G'day everyone,
My name is Mark,I'm a 50 year old plumber,drainer,gasfitter,water plant operator etc, etc! I joined expat in January but thought I had to be ex sevices or ex something to participate.I'm here now to see if I can gain knowledge,information or just new mates.
I am a dinky di Aussie as they say,just moved from one side(eastern side)from Rockhampton to the west Karratha.(4000 odd k's)
Was a foreman/supervisor in Rocky,but 60-70hrs p/w for 60k just was'nt paying the mortgage,the mrs, happy and comfotable and allowing me to me. Now a contract plumber in Karratha,$43 p/hr flat,not bad but hours just aren't happening.Plus 2 broken legs at 17 are under pressure,in and out of trenches etc,600mm concrete pipes don't know what I was thinking but cant last at the cranky old,inpatient bosses pace.(excuse me he;s only 58, HA)nice bloke but thats why he's got the money,i suppose.looking to share my knowledge and experience via the brain more so than the braun,maybe even get another 20 years or so. instead of 10 the way i'm going.
Hope this is'nt boring you.
Maybe a job teaching, instructing or supervisory would set me onwards and upwards,instead of where I started age 16 in trenches.
Anyway blokes and shielas if this is a bit over the top let me know,I can only get better.
All the best plumb.
