I'm late on seeing this but it seems to be a case of bullying by many which is and will never be tolerated on our forum gents.

Don't care if your a moderator or good friend of mine I don't want to see this behaviour on the forum.

Bullying, definitely not. Singling out one person, definitely not. Some choice words written, yeah ok you got me in that on. But I will say one thing, people need to loosen up and not be so bloody serious, it is after all only a forum where people come to get info, have a chat, help others and gave a bit of fun/banter. I agree some posts should and have been removed, there are others that have been removed that maybe wasn't called for.

Fair enough mate but there is a difference between "fun banter" in jest between forum members and bullying.

I get picked on all the time in jest and I know it's "fun banter" I actually enjoy it to be honest as long as when I give it back you don't sook ;) but...

There's a select few who understand "exactly" what I am talking about here in crossing the line of what seems "fun banter" between the "other" members, but the posts directed to the person in question have become more sinister.

No argument there.

Just overstepped my mark in pointing out to several people and not one person in particular that I thought they were acting like dicks in a particular thread.

Evaporative cooling went in a couple of years ago, but d!ckheads on days have it flat out with all the doors open and does nothing. Split system in lunch room where I had to jump up and down before we got a new one put in.
I wear my thermal top during winter, at least I know that that always works.

Fully respect the balls it takes to dry sow. Was driving through the Mallee a couple of weeks ago and the farmers were all out dry sowing and I thought about the money they were pouring into the dust and dirt based on the chance of rain. Most folk don't understand the risks these guys take. On the other hand if farmers don't dry sow they'll probably go under waiting for a good season.

have found it helps if you dont eat or drink after about 11pm, if its really bad try gool ol' splash of red wine, lemonade and a beer

[jay see]

MMM beer...
Don't think I have any at home, but I do have some red. Me thinks a glass or two is in order after work, then sleepies.

Slightly off topic... Did you end up getting no that promotion at work, is that linked to the new shifts? I recall mentioning that you had a work van / ute now?

I'm pushing 20 years if this shit.
Luckily for me the most I do is 3 nights straight 36 hours and all weekend, then a couple off.

I did do a full week, 7 nights 84 hours once, only once fark that was hard.

Used to love working nights.... 5pm to 4:30am Monday to Wednesday, 5pm to 1am Thursday..... then a nice long weekend...... also did 2hours a night overtime for double bubble. Money was great too, normal pay for the first 8hrs, time and a half for the remaining, then the double bubble...... never did overtime on Thursdays though.

[Clunk]

Shift work on the rigs wasn't too bad either, 1st week days, 6am to 6pm, with overtime if required. 2nd week nights 6pm to 6am..... then home for 2 weeks

Hey mate. The original promotion I was possibly going to get gave me a full time vehicle, 4 x 4 ute of several options. This is where selling the 4.2 was a consideration, if things went down that path. Which they didn't ...

HOwever, I still do standby / callouts / night shifts for 2 out of 8 weeks where I have a work van for the duration. Which is what I completed today thank fark ! Beer o'clock...

Trouble is after the 2 weeks, I'll be awake all night tonight and sleep tomorrow .lol

PS I'm not allowed to post here any more for next 6 weeks.

I feel bad though..
Monday night I left the night shift blokes with a farked bearing on the 60" chipper..
Could smell it all night and we checked every gearbox, belts etc etc..
Didn't even suspect the bearing as it had only been replaced 2 months ago..
Farked their night though..
200mm shaft bearing on the end of a 1.5T chipper disk..

Bloody stupid night shift life..

Finished work Monday morning and have taken my only 2 work days this week off. Kids home and trying to get this packing all sorted. So that gives me the whole week off.
Packing side of things are slowly moving along, but fark if I can get a descent night sleep. End up falling asleep around 4-5 am and then I drag my sleep deprived ass out of bed around 10.
No motivation whatsoever and end up to bloody bugged to do anything.

This nights is pissing me right off
They have been juggling jobs and people for years know.

Sales have gone from nearly $40M to a forecast of $13M for the next financial year all in less then 10 years.
There are people who are happy to go with a package and some are happy to stay on. So I don't see a problem....

Sorry for the rant.
Probably could've gone in the angry thread.
