The Carbon Tax has hit Australia. We are now being taxed for breathing! Watch as life becomes completely unsustainable in Australia. Watch as all our companies are crushed by the added burden. Watch as Julia Gillard laughs her tyrannic head off as the money comes in, not caring about the 20 million PEASANTS (because that is how she sees us) that are going through poverty because of her.
My application process at V/Line is over. They rejected my application after the latest test. Now i just have to worry about the position at Metro, which I should hear about in 3-4 weeks.
In an earlier entry, I revealed that the Australian suburban rail company Metro opened up vacancies for the next generation of train drivers, and I applied for the position. I discovered that an old friend from high school had also applied for the job, making the process much more interesting! Last night, over two weeks after applications closed, he said on social media that his application was accepted. I hadn't heard anything from them at all, so I feared I had been rejected. However, whe
Pros: stays true to the original, more captain interaction, graphics are improved but still true to tradition, new Pikmin species Cons: Rock Pikmin? :/ They'll take some getting used to. What else I'd like to see: more Pikmin species (particularly those pink flying ones on the title card, and what the parastiic Pikmin that infected Bulborbs in Pikmin 2 really look like), what happened to Olimar (he's not one of the pklayable captains in Pikmin 3), what happened to Louie, the President's real
My "What Bionicle Characters do you want as sets" tally, which ran from December 11 2010 to March 5 2011, is now a dead topic, so I shall post the results right here (those with a * are multiple-of-a-kind in the story): Sisters of the Skrall* - 6 MU Robot - 12 Makuta Kojol - 7 Makuta Tridax - 5 Makuta of Stelt - 3 Toa Helryx - 25 Toa Tuyet - 15 Toa Orde - 12 Toa Chiara - 12 Toa Zaria - 12 Toa Varian - 6 Lariska - 21 Dezalk - 1 Tamaru - 3 Kotu - 2 Johmak - 3 Jerbraz - 5 Phantom - 4 Baterra* - 1
After making a recent post, I suddenly noticed I had 3 warning points against my name. Panicked and confused, I had a look. All it said was I had one warning point. I looked under "More Details", and the PM I got from McSmeag when he gave me that proto boost was staring back at me! :/ Completely confused.
So, I decided to go on eBay for the first time in a while, and I found I didn't regret it: I found THREE sales for Misprint Kanohi! One for the 6 misprint Ruru (60 GBP), the 6 misprint Matatu (60 GBP) and one for a blue misprint Kaukau (20 BGP)! The seller is called teresaslegos. She is the best seller on eBay for Bionicle sets of verying rarities, especially full collections! VERY highly recommended! The Misprint Kaukau: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RARE-Colour-Kanohi-KAUKAU-Mask-Highly-Colle
I just noticed we can add "entry images". I might have to do that later so I have proof. So, yesterday I went on yet another meetup with some friends from my Pokémon family, to attend a Trading Card Game Battle Roads in Geelong. I had to travel from one end of Port Phillip Bay to the other, so I got up very early. On the way to the station I saw a possum! Even though I live in Australia, possums are nonetheless a very rare sight, especially in my area! When I got to Southern Cross station,
Metro, a company in charge of electric trains within the Melbourne metropolitan area, has begun hiring trainee train drivers! Now I'm torn between applying for this position, and sticking with my conductor role at V/Line! What if I apply for this, and then get both!? I'm still studying a dual award, so it's gonna be hard to juggle 2 jobs and 2 courses at the same time!
In entries past I expressed my interest in working in the rail industry. Something I didn't mention (I haven't got a clue why) is that I applied online for a position as conductor at V/Line a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday I got an e-mail saying my application was accepted! THAT made my day! Today, for the next part of my application process, I had to do an aptitude test, which was divided into a verbal test, a numeric test and an error checking test. I had to answer a series of questions i
Tomorrow I do a train trip to Box Hill, and the Alamein and Glen Waverley train lines. I'll also take the opportunity to apply for work at Metro, the company in charge of electric trains within Melbourne. Sadly, they recently axed a lot of jobs so I'll probably fall flat on my face, so I have a lot of backup plans ready: other places not involving trains where I could apply for work. To this day I have never worked for money despite my age, and I fear I've become too old for part-time work, an
Once again, I am at a loss for what I truly want to do for a living. I'm the kind of guy who is a jack of all trades, master of none. I'm good at a lot of things and I have a wide variety of interests, but I'm not GREAT at anything. I could continue my current pursuit of game development, which has interested me on and off for a while. My recently-developed love of reading (courtesy of Greg Farshtey, obviously) has inspired me to try and get back into writing stories, and I can tell the stori
It's been revealed that Eevee is part of the main Pokédex in the coming Pokémon games! I have therefore decided to get one of the games, and do a proper Eeveelution team! At this stage idk which game I want though.
...since I went Premier. I still remember posting my age-old Good Friday joke here exactly a year ago today. That joke was based directly on what I thought Good Friday meant when I was very young. I thought "Good" Friday meant you had to be good all day.
So, I bought a ticket at Southern Cross and asked about getting a job at V/Line, and the rep just said to go to the V/Line website, which I had already tried. I should've asked if there were any other ways to apply, other than via the website, especially starting at the bottom. I then waited for an hour and a half for the train to leave, during which time I watched the XPT CountryLink train leave for Sydney. The diesel I went on was an N-class diesel with N-class carriages (see pic below). Whe
Tomorrow I go on a diesel train trip to Shepparton. That's when I'll do the job application at V/Line. My dad printed two resumes yesterday, so I guess I could use the second resume to apply at Metro too. Metro is in charge of train services within the Melbourne Metropolitan area.
I recently found that I literally have an addiction to the Internet. I've heard that such an addiction is as bad as various other well-known addictions (none of which can be mentioned here), and from my experience I say it's true. My addiction has been having an effect on my entire life, from my social life, to my study life, to my financial life, to my personal life and even my overall work ethic! In other words, my addiction has made me lazy. My addiction started two years ago, with online
Wow. Wow. I feel old. When I was a kid in Boy Scouts, we used just used compasses. GPSes didn't even exist. I feel SO. OLD. Anyway I'd like to see bassist and drummer figs so I could make a complete band. Source: Collectable Minifigures You Want To See Was expecting him to say "Guitarist"! Or do we have one of those already? That makes two of us. This old fart didn't even KNOW today's Scouts used GPSes! I bet the group I was in doesn't!
