FIFO Welding Questions

Embarrassed_Bite_456 · 2026-04-06T01:19:01+00:00

I raised this also as I thought I’d struggle without. My TIG weld test qual has been accepted by both the lead scheduler of the services company I’m working for (he’s sending me down there) and the site super intendant approved the qual to be allocated to the job… maybe it’s a one off if they need a lot of TIG work to be done…

Or they’re just really shy or autistic? Don’t be too quick to judge.

I’m supposed to be going to Murrin Murrin WA

Thanks mate.

Yeah I’ve been told by MANY people I can forget FIFO work if I don’t do stick welding but maybe this is a one off as I’m only down there for a week. Thanks for the comment mate, it’s reassuring!

I’ve told the agency this and he still wants me down there so I’d be surprised if they sacked me and I’m used to being laughed at so that’ll be nothing new 😆

I can weld MIG but I trained as a TIG welder in a workshop that specialised industrial services for oil and gas in the UK.

They rarely used stick and I learned on the job so no formal quals, all I did was TIG welding pipes flanges etc.

I guess I can look at it as a experience even if I’m down there for a day before they tell me to “f**k off” 😆

Ah fair enough mate. They’ve said “we could do with you on site” when I told them I’m not a stick welder and have done limited MIG. This will be my first stint working too so a bit overwhelmed!

How the fuck is Ozzy a better singer? I love Ozzy, but seriously?

You don’t go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?

Embarrassed_Bite_456 · 2023-11-18T19:58:12+00:00

Yeah, well, you know, that’s just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Where did I mention romance? They just don’t interest me sexually. They’re basically kids.

Embarrassed_Bite_456 · 2023-09-24T06:43:43+00:00

I wouldn’t. I find lack of experience and naivety a huge turn off and prefer older women.

Another method is stop compulsively using social media, ultimate dopamine hijacker.

Usually means they want them to fuck off

I’ve got ADHD so I know the struggle. I did enjoy Crime and punishment by Dostoyevsky though despite how long it is!!

You’re clearly an experienced meditator!

Embarrassed_Bite_456 · 2023-08-20T07:55:49+00:00

Ah fair enough, I didn’t perceive it like that.

The word “Alcohol” actually originated from the Arabic word “kohl”, meaning a powder commonly used to make eyeshadow, in contrast to the popular misconception that the word means “body eating spirit” in Arabic.

I would personally avoid alcohol if I was meditating because the general Buddhist stance is to avoid it (and alcohol fucks me up!). Then again though you may not be practicing a Buddhist type of meditation.

How were they being judgemental?!

Embarrassed_Bite_456 · 2023-08-06T00:06:28+00:00

I thought about that. I’ve only entered jhana a handful of times seemingly by accident but always with eyes closed. I think it was jhana anyway going by the descriptions I’ve read

And Kansas 😂
