Covering for someone else that is on holidays.Getting too stressful and had 48 jobs in my queue. Normal they sit between 20-30.Others have 15-20 jobs in their queues, but that is because they get the easy jobs.when they can't get a job done, guess who has to do it. The go to guy........anyways I have applied for leave and will have the 19th and 20th off...... long weekend. cant wait.When you back in Town Dan? maybe organise another cruise? did that reduce your stress levels or not?I am assuming no, because you went to bed late.

Who has a job available on the mines for truck driver or something to that effect.I have HR license. maybe that is what I need. change in scenario....... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that if you have an active brain you will go stir crazy driving a dump truck in the mines.. I always wanted to be a grader operator.. Be like icing a cake.. Imagine how smooth and awesome I could make the haul roads.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more of a task/chore to put food on the table.I don't get paid enough to put up with this sh*t that I have been dealing with lately. I know that driving a truck, I would most probably get paid more as well which means I could do more to the XR6T.What would you do Luke? There is no way to move up in this dead end job as the IT manager ain't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The work is no longer inspiring but the pay is good,hours are flexible,location is convenient etc etc so I'm at the suck it up and get on with it phase.I have an interview tomorrow for a role over the production side of the fence but i'm wondering if i'll be going from the frying pan into the fire if I move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
