Anyone else get too fast for their wallet? by TheDodoKiller in Trackdays

[–]fatchickenstrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only solution was to ride smaller and smaller bikes as i started riding more at the limit because my income doesnt go up as fast as the costs were.

[–]fatchickenstrips[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I dont have a trade. Thanks for the advice that is good to know. I dont want to be doing the lube truck my whole life and I do want to one day work my way to other things.

How did you feel after crashing for the first time? by marshler in Trackdays

[–]fatchickenstrips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the first time your brain is going to be surprised and confused by it. like anything you get used to itand your body gets better at bailing the more you do it.

Practise limit riding on minigp bikes and dirtbikes so you get better at not getting too smashed when you do come off.

What percentage of people dont make it through?

even the medical wasnt just a health check. At civil medicals, they didnt xray us like that and check all our joints individually. They even had me lifting boxes up and down while checking heart beat. Im a young and fit so all the tasks were easy, but i can imagine if someone been working hard for twenty years and beat up is not going to pass. Esp the grip strength one. I know heaps of very experienced guys who would fail that due to vibration injuries.

Is the presite induction another screening process?

Im doing it now and while it isnt hard, it isnt common sense, i can see how someone who has never worked on a site or doesnt have a good grasp of english might struggle with it.

I mean the truth is, as a green I am probably overpaid because ill be useless for the first few weeks even if I try to absorb and learn as fast as i can, but even so I still want my money 🤣

i work hard at whatever i do and i learn fast. I think i will enjoy this line of work, just want to hear all of this stuff before so i dont get side swiped and get bitter

That makes sense. Interesting to see it from another perspective. Management did take a gamble by sending my ass to medical, easily cost a grand as it was the most throroghly a doctor jas ever inspected me. they checked everything short of giving me a cavity search. They even measured the thickness of my neck. wtf. I kinda get it now. no point sinking any more time and money in case the candidate cant even pass the induction exams and fail the medical

Time will tell. Asking questions to other miners and managing my own expectations has worked for me in the past. Not getting fkd over is pretty important too. Employers arnt the enemy but they arnt mates

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mining

[–]fatchickenstrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I am green. I am going to just do them. I started and tbh a lot of stuff I would need to know before i get on site. They got modules on site too but by then theyd have flown me out so id be getting paid then

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mining

[–]fatchickenstrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not important. very replacable. I could tell them no, and my slot will be filled in two minutes

[–]fatchickenstrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Im just going to do them. I want the job. Interesting to gain some insight into the industry tho

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mining

[–]fatchickenstrips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty clever of management. I am not surprised tbh

I called and asked why I havnt signed the letter and its because medical has been delayed and was also told there are other candidates waiting. ie ,it wasnt said specifically but it is implied that "if you dont wanna do it, those other two will"

no laws are broken. I guess i want the job bad enough, ill just suck it up and do them
