Started back at work today after a 6 month break, without pay for the last 4 months, didn't qualify for Jobkeeper. Working from home to begin with, then a return to site when required. I can get the travel exemptions, but they are single journey only, so if I return to Vic from QLD, i will have to quarantine for the mandatory 2 weeks again - not that keen on that scenario, so will see how long I can hang off heading to QLD, as it will mean I am stuck up there until the QLD opens the borders.
Fired up the computer just now, 723 messages downloading, god its started again! - looks like 80% are from the motherhood brigade.
Successfully replacing the handbrake cable on the EB Falcon after a bit of drama...
I had the new cable fitted and used a torch to identify any sharp edge that could cut it.
I Found a couple of places, so removed it and put all parts in the D/S footwell.
After filing and bending the metal on the handle assembly, I fitted it to the car.
After a quick search, I couldn't find the end that joined the cable to the under car lever.
I pulled all the tools out of the foot well, lifted the carpet, searched under the seats, took all the stuff out from under the centre console and retraced my steps to the workshop.
No sign of the bloody part. Fast forward half an hour... I had even used a magnet to try and find the part in hard reach spots so I was thinking about ways to make a new piece.
I gave up looking and went to pack up the tools but when I picked up the torch, I found the part stuck to its magnetic base!!!

I think my son was really bored today.
He asked if he could put together the smoker. That's one job I don't need to do.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2020/09/93.jpg

Guesstimating they’ve done a few Hi-Viz top pocket cycles too as I’ve been missing them dearly for work as bluetooth noisey truck cab alternating single earpieces.
Fingers crossed.....Sushi Time :-)

You should be good. My son had them in his pocket when he jumped in the pool. This is the same one that washed his phone under running water because the screen was all dirty.Quote:

took the patrol up to the grampians yesterday. nice to get out into the bush, no one around which was a bit surprising.
found a nice little up hill to give low range a wake up, nothing high country style, just a nice little warm up.

We actually had a bit of 'free from lockdown guilt' as we travelled around.
Looks like my FIFO days are over for now, Covid 19 and QLD travel restrictions have killed off any possibility of returning to site in the immediate future. happy to stay in Melbourne now, and the funny thing is 'as one door closes another opens' - well I have been headhunted for a role with BHP so maybe this will turn out for the better. At least I will be home on weekends and free to get out when we are all released.
That sounds exciting Phil, maybe a change is as good as a holiday as well????
What is you do again???
I am a Mech Engineer, function in the Project Management arena delivering Capital Projects, up to 50M AUD typically.Quote:

He’s working on a critical government contract and they don’t have any qualified Qldlanders that can do his job.Quote:

I have the documentation from the VP of the company stating i am an essential worker, however the midget is over-riding that by saying you can't come because there are other PM's in QLD that can do your job. This is not an accurate assessment by a long shot, however the management on site don't have the balls to challenge him - unbelievable. Further to that, they have had a shake up of their site leader-less team this week and all those recently elevated well beyond their next level of incompetence are in tailspins about such things as changing their email signatures and whether they will get a better seat allocation on the shuttle plane. My new 'el incompetento' has a 3 month transition plan into the role, however the guy he has replace has vacated the role instantly, so no decisions.Quote:

Cheers Phil, ah yes company politics. Decisions, decisions, all the best with the new role. I'm sure you'll make the right decision.

Thanks @MB, but I can't believe I actually opened that link to find the original - was expecting more of your wizardry old chap. Time will be upon us all soon enough to get back to normal. The strength you need is patience. I have plenty of patience, but a very low tolerance for incompetence and dickwits, so I wait. I am looking forward to that s/c screaming its guts out across a clear mountain track, hopefully I have the skills to hold onto the beast!! - 20 yrs old and bulletproof again.Quote:

I run things differently. Everyone knows a bit of what needs to be done, so who ever is free does the next job. I just let the most experienced person on that job know and ask them to keep an eye on them. I will pick up all the small turn around jobs and over see what everyone is doing.
All the other team leaders 5 other departments are happy with the way I do things. If I can't get to something to them I'll let them know and we'll work out something. Rather he does a different order or I give him enough to finish and the rest later.
I've been a 2IC for a long time most of it a my previous job overnight. I was employed at my current job as that and told that I'll walk straight into the team leaders role once the current TL retires. I think I'll got a little under 2 years to go.
