I'm a communications officer for the plod. Hours suck, money isn't bad & it's a secure govo job.
That's alright, 8 hr shifts aren't they? I used to do QAS comm's - 000 calls and dispatching. glad to escape the room!
RE: what do you do? - 2wheelfreak - 03-10-2009
12 hour shifts, wouldn't do it with 8's, would have to work twice (almost) as many days if they were 8. lol
Yeah some interesting calls at times, used to be called offensive names by pissed idiots & aboriginals.
RE: what do you do? - Missy_Moo - 03-10-2009
ah 12hrs. Yeah I do 12hrs +++
Used to do 12hr days and 14hr nights in comm's till they changed the roster & said nobody works more than 12.
On road its a laugh, 12 hrs..... have gone for up to 16hrs on trot, & without meals.... long days those.

Estimating Manager for an Engineering consultancy. Parsons Brinckerhoff.
Just started with this crowd last Jan. That's why I left Melb & moved back to Brissy.
It's all good so far. Very employee orientated company. Very flexible company too. Suits me right now.
I'm planning to stay with this lot a while. They are an international company with offices all over the place. The good part is that they don't believe in people being "based" in a specific office. If I wanted to I could move to France & do my same job out of the Paris office.

I work in Telecommunications within an operations centre. I work 8 hour shifts including weekends. Hate it but it pays really well and allows a certain lifestyle.
What do I want to do?
Work my backside off for the next 10 years, pay off our house. Move out to the country where have can buy a nice block of land. Wife can work as a teacher and I can semi retire by the age of 50.

My first real job after paperboy and stablehand was a Fitter and Machinest with BHP. - 4 year appy and 2 yrs on machines.
I joined the Air Force and stayed for 21 years which was brilliant and loved it.
Managed to travel around the world for free.For most of the time was a Network Admin /Comms controller and ended my career as the Training coordinator for the Information Systems and Telecommunications school at Wagga Wagga.
Continued in civvy street as a network admin and help desk operator for an aluminium smelter for 8 years.
A short stint as a locksmiths offsider - this was real interresting.
Now I sell steel - structural, merchant and plate. Cosy 9 - 5 Monday to Friday and its cool.
