Plans employment wise is through Unisys working on their immigration and border protection contract. Just providing general IT support, I'm currently working with them in Sydney and they are letting me transfer.

We have been looking at places in the north side where we used to live so around Casey and Crace as well.

Unisys, on the Defence desktop support contract, was the biggest mess I've ever had the amusing displeasure of being a part of....though I'm 99% sure it was entirely due to the immediate management structure, or lack thereof. Too many mates in "Team Leader" positions, one of which directly reported to her husband.

Workplace domestics between an employee (team leader at that) and her manager were simultaneously hilarious and extremely disconcerting. Mostly hilarious though. So maturity. Many professional.

Much better where you are though I'd assume Dan, lol. You're actually driven enough you'd have f**ked off after a week if it were the same :P

Yeah Unisys is a walk in the park compared to iiNet. Looking back I don't actually understand how I stayed at iiNet for so long. The good thing about Unisys is that I'm getting experience on an actual IT help desk, rather than the general network troubleshooting I did at iiNet.

Hopefully within a year or so I'll be able to sort out some kind of manager or team leader position in Unisys or another company.

Good stuff on getting the place in Crace :) especially with those added bonuses haha...I'll be looking to move Gungahlin/Belco in the next few months. Starting to get the shits with Queanbeyan, what with being just far enough out of Canberra you more or less NEED a car to do anything. The shithouse road quality is driving me insane as well. Most roads around town, including the arterial ones to get the fk out of this place, feel more like derelict rollercoasters.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
