Congrats!
But you will have to tell us what it is eventually, or we'll just have to guess. And there's some pretty sick people here.

Alllllright then.... I had a choice between 4 on, 3 0ff at mobil.... starting at 5am or 2.30pm and finishing at all weird hours and not seeing my bubba for minimum wage... or working 5 nights at pak & save doing night fill... for more money, getting to ride, and seeing my family...
not bad for a qualified spraypainter with a advanced diploma in system development????
who cares... It is worth missing out on the almighty $$$$ to have family and riding time
I'm stoked..... might be able to own a house one day!!
let me tell ya folks.... It aint ever "money, money, money"
it's stability.....
money??
[edit]
the neighbours might have taken offense to the Duc leaving at 4.30am... now they get 10pm and 7.07am
I like bikes
Nice work that man. As long as you are happy, its all good. Full marks for telling your last boss just what to do with a sh&thouse job

I'm sure some of you have seen the list of jobs I've done... here's another....

on the up
Good on you Mike for putting the family first. I work from 7am till 3pm. It makes all the difference to the little ones seeing their Dad more often.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

You will need to break out the ear plugs and make sure that sleep time is indeed sleep time to be treated as if you wern't there.
If you don't the family will wish that you had the mobil job. I'm speaking from experience. It's a major mind shift getting used to night work that the whole family needs to get onboard with or it won't work.
Small children don't understand that dad needs to sleep, but- cause dad is here and I want to see dad..... Works much better with older children.

I put labels on plastic bottles and on good days I just put them on the conveyor and the machines do all the real work. Though I do deliver the milk to stores and such, but I don't get to meet any lonley housewives that way.

I see what you're saying... but I did nights at Kenworth and Freighters when I was painting.... so I'm used to stuff like that... mates are worse than kids...wanna drink all the time
Slower than Ixion
Congrats Blackamin.
Having that balance between family and work is more important than money. And hey you've already GOT the duc, what need you have for money (besides petrol and tires... oh and drinkies... oh and... ).

If you're working nights, the missus won't be impressed if I DO bang on the door at 2am, yelling something about Ducati's, Yamaha's and beer...hehehe
Mate, you really do have your priorities sorted, I'd do the same for sure.
We must catch up sometime, will give you a yell soon,
Forum whore

Any job were you can see more of your family and ride Ducati's more has got to be good , Shift work isn't that bad either (Been there done that|) Wish you the best with all of this.
