I see to many people in the workplace finish a task and say nothing .. Most of the time, those people don't last long...

Can't express this enough. As a manager myself, I praise my staff so much for doing this. It's common sense really.

Thank you Phil!

I have two other potential positions - my next door neighbour said his brother is looking for an apprentice in the next suburb over from me and that if this one fell through to go down and talk to him, and the missus' dad knows a bloke looking too.

I will definitely consider that second link if this first one doesnt work out - its 10 minutes away from home

Cheers mate

Planning to be there in 7 hours and 12 minutes....

And I cant sleep.. again.. ffuuu

Good luck bestie, brake a leg.

I have to be at work in 5.5 hours

Normally I wouldnt mind but its just the fact that I have to be switched on and ready to learn a bunch of stuff. At least im not sleeping because im excited, not because im nervous or anything.

You start at 6?? Screw that!

Up at 5, start at 6, but finish at 2:30pm

Bahaha. I'm up at 430, leave at 5. Start at 6, finish at 2 paid breaks ftw

Usually saunter in about 10, disappear around 4

30 hour weeks ftw!

But am on call all day every friggen day mind you.

Rocked up 7:45.. he got there 8:15 and said not change of plan, not opening til next Monday..

Another week off

"Daniel, dont brush it like youre brushing your dick. Scrub it!"

While cleaning a stupidly filthy dirty set of rims

Good first couple of days!

Sounds like you're enjoying it

Who would brush their dick?

Yep pretty good so far.

Completely different to working at home though. Access to heaps better equipment and stuff so things are faster but its a little more stressful and a bit less enjoyable than sitting at home with a beer in one hand and a spanner in the other but still enjoying it!

I hope you're talking about wheels

Hope your's goes better than mine did - im still looking for another one but i doubt ill get anything soon, people dont want to pay someone more than necessary - half the people that hire apprentices only do it because they have to, and get the cheapest possible person =(

Hahaha yeah. Filthy set of stock wheels, not even mags.. they were so dirty. We used two types of supposedly super heavy duty degreaser and there was still brake dust and grime on them..

Cheers man. Should be right.

They werent actually advertising or anything. A mate of mine who had done some bits of work here and there for him mentioned it to me and said that its worth a go if I went down and spoke to him so I did and it went from there.

The hardest stuff isnt actually doing work to cars its more the business side of things and learning how a different garage to my own works. For example if I was to do the same work at home I could do it my way, where as here it has to be how it has to be. Its probably not a bad thing because Im being taught good habits and all that kind of thing, but as of now Im still much more comfortable in my own garage but that should change over time.
