Had a company in the other day to update us on sailing the Whitesundays, free trip there as well, just have to get myself up there:thumb

Another nice view on Maria Island

DoNkEy - November 18th, 2003 at 01:28 PM

buzzbug - November 18th, 2003 at 01:33 PM

jenz58 - November 18th, 2003 at 01:38 PM

Ouch!!!!!:o

DoNkEy - November 18th, 2003 at 01:42 PM

physcho - November 18th, 2003 at 01:42 PM

Unity-28 - November 18th, 2003 at 01:43 PM

The best thing is that I can be on here all day!

GO on Skewy, I know you want to call me a slacker!LOL

N!


62deluxe - November 18th, 2003 at 01:45 PM

I'm a fitter and turner at cadbury so lots a chocs, and lotsa foreigners on arvo shift!:cool:


squizy - November 18th, 2003 at 01:51 PM

Working from home is an absolute bonus. I can dial in and work anytime I need to, and balance out personal time in the day - until the mobile rings of course.

It makes for a great work / life balance. Gives me great time with the kids and my wife, and permits me to do work up until anytime in the evening. I try and keep all my meetings for one City visit per week.:thumb

Squiz......


Starbug - November 18th, 2003 at 01:54 PM

ummm... free pathology? i guess you could say thats a perk seeing how exy path is.

actually, i think the best part of my job is getting to see all the lumpy oozy broken bits of people, i.e. cancerous kidneys, crushed legs, brain tumours, huge testicles and uterus' that look like aliens.
used to make me feel sick but now i find it so damn interesting!!

you may now feel free to be sick. :D


amazer - November 18th, 2003 at 02:49 PM

oh go on, rub it in to the unemployed. :P

My first job was my best job. Fitter at BHP Stainless (RIP). Loved doing friday afternoon/nightshift doubler. Work flat out till 8:30. Kick back and open some beers and watch the footy on TV. Go to sleep till 7 the next morning. Same thing I would be doing if I was at home. And get paid double time to do it. Wont ever find a job like that again. Unless I get involved in politics.


Doug Sweetman - November 18th, 2003 at 02:54 PM

I got sent around the world twice, to new zealand and to london (4 trips total) in less than 3 years as a maintenance engineer at BP :)

Best part was being able to take some holidays whilst overseas on work and do a contiki tour of europe !!!!!


BiX - November 18th, 2003 at 02:55 PM

DoNkEy - November 18th, 2003 at 03:06 PM

Hbbear - November 18th, 2003 at 03:46 PM

The company car:thumb
The free ADSL internet:thumb
The nearest boss being 350k away:thumb
Being outdoors (except when on the net!):thumb

Having to actually schedule work into the equation:mad:


vw54 - November 18th, 2003 at 04:19 PM

Havin a great workshop where we can build anything...


SKEWtYpe3 - November 18th, 2003 at 04:29 PM

i have three jobs

1. Bakery - free cakes, breads and pastry till the cowes come home, and it aint no brumby's shit, its quality stuff ! And all the sweet chicks i work with !

2. Functions - Take home beer/wine and chat up the drunk chicks. I had eyes full at the races i tell ya !

3. Coffee Agent - Work for my self and heaps of ace drinking products !

but i dont get to jump out of planes.......


Swampwitch - November 18th, 2003 at 04:44 PM

Well Skewy and Psycho - I'm with you. I work in a wholesale bakery so all the free cakes, pies etc you want. The only disadvantage is eating them, I am sure I just have to smell them cooking to put on the weight. Oh and after you have worked there a while you are so sick of the stuff you don't want it anymore.


KOM123 - November 18th, 2003 at 04:58 PM

Having a boss and mates that work next to you and don't say anything whenever you fall asleep at your desk :D


jenz58 - November 18th, 2003 at 05:08 PM

buzzbug go see 'Adrenalin Rush' at IMAX if you possibly can!!! It's all free falling and base jumps!!!:o It's a rush just watching the film. Pity I hate heights so much, but love planes

Skewy best bakery in Oz, it gets my vote... Jackman & McCross up in Battery Point Hobart!! Their stuff is to die for....:thumb

Wouldn't mind perks from there!!:cool:

Visit it if you get down that way, you'd love it!!!


twoguns - November 18th, 2003 at 05:13 PM

the job i had gave me free overseas trips. i went to usa for 16days. the biggest actually factory tour was the jim beam distillery. it took all day. the next biggest was the official ge tour. it took 3 hours and the prodution line was like 3 miles long. a big high light was bumping into the KKK in louisville, htey wre in town for a convention, and going to daytona 500 qualifying. also went to china, have a great photo hangin off the side of the great wall. germany, uk, singapore, amsterdam, taiwan, thailand. all free junket tours to 'promote' manugfacturers produx.

was a lot of fun all of em.


twoguns - November 18th, 2003 at 05:20 PM

foudn a pic. this was achallenge for the best photo. as all you saw was people standing in front of things and all stiff and stuf. so i said if the guards did not have guns i would hang off the outside. well the guards had battons so out i went. didnt expect it to be like 6 or 7 metres high. but was worth it. the photo was taken by one of my counterparts in QLD.


Riaan - November 18th, 2003 at 05:29 PM

Umm sitting in class and listning to teh teacher:P


Menangler - November 18th, 2003 at 05:34 PM

Hey Buzzbug, that jump out of the plane looks like a safety jump into a swimming pool!.
No perks with my job, just don't work weekends and Friday is 12.30 knock off, the rest is crap.


Miss Piggy - November 18th, 2003 at 05:37 PM

The only good thing i can think of with my job is we get a good price on our meat!!!!!
