Longest Job?

[Possum]

Geez and i thought i was doing alright after 18 months! My best performance before that can be measured in weeks, some jobs days and one job an hour!

Out of curiosity...(and i'm aware of what happened to the cat!) what was the job that lasted an hour?

[fireyrob]

An accountancy role... After that I left the industry... Need I say more?

Yeah Region 24 is Datmouth, up in the Mitta Valley (vic)... bout 50km east of Wodonga
Each town in rural vic has 1 or 2 trucks manned by volunteersand are issued a region number. I was most active in the 2003 fires both as a CFA volunteer and registered Red Cross member... while doing both these jobs i also held down a fulltime job at the time. Going day and night for about 6 weeks...

Longest job would've been my apprenticeship - so four years as a sparky for Powercor.

Rest of it has pretty much been 1 year stints - spent 2 years in the mines and now I'm at Melbourne Airport and have been here almost 2 years.


Might be time for a change soon!

Any field tickle your fancy?

[Benno]

Each job I've worked in, it's been as a sparky!

Tossing around the idea of my own business. But not sure at this stage.

Professional F1 driver or MotoGP rider is a bit out of reach I think!

Possibly something in haberdashery ?

[Benno]

Probably not. Especially if you're around, you'd fuck it up royally!
