Security installer, I service alarms, cctv and access control systems in Home and business.
I used to install, which meant climbing into extremities of roofs, trying to make something out of a shit house quote from a cowboy in the sales department that doesn't know what they're selling, teaching people that alarms have evolved to be quite fool proof *sigh* nowadays etc.

Now i Just service, which basically means driving around and changing batteries all day. Most faults that come up are end user problems, today for example we had a government agency that somehow deleted thier own user code and wondered why they couldn't arm the alarm up *smacks forhead*. Every now and then we get someone that has lost picture on thier cctv cameras, so you look under the desk and they've unplugged the power supply or something. No common sense with most people.
Don't get me wrong though I love this job which is why I've been doing it for over 2 years, pretty much since I finished school.

So yeh I'm on the road all day, I've been with my current company for 2 months now and on the road for 2 weeks, so far i'm crunching 200k's a day in a crappy mitsu express thats damn thirsty (300k's to a tank on a good day). Makes me wonder why I feel like driving on the weekend really.

I'm working temp as an Evidence Processing Officer.  Which means I process Redlight and Speed Camera Pictures.  It is very repetitive, sitting at a computer all day, doing the same thing each day and I'm almost certain that i will not be doing this for very much longer, just not sure what I want to do.  And before you ask, no I can't get anyone off fines, it is a very long process, each image is checked my 3 different people.  I can't even get off fines!!  And i have proof, I got 2 speeding fines last week!! 
I'm also a qualified Nurse, and have worked in Hospitality ever since year 10 at school.  My last job i worked in a pub in South Melbourne, absolutely loved the job and the people i met, but hated the owner and bar manager!! 
Everything in life happens for a reason, learn by mistakes, and for god sake don't do them again!!

Grandma's boy is a great movie.


I'm a programmer. I work for a company that makes software for fast food shops etc.. We do POS software aswell as all the accounting systems that go with it. It's interesting enough to keep me going and the workplace is very casual.

Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.

No, but they think the TRX is hilarious.  Shittest car in the carpark by far, although the best is probably an accord euro or a mazda 3 SP23...

They somehow found out I had another car (some of the boys).  Showed them a pic of the bluebird and they reckon it looks alright!

Most of them hate commodores and falcons and love 'lines... full sik uleh! :D

Sounds frickin' awesome! Thats like... a dream job!
Hook me up!
From what I've heard QA testing is like being an apprentice programmer. You're not getting paid to sit there and play a game and enjoy it, you're going through looking for programming errors and documenting them all, making sure they're replicable and everything. It's not a finished product you're playing, you're running a program that ISN'T finished and will keep crashing/locking up etc. etc.

Feel free to correct me, Asephx.  :P
Current mods:
ANTRX.com KA24E Stage 2 ECU chip (5kW)

... that's about all.

You are right SAIUN, work is work... Plus you don't get to pick the game you work on, so I'm not sitting there playing COD4 or Gears

But most of the guys in the games industry are pretty young and easy going so there is a fun element to it, especially if you are testing a multiplayer game. There are other perks to the job too like cheap games, free lunch and beer, claimable items at tax time

Itd be a sweet side job. Just record any bugs you see in the game, eat pizza and drink beer.
So ya could earn money all day at a normal job, then come home and earn more money playing video games, hehe.

hehe yeah its not from home. The developers in Melbourne are mainly in the CBD and its really good money so you dont need to work 2 jobs. The problem is when you find bugs all day at work, you start to notice bugs in every game you play at home too hehe
