Hey DD. Keep the poo under control. Welcom Scot and Kym. When I first joined this forum I had had no experience with computers at all. All the encouragement I needed came from the fellow GN's. Now I'm not quite so useless!!! As was previously said....don't wait 10 years to start tripping around. We feel semi retired now altho we are a few months away yet. We have travelled the majority of the top half of Australia over the last 15 years and have still worked at the same job, so it can be done. Just plan your trips around whatever time you have available. Whether they be long or short trips does'nt matter, just as long as you are enjoying it.
PS. "The Boys" are really harmless.....unless you need surgery!!!!
Cheers Dellie

Justine, really. no

Sneaking in like that, and from pommyland as well!! biggrin

I do hope that at your young age that you're not altogether grey confuse

Are you indeed nomadic?

Go on, be brave and tell us a bit more about yourself on a thread of your own.

Do remember, though, that 'extracting the urine' is a time honoured Aussie way of greeting friends, so don't let feral ducks, flat top flyboys, Bunbarian belligerents, saw doctors and the other assorted no-hopers, get under your skin.

They pick on me too, hence the avatar. biggrinbiggrin

ah I remember night shift, I did ten years shiftwork in the port pirie smelter, go to be a blue hat ( a big knob in common language)

I hated every bloody day of it, everyday I went in and clocked on I swore would be my last, we had our second kiddie then who was born with cerebral palsy so I had no choice but to continue, but by hell you'd never get me back in there

it is said shiftwork shortens your life by about ten years!

The constantly being crook I can relate to...Whatever ailments my patrons have I always seem to catch from swine flu to whooping coough, just to name a few over the past 25yrs of doing the same industry.
One would like to think they would stay away with their disease but alas not the case.
I do feel they believe alcohol to be the cure for anything.

Ahhh the joys of babysitting drunks.

yep the shiftwork knocks your immune system for a six, when you are not physically ill the body is so run down you "feel" ill!

I attended many seminars as "the shift boss" of the refinery and industry is well aware of this problem but refuse to do anything about it
