This building has topped out so it’s like the final floor has been poured and the roofs on pretty much

They always have a mad party when this happens, I’m hyped

We’re gonna do four hours tomorrow and everyones stopping work to have a mad party it’s gonna be sick
It’s a good time for it, we all got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday off so that’s heaps of time to recover ahaha

Haven’t been to one in a few years but usually after a couple hours everyone’s drunk and the bags come out, you see cunts smoking joints in the stairwells and shit

This is maybe a bit old school but they got these strippers coming in, too, like a full show
That’s a weird one hey cause there’s heaps of ladies that are tradespeople too
They’re not getting in boy strippers for them or anything

It’s gonna be sick!
[close]

Lethal haha

The boss used to take us to the titty bars after a big roofing job in Darwin. Leave work early on a Friday and get pissed for free. Magic.

Fuck yeah, Darwin’s mad ay
Did you ever go to railway club? It’s this sick bar and beer garden in the suburbs in parap they get bands play there and stuff, saw cosmic psychos and dune rats there

The waterfronts real nice too they got this oyster place they do all diff types of oysters
Sounds kinda suss on paper cause the raw ones are best but they do this one that’s fried in panko crumbs
If I I ever win lotto I would get an apartment at the waterfront area there just to go chill for holidays

What’s going on, fellow workers?

I’m back from El Paso and back on route. Its good to be back for the time being. But, while I was gone someone was driving my truck and they fucked it all up, left trash all over it, and who ever was on my route while I was gone did a dog shit job and I’ve gotta get it back to how I like it.

But we did get new uniforms and they are hella comfortable. I also took some before and after videos of the mess that the dude running my route left me. I’m not going to lie. I enjoy my job because I get to see the results of my work immediately. You’re not a bootlicker if you take pride in your work.

Be safe out there y’all!



Here’s the before and after from two toilets I’ve cleaned today of the 76 I have on my route.

Ahh I didn’t wanna say this, comes off asshole but cause it was Melbourne cup yesterday we had the Monday Tuesday Wednesday off work all paid

Got pretty messy over weekend but I been pulling it back the last few days
Sick little holiday though



I’m posting this off one of those Balinese day beds

Should probably get up at some point and mow that grass and clean up a bit

The bro’s kelpie pissed on my shirt just now so I had to wash it the piss off and it’s drying on that chair

Gotta go to work tomorrow but it’s already gonna be Thursday so just two days and weekend again

But I reckon I got fucked over there like an admin mistake cause I live in Brisbane but working down here, I couldn’t be fucked complaining but other mates got the Friday off too for the show day holiday which was supposed to be in August but cause of lockdown they cancelled the public holiday and said we’d get it after lockdown

This jobs pretty flat stick anyway so it will be good to get in for two days this week and get some shit done

That’s sick @Freelancevagrant

I rate those long uniforms it gets a bit hot here but I think they look heaps more professional

I just wear short shorts like ruggers and those canturbury short shorts haha
Only get the longs out in the middle of winter
Sun fucks you but, I wish I was just used to the longs

A few of the bro’s are high voltage electricians for power plants and train networks and they all have to wear the longs all year and special shirts underneath
Apparently you just get used to it

Their skin looks heaps better than mine haha, the sun fucks you after a while hey

I rate just blue clothes hey, heaps of cunts make you wear the high viz now but all the stuff I buy for myself is just that same blue colour you got
Sick cunt!

I will never understand why people need to be fucking disgusting in portopotties. I spent decades using these on sites, and at no point did I think "Hey let me fuck this thing up for the next guy" Always take pride in your work, and respect the work that others do around you.

@matty_c Dude fuck yes!! In a lot of ways I’m pretty similar, but I’m just a big dude with no lisp and a mullet and I drive around listening to hardcore punk all day. I watched the trailer for that a while back and forgot to tell you how much I fucking loved it and can’t wait to see all of it. I think that dude does a great job of showing what this job is like, you’re doing a thankless job for people that do thankless jobs. But it’s job security, every day is different but still kind of predictable, you get to see your hard work that not many people would be willing to do, and you’re not micromanaged unless you’re seriously fucking up. I love it. “You’re a glorified turd burglar!” That’s what I say to my guys all the time and I call my truck the turd bird hahahah

@Seventyfuhkinseven Dude I don’t get it either, but for some reason people love just demolishing them. They love shitting in the urinal, puking on the toilet paper, shitting all over the seat and on the floor, and throwing beer cans, towels, underwear and all sorts of shit in the bowl. I sucked up a towel yesterday a few hours after that post and it clogged my hose up. I had to fix it and I got shit all over my new uniform. I bleached myself of and bathed in hand sanitizer until I could get back to the shop. It can be rough and it’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it.

