Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Not today but on the weekend.. With all the stress life is throwing my way I thought a couple hour blast on the Thruxton was in order. It’s been about 4 months since I took it out. Seemed really slow to start, heaps of battery and cranked fine but didn’t want to fire. Finally got it going and headed...

Re: What are you doing today ??

Had a cold day, and it killed my starter. Maybe leaving it on the stone bench wasn’t the smartest idea.

Take 2 😂

Re: What are you doing today ??

In other news I got too much FOMO with everyone eating hot cross buns when I can’t (yeast intolerance) even though I used to love them. Searched for sourdough versions but nothing available locally. So researched making my own sour dough versions (which i can tolerate) and am 3 days into maturing a ...

Re: What are you doing today ??

Few drinks at home after a very full on week. Bringing an Autistic teenager down off the edge is consuming. At the same time have been working through a list of obstacles to Byron being at mine full time while I’m still offshore, and removing a lot of them. Including securing $14K a year of funding ...

Re: What are you doing today ??

Well that was a short swing. Having to fly home early again, the ex has managed to cause Byron to meltdown majorly again. He’d barricaded himself in his room and said if he can’t go to mine he’s going to run away. So heading back. Going to have to work out a way for him to be at mine full time. Hopi...

SWIM and colleagues discuss that regularly, just as fantasy of course (wasntme)

And yes, though it's falling apart on its own these days

Re: Work

I take it there's no one at at HR you can talk to you get a better picture for the next 12 months? Nah, this is all down to Operations. HR have zero clue or effect on when we'll wind up. Nearly all the long term core crew guys out here are feeling like me. That's what makes it worse, the moral here...

Re: Work

the really bumhole part is when they bought our facility our redundancies were paid to them as part of the settlement, as our previous owners had a very generous enhanced redundancy policy. The current owners pride themselves on being a "Low Cost Operator" and their redundancy policy would...

Re: Work

Redundancy was slated for Aug/Sep. Production end February (now) and 6 months decommissioning. Byron finishes school then and also turns 18. As soon as he's legally an adult he said he doesn't want to live with his mum. I wanted to be around to help him transition into work/tertiary study. He's not ...
