Sad??? Don't complain, be a man and do what you have to do.

Seriously, I would happily leave a kid back for a few weeks for a break from him/her... As long as he is staying with your parents, don't worry about him. Just focus on your job and making money.

Hey I understand,
Not that I have a kid but it's something we can imagine. You still have soime time before your 6 weeks out, so make them count! And you know, by the time you're actually up there for 6 weeks, it'll pass really quickly. Normal to be a little upset, just don't let it eat you!!
Plus, if you applied, means you want that, and part of you is already commited to do it.
Anyways, hope it's a great opportunity for you and your future life

Every person who has worked, been fired and had to find a new job wrote:Go to where the work is.

There, words to live by!

So, I never really caught anything before this, but did you have to "know someone" going into this place? I'm just kinda wondering how you went from a beater job at a restaurant, to a *~$25/hour engineering position that quick.

*Oh, edit nvm. I missed your work hours there. That's quite a long week don'tcha think? I do ten-hour days and it's still a PITA.

He must plan on bringing his cannons and strongarming people for their paychecks!!! So, what was on the list of things to bring??? Dont forget the anal ease!!!

no cannons allowed,

12 bucks an hour? Jesus things must be bad over there, job I'm starting Monday will be a bit less than 25/h before tax, and the hours are way better... Must just be a country thing.

working 12,14 16 hrs a day? isnt alot ? are you kidding me? what are you working 18-24? a day?

12 bucks an hr is amazing for a kid my age, plus i get paid on my time off?

I agree, 12 dollars an hour is alot for a kid just getting outta high school. Its hard to find a job period, nevermind at 12 an hour!! I make 25 to 40 dollars an hour depending on the job, however, I have been framing and roofing a LONG ASS time!!

ill be glad with 1000 bucks a week!!!and all benefits included beat mcdonalds

atta girl, if you say so!!!

take some pipes from the company and make us a awesome spud gun XD
(dont cuz its illegal)

I was simply saying it's different, for a 12 hour day here for someone just out of school you can get 25/hour for CBH (grain), more on mines. I'm taking a gap year and doing some work for the shire in the meantime, pay rate is about 23/hour + benefits. That's just how it is in Australia
