Work..........who does what???

[Derek Bullock]

I am a Manager in a Correctional Centre in Queensland although am currently seconded to work in the Department's Head Office in Brisbane.

Been doing this line of work for 30 odd years.

Naturally I get all the Public Service benefits of sick leave, holiday leave and banked time.

So I gets lots of time for myself.

Cheers

Hi.
I am one of those people.
I am a fishing gear importer,exporter, distributor and retailor.
We also import lingerie, distribute and sell the goods.

Guess, some one has to test the fishing gear before anyone buys it, that me, 7 afternoons a week, all except those nasty thunder storm days, 300 plus days a year.
Sickies, what for, haven't had one for, cannot remember when.
Regards,
Barry.

If anyone can find it, there was a thread that Jeffo started maybe 8 months ago when he was looking at alternate employment and everyone listed what they did. As I remember, Nugget even did a tally of everyone and their jobs. The tally would be good to post to this thread.

Hey Barry ,

Who tests the lingerie out for you ....

[uncle_barry]

Hi Adamleah.
Do you want to ?
Last week it was very hard, the work, that is, I had to attend a Lingerie product release, including a fashion parade.

So I pretented to close my eyes when the girls came very close.. pretended.
And some of the products were very sheer... thats code for very nice.
Regards.
Barry.

Just a poor photographer. I rarely get sickies or time off. I just keep on sweating under hot lights and lugging cameras around It's tough work but someone has to do it

[Dug]

PS that is not me in the photo OK!!!

Hey Uncle Barry perhaps we could do some work together sometime.

If you ever need fishing tackle photographed...... or the Lingerie

[uncle_barry]

Hi Dug.
Photographing fishing gear is a bit boring.
Photographing Lingerie is 'nice'.
And even holding the reflector shield is 'nice' work.
arr, works hard.

A wee sample of the new range below,
Now guys, play the game smart, but buy nice things for the other half, and what you need, kind of has a 'nice' balance.

When all are happy and content, lets nick off fishing !

Dug, could you please send me a email to :- unclebarry@##############.au

Below, I call this hard work, now what do you call hard work.
Regards.
Barry.

Hi Dug.
My address has been wiped out by Steve's SPAM FILTER ?

Spam, please Steve.
Im am trying to help another ausfish member.

Please try another address, it might work.
talonaurora@dodo.net.au.
Sorry about the anti spam thing, it has nothing, nothing to do with me.
Kind regards,
Barry.

G'day one and all,
I'm a Prison Officer in Brisbane. Up until last year, as part of that job, I was also sent to places far, far away to do work for Immigration; I was also a Detention Officer in the Detention Centres around the country. I got to travel to queer places and meet some interesting people and do some VERY interesting things. But, the big bonus was being able to go fishing in places I could have otherwise only dreamt about. On days off, we could go fishing, and many of us did. In one year, I was able to go Barra fishing in the Kimberly (those saltwater crocs are terrifying creatures), offshore reef fishing out wide off Cable Beach (Broome,W.A.) and Port Hedland (W.A.), chasing Wahoo, Tuna and Giant Trevally off Christmas Island and spinning for monsterous GT's off the jetty at the Cocos Keeling Islands. We saw and did some crazy things (another story altogether) and we stayed in some absolutely awful accommodation and worked ourselves to a frazzle many times over, but I would do it all again tomorrow.

Cheers,
BIGNIICK.

Hey Barry holding a reflector is a tough gig too.

There was a great advertisement many years ago for folding reflectors.

Photo, a gold reflector held by a beautiful blond in Bikini
Caption "reflector $59.95, Reflector Holder $25.95".
Well I thought that was good value so I sent away my $25.95 for one, I just got a metal stand back, I was very disappointed, no beautiful blond, no bikini.

I rang to complain.

I don't think they appreciated my humor much!
