Telstra called me about 2 months back trying to get me to recontract... I'm 6 months out of contract with a $49 business cap that is working completely fine for me... BUT it's only got 1gb of data... Doesn't really bother me because it's bugged and excess data usage gets absorbed into the $550 of included value :P

The guy on the phone was about 70yo... and he kept saying how he used to work in finance... like 5 times. Good for you buddy, you're working in a call center now though, arent you?

I said to recontract they'd need to increase my data to a usable amount, at no additional cost to me.

He said it wasn't possible and that the best option for me was to buy an ADDITIONAL iPad Contract which came with XXX data/month for only $60... I kept asking if I'd be able to use the data from the ipad contract on my current phone and he kept avoiding the question. So I kept asking if I would be paying more on my phone plan each month than I am now... his response was:

"Your phone plan will stay at $49/month..."

"and how much do I have to pay for 4gb of data on the iPad?"

"Only $60..."

"On top of the cost of my phone plan?"

"Yes."

"So my request was the best option to get a bit more data than 1gb on my phone without paying anything more per month, and your response is that I should pay $109/month for additional data which I cannot use through my phone at all?"

"Yes."

"You should look into a different line of work... Finance clearly didnt work for you, and neither is this..."

*hangup*

Call center staff will say anything for a sale, but this guy was just retarded...

Was also trying to tell me that the Kogan Prepaid Mobile with 12gb of data/month for $199/year wasn't resold through the telstra network... *sigh*

/ragerant

Edit: Oh, that was a lot longer than I planned it to be... on the plus side, it's now past 5pm... HOME TIME BITCHES!

need chemical engineering job.

need electrical engineers.

We should start our own engineering firm. SAU Engineering. lol

oh. why you learning SQL for that?

I just need to run SQL, the server.

All the software developers and programmers at my work are like silent, don't even know they exist fark working in their room

Fuck that. We're the loudest bunch. Plus we have all the candy and Lego. Also... your office has rooms? dafuq?

f**k that. We're the loudest bunch. Plus we have all the candy and Lego. Also... your office has rooms? dafuq?

Well they have their own little area / room bit together yeh lol

They do have lolipops and jelly beans but thats about it

you'd be surprised at how little some engineers get paid. you'll also get annoyed at how many businesses write "Engineering" on the side of their vehicles and on business cards who "engineer" stuff, but arent "engineers". like the way you could say McDonalds "engineer" the way their burgers fit into those little boxes (good old days of cardboard rings and manual wrapping, so you knew if the burgers were getting smaller, as oppose to not knowing cause the box makes that difficult). you'll also feel sick when you see people with number plates "NGNEER".

in saying that, you dont need a degree to be an engineer. and i kinda roll my eyes when i meet graduate electrical engineers who have been employed and do rotation for 2-3 years and not actually do anything or contribute to the business.

Meh, simple fix, just refer to yourself as a professional engineer. Anyways engineering is nothing special. You end up becoming a specialist in your field which limits your chances of managing/running a business as you lack the accounting/finance/relationship management skills.

Not saying its impossible, comes down to your personality and street smarts to climb out.

Doctors/lawyers specialise in their field but get paid a packet because they deal directly with individuals.

should make a SAU garage cafe harlem shake.

Leigh you can put on your helment in an empty GC in your bintang singlet haha

haha I'm game, you organise it with the staff there for next meet :P

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