I have to go shopping for new work boots tonight, something I hate doing.

I can buy 5 pairs of shoes in less than 10 mins, but when it comes to work boots, I spend at least a solid hour and a half trying models out and don’t look at the price.

These are my most important work tool, I’m on my feet at least 40h/week, and since I’m a mechanic, they have to answer to certain norms regular operators don’t have to.

 I hate the ones I currently have, I’m sure they aren’t helping my back pain. I had ‘em last way too long for something I don’t like. Can’t wait to throw ‘em out.

Probably going to set me back a good 250-300$

Seeing that I don't know much about this man, I figured it would be appropriate to work it into my boys schooling today. Thanks for the inspiration @matty_c

i feel like i'm out of the workers club, since i cut down my bar shifts significantly.

then again my brain hurts daily because i'm trying to wrap my head around maths and physics now which is pretty overwhelming. it's sick when you get a eureka moment for something you've been struggling to get right. studying is dope, but it's pretty exhausting, too. i wrote about 20 pages down into my notebook today, all maths and physics calculation. most of the stuff i have no clue about yet and we are expected to figure some stuff out on our own or at least try and fail and then do it right. i've been having migraines and shit from excessive studying which seems pretty ineffective when that leads to me missing courses. my compulsive and manic behavior coupled with excessive procrastination due to anxiety and feelings of inadequacy left me as drained many days as i felt after overworking at the bar(s). i have to figure out a different and more productive mode of studying, just need to figure out how to manage my time better.

my next shift is tomorrow, and it's at the nicer, more chill place. love my coworker, she's so cool. i reckon it's gonna be a fun shift.

On the one hand I'm grateful for a reliable and non-stressful job. On the other hand it's extremely boring, I don't make much, there's close to no personal fulfillment in any way, and my co-workers are very annoying to me (they're fine, we're just very different). I really want to get recruited to another position because fuck looking for a new job.

no sweat, dude. none at at all. just figured I'd ask!

I feel you on the mountain roads. I was living at this spot off a forest service road, 4200 ft, and it would get gnarly once the snow came. Dudes went off those cliffs driving wasted every year, even when it wasn't winter. One night its snowing like a mofo and we're all sitting in in the Quonset hut when our neighbor, this Russian/Canadian dude Boris, comes in. He says his truck is hanging off the edge of the road. I'd just quit drinking and am the only sober person in there- everyone's drinking or eating some funny medicine. So me and this dude Ricky Ball, who was an engineer on a fishing vessel out in the Bering Sea most of the time, take a quad out there to see what's up and this kids brand new Tacoma is fucking dangling. We got this tripping boat mechanic trying to winch this shit up to a tree and and I had to convince these fools its a bad idea. if we tried to winch it up and slipped on the ice, which was inevitable, we were all down into the river bed. I don't know how that dude survived that shit to be honest.

I got some swat boots the other day, real cheap. If you aren't actually toeing anything in, and just need the caps, they are super comfy.

...or was it? jk

My first time on a forklift was 6am unloading an 18-wheeler with a whole crew of day labourers standing watching me. Like a bad dream where you give a speech in front of the school in your underwear.

Nice one.

When I worked in a grocery store, I once dropped a pallet full of 12-packs of Coke cans from the top shelf of the warehouse, a solid 15-ish foot drop. The pallet was all busted up, crooked and badly taped, I should have never picked it up.

The mess it made... Jesus Christ.

Coke everywhere in the backstore in the middle of an afternoon rush. My manager was so fucking pissed at me.

Never got forklift certified but I’d probably do something equally disastrous if I ever had to use one.

Put in bathroom stalls on a coast guard ship today.  They’re plumb and level now because the ship was tied up solid.  No idea what’ll happen to them once it’s bouncing around on the high seas.

I love operating the forklift. It seemed really frightening at first but it's pretty intuitive and feels natural for me. Only thing i don't like unloading is pipe. Fucking giant bundles of flexible slippery sc40 in 20 ft sections, nightmare shit. I've done it in the rain and that is a new kind of hell. Sorry to hear that you had an accident on one @Paul Cicero . That shit always sucks and adds stress
