It has only taken a year to get this job but I am so chuffed - the process was pretty tough to say the least!

So..............waddya know about Mackay? Was gonna visit this weekend but have been reliably informed that most of it is currently underwater! :eek:

Luckily my initial training is largely in Brisbane so the missus doesnt need to upsticks til August - I will just commute til then (half and half Bris and Mackay) - after that we will up sticks and move north for good!

Time to celebrate :beer: :beer: :thumbsup::thumbsup:


Congratulations to you!!! Happiness is certainly the best choice.

Hope it all goes well - good luck!

Pfffft - no such luck matey!!!
I'll be getting all the suicidal maniacs throwing themselves in front of me instead! Interestingly, I have had to sign a piece of paper saying that I accept that this may happen and that it is a part of the job! :eek:

Not nice - but hopefully not something which happens too often in QLD - not like the London Underground.

Fingers crossed you just get some hitch hikers like these!:rofl:
