as I said your obviously a smart bloke, just chase the tafe and f*ck off he sounds like a bloke u really dont want/need to be associoated with. Try group training aust, I use them because I can send the fuktards back and keep the good ones. Its generally a 5-1 ratio (5 fuktards to 1 good one) The building industry is going to be rooted if we dont start getting good guys thru. Thank f*ck the rates have been going up otherwise we would have no one. Remember 12 months aint long to go and he can make your life difficult when it comes time to sign you off, he can say that your not compentant and hold you for another year.

Don't forget it's an employee's market at the moment. If group training is not an option then I can't imagine you'd have too many problems finding something.

All the best with it

When's the ute arrive?

Mate - Call Richard Flannigan and Co.

They are doing a lot of work for us and are always looking for sparky's

Let me know how you go and if need be I can give them a call

Thanks heaps guys,

Put things in perspective, I'm still getting a pay cheque at the end of the week, I bought a new ute, I'm in a new place... so things are not that bad, but I do agree with everything you said turtle33

Thanks for the lead Blonk, I wont start hunting yet as its still not safe for me to start making waves when my paperwork is still behind... about 3 weeks time I will.

Tab - Still no frigging date yet on the ute... really sh*tting me. Going in there tomorrow to take my personalised plates in so I will have another crack at him... dont trust salesman

I'm really busting to get my hands on it, one of the guys I work with ordered one about the same time, but his was a in stock '06 model so he got his on the weekend, bastard!
