of the ramp. The only difficulty that I had was doing the gearbox, everything else so far has been ok
