Cheers
Thanks!
His creativity is low, pathetic
Yea, the thing is mine is all relevant to the jobs I would be applying for. I do have to update some of the stuff but its at that 2.75 page point. 95% being relevant, might be able to cut a little but don't know about 2 pages.
The only problem with that is with BOA I got transferred to the UK, and worked for 3 different vendors all while with BOA. Recruiters eyes light up when they see I worked for Juniper and HP. Even though they were both joke companies.
I'll see how much fat I can trim.
Thank God I still have liquor.

Hey guys.
I'm thinking about moving to aus.
Specifically, here:
Thoughts?
Somewhere in Queensland but need more info. Looks like north of Brisbane on the coast but that's about it.

Very good.
I don't have liquor OR a partner what the fuck am I supposed to do tonight
Stay vigilant, and watch out for looters.
Watch your batteries drain with the rest of us.

Sure, why not? Can't say much about Rocky myself as I'm a Brisbane boy.
Bets on who drops out first?

Stay safe SAGaf. The SMH is reporting there were 130,000 lightning strikes between midnight and 5pm today, and wind gusts up to 104 km/h. They're also saying that power to most of the state might not be restored until 5 AM tomorrow.
Was crazy getting out of the CBD, all traffic lights were out and there were only a limited number of cops doing traffic control at major intersections.
No power for the entire 20 minute drive to my parents place, but when I left there and drove home there was power from Flagstaff Hill southwards.
Got home to lights and heater and most importantly the baby monitor!
Racism?

Yikes, SA-GAF, yiiiiiikes. Hope you charged up your 3DS and Vitas ><
Hey Jintor - first off congrats! Secondly - after living with a legal secretary or two, the one piece of advice I can pass on is be prepared to have people tell you their life stories like, on an hourly basis. These are usually not good stories. They are usually shitty stories involving terrible people. There's nothing wrong with needing someone to talk to to decompress afterwards, and by someone I mean a person not a bottle
Also! 50+ hours left on my Kickstarter, and I'm doing a new stretch goal: a new story called PETER MOLYNEUX STOLE MY TAXI AND IT TOOK ME SEVEN YEARS TO GET MY REVENGE!

Might check out Brisbane for a few days soon. Managed to meet a local that lives there and I can stay for free. Such a nice offer. Would also allow me to visit Gold Coast which should be nearby (right?), and get #44 of the t-shirt collection.
Anyone from there with tips to do/see would be appreciated. Meet up would be great too, ofcourse. Your call

Brisbane is cool. Fortitude valley is and interesting place with plenty of bars and restaurants. I never liked the gold coast. Its very touristy and i imagine the food there isnt great apart from a few select restaurants. Just like darling harbour. Its all over priced and mediocre

Yeah less then an hours drive.
Go to the beach, just make sure you swim between the flags.
Hard rock is in surfers paradise which is the tourist hub. If you went a little further south down to Burleigh heads there's a great cafe called paddock bakery. Also very pretty and you can walk along the coast line.

I lost phone signal by 7pm. I can live without power for a bit but damn not being able to call anyone was horrific. Didn't come back on til 4am.
Our signal was a bit all over the place.
Mostly stuck to FB Messenger to keep up with the family.
Some got power at 7.30 like us and others had to wait until early morning.
Work was fun, 5 different people asking you when the server will be back up the moment I walk through the door, and then hovering around while I'm standing in the server room making sure it's all turning on properly.

Gold Coast is definitely close enough, but it's honestly only good for the beach and a few nice walks. Heaps touristy and bogan from my experience. Brisbane, on the other hand, can be really fun. The local music scene is heaps mad. If you're wanting to check out local gigs or just want a nice night out and meet people, check out Society of Sound's website for weekly gig updates.
I'm heading north myself actually, to Yamba for a week! Just went past Coffs Harbour, so we aren't too far off now. Anyone been?

You mean you didn't abandon your family, head out while there was a natural disaster, and make sure the servers were OK and primed for when everyone eventually returned? Shame on you.
Someone at work mentioned that they overheard one of the lawyers asking why I didn't come in at 2am when the power came back up...

Sounds good, will keep it in mind. Only "need" to visit Gold Coast for the Hard Rock t-shirt, anyway.
If you need a travel buddy and if there's a train that takes me further I'd happily join.
Having good fun in Australia so far, despite the few setbacks of not being able to find a job and a shitty hostel. Just need to get back on track and start again.
I keep on sending applies and call companies which is all you can really do. Visited some places in person as well. I'll get something sooner or later, I just believe that and stay positive.

Must have been a crazy night for SA-Gaf, hope everyone's okay. That said, I thought this was worth a share as it slayed me: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1193000917424723&id=446681375390018

Saw that this morning and had a good cackle.
Power is holding out so far. Can hear the weather acting up though. Pray for us.
The dam the next town over flooded apparently.

I bet this thing is gonna end up costing more than the Labor NBN...

I thought they already admitted that!
To be fair (I feel sick sticking up for these clowns) Labor's NBN was going to cost more than they said, and they had already negotiated to give Optus 800M for the cable network, the difference being Labor was paying compensation to Optus (whilst decommissioning the Cable service), the Liberals had plans to use the infrastructure.
The whole thing has been a complete shambles, and will all need to be upgraded to fibre anyway before they complete this mess.

Need certainly. I just dont see it happening. I think that was our one chance and its done now. People, especially those outside capitals or who are not rich will be stuck with node or wireless bullshit.
At least the extra cost would lead to a fibre future, not the current shit show.

and those with telstra cable will simply be stuck with cable /P needless to say i wish they would hurry up with docis 3.1 i already no g fast isnt worth a damn atm really at least as far as there implementation gos
i guess it will still be a wili before we see telstras HFC network open to other markets - if at all
Never said anything to the contrary, just stating facts
And yes, we would be in a much better place right now. I was (in the original plan) meant to have fibre installed by the end of 2013, they did half the work, now the NBN says my area is in limbo and the most I can hope for is Telstra Cable NBN.
