Final hopeful job?

Enlighten me?

Since I wanna be a paramedic but I don't ever wanna do shift work due to being a mother etc and jet being so high maitenence lololol I have gone with my second but just as favourable choice ...

Studying psychology ... Eventually would like to be a criminal (forensic) psychologist.

[Never had any say Panda]

f*ck yeah!

That'd be insanely intense!

Psychology is awesome.. Definitely would keep you interested.. But I reckon you'd have to have some pretty intense barriers in place to deal with that job on a day to day basis..

Anyway on another note.. End of January approaching.. Had to pay all my professional memberships :-(

Seriously.. Some bastard is sitting there going 'oh yeah, I created a professional organisation, now I don't have to work ever again'

Frontline Management...biggest load of crap that ever existed. Previous employer funded that and was putting about a dozen of us through it, I was asked not to attend our sessions as I was making the teacher look stupid by pointing out how irrelevant and out of touch most of the crap they teach you is.

Just go straight for the assessment Fluff and work backwards. It'll more than likely be a warm fuzzy bullsh*t assignment about developing policies in your workplace or something. All you need is about 5% actual content then fill it up with whatever the favourite buzz words and catch phrases are.

It's like Organisational Behaviour at an undergrad level - but even lamer.

f*ck ralph dislike.

There should really be mandatory driving tests for everyone every 5 years

Fixed! People love to forget how to use their indicators, keep left etc all too often.

That pisses me off every single day. Especially the people that sit in the right lane JUST AFTER PASSING A SIGN THAT SAYS "KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING".

There is no hope.

Have thought about becoming a driving instructor instead of an IT guy so I can impart all the stuff that seems to get missed.

Ye I am a lazy asshole anyway tab so For the half of it I've done I haven't actually read the text piece at all

I had to look up a couple things once but that's it

It's all common sense

I just figured that a qualification someone else is paying for is worth taking up even if it's craptacular lol

Steves post ×100 -- except the driving instructor bit.

I will try and say this without offending anyone but I probably still will so I'll apologise now....... I'm sorry

In the town where I live is a farken hell of a lot of 'new australians' and it beats the crap out of me how some of them even get an Australian license. .

As Steve said -- lack of mirror use, indicators or even just looking is too friggen hard.

I know that it's not just the "new" people but there are so many of them here.

Actually I tend to think that given my job im fairly switched on with road rules.. I understand that signs and lines interact etc..

Randomly I got caught in a conversation about road rules a few days ago that is worth repeating..

Roundabouts.. Requirements to indicate..

Surprisingly no one in the conversation group understood that you had to indicate left to exit a roundabout even if you were going straight through and not required to indicate in approach..

Another surprising one was zip merges..

Zip merges are where two lanes become one in a low speed environment and the centre Linemarking is removed..

In this situation the car in front has right of way..

At other merge situations where a car has to merge right over a dividing line that car is required to give way to anything on the other side of the line.

Everyone argues the 'courtesy' rules that apply in those situations.. I completely agree but courtesy isnt a defence for failing to give way when the cops show up..

After the smashing Time I had meeting Gertrude(I swear I'm not making this up) this morning I missed my docs appt. Wifey in all her wisdom points out to me the clinic has walk in apps after 6 get down here and my car is the only car in the car park. Ffs
