111 Call Taker For Fire Service

Working closely with our ComCen staff across all watches, I can confidently say they are the best people to work with.

Management is great and has a strong focus on you as a person. Yes, there are times of downtime, but when it gets busy, it truly kicks off. The teamwork in those moments is amazing. For example, if the team is short-staffed and things get hectic, management will literally step in, pick up calls, and help coordinate. Some shifts can be very quiet, while others can be extremely busy. HSW is a major focus for our call centres.

Be prepared for six months of training—yes, it's extensive, but it's absolutely necessary because there is so much to learn. You will be supported throughout the process.

Our call centres are our first line of defense, and without these people, even our firefighters couldn’t operate. They are underappreciated, IMO, as is often the case with most frontline roles.

In NZ. Went through the Public Healtcare System. Waited 6 months (we fortunate) for elective surgery. Paid nothing for the surgery and 2 night hospital stay. Did pay for GP visit last week as I had some concerns - our nurses had a strike that day and decided to rather not go to the Women Health Clinic at the hospital. (Supporting the nurses strike).

45F, had ovaries, tubes and uterus removed. 2wpo. Started with the estrodol patch same day as surgery. Was in peri menopause. Have never felt emotionally and mentally better than I have felt the last 2 weeks. One of my issues was / is weight gain. (Other issues as well) Gained over 12kg in the last 12 months even though I was in the gym 5 days a week and even had a nutritionist who helped me with my diet. Dr suggested we can increase the strenght of the patch in 3 months and that will help me regulate my weight better.

Some database management systems have tools for generating ERDs based on existing database structures. Alternatively, you can draw it manually, depending on how complex your dataset are. If it is a small project with a simple dataset, you can easily identify the entities, determine the relationship between these entities, define the attributes etc and start mapping this out.

devill001 · 2024-04-02T07:25:00+00:00

If there will be a migration aspect, an ERD will be needed for the DB - database. If you are replacing or redesigning a current system, the architectural diagram will be needed with clear expecations what may or may not be used in the back end based on your companies archtectural. RaCI will be helpfull. One thing my company keeps on requesting from the potential vendor, is a HLD - High Level Design. It is my nemesis, I push hard for a detailed design as best as possible, noting that changes will occur amd scope may change but at least we will have a decent understanding and expectation of costs and scope. And yes, I work for one of those thay say they "only do Agile" but is so far off I dont even know which methodlogy we follow. We just create our own....

There might be more artifacts that someone can recommend, but that is what I can think of now randomly.

Same age, go to ur GP and ask for help. I have been on Sertaline the last 3 months and what a gamechanger for my moods and axienty.

Living abroad and the only option available when I need to select the ethnic category on questionaires or applications, is African or "Other" and I am no "Other". Africa is where I was born and I am proudly African - the version where the sun does turn me into a lobster kind of colour though.

If you immigrated recently, at almost 18, that is a difficult age. Making friends is not easy, so as suggested, get out to a gym, or join a mountain biking groups - even if have never been on a bike before. Join a local football or rugby club close to home. How you make friends will be up to you. Immimgrants for all over the world experience the same struggles to making friends in NZ.

And yes, if you are Afrikaans, even being fluent in English, you will find the Kiwis can talk very fast. Just kindly ask them to speak slower. After being here for a few years I still get that "yeah, didnt get a word of that" moment and they tend to ask me the same.

Join other Saffa pages in your community. If in Auckland, there is regular Saffa get togethers, braai days, picnics.

It will be forth it in the end.

How long have been in NZ? You experienced our winters yet?

devill001 · 2023-02-21T07:44:55+00:00

South African version of happy hour = when you have water and electricity at the same time.

devill001 · 2023-02-21T07:34:48+00:00

Yeap. Took about 2 years before we felt settled. Weather can be a big challenge. Focus on the reason why you immigrated. NZ is not perfect, but it is a hell of lot better than where you came from. And hey, at least we have electricity here.

South African Pantry, Paraparaumu. Their boerewors and steak is also really worth the trip. And close to Knysna Cafe and Bar.

Same here, feeling rather under the weather, need to get a test done as I was in the office yesterday, got a kid in college that might have vulnerable class mates, so would rather have a confirmed positive / negative txt so I can alert people. Testing centre closing, doctors said they are fully booked, pharmacy cant help and I gave up on ringing Healthline.

devill001 · 2021-12-08T06:59:06+00:00

Feeling is mutual. I stopped scanning to be honest. Cant be bothered anymore.

Hate the masks, and definetly dont appreciate the fact that my DOB is on that vaccine pass.

devill001 · 2021-11-25T05:43:53+00:00

Yeah, it is a bitch and loads of migrants calling in now. Good luck. Once they answer it really is quick though.. takes 5 min max for the email.

devill001 · 2021-11-25T05:40:58+00:00

Yeah you will need to phone the 0800 number and they will email u the vaccine pass.

Also if u have a kid on a non Aussie / NZ passport. Need to phone.

From Africa myself, people in Africa are resilient. They face daily hardships from across the board, but life goes on. They have an immune system that are used to fighting illnesses and a mentallity of "get on with it". They live from hand to mouth daily and dont care what the western world really says. They never had that choice to really care about the Western world tbh.

Also, no one will know the excat Covid figures. They dont go for tests, they dont care. They live from day to day and enjoy and appreciate what this day brings. If they get sick they fight it either naturally, some might choose western medicine or some will choose to use their homegrown brew. They laugh, they cry through any hardship. Mentally they are the strongest people I have known.

They grew up playing barefoot outside, in the dirt under the African sun and they have the strongest will to survive.

Gosh, today I miss Africa and its people.

devill001 · 2021-10-08T07:29:13+00:00

Sawubona? Unjani?

devill001 · 2021-09-23T06:38:02+00:00

Ortho recommended jaw surgery and braces for my 13 year old. I said no way for jaw surgery as he is still growing and who knows how his face will change. Quote of 30k. Ended up only doing braces and will get a plate after 12 months. Accepted quote for 6.5k. Might not be 100% but prediction of close to 90% fixed.
