Cant decide between tf700 or nexus 10

Or just wait another 6 months.

I want the pure nexus experience but with the tf700 bells n whistles

there's something about asian women and their steaks...

+1

The mrs has the gas bbq going 3 times a day with ribs, steaks, sausage, lamb chops..

Going to an aussie butcher is up there with shoe shopping and handbags

But i get vacation as well. 28/28 + 4 weeks annual.

How does that work on an even time rotation ?...

Every 2 years i can take 3 months off. Basically just skip a hitch.

Would rather they just incorporate it into my salary.

You live at work.

That's why we get R&R instead of vacation.

Who cares really.

But i get vacation as well. 28/28 + 4 weeks annual.

God my job sucks

Coming in on a tourist visa I guess, so technically Thailand is not where you live, but where you R&R.

So where do i live then if i work 28/28 and work flys me to work overseas and then back to thailand?

My mrs smashes tabasco on everything

Thailand is nothing compared to Australia and australians.. thats why i live in thailand.

Hang in a sec.. err

Bugger

Its not corruption its commission

Life wasnt meant to be easy.

For some reason there is alot of pizza restaurants there. Cant remember the name of this wine bar / pizza restaurant owned by a foreigner.. wood fired oven.

Had this dog called 'findus' a border collie. The waitress was very proud to tell us that findus was the smartest dog because he went to dog school in phuket.

Findus would supervise the thai pizza chefs from a second storey vantage point.

Sorry .. too much talking about a dog. Just finished night shift on the rigs

Surprising..I got 6 packages..4 days from Australia to the bangkok post office where I picked them up.

Postage was $90 each though

Ha ha. Imagine living your entire life like that. Clutching your bag close to your chest. Fearing the worst.

Reading forums and taking it as gospel

... kp is expensive though.

Why dont you look up instruction video on applying make up

Nadimos is excellent. I used them as part of the catering for my wedding.

Brunch sounds interesting.

Alot of people just find the industry isnt for them. Most field jobs are manual labour.. and hard at that.

Either shift work or 24 hr on call.

Stress when a rig is costing $1mil a day and your holding up the whole show cause your equipment is broken or someone farked up.

If you feel sick, there is no 'taking the day off".

Angry people, wierd people, nice people, back stabbers... your all living together for along time.

If you didnt get paid it would be called prison.

Going home today? Wife happy, your even happier.. waiting with your bags to get off.. sorry, your relief hasnt turned up, quit, or there isnt anyone available.. you gotta stay back another day or week.

One person gets sick.. everyone gets sick.

Turnover is high.. but entry is difficult.

You can have my job. 27 days to go of this sh!t show

Not even hump day yet....

Winning today, 3 days down time...

Looks like it's turned into ebay weekend

How much is BIG time?

Not me na krup

I got a mate who is fluent on Thai just from hanging around bars.

He just speaks broken English and adds 'na krup' to the end.

Easy

Hope TC comes back telling he bought an imported german car.

Try to be more interested in actual "oil gas" jobs.

If I had realised before you were just looking for a safety pusher or folding underpants in the laundry kind of job

I never would have bothered posting all this info

Like mentioned earlier in this thread, look at third party contractor jobs in your local country. You can get your foot in the door and move about later.

Its expensive to get a new hand trained up and certified just to get him/her offshore..

Most companies wont take that chance on a greenie.

Dont waste your time doing any "oil preparation ' courses. Just a scam.

First aid is handy.
