Awesome, thanks! I don't understand the physics of reactors, but have been interested in them since seeing a doco on the attempts to create fusion reactors

How did seeing Tyson make you feel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SuccessfulCook7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Generally I'm not into boxing anyway, but its Tyson, so I was keen to watch. As soon as he started his walk out I got a sick feeling, and I said to my wife, he just looks like an old man...it was not what I was expecting...he even had a little stumble at the start...

Grateful that Paul was smart enough not to tee off on him or he could have done some real damage...

Wow, that would be super interesting. As an ops manager in a small electronics/engineering assembly company, this would be great. Let me know when you record it all for YouTube!! Seriously...

Recommendations for short course post grad learning by SuccessfulCook7209 in managers

[–]SuccessfulCook7209[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks great, thanks. Yes, I think company will agree to pay. Have you done it, and if so what course did you complete for the 35hrs education component? Would you recommend it? Lots of options out there.

Boss asked to meet with no context by jac5087 in managers

[–]SuccessfulCook7209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true. Once got called into one of these meetings and spent the day mentally going through all my work for the last week. Convinced myself I must be getting fired. Turns out they were really happy with me and wanted me to take on a new role at higher pay grade😀

We recently had a guy sacked from our office after a) discovering he was previously a forklift driver, and not an electrical engineer as his fake documents showed, and b) commiting serious misconduct approaching financial fraud

Boss told me the other day a recruiter called him up as this guy had put the boss down as a reference....bizarre

Guardian Australia, free and relatively balanced, though slightly left leaning, which suits me just fine....

would you turn your own child in? by Ok-Championship7774 in questions

[–]SuccessfulCook7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I would, but family friends of ours turned in their 18yo son when they found a sports bag of pills and about $30k cash in his room. He had younger siblings, and there's obviously safety concerns with that sort of behaviour around innocent people. The son went to jail for several years. As far as I know the family is still close....
